Saturnine Charity Painting Challenge

Chris Wildman is raising money for Acorns Children's Hospice Trust

Warhammer Painting Challenge · 26 July 2025

Acorns supports around 750 children and almost 1,000 families every year. The charity needs to raise £11 million each year to provide its lifeline care. Your support means Acorns can continue to be there for local families facing the unimaginable. Together, we are stronger.

Story

Inspired by the immense event of this month in Villa Park with the 'Back to the Beginning' Black Sabbath charity concert, I've decided to raise the sabre for the Horus Heresy community to unite and show their mettle towards a noble and worthy cause.

Acorns Children’s Hospice provides a network of specialist palliative nursing care and support for local children and their families. They are there whenever and wherever they’re needed—whether that’s in the hospice, out in the community, or at home.

Their services include short breaks for children at the hospices, therapeutic and psychosocial support, care for siblings and other family members, as well as emergency and end-of-life care and bereavement support.

Each child receives care tailored to their individual needs—clinical, emotional, cultural, and spiritual. Over the past year, Acorns has supported 781 children and 1,045 families across the West Midlands, including families who are grieving the loss of a child.

These are the true heroes of humanity, unlike the genetically engineered ones we read about in our books and admire in our tabletop games. My ambition is to paint the entirety of my Saturnine box set over a single weekend, and fundraise as much as possible for the incredible Acorns to support their life changing work.

The Heresy community is renowned for it's hobby passion and dedication to the setting. I am asking all of you to join me. You can be building and painting your new Saturnine kits, or finishing off those MKVI marines from last edition, or even playing a game (any edition you prefer...) with your pal and let us know the results! The aim is to wave the Heresy banner high, and to raise money for this mega charity.

All contributions are tremendously appreciated with heartfelt thanks, but so are shares and promotions of this effort! Our hobby and gaming circles are vast, lets make every corner of the Heresy community aware of the Heresy we desire! (Well... not ACTUAL Heresy... you know what I mean!)

If you have questions, ideas, or prizes you'd like to donate for giveaways on the day, I'd adore to hear about them. Send me an email to: theunrelentingbrush@gmail.com

Thank you guys, May the hobby be Heresy!!!
