For the month of October we ran a small painting competition on Woehammer, where the winner could claim a set of free Woehammer dice. All the participants had to do was paint an Ork/Orruk model or a model with a Halloween feel or style.
Our winner, as chosen by the Woehammer Discord community was ElevKev with their excellent Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon.
But all the entries were excellent as you can see below!

So the deadline has closed and the judges are reviewing the miniatures and giving their scores. We will announce the winner on Friday 7th January where they’ll be asked which Combat Patrol or Start Collecting box they would like as their prize.
This has all been made possible thanks to our amazing sponsor SCN Hobby World, where you can get up to 25% off your miniature orders!
Stay tuned!
So after the failed attempt of deciding a winner the first time around via voting, we’ve decided to reopen the competition to entries.
The winner will be decided by a panel of judges and the winner will receive their choice of start collecting or Combat Patrol box. This is made possible by our generous sponsors at SCN Hobby World.
You’ll have until 31st December to make your submission. As before the rules are as follows;
1) your submission can be any miniature from any games system, as long as;
2) the miniature fits on a 50mm wide base (round or square)
3) One submission per person
4) one of the photographs submitted with the miniature must include it with a note showing the email address of the competitor.
5) entry for submissions closes at midnight (GMT) on 31st December 2021
6) send your submissions to thewoehammer@gmail.com
There’s only a week to go with our inaugural painting competition the Woeful Brush, sponsored by our friends at SCN Hobby World.
The winner of the competition will walk away with their choice of Combat Patrol or Start Collecting Box. You still have a week to enter as the closing date for entries is 30th November 2021.
To enter, email at least two pictures of your models to thewoehammer@gmail.com. One picture must contain a note with the email address the submission is coming from, this will prove its your own work and not that of someone else.
Once the submissions close on the 30th November voting will begin on the website and Twitter. Once the voting is over we will contact the winner to congratulate them and ask them for their choice of start collecting or combat patrol box.
What are you waiting for, get your entries in!
Here are the entries we have received so far:
Two submissions this week under the #Woehammer on Twitter. Both members of the team.
If you want to see your miniatures on the site remember to use the hashtag #woehammer either on Twitter or Instagram.
Dave has started a new 40k 9th Edition army, this time focusing on the Space Marine Chapter the Imperial Fists. The model below is his first Marine for the army, and I think you’ll agree its a stunner!
Dave has gone for an awesome golden yellow armour tone and black trim denoting the 5th Company.
The detail on the base is great, and I especially love the coiled barbed wire and spent casings next to the dismembered head.
It’s little different this week for Declan’s submission, here we have an army shot of the force he took to Mancunian Carnage last weekend.
The blue armour really stands out along with the spots of Red. Declan has joked in the past that his Orcs have been called the Crimson Fists. It’s a great army and Declan finished the weekend 3-2!
And talking of Declan’s fantastic tournament performance, only yesterday he was interviewed by the AOS Coach on YouTube about the Gloomspite Gitz! I’ve included the video below for you to watch.
