February is out of the way already, so it’s time to look at how we’ve all got on at Woehammer with our respective goals and painting pledges this month.
In alphabetical order let’s start with…..
Dave (@hamsfan)
Peter: Dave’s smashed another one of the harder to get ones with Scenery piece for Age of Sigmar. What a piece, absolutely love the dark stone look with this one. Who doesn’t love some heavy weapons team, Lovely mix of two mortars and an Autocannon here, they look just like they’re in the thick of the action.
Declan: Dave has managed to do what I really struggle with – actually getting paint on Imperial Guard / Astra Miliatarum. These guys look like they’ve been in a fight… until you zoom in and get a suprise! The scenery is lovely and dark with lots of blood included. Dave has managed to walk the tight-rope between scenery that looks good, but won’t overshadow the toy-soldiers.
Dave: Some quick and dirty painting on the Guard, I’ve many to do but I’m pleased to get these done. I’ll definitely be using these in a lot of my lists in one form or another. I had the terrain for ages, it’s painted simply but will be great for AoS games. Happy with my progress so far, I’m working on my Minotaur this month but might do a bit of AoS for a break too.
| Cell | Expert Level Goal: | Miniature Painted |
| A4 | Unit of 2+ Models (Warhammer 40K) | Heavy Weapons Team |
| C2 | Vehicle of Monster (Warhammer 40K) | Basilisk |
| E3 | Fortification of Scenery (Age of Sigmar) | Temple |
So that brings Dave up to 30 points for the year with all three at the Expert Level.
Declan (@declanandeeyore)
Peter: You’ve been very busy this month Declan! Three units finished and I love your kitbashed Big Stabbas. Your Termagaunts really stand out and you have got the orange and blue scheme down to perfection now, have you got a hivefleet name for them?
Declan: Cheers for the kind words Peter; I hadn’t considered a Hive Fleet name as they were painted for Kill Team but it’s a great call. I’ll do some reading to get some inspiration. Although I haven’t finished a lot of models this month, I’ve still managed to get three Hobby boxes finished including the ‘Kitbashed’ one which I struggling to think what to do. Fortunately the Big Stabbas for my Big Waaagh came to my rescue. 4 out of 25 in 2 months also puts me roughly on target so looking good although there’s some larger units and even some Behemoths to go… so lots to do still!
March will hopefully see me finishing some Napoleonic British and keeping my hand in on my Tyranid / Genestealer colour scheme. I’ve also got a Warmaster Tournament and I may get some Squigs painted to augment my Goblin army.
Dave: Great to see the Bonesplitterz, they look excellent too. As Pete says, the kitbashed ones are really fun. You’ve timed the Tyranids beautifully if you’re planning on picking up the new 40k codex!
| Cell | Expert Level Goal: | Miniature Painted |
| B1 | Fortification or Scenery (Warhammer 40K) | Sector Mechanicus |
| B2 | Unit of 2+ Models (Age of Sigmar) | Big Stabba |
| C4 | Unit of 5+ Models (Kill Team) | Termagaunts |
| D1 | Kitbashed Model (Age of Sigmar) | Big Stabba |
This brings Declan to 40 points and all at Expert Level.
Peter (@woehammer)
| Month | Models Painted/Sold | Models Acquired/Bought | Months Total |
| Jan | 6 | 38 | +32 Unpainted |
| Feb | 25 | 13 | -12 Unpainted |
Peter: This is the first month in a while where I’ve managed to paint more than I’ve bought! This includes 10 Necron Warriors that I sold on fleabay this month. I’m over the moon at my progress and have never painted this much in a month before.
Declan: Wow… wow… wow! Peter’s still on fire and whilst he couldn’t get to our small tournament recently he’s definitely on target for the weekend shortly. His Kruleboyz are going to be shooting the enemy to another life. I really like the scheme here – dark and dank models are difficult to do and Peter’s really nailed it. I can’t wait to see the finished Kruleboyz army in the flesh.
Dave: You’ve got loads done! These will look great as you pick them up off the table at Burning Skies 🙂 I’m a pretty slow painter, I’m very impressed with the speed and quality you’ve achieved.
| Cell | Expert Level Goal: | Miniature Painted |
| A3 | Unit of 10+ Models (AoS) | Hobgrots |
| B2 | Unit of 2+ Models (AoS) | Man-Skewer Boltboyz |
| B4 | Vehicle or Monster (AoS) | Swampboss Skummdrekk |
| C1 | Hero or Character (AoS) | Swampcalla Shaman |
| C3 | Any Model (Any System) | Beast-Skewer Killbow |
| D2 | Unit of 2+ Models (Underworlds) | Rippa’s Snarlfangs |
| E4 | Hero or Character (Warhammer 40K) | Marneus Calgar |
That brings me to 70 points and 7 Expert Level goals completed.
Other Members
This month we’ve also included some of the other guys who were willing to of share some of their pictures.
Steve
Peter: Steve just joined the crew this last month and has been sharing some of his pictures of his Crimson Fists. He’s building an entire company of them, and they look absolutely awesome!
Declan: How many Weapons does this Impulsor Tank need? It’s got them all and a neat and tidy base to finish it off. The Crimson fists colours obviously work together (I love red & blue armies), and this is no exception. The blue on the Plasma is also nicely done, and something I struggled with last year on the Thermic Generators.
Dave: Almost a great Ultramarine tank but you slipped a bit with the red. Seriously, this is really well done and cleanly painted.
Tony
Peter: Like Steve, Tony is a new member of the Woehammer crew and back in January painted these stunning Stormcast flappy birds! The skin on these alone must have taken hours upon hours. True talent on display both with Steve and Tony.
Declan: Dragons… but not the small ones – Tony has gone for the big guys here. Krondys (blue) and Karazai (Red) are looking great in traditional dragon poses. The wings are painted in a more realistic tone than is ususally shown, which matches nicely with the chests and really ties these together – they definitely belong in the same army.
Dave: Skar and Mufasa are both great models and Tony has done a brilliant job on them. Hopefully he and Steve will start bingo cards too!
