So ,my lads are a Black Templar Termie commander,a Rat Ogre ( again ).
My Wulfen termie and my BIG LOGAN GRIMNAR !
I dont think I will get my duel finished as I want to do a Spartan for Euro.

SO it looks like just the 4 boys ( I suppose thr rat Ogre could be a Gal )

GOD bless ..................VINCENTI :flip:

Errrrrr what happened to NOT entering???

 

[Avelorn]

I\'m well on the way with a single warhammer entry. I have one for lotr and 40k single on the way as well. Going to prime the lotr one today. And yeah I have touched up and repainted almost everything on the ogre I did last year so it\'s probably going into warhammer monster. It feels very good to actually have time to finish at least one entry properly for once. The high elf for single warhammer is also probably going to be finished in good manners. Lotr probably... single 40k.. well I really need to finish it because it\'s kind of a surprise but I will probably still be painting it on the hotel room.. we\'ll see how it goes.

Meeting up sounds fine. But saturday come on you brits - give us a parteey!

@Mike: I think it\'s in this thread somewhere

 

[Dragonsreach]

Well those of you at Platoon Britannica saw two of my entries.
WFB Single
LOTR
I also have an Open entry ready
I\'m about to start my 40K single (Today as I\'m off work )
and I have a Warhammer monster Primed and ready to play with.
The duel I was planning on might still go ahead, as might the warhammer regiment.
I\'m off work all next week so Michaels going to be a painting idiot, for the week.

(P.S. MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE A BANNER TO MAKE OUR RALLYING POINT EVEN MORE OBVIOUS ! )



I think that is a great idea, which stand will we meet at????
Do you all mean the repair table by the cabinates?



???

 

[generulpoleaxe]

it\'s always at the repair tables mate

hopefully i\'ll have a couple of finished landsknechts (just can\'t get the time to get the buggers finished) with me, as well as a 54mm if i can get it cast up and painted in time

 

[GobboTeef]

That\'s the one yeah, and don\'t worry it will be obvious who we are.

More importantly we should probably arrange a time....or else it could get slightly complicated......half 1 ish or 2 wasn\'t it last time?

 

[alextheartist]

Anytime is good for me

You can get in younger than 14. I went when I was 12, 13 and 14. As far as I can remember that was more of a recommendation than a rule. But you need a guardian if you\'re under 16.

...but i don\'t have a gaurdian...

 

[alextheartist]

Just find someone at your local gw who is 16 or older and as long as your parents give permission for them to \"look after you\" it will be fine. I did it last year when i was only 15..

[nick232]

but nobody is entering GD, so i would have to go through the main entrance

 

[alextheartist]

You can take the people you are with through gd regestration, i went with my bro, his two friends and one of his friends dads last year and only me and the guys dad were entering.

To be honest, i dont think gw give a toss how old you are once you get there and the money is in their pocket.

Just saw this on Bell of Lost Souls. They\'re making a full scale Rhino transport.

And it\'s supposed to be at GDUK.

 

[bodiscool]

well i only got back into the hobby 2 months ago.after 7 years of not painting my first mini is a duel allthough very 1 sided lol
its a termi(kinda chaos) batering a banshee!!
not my best work but im gana enter anyway.
im also working on a gretchin in mega armour
took me a week to sculpt him just started painting him.
if theres gana be a team uk can we have tshirts with a pint on it and i cant be arsed on the back????? lol

 

[darklord]

i have three maybe four entries for my debut.
tom bombadil for lotr
beastman shamen for warhammer single
ork for 40k single
and maybe a rhino for 40k vehicle

not a cat in hell chance of winning but im aiming simply for models im not embarassed about showing (after the PB meet!!)

 

[wingnut]

does anybody know if there is a theme to the art competition this year?

 

[Thecadian]

i think its \'for the emporor\' it can therefore be either 40k or fantasy. Not sure where i read that tho.

 

[Dragon Forge Design]

Well as much as I had hoped I might be able to attend its pretty much doubtful now. The high airfair and sucky dollar means a short 4-5 day trip would cost me well over $2000 to attend..I just cant justify it.

Have fun everyone and good luck.

As long as the parental consent form is signed and with them they are covered should anything go wrong that is the important thing...

yeah I just can justify the $2000 Plus dollars to attend, heck with the crap dollar it cost me almost $70.00 just to walk through the doors.

Chicago Demons is where its at.. come compete with the big boys

Though I may try to make Baltimore next year as its been a while since Ive been there. But Gen Con is also good to.
