Welcome to MadMcGobbo.com, personal homepage of Simon Parr aka Mad McGobbo. This is a site in regards to wargaming and miniature painting.
I don’t often get around to painting but I do try, there will always be sporadic updates from me, but I will always keep the site up and running.
I am in no way affiliated with Games Workshop, just to make that clear!
Not that they would want to affiliate with someone like me…

Finally seem to have recovered from UK Games Expo! I'd like to thank everyone who stopped by and said "hello!".
I'd also like to thank Gill Pearce for having me on her stall, my friend Yetie for convincing me that Friday was a go as a punter as well as driving myself, Gill and my cousin Darren to Expo following Darren's illness.
It was a fantastic event run by a great team, and I've got a rather small (haha!) dragon to paint (roughly has a 54 cm wing span) for Richard Denning one of the main heads of the Expo. Pictures will follow soon for that.
I also got a large haul of stuff, including :
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4ed kindly signed on the cover by Ralph Horsley as well as having a small sketch inside by him too,
Blood Bowl Almanac
Kal Jerico and Scabs 2019
Necromunda Orlock weapons set 1
Necromunda Underhive Anthology novel (prerelease)
Mantic Deadzone Escalation Protocols
Deadzone cards
A new wallet from SheBlackDragon
I think that's all of it!
I also made a few new contacts and caught up with a friend I hadn't seen in 16 years!
Sorry for the long post! I'll be back home on Sunday and will be back to painting.
Thanks for reading!

UK Games Expo 2019 was exhausting but very rewarding.
Had a go with the brand new Citadel Contrast paints and was pleased with how they work, they will be a good tool for experienced painters as well as a great start for beginners.
When I recover from the con I'll post up what I picked up and big thanks to folks.
Cheers again!
