Leagues of Gorram: Space Dwarves

February has been a weird month. I’ve been signed off pretty much the entirety of it. I wasn’t in much of a mood to paint minis, I mostly just played video games instead.

Midway through the month I was in the mood to do some hobby but I didn’t want to paint, I wanted to build. Looking in the cupboard, I decided to just go with what I fancied making instead of what project was coming up next.

That’s how I ended up here; 20 Hearthkyn Warriors built and subsequently painted. I own a bunch of the Leagues of Votann models; I bought the army box when it came out and have picked up at least one of all the other units (bar one) since last autumn. I have no interest at all in playing 40k and if I’m honest, I don’t know when I’ll play an army sized game large enough to get all of it on the table. My intention when I bought them was purely as a fun painting project because I loved the models. It feels right that the first batch to get painted were worked on with that exact feeling driving me.
