About the event
LVO 2026 Forged Brush Painting Competition
We’re proud to bring the Forged Brush to LVO 2026.
This marks the 7th Forged Brush Painting Competition in the past five years. The Forged Brush is more than just a painting competition—it's where the Kill Team community comes to show what the hobby is capable of. Whether you’re just picking up a brush or have years of experience, this is your chance to put your work on display, earn recognition from fellow painters, and compete for trophies, Finalist Pins, and the legendary Forged Anvil—an actual, full-sized anvil awarded to the best entry in show.
Every entry matters. Every detail counts. And whether you walk away with a medal or a memory, the Forged Brush is your place to be seen, be inspired, and be part of something built by painters, for painters. Registration Deadline: All entries must be registered by 5:00 PM (local time) on October…
