This weekend (8/9/10 August) holds the promise of some real excitement for fans of classic Citadel models and GW games; Foundry are hosting the Oldhammer
'Bring Out Your Lead' event; for the second year since its inception. The event is likely to be a rather free and bohemian affair, with a range of games being pushed round some tables. I believe there might also be some consumption of an alcoholic beverage or two in the evenings!
Although I can't attend the entire weekend, I've been given a pass for Friday evening socialising and Sunday gaming. Earlier I pulled together everything I'm planning to bring with me - here's the pile:
Crikey, that's a bit more stuff than I thought I needed to bring. The pile includes:
 |
| 1 Bratmobile to be used in Cheetor's Gorkamorka / Whacky Races mash up |
 |
| 1 crane and a selection of crates (more in the box) to be used in JB's Confrontation extravagansa |
 |
| Miscellaneous figures, including my Brat gang (for use in both above games) and the Oldhammer Legacy Warband figures received to date |
 |
| Some rules and reference books |
 |
| A big box of trades, split into 'Rogue Trader', 'Fantasy', 'Fantasy Chaos' and 'Skaven'! |
 |
| Finally a bag of Brat badges I had made to give to anyone who fancies one. Especially those other players in the Confrontation game, who might actually get spooked ;) |
Have I forgotten anything?
It was a toss-up between going to BOYL and seeing Morbid Angel perform the 'Covenant' album in its entirety in Bristol this December. The latter won, but seeing people preparing for this weekend has me wondering if I made the right choice after all!
ReplyDeleteDifficult decision I guess. I think I'd have bitten the bullet, booked both in the hope the cash fairy came along between now and Dec to sprinkle a few quid ;)
DeleteVery nice selection, I havn't even started packing or sorting mine yet.. Come to mention it I still have some painting to finish hehe. I look forward to raking though ya toy box and offering you shiney monies for the goodies :D (Yes the sounds dirty... don't you know me?)
ReplyDeleteWasn't there something I was supposed to be bringing you Chico? My box is pretty much open for anyone to stick their hands in for a good rummage ;)
DeleteYes your collection of vintage goat porn and a JD Klegg :D
DeleteKlegg! I knew there was something!
DeleteAs BOYL lumbers closer, I keep wondering why the hell aren't I going? It looks to be a ton of fun this year.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to see your pics of the event! BTW, could you please tell who does that crane? It looks really great!
