New Category
Can we create a category for "Miniature Painters". Art is very broad, and as much as we do fit in we often get lost and overshadowed by other subjects. If Video games have specific sections for specific games wouldn't it be wonderful if Miniature Gamers/Miniature Painters would get their own?

I think this would be great to help the miniature gaming/painting community grow on the platform!

This would be so helpful - as mentioned by so many others, "Art" and "Warhammer" are frequently but are clunky. Art is too broad, and I frequently paint miniatures that are not Warhammer.

As a miniature painter painting miniatures from companies outside Games Workshop, it's not appealing to paint under the Warhammer category, and "Dungeons and Dragons" isn't exactly appealing either.
Us miniature painters are often left picking "Art" or "Warhammer", and as a result often can be difficult to find or be discovered by potential new viewers.

Absolutely yes.
"Warhammer" is a proprietary title owned by Games Workshop, and does not at all represent the hobby as a whole even if it does represent the content of many streams.
I just stream in Art, but would prefer a category more suited to what I'm actually doing, which is focused on Miniature Art

So much agreement! Right now our choices are the super broad and super populated Makers & Crafting, Art, or the "About as appropriate as having 'Fortnite' but no category for any other video game" of Warhammer.
Also wholly in support of related categories like 'Tabletop Wargaming' and 'Scale Models'!

100% agreed, scale modeling and miniatures have a large enough community that there's more for it than many videos games out there with their own categories.

100% agree, the warhammer tag doesn't represent all the different miniature games out there and the art tag is a bit to broad of a category i think this is the perfect middle ground.

I think that Miniature Models should be its own category under the Creative Header. I also think that Mini Painter/painting should be its own tag. The mini painter/builder/designer community gets overtaken in the Art category by digital artists and Warhammer shouldn't be a catch-all for them. Please, as 3D printing becomes more and more mainstream, mini painting has become a bigger hobby than ever before! Let's do it some justice!

Great Idea, Totally agree with this, With how many different games are out there, from Zombiecide, to Warhammer and D&D there is a huge broad range of different subjects that would fit within this, without getting drowned out by the broader Art category.

100% down with this. Too long have we been drowned out or bullied out of branded channels

If anyone is watching this, do it! We've been here for years with a ton of viewers spending more time per session on our channels than the bulk of gaming viewers do. It's not a passing fad Twitch. :D

Wonderful idea. I watch several people paint minis and they all go under "art" which seems unfair versus gaming which has so many specifics.
