BOYL 2019 - Strontium Dog: The Shicklgruber Grab

Hi All,

Another game from BOYL. This one was put on by Michael (Aiteal) and he really put a lot of love into his table. A fun and wacky scenario. Enjoy.





I didn't really do much in this game against Bulldog Lopez, Erasmus Papafakis, and Asslessman. I made the mistake of taking a pot shot at Asslessman before he killed me and ended up winning the game. Unfortunately I also didn't get a picture of Bulldog's figure, which he sculpted himself. It was really cool.

Anyway, I'm slowly painting up some stuff for a local game of RT, dreaming of Cyberpunk adventures and Warcry for next year. We'll see where this goes.

Thanks for looking.

BOYL 2019 - An Epic Clash

Hi All,

Here is a comic battle report of the Epic battle that Asslessman from Leadplague ran for us at BOYL 2019.

The Ork side consisted of myself and WhiskeyPriest, led by The Otto Von Bismark.

The Imperial side consisted of Rochie, Curis and Pat.

The Traitors were Mr. Saturday, Thansants and Bulldog Lopez.

Strap in for the ride of your life.








Sorry for the abrupt ending, pictures during a game can be hit and miss. I missed the obscene number of Space Marines, Rhinos and Land Raiders my Gargant destroyed and Bulldog Lopez blowing the weapons off my right side right at the end. I ended up running away with the game with something stupid like 39 victory points. I owe it all to The Otto Von Bismark who had a vast knowledge of the rules and capabilities of the Gargants.

I think we all have the bug to paint up more Epic forces now.

Welcome to Laurent AP, thanks for following the blog.

Happy hobbying to everyone, thanks for looking.

A little deeper into my RoC Warband - "Do I make you Khorne-y?"

Hi All,

Just thought I'd give you a breakdown of my final RoC warband.

I used this template that was originally made by Bulldog Lopez and added the weapon stats to it. As you can see my fonts are a little all over the place. Some day I'll clean that up. I think I also mislabeled the Displacement field a Distort field.

These guys ended up being my best unit. Although the plastic arms and weapons on some were a pain to put on the metal bodies, they ended up being a fun unit. That Power Axe was the best.

I didn't end up getting to use this guy. I also didn't paint him, he came that way from Ebay. The only thing I did was texture and paint the base, repair the silencer thing and slap some matte varnish on him. 

Anyway, there you have it. I hope you get a chance to make your own band. It's a little silly, but awfully fun.

BOYL 2019 - Realm of Chaos mini Campaign

Hi All,

On the Friday a group of us met up at Warhammer World and played in a linked campaign using warbands we had rolled up from the Realm of Chaos books. We rotated opponents and played three scenarios.

Here is the campaign from my Champion's perspective.












So I got very lucky with objective placement in the first game. I barely outlasted my opponent in the second game, we apparently attacked each other with the marked unit. In the third game the bewitched/possessed sword really messed with me. I had won it after the first scenario and it essentially made my champion useless for the next two battles.

Anyway, loads of fun, fantastic models and bonkers shenanigans occurring.

I may do a break down of my warband next before moving on to the next battle report.

Thanks for looking.

BOYL 2019 - An Overview

Hi All,

Well, I made it to BOYL this year and overcame my hang ups about driving abroad and doubts about my ability to finish my figures, or my skill at the hobby.

I took tons of pictures, but I tried to distill it down to a few pages in this comic report. Enjoy.









I wish I had talked to more people, but I didn't know who everyone was and I wasn't sure how to talk to some of the luminaries of Warhammer. But that's on me, everyone at the event was very nice.

Anyway, as I said in the comic report, you should try to make it to this  event if you enjoy the old games and figures.

I'd also like to welcome Alan Luiz to the blog. Thanks for following.
