Loki:

As i am sure most of you know Games day is fast approaching us here in the UK with adds for tickets starting to appear in White Dwarf, I am planning on making this Games Day one a Big Hat one :hat. That�?Ts right i am going to be wearing a Big Hat for the day in a hope to draw some attention towards us and our breaded brothers and sisters ,  

my entry for golden daemon is also going to be a big hat which i need some help and advice on painting and modelling for ( thread to come shortly ) as i really want to make it eye catching and show people that CDs are still out there and that we are not going any where.

I also thought it would be a good chance if any other members form CDO where going that we could meet up some where in the vast halls and get to know the person behind the avatar a bit better .  

This is my big hat its still very much a wip, the Taurus is for size comparison

Sorry to be off topic, but I just had an idea from seeing your hat: making life sized, wearable hats would be a great Golden Hat theme… Or Artisan theme… Just sayin’

you could get a few of the hacidic payis costume beards and a

14" beard and have your girlfriend/significant girl other, and have her help you put it into a ringlet set and use lots of hairspray to keep it in place.

or even this rabbi costume might work

the second link (rabbi) appears to be a beard and hat… you might want to ask them on that… as that beard looks perfect, if a bit short.

The only people happlier than us to see you wearing that big hat will be the good people at chiropractors.org

GRNDL:

Oddly, I have given thought to going, but haven’t quite committed yet

Although the prospect of running into Warplock is something I would prefer to avoid.

@two_heads_talking , great find with the beards i like the 14" one alot will have to look at getting that  :)

@WarplockMonkey, great to hear that you going if you see some one moving in the crowd with a huge bucket on his head that will be me so come on over and say hi, i am entering golden daemon with a big hat model as well so you might see me in the line waiting to get in if your also entering.

@ Wallacer, lol luckily its only made of plastic so my neck should not be to bad by the end of the day, but saying that i am thinking of using it as overflow storage but only it i buy lots of stuff and my bag get full and my hobgoblin pack mauls get weighted down with to much stuff, next year i think its a bull centaur, only problem i need some one to play the rear end any takers ? :slight_smile:

@ Grndal, Would be great if you do decide to come over i think the uk one is one of the best ones out there :slight_smile:

Supposedly everything from Skaven models and the army book, to Codex Space Wolves, and some more hidden bits here and there will be scattered around at this years UK GD. Take tons of pictures, especially if you happen to be walking by a model cabinet!

Adventures at the UK GD might make a nice review for the Word of Hashut.
