Foundry have announced the date for this year’s Bring Out Your Lead.
Described on the Foundry website as as ‘a celebration of all things Oldhammer’, Bring Out Your Lead (otherwise known as BOYL) is an annual event held at Foundry’s headquarters. It features hoary old games such as old school Warhammer Fantasy Battles and Warhammer 40k, Dark Future and more. The Foundry shop will also be open, and that means you get to ogle the display cabinets full of not only Foundry’ fabulous catalogue of miniatures, but also some beautiful old school gems (see my photos from previous BOYLs by way of illustration).
Bring Out Your Dead will take place at Foundry’s headquarters at Carriage Court, Newark on Friday 8th August—Sunday 10th August 2025. However, Foundry are currently looking for new premises, so I suspect the venue may be subject to change.
See the Bring Out Your Lead website for more details.

![A shadowy, monochromatic image features a hand pressed against a translucent surface, creating an eerie and unsettling effect. The title "THE [ ] OBSCURE FILES" is prominently displayed at the top, with the text "FUNDED IN 3 HOURS" and "FOUND-FOOTAGE INSPIRED 1997" at the bottom, emphasizing the horror theme. The overall composition evokes a sense of suspense and mystery, fitting for a survival horror tabletop RPG.](https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/PvC_7F2D6UdEuPTooZZ2x5rQyjQ%3D/400x530/filters:format(webp):focal(220x236:915x354):no_upscale()/socialpost/a0cb5962-13cf-46b0-83a4-259fea827880/images/the-obscure-files-header.jpg)
