So April came to pass and the Epic ArmyChallenge™ is trudging along nicely.
April was our start up month and the participants mainly rummaged through their secrets stashes and found their miniatures. A few managed to get a bit of paint pushed around too, but we are only just starting.

Dr. The Viking (me) chose the Orks and quickly amassed the following force:

| Waaagh Ghazghkull |
I went for a bit of everything and then some… basing it roughly on the Ghazghkull army from the Battle for Golgotha Prime.

Uncle Jonas was right on my heels though and finished quite a bit too in the form of a Blood Angels Tactical company worth 750 pts:
I think we’re off to a really good start and I can’t wait to see what the month of May will bring to the challenge.
