I have the next couple of months of painting all planned out, and I can’t stray too much from the plan because a lot of the painting is for meetups/leagues (i.e. there is something to keep me accountable).

I began my hobby year by finishing off a Warcry warband I was painting for my friend Roland.

Nowadays the game is kept alive by a devoted community of fans playing and developing the unofficial Warmaster Revolution ruleset, buying/selling/trading old official models, and creating new unofficial models and even whole new unofficial armies through the wonders of 3D printing.
