Sergeant 'Bootleg' Boyle

Many of you will be aware of Bring Out Your Lead (BOYL), the annual Oldhammer event that has been hosted by Wargames Foundry since 2013. Unfortunately, due to a change in circumstances, this year's event will not be happening, leaving a gap in the calendar.

Happily, the guys behind Lead & Steel and Wardollies Collective are hosting a Bootleg BOYL taking place in Nottingham on Saturday 8 August. A totally unofficial event, but it certainly will involve old-school miniatures and old-school games! If you want more details, check out the Facebook event and pick up tickets here.

It's long been a BOYL tradition that there is a commemorative event figure, and it's been my pleasure to donate a sculpt to the Bootleg BOYL event - Sergeant 'Bootleg' Boyle:

I picked up this sculpt several years ago. Unfortunately I can't remember the sculptor - all I can recall is that they were clearing some old work from their desk. 

~50 copies are being cast by Curtis Fell at Ramshackle Games and will be given out to attendees at Bootleg BOYL (first come, first served).

Curtis kindly sent me one of the first casts to paint up ahead of Bootleg BOYL. I painted my copy of Sgt Boyle up to match my Inquisitorial commandos, hence the sinister black and grey scheme!

If you make it to Bootleg BOYL, come and say hello!
