Guildford Games Club Hobby Challenge: December!

The final Hobby Challenge entry for 2019! Let’s have a look at what the intrepid challengees got up to in December…

Paul got the gnoll bug and painted some for Frostgrave, then realised he needed to paint some Giants. As is a common realisation amongst most people. All of this got derailed however by wielding the world bending powers of a God to forge a field of battle

Adam continued the trend of forging worlds from nothing by making a Frostgrave table

I painted some Stormcast Eternals to finish my army off, finsished my test White Scars for Epic and the Green Arrow as I desperately tried to complete one of my pledges (note: I failed)

The Pledges!
