My Local Club had their monthly meet up this past weekend where we wrapped up a small league we had been running the past few months. The games were around 600 points, but we kept it interesting by having players swap armies for a game, team up for a round, and kept the focus on the fun of playing and falling in love with a new army. We had a nice turnout and a day full of rolling dice and sharing the excitement and plans for growing our armies in the future. Next month we all begin prepping for Adepticon so a nice event like this was a great way to get the year rolling before we begin to focus on more competitive lists in the coming months.
I also managed to complete the remaining the objectives I needed in preparation for Waaaghpaca 2019. I have admittedly been dragging my feet in finishing these up, but I buckled down to get them built and painted so I could relax in the coming week before the event and lay out the game plan for my army as I venture North! Be sure to check back Friday as I dive into all my plans and preparation for the event!
The final bit of Hobby from the week was sorting a few of the missing gaps in my Slaanesh Slaves to Darkness army. While I am thrilled to have been gifted a full unit of the Juan Diaz Daemonettes by my buddy Matt a while ago I recently realized they lacked a command unit. While the champion simply has a spare With Aelf head at her feet I still needed a Banner and Musician. Thankfully after sorting through my bits, I found a spare chaos banner and a Witch Aelf horn. It didn't take much to get them converted and painted up and I am pleased with the results.
I also found that, while I had a Daemon Prince, I lacked a Chaos Spawn. I decided to kitbash something up as opposed to buying the kit. I wanted something unique and disturbing to represent the model if the Chaos gods choose to look unfavorable when I roll Eye of the Gods. I used the Gorebeast body from the Slaves to Darkness Charot, a spare head from the Kharibdyss, a few bits from a Treelord, an extra Slaaneshi head, and some greenstuff. After I built it I was unsure about it as it looked very odd, but after getting it painted up I found myself excited to see it hit the table!

I hope you have been having a great start to the New Year and you are working toward those Hobby goals! I will see you on Friday with my "Road to Waaaghpaca 2019" coverage and until then, Happy Hobbying!
