We've been to conventions aplenty these last few months, but summer is still sizzling. We're bringing The Army Painter party to NOVA Open soon. The East Coast gaming convention had 3,700 attendees last year, and we can't wait to see how it grows this year. NOVA Open is the place to exercise your strategy for games such as Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade, Warcrow, Halo: Flashpoint, and so much more. Plus, you can play board games, participate in RPG sessions, attend seminars, and shop. In other words, you're going to have an excellent time.
Even more so if you visit The Army Painter booth!
Events and Factory Team
The Army Painter has a star-studded cast at NOVA Open. Stop by our booth to meet a host of enthusiastic and wildly talented painters. Our full events team will be on hand to answer your questions, help you find the exact paints and tools you need to do your best work, and demo our products. Be sure to talk with Kat, Caleb, and Tim—they want to hear about your hobby.
Four members of The Army Painter Factory Team will be at the convention too! Keep an eye out for Sam Lenz, Phil Hall (aka Phil the Glacial Geek), and Dave Taylor and Jake Krajeski from Build Paint Play.
Stock Up on Paints
If you've been feeling an itch, or a need, for hobby retail therapy, stop by and see us. We'll have the Scrubby Cup, our popular event exclusive, up for grabs; it's a collapsible water pot with a removable scrubby bottom to get your brushes clean. Pick up brushes and basing materials to finish those final details on your army, grab that Speedpaint refill you've been meaning to pick up, and shop John Blanche Masterclass sets and singles. Will Blanched Berry change your life? Maybe. We make no guarantees, but you can try it and see.
Classes
Want to spend some quality time learning about The Army Painter range from our very own Caleb Wissenback? That's wonderful to hear, because he's hosting three 90-minute classes. Get all the details on how to use Warpaints Fanatic, Speedpaints 2.0, and Warpaints Air. If you want to attend a class, be sure to check out the schedule and purchase tickets from the NOVA Open site soon, because they're selling out fast.
Hobby Haven
Take a moment, or several, away from competition to nerd out with your fellow hobbyists. The Army Painter is once again sponsoring the Hobby Haven. We'll have our paints, tools, brushes, basing materials, and more, so you can pull up a seat and paint your heart out. Connect with other painters, ask about their techniques, and maybe bring a first-time painter with you. As long as you have fun—that’s the most important part.
Trench Crusade Paint and Take
For eight centuries, the war has raged. Now it's time to paint it at NOVA Open's Trench Crusade Paint and Take. For those who haven't stepped onto the battlefield yet, Trench Crusade is a grimdark world set in an alternate timeline where a heretical band of Templars succumbed to evil. Consider this Paint and Take an initiation for using The Army Painter paints on Trench Crusade factions…
NOVA Open is happening from August 27-31 at the Washington Hilton. Come hang out with us and get your hobby on.
