BOYL 2019....I finally made it! (Pic Heavy)

(Note: this is in no way a comprehensive description of the events going on at Foundry and Warhammer World over the weekend...If I failed to mention you or your wonderful game I apologize...no slight intended...you know I love you all!!! :) )

Well...Its a festivus Miracle!!  I've finally found a way to attend a Bring Out Your Lead (BOYL) event!!  BOYL was the first and is largest of the purely Oldhammer events that happens every year.  It was first held in 2012....and every year since then I have been dissapointed to NOT be able to attend.

...But that all changed this year!  Due to some unexpected life changes in the Blue household the opportunity presented it self and I jumped at the option to attend.  This decision was made rather last minute (2 weeks before the event) but I was able to get a reasonably priced ticket and impose upon my friends Airborne Grove and Bulldog Lopez for transportation and a place to crash.

My BOYL experience actually started at Warhammer World were I joined a number of other Oldhammer compatriots for fantastic Rogue trader Realms of Chaos Warband Rumble...hosted by Colin.

Terminator Squad...Action Shots

Well, you've seen the studio Shots of my newly painted Terminator Squad...but what do they look like in the field?  

...Well that is what this post is about...as well as a few WIP shots of the painting process which I will post at the end.

Terminator Squad 1...Studio Shots

Hi all!

I'm happy to report that I have finally completed a squad of RT terminators for use with Space Hulk.  I traded with the Mighty Brian K many months ago to acquire a First Edition of Space Hulk...and While I have messed around with the game using unpainted minis ...I now (finally) have a painted squad of Marines ready to go.

As with my other RT Imperial forces I've chosen an unusual color scheme.  I felt like painting my termies in one of the colors of an established chapter brought along all sorts of fluff  and "baggage" that I didn't really care to get into...or care about. So I opted for a somewhat generic chapter for now with a unique color scheme and NO preconceived "Meta baggage."  I may go back in the future to add chapter symbols and develop a name and some fluff for my "chapter" but for now I'm excited to be able to play a couple of games of Space Hulk with some painted figures.

As for color scheme...I've always loved the Quartered color scheme of the Howling Griffons...but the idea of painting that much yellow was unappealing...and in the end I picked the quartered pattern but chose to use Blue and Orange instead.
