Week One 2023 Hobby Activity

So the soldiers household has been hit with all manner of lurgy so hobby activity has been a little slow. Whilst feeling sorry for myself I built a Blood Bowl Treeman Hoping for a better week next week. Definitely getting a game in, going to get some stuff painted and will start some kind plan…

Want to the know the most expensive way to build ten Silver Helms?

Silver Helms have been a gap in my army for donkeys years. I truly wish I had kept the original ones I had from the 4th edition launch! If any one has some they want to get rid of please let me know? I had been eyeing up a combo of the horses from the…
