It's the return of the OnTableTop Spring Clean Hobby Challenge 2024. It's Springtime, a period of the year all about renewal and regrowth. We're asking you to crack out your old, broken, badly painted (yet still awesome) projects and give them a new lease on life.

Spring Clean Hobby Challenge 2024 Is Now Over

- Revamp an old and unloved miniature in your collection
- Revamp or rebase an entire army that needs some love!
- Take some old miniatures and turn them into an ace diorama!

- The challenge runs from 20th March through to 20th June (which just so happens to be all of Springtime!) so you've got about a few months to develop your project

Some awesome prizes I think you'll agree. Maybe you'll be able to use those vouchers or that grand prize to tackle your pile of potential!
The 5 Categories & How To Win
So how do you win those prizes? Well, we have several categories that you can enter as part of the Spring Clean Hobby Challenge! Prizes for Winner and Runner-Ups will be given out to...
Best Skill - The most skilled work, be it painting or overall finish.
Best Tutorial - The person who shows us, in detail, the steps from start to finish.
Best Idea - You don't have to have finished your work to be able to produce something which showed great skill in the planning.
Best Junior Member - Someone under the age of 16 will also win themselves a prize! (Remember to mark your project as a Junior Member in the title!)
A Breath Of Fresh Air - Take a beautiful picture of your finished work in an awesome outdoor location!
All entries will be judged based on the number of votes on a project in each of the above categories (Skill, Tutorial, Idea) so if you see a project that you think really deserves recognition, remember to get involved and hit those buttons!
Remember To Hit Those Buttons & Share The Love!
This number is then combined with our personal choices from the OnTableTop team here in the studio and from that point, we'll pick our winners.
So make sure you delve into this and get stuck in. We, as part of the OnTableTop crew, are going to be getting involved ourselves and showing off the work we've been doing on our own long-forgotten projects.
Get involved!

What are you going to be working on this year? I might dig out some Old World Dwarfs!
I’m thinking Old World Dwarfs too… Funny thing is, I Spring Cleaned my Warhammer Dwarfs to round bases 5 years ago: https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1384743/ Now would be the time to go back to squares ?
Oh, I have so many things I could work on, what to choose?
Rome
Rome
Seems like the consensus is Rome…
This year I will attempt a project that doesn’t use decorating supplies.
Hah nice
I have a few things I can do and may start them but I’m focusing on some Romans because I want to finish them this time, maybe get started on some Gauls as a stretch goal.
Great stuff – get rollin’ on those nice Romans!
I have so much that could be done for this, just need to decide on what I will actually do this year….
Really like the category images used above, very spring-like ?
Looking forward to seeing what you decide on!
I need to finish that 54mm space marine Gerry sent me a lifetime ago.
It’s that time of year again to dig through our old stuff. Time to roll my sleeves up and have a rummage.
I have many options. Blood Bowl teams, Necromunda bands, Warcry, Pandora’s box for Mythic Battles: Pantheon, last box of minis for Journeys in Middle Earth.
Will I do any of them though?
I don’t know what I’ll do, but I know I have lots to do
And just like that a new project is borne. And I will kill the project system by force if it keeps working against me. Bl**dy flocking computers!
I had tow different WWX/LWX posses I could have chosen for last year’s spring cleaning… Perhaps I should just do the other option this year?
I’ve got an army update to do this year. Didn’t get off the ground at all last yeare but I’m very much looking forward to using this to add impetus to my painting intentions. Bauhaus Warzone Imperial Guard: https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1720648/
Edit: just worked out the answer to my question. Project now posted!
I think I will be concentrating on finishing and/or updating some of my existing projects rather than looking to start too many more at the moment. I have been neglecting a few other projects for a while now, what with terrainfest followed by dungeonalia, so I really should just go back and clean up some loose ends and catch up with some updates that I have failed to do. I am looking forward to seeing what everyone else gets up to though as there are always more than a few hidden gems that come to the surface, but for me,… Read more »
I’m still trying to Spring Clean my work area. If I can get that back to full fighting form I will be finishing construction of a 4Ground Warehouse model. So many inspiring Spring Clean Projects!
I sadly can’t join in this year with my walking dead projects I’ve got to concentrate on my research project…. next year however, I shall win something with TWD
I really wish I could get involved. My work is absolutely killing me at the moment. Since last June I’ve spent almost as many nights in hotels as I have at home. I can’t remember the last time I had time to do anything hobby related
I would hate that! Poor man!
Two weeks to go, and just over halfway done on mine…
