Blood on the BOYL

Matthew Street was a friend and a sociable old grognard who made and maintained exceedingly strong friendships within the Oldhammer Community. Matthew tragically passed away in August 2025.

For years he'd hoped to run the Warhammer 2nd edition scenario "Blood on the Snow" from White Dwarf #91 at BOYL.

Blood on the Snow

Matthew can explain this far better than I ever could so below are some links to his blog detailing the progress he'd made:




As he will never see this come to light some of his friends have decided to honour him by finishing what he started. The scenario will be run at this year's BOYL and in order to make this happen we've taken on the task of painting up the miniatures he'd assembled to take part in the scenario. These armies, along with the rest of his collection, will be raffled and/or auctioned off afterwards, the proceeds going to his partner and family. This patch work of painting styles will create a slightly disjointed collection but we hope shows the love and respect we have for him that we want to make this dream come true.

For my part I've painted up 10 Dwarf crossbowmen, half of a unit of allied Imperial Dwarfs to the main Norse Dwarf army.


Matthew was a very talented artist, a lot of his work can be found scattered over many Warmaster and Oldhammer projects. This is a piece her presented me with for my 40th Birthday. It's me as a Nordland Halberdier (my Empire province of choice) and has appeared in several publications I believe. 


I miss you Matthew, Rest in Peace

  1. A worthy venture. I knew Matthew, but not that well, and I wish I'd been able to get to know him a lot better. Such a wicked sense of humour and taking down political opponents with his sharp wit. I look forward to seeing this project come to fruition, I'm sure he'd have loved it.

    1. Thank you, I may not be posting much more on it on my blog but many others will post up their contributions across the many social media mediums people use for delivering their Oldhammer goodness.

  2. DR WALE I want to appreciate you for all the good things you did for my family. My parents have been having issues settling themselves, but nothing seems to be working for them. they separated and that gave us the children's some much harder time. We want to see our both parents back together, so we had to contact DR WALE because DR WALE was the man that helped my sister to settle in her marriage when she had an issue with her husband. So, we contacted DR WALE to see if he can bring our parents together. When we reached out to him, He asked us how long our parents have been separated. We told him for SIX years. He said that isn't a problem. After everything was done. We discovered that it was our mother's best friend that did everything to see that our parents weren't together. But all thanks to DR WALE our parents are finally back together. We are united as one big family now. If your parents are divorce and you want them back together DR WALE is the best man to contact.
