A few new things

 Hi!

Over the last two months I've been to Salute 2025, Campaign 2025 and UK Games Expo 2025. Needless to say I picked up a few items. Not as many as I used to because I'm trying to pace myself better than I used to and keep the unpainted figures down.

As I said previously, with more 28mm terrain pieces I thought I'd buy some W2 figures for that scale and got the German Blitzkrieg platoon box. Warlord tried to tempt me to get the army, about £70 difference, but I held my ground. Platoon first, everything else later.

Currently on the paint table

Weeks later I was a bit annoyed that the early British didn't have a similar set. I was told on reddit that Wargames Atlantic had what I was looking for. So I bought a box from Amazon.

As with my 6mm WW2 British and German armies I'm starting with basic building block of the infantry platoon. At some stage, I will likely get support units, mortars and medium/heavy machineguns. And officers.

At Salute I also bought some tokens form Warbases; shaken, rout and disordered.

I've finished those and also done some blanks (25mm mdf bases I didn't use for other figures as I generally use Renedra flat bases) ready for pin markers.

At Games Expo I succumbed to buying the Bolt Action 3rd ed. I really wasn't going to buy it, but the 1st ed. is in the US. It came with a free figure of which I have zero use for, it being a an American.

and some civilians for Five Parsecs from Home

Well, you can't have too many civilians can you.

I'm actually a bit slow painting the Germans. I'd be finished by now if they were for any other game. I blame the plastic.

Until the next time
