Second Lael Tour games

Well we certainly were more organised this Saturday with the League stuff. Tim and I got stuck into the maps needed for the evening, and Richard showed up just in time with print-outs of all the maps and rules and scenarios and all. Awesome! We had a lot of battles raging across the club-house and many points racked up, not by me unfortunately. I faced down against Feora and a Flesh-wall, no way I could get my objective down this week. Then the little Firebug rushed me, and it was all over, Bugger!
We had six visitor players again, from Ipswich, welcome guys...see ya next time again.
Cheers

BWG Forum

Wow, the Bury Wargamers have their own forum now!
A fantastic new feature for the club...I never thought 7 people could generate 130 posts in under two weeks. I think it might just work Moriarty!
Follow the sidebar links to see the Forum, wonderful way to keep track of all that's going down, Get Involved...!

Parties & Leagues

Hi all,
I've updated the Bury Album again. This time with the new pics from the Year end party and the Scrap Metal Painting Contest. Sorry that there's not more but I got distracted.

The first Call to Arms League evening was fantastic. We had a massive turnout, with 6 players from Ipswich coming through to contend. It was great, even if I did lose to Kieran. But then I think that he's beaten everyone in the club. I would like to hear if there is anyone whom he hasn't beaten yet.
See ya again soon,
G

Display Base update

Just a little update to the Figurines Album. I'm working hard to finish the Display base for Arwen, so these are the latest progress. I've shot some of the photo's in Black and White. This was more for me as I was arranging basing material, particularly rocks and grit, and since the different elements that I was using were/are all different colours it was difficult for me to determine whether I was going too far with the stuff or not. Shooting this in Black & White allowed me to see the whole 'picture' much better.

I built most of the ground out of Milliput, doing two layers so that I could build up the texture and detailing on top once the base layer had set. My sketch is almost faithfully translated into the 3D sculpt and I'm quite happy with the balance. Arwen on the horse will hopefully hold their own against the 'weight' implied by the statue. The statue is on Arwen's 'weak' side where there is not a lot of detail to hide by mistake. I have left enough room around the statue so that the horse doesn't become 'lost' within the background. The hole on the center of the base is for the horses' left front leg. I've left a little room for her to ride into the setting. I have added an ivy vine around part of the statues' waist and I'm working on a lizard from the Lustrian Jungle Swarm blister that will go on the blindside of the statue to add an element of colour (contrasting) to an otherwise bland part of the display.

I'll add more as I work, Keep looking,
