Welcome One and All to the first of this year's Warhammer Hereford Painting Competitions. We're going to run them bi-monthly (roughly) with broad themes leading up to Armies on Parade in the Autumn.
First up is 'New Year, New Challenge'. What new projects have you started on this year? It doesn't have to be start a new army, maybe the challenge is new knowledge, like taking some 'battle-ready' miniatures to 'parade-ready' standard, and if there's something you'd like to learn, then get in touch and we'll show you some skills. We'd like to see something new from you, a single unit, character, big'un or whatever gives us a flavour of what you've been working on at the start of the year. This also ties in beautifully to 1 Million Miniatures which starts on the 17th January and gives you even more motivation and incentive to get cracking on those hobby projects.
We'll feature it in our cabinet for 3 weeks. We'll take votes from the fine folk of Herefordshire and ask for their 3 favourites. Winners get my traditional 'best in show' mini-trophies (don't get too excited) and pride of place in the cabinet for a victory lap.
Criteria? Has to be GW models, has to have been painted by you. (Forge World is fine)
Your themes for this year remain very similar to last year, all based on our Battle Honours beginners program. Come and see us to learn more about Battle Honours
