As someone who sometimes tables at artist alleys and does live watercolor paintings for people- I can tell you he was probably having a BLAST. It is so fun and energizing to be creative around a lively but enthused and respectful group. I wish I could watch him work a little and ask a few questions about his tools and techniques. What a cool opportunity for attendees!

It's true that new Warhammer is lacking that weird, whimsical side that made the original games so attractive. Those old minis may not be as slick as the new releases, but they make up for that in character, humour and downright oddness. It looked like such a glorious time super Suggs and you've captured the excitement of BOYL so well. I'm down for next year now!

Nothing beats hand sculpted minis by a named sculptor with a distinct and recognisable style. You don't need to be told a Kev Adams, Gary Morley, Trish-not-Morrison-anymore, or Perry sculpt is what it is. The personality of the sculptor shines through.

Yeah, I really miss the quirky offbeat style of those vintage greenskins that look like they crawled out of a Brian Froud illustration, or the utterly unhinged early Chaos stuff. Plus the satirical edge of Rogue Trader-era 40K, where the influence of 2000AD was very apparent. Everything's a lot more uniform and consistent these days, which is good if you like that sort of thing I suppose.

Oldhammer is the best hammer!

I haven't seen John Blanche in years, makes me realise how much we have changed, kinda feeling old now tbh, I remember him being a young, dark haired biker looking dude, but oddly clean shaven back in the day, he would often turn up at new store openings, or events, I get the impression he didn't like the direction GW took after Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone sold it, Its great to see him back in his favourite environment, it seems like BOYL islike the old GW, where it was about the hobby being for hobbyists, not shareholders, and being as creative and expressive, and artistic as you want to be, it was Johns odd inquisition and mechanicus models, which were always heavily converted, and his use of oil paints, especially in washes, that inspired my entire painting and modelling style, even to this day.

Old metal minis were accessible in ways that modern stuff just can't match. As proven in this video, a talented group could sculpt and cast minis for sale in a very short period of time with minimal equipment. This made them cheap to buy and allowed the designers a lot of room for whimsy, so all sorts of silliness made it to the market. 3D printing is allowing for a bit of a renaissance of this, though not so much for the young hobbyist. Most 12 year olds can't just buy and run a 3D printer, but they could buy a lead mini from a shop with pocket money back in the day. Late 80's early 90's were such a golden age of fantastic minis that were really affordable, even for a young, mostly broke me.

Wow, John Blanche! He is such a legend. His art is so good! I find it suprising that his artwork wasn't used more often for metal covers. I only know that Sabbat and Bolt Thrower used it once or twice.

Was such a rad event - your squats and my thugs combined to do absolutely NOTHING against Conkerer. Here's to next year!

Cool to see, that the original spirit of warhammer is still kept alive through cool events and nice people!

The enthusiasm is priceless

Big events tend to be about drumming up business (creating hype for new product). It seems this event was more about the joy and love of gaming (i.e. why we got into this hobby in the first place). Both have their place. The nostalgia of playing older games can bring back the delight of being 'fresh' in the hobby. Seeing new releases can inspire you to keep going. I'm glad you had a wonderful birthday, and hope it inspires you to keep doing what you're doing... :)

so. much. charm. Old school minis have a vibe that just cant be matched. Awesome vid :D

A whole event celebrating that most precious of metals!? I must learn more! Oh wow, what a cool day that must have been. Those GW artists and sculptors were the heart and soul of the my love affair with old Warhammer. ❤️ Kindred spirits, 👍

Was nice to be in your company so glad you enjoyed it Tony Y

I'm repainting my old metal 2nd 40k Cadians and it's just great to see that older warhammer models and games are not forgotten.

And an exquisite bolt-thrower t-shirt as well in the video!!!! couldnt be better

Fully understand what you mean. Modern Warhammer feels as though it is aimed towards perfectly painted miniatures that have to be painted a specific way and you can only build them a specific way otherwise they are illegal and you can’t put a certain weapon on a certain model. The reason I fell in love with it originally was because i could spend my Saturdays at my local store painting something however I wanted. Games were wacky and not serious. I miss those times

Nice to see someone enjoying themselves so much with the simple things in life 😊 You don’t need the latest and greatest expensive stuff to have a great time 👍

What an awesome event - your bubbly personality and infectious enthusiasm made your coverage so much better. Next year, I’d love to see a much longer video of the event and coverage of games -(although I know this would be a lot of work and your enjoyment of such a fun event would suffer, so forget that idea). This video seemed like it only lasted a couple of minutes, so I watched it several times and thoroughly enjoyed each one - great work. I still have my original Space Marines, Orcs and Gretchen from more than 20 years ago and they are still engaging in skirmishes in my retirement (although its getting harder to find games for “Old” Warhammer these days). Love your work 👍😃🇦🇺

That honestly sounds like a very nice and just the kind on event that the hobby needs. Glad to hear that those exist, even if they exist on a distant rain soaked island.

I love Oldhammer and this is my hometown, how did I never hear about this before? Will definitely be attending this year! Thanks for letting me know about it!

This event seems lovely. It's how I would imagine a wargames event would be held in the shire

There is so much that is just genuine about your videos and your love and enjoyment of the hobby. Thank you for sharing this event, never knew it existed and I’m so happy that you were to just go and have fun. Have an amazing weekend! 😁 #RoguesRule

That is so cool, was down that way for the motogp that weekend and stopped by WW on the way back up home on Monday but this seems like a much more fun Saturday than being soaked and freezing watching motorbikes. It makes me glad people can live vicariously through youtube and learn about cool new things, maybe next year.

That sounds like an amazing time, would love to have an event like that Stateside. Especially if they had something for old GW, Ral Partha, and Grenadier stuff.

I remember seeing Warhammer for the first time in the 80s. Must have been the first ever edition. I also saw the fantasy game. I thought it was adorable but didn't give it much thought. All these years later and I paint armies and enjoy Space Marines and your nostalgic trip made you feel all warm and happy. And that is the entire point of it all. You had this giant smile constantly.

Ooh. I spy squiddo-Annie. She's aces. Glad it was fun 💜

The name of the convention is a play on the "Bring out your dead!" caller from Month Python and the Holy Grail.

Wonderful. A convention of gamers by and for gamers. Also, makes me feel good as and 'old guy' who still loves many of those old sculpts. Seeing people who appreciate them warms the cockles of my heart!

Having been involved with miniatures since the early 90's, having gone to local cons for years, and been part of a gaming group a long time that played whatever silly fun games that came along, and been removed from that environment, I really miss it. The local con died. Our gaming group broke up and moved due to life and other reasons. And most miniatures people I meet these days are very serious, meta driven, tournament folks. That's all well and good. But I miss the beer and pretzels sort of gaming and hobbying I used to be involved in. Fun stuff for fun's sake. I'd love to go to BOYL one day. From all I have seen it's the sort of environment that I miss. Traveling to the UK is not an option for me right now though. Thank you for sharing this. It made me smile to see people doing stuff like this and having an amazing time even though they're just in a big tent in a rain storm.

This whole event looks so incredible, kicking myself for only hearing about it ONLY after it had ended 😅 I'm absolutely going to keep an eye out for BOYL 2024!

It seems like I've been waiting all my life for this channel. Thank you for this awesome content

Having collected rogue trader and 2nd ed tyranids for the past 15 years, it frustrates me immensely that I live in Australia and BOYL is in the UK. Totally jealous of you and everyone else that manages to get along each year.

I recently dug out my 2nd Edition Eldar Warhost to repaint after having been in storage for nearly 25 years. Found some metal Imperial Guard, included Rogue Trader era troopers. This video and your genuine enthusiasm perfectly captures that same feeling of rediscovered joy. Thank you.

I'd never even heard of BOYL before seeing your video, Louise, but it looks like heaven on earth! I get so nostalgic for old, metal minis from Games Workshop. It takes me back to my 16th birthday in 1998, when I went and bought Gary Morley's original Nagash sculpt, then raced home to paint it. I hope to meet the legend himself one day, and thank him for creating an Undead range with so much character (and, dare I say it, humor!). Thank you for sharing your endearing geekiness, enthusiasm, and warmth for these weird, whimsical old miniatures, Louise! It's comforting to know that there are others out there who feel the same as I do about them!

Sounds like a vision of heaven. What a magical time

That's the power of conventions and other community events! As sheltered nerds that used to have to hide our hobbies, it's awesome for us to have a space to connect with others like us. It's really fulfilling.

Fab video, it's lovely to see what you all got up to and I think I might come along next year!

Seeing all those old hammer has brought back so many memories for this old long fang. That original realm of chaos art so jealous you saw it

You manage to make the grim darkness of the far future cozy and warm. Love your videos!

OMG, the large genestealer on the throne, memories came flooding back of when my older brother was into it all!.

Your excitement and delight really, really made this video a great mood elevator. Infectious enthusiasm FTW!

Was lovely to see you there, thanks for saying hello on your walk around. Sorry I didn't get a chance to come and chat, but I was very enthralled by my own game of 2nd Ed 40k. I have to agree that Bring Out Your Lead is my favourite gaming event currently. Just such a good balance of nice people who all love the same ideals, even if everyone is playing different games it seems to have a really strong ethos of creativity and fun. This year was my second time there, I hope it'll be back and better in a new venue next year. Glad you had such a great birthday! 😃

What a great video, I’m away from the hobby for years but thinking about dipping my toe back in, to see somebody so young and passionate enjoying the stuff I grew up with is wonderful. Might go away and dig out my paint brushes. Thank you.

It was nice to meet you at BOYL, and I am glad you enjoyed the event. Every year, my love for games and models is rekindled by the community's hospitality, generosity and creativity, and it seems you felt the same way, which is what it's all about!

Thank you for being yourself and making me dig through my cupboard for my oldest minis and want to paint them again, I came here as a scale modeller and artist and ex war gamer and mini painter and leave here enthused to get mini again.

Sorry but the Snotling see-saw is bloody adorable! In my head after a life of being kicked around by orks, grots get to go to grot heaven that is just a massive kids playground with swings, see-saws, huge slides and a round about. Honestly, I might have to travel up north to get one.

Man this induced a time warp back to the late 80s!!! Seeing Epic being played, my first GW game. The cabinets of figures brought a tear to my eye with so many fond memories of what I could see in there. The old Slayers, the Snotling Pump wagon, Genestealer Cultists. Yeah, I'm 57!!
