Warhammer World’s frequently changing programme of Art and Design Exhibitions are a popular attraction, with veteran hobbyists and newcomers alike often pressed up against the glass of cabinets and display boards while debating which miniature is more detailed or which piece of art more iconic. The Exhibitions combine original artwork, Archive products and beautifully sculpted and painted miniatures to create displays that reminisce over old favourites and inspire the next generation to do better.
The Exhibitions provide an insight into all aspects of the hobby. The effort which goes into producing the art used in our books and White Dwarf can only be appreciated when looking at the brushstrokes and pencil marks on the original pieces. Likewise some of the process we go through to create miniatures is shown, with the studio lending original Green Stuff sculpts and Three-Ups.
Putting what we do into context is only part of the Art and Design Exhibitions; they also explore the history behind new releases, celebrate significant dates, recognise members of the Design Studio for their hard work and there’s the occasional bright idea that seems to have a life of its own.
Warhammer World’s Art and Design Exhibitions are a great chance to see something familiar in a different light and get up close to what you care about. Plus, it’s a good way to subtly convert your friends to your favoured army, persuade your mum that it’s a potential career choice, get your partner to agree to put a print of original art in the living room...
