This winter I didn’t spend a lot of time on Warhammer. The covid lockdown was once again on in full force and I decided to spend my time on my job, family and other hobbies. As the restrictions finally started lifting, warhammer activity once again blossomed a bit.
The first cool thing that happened was in december when the Horus Heresy group decided to organise a ‘secret santa’-like event but with Horus Heresy consuls. Each participant would convert and paint up a consul for another member in their legion colours. I ended up converting a master of signal in Iron Warrior colours for Arjan and was gifted a Raven Guard moritat by Naut (who normally plays Alpha Legion, so I don’t trust this moritat at all!). Afterwards we played a big battle that was as spectacular to play as it was to see.
January and february then saw some more battles. A casual AoS battle to try out the new edition against my brother and some zone mortalis at Arjan’s place to prepare for the first actual event we could go to since 2 years: Gurash Wars 5 in Assen.
The event was a blast and a great motivator to finally get some Word Bearers done. Here’s what I’ve finished of the army so far (not pictured: the 2 squads and characters I did earlier).
That’s about it so far. Since the end of february the local game store has opened again and I’ve been getting some more regular games in. 40k as well as Heresy. We’ve already seen some new people coming in and life is starting to slowly return to normal. So far we’ve planned a big mega battle for the summer to say goodbye to the old Heresy edition or welcome in the new one (depending on whether the rules will be out yet). My goal right now is to get 3k of Word Bearers finished by then. Hopefully my faith will see me through!
Thanks for reading!
