This category observes the quality of the work as it pertains to the distance from the subject. The level of details that are painted and the consistency of the work will be the primary factors used when determining the difference between arms reach and close inspection qualities.

The Judge will apply a score informed by the guide below.

Basic: Broad Strokes (1-2 pt)

The subject demonstrates a consistent color palette but does not hold up within arms reach. This level of paint is typically attributed to bare minimum battle ready.

Intermediate: Arms Reach (3-7 pts)

This army looks good from an arms reach distance with a consistent color palette. Major details such as bags and belts are painted consistently across the bulk of the army. The paint job does not hold up under close inspection.

Advanced: (8-10 pts)

This army looks good under close inspection with a consistent color palette. Major details such as bags and belts and minor details like eyes and teeth are painted consistently across the bulk of the army.
