Month: December 2019

Guildford Games Club Hobby Challenge: November!

Delayed getting this written up so apologies! But let’s see what the industrious hobbyists at the GGC have been up to…

Adam has some new converted Scouts using the Necromunda Enforcer models as a base plus look at that detailing on the bike consoles!

Paul is still building his monster menagerie like some kind of mad zoo keeper…now to wait for his players to actually roll them up on the random encounter tables.

I had a disjointed month, moved house, etc. so only painted 3 models proper. I did do some work to make an MDF army playable though.

The Pledges!
