Golgfag1's preparations for BOYL 2015

[Golgfag1]

No mention of my 1-0 win of course and for those wondering about that Catcher.. she's in the crowd

And there was me thinking it was a friendly game, teaching me the rules of BB in prep for BOYL; Oh, well, which begs the question - why you didn't beat them by a wider margin?

Maybe you just weren't making those Armour rolls

Paul / Golgfag1

That's a simple answer, it's cause I suck at BB hehe

As for you learning you caught on rather well so it wasn't a chore of a game but a rather fun entertaining one A few games under your belt and a numbered team and your'll be gravy for the Oldbowl.

 

[Golgfag1]

Already, marked up the team and purchased a game, associated teams (plastic - uck uck) and bits & pieces and planning for a re-match, looking good at the moment!

So, this originally started off as my - paint a figure in an hour challenge, daughter off to London, wife out shopping etc. here's the opportunity I've been waiting for; and then it started the phone calls, the deliveries, wife returns, lunch, do I go on; No, I bloody well just give up!
Any way this is what I ended up with before I gave up.
Enjoy

That's more than I get done in an hour.
Now enough of that sh!te ... start building a boat.

 

[axiom]

Looks a pretty productive hour to me! Nice work

 

[Golgfag1]

Thanks for the comments guys, their not quite finished and all in all, will more than likely take another afternoon of interruptions to get to a stage of being, where I want to be, but time well spent. They'll more than likely be my crew for the boat, which just needs its sails and rigging or a mercenary band looking for employment protecting a caravan somewhere on the Eastern steppes!

Right, amongst all the other stuff I've currently got on the painting table I took the one hour challenge, again; but this time something a lot easier, simplier & thus a whole lot nastier to paint because of the latter - so, with a lot of dry-brushing and a burst of inspiration I present a 'C' series demon! Still needs to base sorting out, but completed well within the hour.

Enjoy

[Chico]

That looks rather tasty indeed, even more so for a hour challenge paintjob

 

[Golgfag1]

Here's what I've currently painting -those of you who've seen my most recent posts may see the similarities in the colours being used!

My plan is to complete ten figures per week on the run-up to BOYL2015, so hopefully I'll have a reasonably sized warband/host by the time I see you all there.

[Golgfag1]

Ok, ship finally rigged, just applying paint to the crew and passengers!
Blood bowl team ready & able
Brettonians boxed and ready for Steve.
Wolf riders and Half-orcs ready with the horse nomads still requiring basing for the other Steve
Also bring my Lizardmen/Slann hopefully for a game of third against someone?
Might also bring my early 40k stuff just in case!

How's everybody else doing?

[Count Von Bruno]

Great thread Paul, is the iconography on the sail handpainted?
It's impressive.

 

[Nico]

I love your Slann army !!

 

[Chico]

Good looking toys mate

 

[Golgfag1]

Thanks for the comments guys,

As for the sail - no, I'm not that steady with a brush over a textured surface, a hand drawn paper stencil, painted and lacquered in place.

Very kind words from a maestro of the knife and brush are high praise in deed - One day Nico we will have to have a re-match my Slann / Lizardmen against your forces of Chaos or whatever you've graced talent upon (?) - one day, one of us will cross the channel, one day!

All I do is apply the paint Chico, the toys do the rest.

Paul / Golgafg1

 

[Nico]

One day Yes... Cross the channel to play a huge battle ... An orgy of Oldschool lead, Like this :

Gamesday 1986.

 

[Golgfag1]

I was there - Royal Horticultural Hall, London - just round the corner from where I lived, when I first moved to London.

Great days

Paul / Golgfag1

 

[Golgfag1]

More work in progress coming to a successful conclusion - Seeker of Slannesh

Paul / Golgfag1

Yes, I know more naked, nubile Daemons , what can I say - I'm at that phase!
