133. A Tale of Many Hobbyists. Part 1.

In case I haven't mentioned this before, I run a Hobby Club called West Midlands Wizards based in, shockingly, the West Midlands.


I'm in charge of events for the club (either running them, or coordinating) and one of the events I've set up is 'A Tale of Many Hobbyists.'

In case you haven't heard of this kind of event, it is something Games Workshop used to do in White Dwarf (I think they still do occasionally), where several Hobbyists, get together, set a target, and work towards an end goal.
This used ot take the form of 'A Tale of Many Gamers,' with players growing their force each month, and taking part of a linked campaign.

While I'd love to run this, the pace is slightly relentless, and in addition, not everyone in the club games or collects large projects.
So I decided to run 'A Tale of Many Hobbyists.'

The year is split in to 4 separate parts, and at each intersection, participants set up a hobby goal to work towards.
At the end of the year, we'll all have made some awesome progress... and conveniently, completely (hopefully) a specific project in time for another event I've set up, 'Project of the Year (which is something we can talk about later).

I digress.

My hobby goal for the first 3 months is to get some of my long standing projects completed.


First and foremost I want to get Leman Russ finished (Ideally in time for the next trip I go on to Warhammer World)

In addition, my 2 classic Bloodbowl teams

The Orks:




The Humans:




On top of this, I want to finish my Lord Relictor:





These have all been started, but considering how long I paint, it is something a little ambitious for me!


How about you guys? Would you like to join in?
The first part, consisting of 3 months, runs from February 2nd and concludes May 3rd.
Hit me up on here, my Twitter or my Instagram with your pledges and progress if you do!


I'll try to post progress at least once each month

Until then (or something worth while happens)
