Matthew Street and the Tale of OWAC Dwarf Failure (continued)

I think we've been here before.

"Street will upset someone...Street will combine short vowels and harsh consonants into swear-words which aren't suitable for Oldhammer under-fourteens and make them cry...Street will paint a banner of a politician with bad hair in keeping with Oldhammer's tradition of political satire that will be reported by grown-up babies as hate-speech when he forgets to snowflake pixelate it..."

But hey, no-one can argue that any of that stuff won't be fun.

Covid has caused us all a lot of upheaval over the last 2 years. The same nonsense I had last year is the same I have this. We are still not in a new house and we are still cooped up in our old place with half of my stuff either in the new place or in storage.

So last year I tried to get a whole bunch of my pre-slotta dwarfs painted for the OWAC. 

It didn't work out quite the way I planned. 

Mainly because I didn't read the rules properly and spent my wildcard month painting up a rather large addition to my baggage train, not realising that this was my rest month.

So anyway...Puff and Slash will be the first order of the day.

Sgt. Borri McCockinner and the Longpoles

How about something smaller:

I'm looking at many of the units I failed to even prep last year.

Just to make it a proper challenge I haven't even assembled anything yet. everything is still in bits, untrimmed, unfiled.

Every unit needs at least a bit of conversion including all the banner poles.

Brilliant. 

"THE BLACK BAND"

x21 Hammerers. Puff and Slash Two-Handed Swordsmen.

x10 Crossbows. The second ten of the "Flash Harrys".

x20 Elite Marauder Dwarfs. 

(Possibly) x20 of the long promised Wayne England tribute unit.

x4 Command. Chopping up that standard bearer so I can get a bigger banner pole in that hand. Those who know - know where those helmet wings are going.

(Or possibly) x20-40 Norse Dwarfs. Selected out of these.

Hoping to make it to the end this year even if it's just 40 rank & file and the command.

I don't need to make a lead offering to the overlord as I offer lots and lots of money in the form of artwork prizes. If you get me it means you didn't win. So there.

Stonewall Street is a failed Rock Star; failed professional footballer; failed professional cricketer; failed comic book artist; failed artist; failed poet; failed author; below average miniature painter; failed actress; reasonably decent management accountant and all-round Facebook agitator. He lives in the shadow of Heathrow's north runway in a slum that real estate agents describe as "vibrant". Last year he added "failed OWAC Challenger to that list. If his parents loved him they'd make better voting choices.

All the best everyone.
