Warhammer
Providing positive and memorable experiences that stay with a young person for the long term. By sponsoring the Scouts Model Maker Activity Badge, Games Workshop hope to provide young people with new and creative ways to learn skills for life.
Member offer
Warhammer offer Scout and Explorer groups FREE Model Maker Activity Sessions, including a special resource pack as well as exciting fiction through their free eBooks for 11+ aged readers.
Through the Warhammer Alliance programme, Games Workshop aims to inspire, delight and amaze people, young or old, by immersing them in new, fantastical worlds to stoke their imagination.
As a long standing partner with the Scouts, and a strong proponent for providing positive experiences for young people, Warhammer Alliance have updated how they support the Scouts to learn about Model Making.
Going forward, all Model Maker Activity Badge and Creative Arts Activity sessions will first take place in one of the accredited Warhammer Stores, where the store team will provide an amazing experience. This will include learning about how models are made, how to build Warhammer Models, and how to paint them.
NOTE - As per Scouts POR 4.4.5, there MUST be a registered Scouts leader in attendance at the Warhammer store session. Warhammer stores will turn away groups attending any session which do not have a Scout Leader present.
The Scout Group or Explorer Unit will then be able to take their resource pack back to their meeting place to continue the activity and will have the option to begin exploring the Battle Honours programme. The Battle Honours programme guides and supports your journey through the Warhammer hobby and provides rewards along the way with the support of your local store manager.
You also have the option of attending a session for young leaders and/or Scout Leaders where taking your group to your local store may not be an option. This will help you to gain the experience needed to provide the activity to the rest of your Scout Group, just speak with your chosen store manager once you have submitted your application to arrange this session.
The Model Maker Activity focuses on Building and Painting Miniatures from the fantastical settings of Warhammer 40,000, a dystopian future where mankind walks among the stars, and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, a high fantasy setting where magic and monsters are commonplace. If this sounds fun? Apply for a session or read on for more information.
The Warhammer Alliance offer is open to Scouts and Explorers:
-
Come into the store for your first session where one of the store staff will provide you with a fun and focussed Model Maker Activity Session. There are a number of options for how this works, as detailed on the Warhammer Alliance website. The most important thing to remember is that your first session MUST be in one of the Warhammer stores, and you MUST have at least one registered Scouts leader in attendance, as per Scouts POR 4.4.5. Warhammer stores will turn away groups attending any session which do not have a Scout Leader present.
-
After the session you will leave with everything you need to do follow-on building, painting and playing activities in your meeting place.
-
For those groups that are really interested in progressing within the Warhammer Hobby, you are provided with an activity booklet, known as the Battle Honours booklet, that helps to support your journey into the worlds of Warhammer, and even provides rewards along the way. This can also be used as a great gateway and framework to the skills elements of the Top Scouting Awards.
Below you can see the contents of the FREE resource pack. Each pack has enough for 12 participants to build and paint 4 miniatures each. You will receive enough packs for all of your members to take part.
Check out the Scout Leaders' Guide to see the session content for yourself, as well as responses to the most frequently asked questions.
