OUR JOURNEY
From a humble childhood hobby to a thriving professional studio, our story is one of passion, growth, and dedication to the craft. Join us as we share the moments, milestones, and magic that have shaped Four Realms of Chaos into what it is today.
The story began with three brothers who grew up with a shared passion for art and miniature wargames. Their early years were spent immersed in creativity, painting, and crafting.
As teenagers, the brothers were introduced to the world of tabletop gaming. Their success brought them recognition within the tabletop gaming community.
By 2012, their hobby had grown into a thriving business as word of their talent spread and demand surged. They named it Four Realms of Chaos.
Deciding to take the leap, they converted a room in their childhood home into a painting studio. The cozy space became their creative hub, and they began taking commissions.
With an ever-growing list of clients, the brothers moved out of their childhood studio into a professional space and hiring additional painters that brought fresh energy and creativity to the business.
They quickly fell in love with the strategic and artistic elements of the hobby and began competing in tournaments. At tournaments, fellow players often admired their beautifully painted miniatures. Comments like “Your work is incredible!” planted the seed of an idea.
Their passion for gaming goes beyond miniatures, inspiring their latest venture: The Magic Potion Cafe, a board game cafe. Soon, its website will be featured on the 4ROC store page, marking yet another milestone in their journey.
Through their dedication and skill, each brother became an award-winning competitive player, earning recognition within the tabletop gaming community. This success also marked the launch of their YouTube channel, where they began creating wargaming-related content.
