Score Painted Minis & Help an Awesome Painter’s Battle

Battle for Cathy featureHelp support Jim and Cathy Wappel through a serious medical battle, and you may even win some awesomely painted miniatures in The Battle For Cathy Charity Raffle.

Jim and Cathy Wappel have significantly impacted the gaming world, but unfortunately, Cathy has been diagnosed with a severe medical issue. So, the Chicagoland Paint Team and Elrik’s Hobbies have teamed up to paint two fantastic box sets that will be raffled off at AdeptiCon 2023.

However, you don’t have to be there at AdeptiCon to donate or win prizes. 

This is for a good cause, and not only can you win amazing miniatures, but you will also be helping the gaming community.

Battle For Cathy Charity Raffle For Painted Box Sets

Battle for Cathy 4Since this is their campaign, we’ll let them tell you more about it.

To say that Jim and Cathy Wappel have had an impact on the miniatures hobby community would be a vast understatement. Between the learning and fun space that is Adepticon’s Fort Wappel, and the classes, constructive criticism and generous friendships they have fostered, they have actively built a vibrant community around them, touching all of us in the process. Anyone who has ever visited the Hobby Area and stood before the proverbial ramparts of Fort Wappel knows that Cathy and Jim perform an annual labor of love, with the wonderful silliness of mini Cathy photobombs setting the tone.

Battle for Cathy 3

Distressingly, Cathy recently received a serious medical diagnosis. And while she took the news with her typical brand of optimistic determination, the issues she’s dealing with are challenging. We would like to help with the financial burdens that come with those challenges, making this tough time just a little easier for someone who has given so much without ever asking for anything in return.

Battle for Cathy

To that end, the Chicagoland Paint Team has put in the time and effort to beautifully hand paint two full campaign boxes donated by Grognard Game’s and Custom Cursed City bases from Elrik’s Hobbies. The Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Cursed City board game and the Warcry Heart of Ghurs skirmish game. To be given away at Adepticon, the evening of Saturday March 25th at 12PM. Your charitable donation of $5 gets you 1 entry into the giveaway drawing, or $20 for 5 entries and $100 for 30 entries. (Free worldwide shipping) All proceeds raised will go to the Wappels.

Attendance to Adepticon NOT required.
