FOR THE GREATER GOOD : a Warhammer 40k fundraiser for Refugees

By Matt Grimwood

For The Greater Good!

Presenting "For the Greater Good!", a force of beautifully painted T'au Empire miniatures for Warhammer 40,000. This massive prize will be given away to one lucky winner to raise funds for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC).


Founded in 2001, the ASRC is Australia’s largest human rights organisation providing support to people seeking asylum. ASRC is an independent not-for-profit organisation whose programs include food and material aid, healthcare, legal aid, education and employment pathways, and refugee-led advocacy. More information is available at www.asrc.org.au/our-work


The grand prize contains almost 2500pts of models painted by some of Melbourne's best miniature artists in a custom scheme inspired by both the international Refugee flag and the ASRC's signature purple. The winner will be ready to hit the tabletop with additional prizes including a 10th edition T'au codex and some extra gaming aids and supplies, generously donated by The Gaming Arena in Coburg. Runner up prizes will include new in box Tau Empire models as well as some rare and out of print finecast models.


How to enter: by donating via this page!
$10 donation = 1 entry
$25 donation = 3 entries
Winners will be chosen randomly and announced on 26/10/25. An additional prize will be awarded as a thankyou for the largest donor. 

Please note that due to international shipping costs, this giveaway is available in AUSTRALIA ONLY. However, any support from our international hobby friends would be greatly appreciated (please include "donation only" in your entry).
