"Mini Painting" or "Miniatures" Should be a Category
"Mini Painting" is a distinct and vibrant community on Twitch, but it does not have a logical 'Category' home on twitch. This community is currently divided amongst a handful of existing categories which are each misleading or overly general.
"Mini Painting" streams are easily recognized by an overhead shot of hands painting miniatures for RPGs, Board Games, Tabletop Wargames, or for display. These streams often have a secondary face-cam, and possibly even a third camera for a paint palette. They are a distinct type of content. Typically there are close to 1000 concurrent viewers watching content creators from the Mini Painting community.
The easiest way for Twitch to support this branch of content is to give it an appropriate name. "Mini Painting" is my suggestion, but "Miniatures Painting" or "Miniatures" also give the correct idea.
This community is currently split between existing categories such as "warhammer," "art," "makers and crafting," and "just chatting." This hurts discoverability for mini painters. They are all overly broad, and they are often misleading.
Please, Please, PLEASE add "Mini Painting" as a category. :-)

Would this also include the Gunpla community or do they need their own category?

Figurine Painting or Painting Miniatures would be a clearer category, as mini painting can apply to those that paint miniature canvas paintings as well. So "mini painting" would also be a lot more vague or misleading than you think.
