A hobby supply month

Having saved money in December, I had enough money to get the most important aspect of an Astra Militarum army… the new book. As always support your FLGS, but if they are out of stock, you can always go via Element Games in the UK (affiliate link).

I am still struggling to find a colour scheme that I like, and that is relatively easy… also a new arrival in the house is making it difficult to make room for hobby… but hopefully I’ll get back on it soon.

I’ve plans for next month, but unfortunately that means saving up this months budget to afford it!

That being said, I have got the base coats down on those Thunderers.

We’ve already amassed a fair amount of Dawi, and the surprise next month will add a lot more! So far we have:

  • Runelord
  • 20 Dwarf Warriors
  • 10 Thunderers

My first thoughts around the background is that this small force is from a backwater Dwarf fortress and is looking to reclaim its territory from the encroaching Greenskins. Yes, I know, cliché. But that’s all I’ve got so far.

Brett

BUDGET – Australia – $75 for January

I feel like I’ve let the side down a little this month. I had to relocate my family and unfortunately it’s taken most of the month. So I haven’t finished my Heavy Weapons team or started a new model this month. That means next month (February) I’ll have a lot to catch up on, finishing the Heavy Weapons team, building a vehicle and my command squad. Comment if you think i should build a Le Man Russ or a Chimera?

Patrick

BUDGET – United States – $35 for January

Unfortunately, Patrick is our first withdrawal from the series. Time commitments have meant that Patrick won’t be able to devote enough time to the series in the future.

Don’t worry, though. Patrick isn’t leaving Woehammer! In fact, he’s been working hard with Peter updating the warscroll data cards.

Dave

BUDGET – United Kingdom – £25 for January

Happy New Year to you and your Warglutt. I had a bit of catching up to do this month and also a few pounds to spend!

I managed to pick up an Ogor Tyrant for £15 from Troll Trader, but I have no instructions, but hopefully, I can figure it out. In the meantime, I finished off another six Ogor Gluttons for a total of twelve and a whopping 520 points. That means I can now field two battle lines, and with the new Tyrant, I can get some nice starter games in.

Saving a tenner from this month means I can start looking to add some gravy to my meat and potatoes next month…. Gravy with massive great weapons!

In a future month, I will want to pick up a butcher and the maw pot terrain, not necessary for Path to Glory games, but I will want it for matched play. Anyway, Conan never mentioned it, but surely slow cooking your enemies into a delicious stew should have been on the ‘best things’ list, especially for the protein.
