Slow-Grow Challenge 2024: Battleline

Leave a comment

Back in January, we announced our first slow-grow challenge for the Woehammer community to follow along with.

Each month presents a new challenge. February’s was to build and paint a general for their army along with some lore to accompany them. This month, our Generals had to post their first battleline unit and, if they had the time, some accompanying lore!

Tavendale

Last month, Tavendale posted two Generals for the competition, the first being Heinrich Volkmarsson.

This month, Heinrich is joined by a unit of Halberdiers:

Last month, Tavendale also managed to paint up Zarnak the Accursed, though with time being a precious commodity this month, we’ll have to wait until next month to see the first unit.

Popliteal

Previously, Popliteal had given us our first Dragon!

Fittsy

The first of two Kharadron armies, Fittsy started with Krid Cogbreaker last month.

And has followed this up with Red’s Footsloggers, a unit of Arkanauts.

But that’s not all! Fittsy blessed us with an additional battleline this month in the shape of a Gunhauler!

Ian Humpage

Ian started a Kharadron Overlords, much like Fittsy above, but instead started with the famous Drekki Flynt.

This month, Drekki is joined by a unit of Thunderers.

Deathcorekiddie

Deathcorekiddie has the only 40k army in the challenge, starting with a Terminator Csptain for his homebrew Space Marine chapter.

Unfortunately, injury has meant Deathcorekiddie was unable to complete any units this month, but we’re sure they’ll be back with vengeance next month.

Being a massive fan of the old school RTS games Shadow of the Horned Rat and Dark Omens, I decided I would do two armies, the first based on the Grudgebringer

As well as the Grudgebringers, I’ve decided to bring an army of Night Goblins some personality

April’s Challenge

You’ve the start of a budding army! But we need more troops! Perhaps something to give a little ranged threat to the enemy? Or a unit that can scout ahead fast? Build and paint at least 5 models from either a missile or scout type unit (this could be cavalry, or perhaps Giant Eagles for Wood Elves, or a Gyrocopter for Dwarfs?).

Additional: Whose your leaders most hated foe and why? Did they suffer some slight at the enemies’ hands? Was a member of their family brutally mudrered by them?
