This looks fabulous ! are you going the full chrome and glossy red way or are you presenting the engine after a few years of service ?

Good question.. I'm aiming for the red gloss and chrome appearance to be true to the original illustration, but my intentions may be compromised by my modelling and painting skills, in which case the car will end up having the appearance of one that has competed in several other Deathraces, on dirt tracks and with more than one careful owner..!

Here's my completed ride,








Hope you all have a great time at BOYL this year with all your cool vehicles. I'll be using this baby in a few RT battles back in Australia around the same time.

As always, more over on blog.

Cheers :grin:

Wait a minute! Who's driving this thing!
Those two.
Took me a while to decide on a paint scheme and make them some proper looking arms.

There's so much to love about that racer, but nice touch with the blood splatter on the front; easy to imagine how it got there!

@Bane ... I love that you are building THAT car. Love that kind of project. Can't wait to see it.

So i mentioned I had started working on a second racer ... my first 'flyer' is all about speed ... this one is a tank.:)









Obvious weapons, Big engine and oil dispenser on the back

Re: [BOYL15 GAME] DEATHRACE 40,000

Thanks for all the positive comments guys, much appreciated :grin:

@ Niibl, those crew look great! That was time well spent making their new arms too. Good job old boy :)

@ Harry, two vehicles?!!! You are a busy boy aren't you! Just out of curiosity, that flyer, is that the final colour or how you originally got it?

It's amazing all the different vehicle type people can concoct from their imaginations isn't it :grin:

It is highly probable that my planned vehicle (Ash Wastes Crawler) may not be finished in time.

Can I bring my Brattmobile instead?

Baby you could bring a baby pram filled with snotlings, i doubt it would look out of place. Brattmobile will be most welcome, it's a Wacky Races Massacre veteran after all! And i still have the promo pics for it too :grin:

A pram filled with snotlings you say?!?! Sadly too little time :razz:

Great, I'll start waxing the paint job now :)
 
Re: [BOYL15 GAME] DEATHRACE 40,000 ROUNDUP

Alright chaps, there's a lot of us relatively committed to this game but now it's the 1st of July it's time to get down to biz.

What I need from you guys is this: a photo of your ride(s) to make the custom turn card for each player, and for you to give me that pic well before I leave for the UK around the 25th. This means you have around 20 days left to finish your models and give me a photo that i can print, laminate and cut out to bring with me.

As far as preparations go I'm in the final stages of making the improved ruleset, there have been a lot of changes necessary due to the massive interest this game has gotten, above and beyond what i had dreamed. This is both awesome and terrifying in equal measure!

For the day I don't require much, just for each of you to bring your ride, some crew on foot (optional but highly recommended), a thin black marker and a red whiteboard marker. I really need each of you to have your own pens for the day.

I will be providing custom laminated playsheets for the day that you can fill in your team, player and vehicle names on. It will also be used to track your points and damage. You dont need to have detailed knowledge of the rules but if you could make a note of your vehicle equipment before the day it will speed up the game a lot at the start.

I also need a nice pile of bloodbowl dice as these have supplanted the encounter system i was using before (thanks to Archaeopteryx for the input). We dont need tonnes but it'd be helpful to have a few sets :)

The last requirement is a sense of silly fun and the burning need for speed, which is essential for any event containing this many ludicrously overpowered vehicles - the road awaits you Deathracers, let's hope it doesnt rise to meet you too hard! :grin:

There is one more thing - I'd really really appreciate it if someone could help us out with the last piece of the track puzzle - Fimm and Erny are working on half the track but we'd ideally like to extend it to 12 x 4. To do so will likely require a 6 x 4 mat or heavy cloth with the rest of the circuit painted on - a nice big figure 8 for maximum carnage as detailed in my very concise MS paint diagram:



If any of you good kind peeps can help, I'd be willing to pay for the materials etc, and of course if you have a better idea for it I'm all ears :)

Also if anyone wants to help make a few ramp jumps or contribute humerous additions to the track then let me know - the less stuff i need to ship from Oz the better ;) We can make this the greatest race held in this or any other universe if we work together :grin: start your engines!

Re: [BOYL15 GAME] DEATHRACE 40,000

I'm so in love with this, but sadly won't be able to make it to BOYL III :(

Any chance the rules and cards will be put into a PDF so we can have our own Berlin deathrace ;)

Me and a mate already have started planning some vehicles ;)

Him; a red Ork missile with missiles ;) (anti-grav with missile launcher and supercharged engine)

Me; a Tzeentch attackbike with sidecar and psychotoxin gas (wheeled with heavy cannon, smokescreen and light mechine gun or cupholder)

Will of course add some pictures once the actual building begins.
