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!

Game on!I can report for December as being actually completed are eight Gnolls.

And that’s us done for 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.

Also been doing more frostgrave terrain for club campaign.

Guildford Games Club Hobby Challenge: October!

Let’s see what the GGC has been up to this month!

Adam has been diverse in his projects. Painting space marines, placing in a Warhammer Fantasy 6th Edition tournament and getting his terrain on!

Paul had a similarly eclectic month, painting varied Reaper figures for Frostgrave. And a train.

I painted some random bits andpieces, trying to finish off my paint queue for the year. I also went to the Epic World Tournament in France and finished in 3rd! Hurray!

The Pledges!

All speed paints but effective enough for npcs , including a variety from white apes and snow trolls, through zombies and skeletons, down to kobolds and sewer slimes. No actual kings of war elements complete, but 39 pieces of various sizes. Happy days. Now to see them kill some wizards!!

Guildford Games Club Hobby Challenge: September!

Another month another set of industrious painters at the GGC!

Adam finishes up some more models for his Genestealer Cult and adds to his new Space Marine project. Fantastic work with the OSL as always.

Paul has taken on a challenge for a big for Kings of War. That doesn’t stop him painting up some objectives for Frostgrave!

James Dix’s Imperial Guard force grows apace with a huge amount of work being put into it. Those cavalry are especially good but I really want to know how he does that dirty white on the tanks…

And I finished some dwarves for Lord of the Rings, a single Custodian Guard and Tom Bombadil with a custom base to mark his zone of control.

I’ve managed to complete 5 infiltrators for my raptors, assemble and base coat a ‘slaplin’ for my Revilers. On the GSC side I’ve done an abominate who’s been sitting on the shelf for ages and start to upgrade my neophytes to have mining lasers and Webber, which is the current meta for dealing with eldar flyer spam. Need eight of each. It never ends!

Guildford Games Club Hobby Challenge: August!

With his Genestealer Cult tournament ready Adam could have taken his foot off the pedal. But nothing will hold him back from defending the Imperium of man! Some eminently rational space marines: Raptors!

Not to be outdone Paul’s legions of halflings gather apace, backed up by some giant armoured halflings from Italy and never before have I seen such appealing twigs. Just look at those goats!

I finished off the last bits of my LotR Elves with Gil-Galad, Haldir and Elrond, plus Gandalf ‘cos everyone needs a Gandalf. Then dove into my WW2 French for Flames of War. Plus some little airplanes for Epic.

These guys are Raptors. A successor of the ravenguard and commonly known as sensible marine. These guys style of play have seen a massive boost with the new vanguard units and need a little love. I have just been painting the stuff I already have, left overs from dark imperium and shadowspear. Here are some pictures of the entire force to date, some where painted over a year ago though.

Guildford Games Club Hobby Challenge: July!

July is checking in with some fantastic work from the Guildford Games Club. Adam is here to dazzle us with object source lighting and some cheeky conversions from Kal Jherico and a Kasrkin to make more mutant pistolero

Paul’s halfling horde grows ever mightier with some trolls, ogre bodyguards, a financier and a goat mounted knightly prince. Not to be outdone by those hobbitses the Rohirrim rally to their banners

I painted some more elves for Lord of the Rings. Wood elves and some of the many (many many) elven heroes. Plus I added some bright orange and red remotes to my Infinity forces, who needs stealth when you’re the Invicincible Army

Guildford Games Club Hobby Challenge: June!

June has been a quiet month on the hobby front but even that doesn’t mean there’s been no progress. Paul shows us just who the master of halflings is (as though that was a topic ever in doubt) but also dazzles us with some romans and an ogre.

I was rather less productive this month but I did manage to paint a pair of Infinity figures and some cavalry for Lord of the Rings

A new challenger approaches! Adam has more Genestealer Cultists with which to bring enlightenment to all of us citizens.

Lots of expendable brood brother and more abberants! Going for a take on the ‘muscle beach’ style list. We’ll see how it goes! It’s chess clocks and a horde army so going to need to speed up. I’ve still got to complete another kelermorph, 5 more abberants, 10 brood brothers and 20 acolytes for the 17th july. It’s going to be tight!

Guildford Games Club Hobby Challenge: May!

May is done and there’s been some very industrious work done this month. Let’s have a look!

Adam has built a display board to go with his Genestealer Cult, showing us where they are truly from. It looks fantastic!

Paul comes back swinging with two entire units and three characters. One and all little masterpieces. Just look at that half a Gandalf!

I had a productive month, getting models done for several games. Sigmarines and Space Marines, French Recon troops and a mix of criminals and law enforcement.

Guildford Games Club Hobby Challenge: April!

And we’re back again with some hobby updates for April! Let’s see what people have been getting up to.

First up Adam continues his Genestealer Cult project, transforming some of those primed models from previous months into gorgeous, colourful, object source lit weapons of war! With all those yellows and blues is he some kind of secret Carolean?

Not to be outdone James brings the thunder! A veritable legion of Imperial armoured might to smash aside any foolish enough to argue the Emperor’s right to rule. Some ace painting too, jealous of that rusted, grubby white!

I painted a fairly eclectic mix of things. Some 10mm models to complete my Warmaster army for a tournament, continued building up my Invicible Army and a few Somua for Flames of War early war. Plus a few renegade space marines.

2019 Guildford Games Club Hobby Challenge: March!

Lots of busy people hobbying this month! Let’s see what they’ve been up to…

First up Paul has used his willpower to resist the calling of halflings to instead bring us Rohirrim for LotR, some of the characterful Anyaral World of Twilight models and a converted Ogre

Adam Stallwood’s Genestealer Cult grows apace as he shows us both his skills with a brush and his discipline to tackle such a challenge!

I have rather less focus and painted an assortment of bits and pieces. Completing two projects though. AoS Orcs (only took a year…) and AoS Endless Spells. As well as adding another few models to my Invincible Army for Infinity and starting some FoW Frenchmen.

The Pledges

NamePledgeProgressComments
Tom James Lavers Bevell 1. Finish painting my Dark angels (there currently are at least 200 unpainted models, 80 of which are tactical marines)
2. Actually win a game with them!
Sam ParishI have four cases of unfinished models. Some need some hobby work done, others just need painting. What I’d like to do, is have the club pick one of my boxes at random on a poll on the Games club page, and that’s the first box I work on.
James DixTo complete my:
Imperial Guard army (4000pts ish left to do)
Prussian army
Necromunda House Gangs
Alex EdeFully complete my heresy blood angels and sanguinius (if when he drops) roughly 1500pts left to go and place well with them in the heresy eventsAnd make a proper start and finish my ironjawz to 2500pts and then take them to an event at WHw
Paul TownsendI aim to complete the equivalent of two elements (character, “troop” sized unit or war machine) for kings of war each month. Included in this at least 3 giants, complete my Frostgrave warband, napoleonic french, and get the Halfmen to a good playable size army. Game on!Rohan, Anyaral Noble knights, noble, and pack beast, and another beautiful Ogre I’m probably ruining with knife and putty! (And tin can…..)

In terms of painting, I wanted to push myself this year and have decided to do these as my standard paint job – something to work up from. I tend to do a couple of simple base colours, a good helping of my trusty Army Painter strong tone, neaten, little highlight and then call it a day.
