Gallery
The 2023 ArcOpen was a fantastic success!
There were 84 participants presenting a field of more than 240 entries across three categories - Single Miniature, Unit/Squad, Large Figure.
It was an incredible display of creativity, talent, and hard work from everyone involved. Thanks to all of the participants who entered their works into the event.
Their dedication and passion for the hobbyhelped to create an atmosphere of excitement and inspiration. It was amazing to see so many unique and imaginative works on display.
This Gallery recognises those efforts.
Best in Show
The principle behind ArcOpen is that we acknowledge effort and skill level demonstrated by all entrants and recognise them within each category with award levels.
But, there is sometimes one entry that stands head and shoulders above all others…
Dave Colwell presented such a miniature in his Chaos Dwarf in our Large model category. Our Judges were unanimous and unambiguous in their selection of the Best in Show - our top accolade.
