Salute Loot 2026 & Blogger Meet up

 

For a change, when I rummaged through my bags of loot I picked up at this years Salute, I was very surprised at how much there was!! (That never usually happens???)

So firstly was my Salute Goody bag, the Saladin figure, some Dwarf figures, some very handy magnetic bases from Warmag and another base, I've not really delved into what it is yet?

And in no particular order...

From Products For Wargamers, two large ponds, a small pond and some counters.

All of these will be snowified, for the Retreat from Moscow and the Winter War.

A mix of figures for Jason and the Argonauts, from Wargames Foundry, Crooked Dice and Fenris. From Warlord, some Bolt Action dice, (£18 for dice!!, my heart bleeds!) and artillery markers and some free Konflikt 49 sprues. Paints from Sheppey Models and 15mm Ottoman tents form Debris of War.

The Campaign Book, Chronicles of Midgard

I've got the rules already and am seriously thinking about buying 2 armies to paint up!

Hmm???

Stream/River sections from The Last Valley and a few bridges, once again these will snowified!

And finally I picked up a pre-order of some magnetic bases from Warbases and a strip of  Green Stuff!!

So this lot should keep me bust for the foreseeable future, especially if you add all the other stuff I have in my leadpile.

And lastly a rather small Blogger Meet up was held at 1 o'clock, which was a shame, but thanks to all the guys who made it.

Matt, Andy, Carl, Lee, Postie, Steve, Mike, me and Reject Dave

See you all at Salute 54!!!!

Warfare 2023 Loot

 

I had quite a successful spending spree at Warfare, once again I hadn't planned on spending much but......

Products for Wargaming had some very nice field bases. I was planning on making my own, but it was easier buying them. I went for 1 x 15x8 field, 2 x 12x6 and 2 x 6x4's.

They were £8, £6 and £4, so a bargain!

2 buildings from Warbases

5 small cobblestone mats from Deepcut Studio

These can be used in any of my 25/28mm periods.

A few paints.....from Sheppey Models

You can never have enough Oxen can you?  These Black Tree figures were in the bargain bin from 

Mill-Art

Can't remember who I bought these from, these will be used to make some 2mm woods and forests.

An impulse buy from Charlie Foxtrot, some 28mm walling for my Haitian Revolution project.

Back to Products for Wargaming. Another building, this one is from their luvvly medieval range.

If Iron Gate Scenery are at a show, I have to get something from them. Their range of bits and bobs are brilliant. This time round it was some Highland cattle, a tannery, perfect for some Native American's and a stone sheep pen.

Lastly more Highland Cattle, these 2 were from Disdain Studios, why do I need more 

Highland Cattle, you ask?

Well.....why not?
