From its beginnings, the Freak Wars painting competition has had a strong focus on fantasy, but we cannot forget that historical modeling is the true root of our hobby. In fact, real-world history has been fantasy's greatest muse throughout the years.
Through this exhibition, we want to highlight this direct connection: how historical armor, clothing, and settings have shaped the fictional miniatures we love so much. Our goal is to bring both worlds together, show that they share techniques and storytelling, and encourage both historical and fantasy painters to find inspiration on the other side of the brush.
