Battle Brothers!

Last weekend was Battle Brothers! Finally after all the preparation and thousands of miles of driving it had come! Literally 5 hours prior to our arrival at Warhammer World I had been in Norway so this weekend was sponsored by energy drinks and geek excitement.

(Obviously)

My partner was fellow comedian Marcus Gill who is such a lovely guy I almost married him. I wanted to take pictures of all the games and write up battle reports but as the timing was tight I didn't as it would have been a bit of a pain for all involved. The games were fantastic (except one sneaky cheating Chaos Dwarf team who cheated sneakily). As we were all using End Times magic it became a much more influential factor and actually was really fun.  

(Fun)

 But the event wasn't just about gaming there was also a great painting competition (which I entered) that was to an incredible standard. I only took a picture of my entry on the shelf, the speed painted Treeman Faeddril, but the level was just amazing and the dragon that won in the end was just lovely.

As we were at Warhammer World it would be crazy not to take a tour of the miniatures gallery and it was well worth the entry fee. Some lovely individual figures but also insanely detailed dioramas in a scale that most normal gamers could only dream of.

Marcus and I met up with the team from Tyrants Tavern who all come from near me and I have to say I haven't met a nicer group of hobbyists. It really made the weekend special and I'd really like to thank Josh Hall, James Bibb, Scott Williams, Sam Wegrzynowski, Dan Parker and Jason Butler for being fantastic people.

Finally, as it was the weekend before my birthday and I had some spending money, I got myself a little treat. Ladies and Gentlemen let me introduce you to the newest edition to my Wood Elf force. The monstrous GRex!

As you can see I've already stuck him together and got the base ready so hopefully I'll have him all painted ready for the Tyrant's Tournament on June 28th!
