Painting desk

Hi!

I haven't been idle this last couple of weeks.

After Salute I ambled along with the painting. Days out and about slowed things down but it was a lethargic period that held me up.

But, here are the finished products of that painting spell. Bar finishing the cart and basing the crows.

The three horses without riders is because I likely left them behind in Sarasota. They can do for riders being gunned down for now.

A very mixed bag. Bad Squiddo (kickstarter women), Wargames Foundry (cart), Crooked Dice, Blue Moon (US cavalry). Unfortunately I don't know where my son bought the 16thc soldiers and priest from. They look old school but nice to use in the witches game.

Salute

 Hi!

Just a couple of pictures of the two set-ups I liked best:

First:

One of the first in and off I trot to the Crooked Dice stand!

That isn't to detract from the many other excellent set-ups, and there were many, but these I liked the best.

Salute

 Hi!

Salute 53

Saturday the 11th April was Salute wargame show at the Excel exhibition centre in London.

The layout was much the same as previous years. A tried and tested formula that works. There were a few bottlenecks in places but overall it was fine and people could skirt around and come back later to those games/stands.

I had ordered two Sarissa Precision buildings from Warlord Games:-

which I picked up eventually. I'm glad I did as they were weighty objects!

They will go with these I ordered before my travel to Florida.

That ups the buildings for my town very nicely.

My first port of call was Crooked Dice Games were I bought:

The two wheeled cart is From Foundry Miniatures.

Of course the figures will be for 7TV games and are sure to have other uses.

From there it was casual browsing and looking at all the games going on.

Until I saw these and bought two mats with these roads for 10mm games (really I'll use them for my 6mm games) and they look useful as dirt tracks for larger scales. That was something I noticed after putting them on my table were the Bolt Action game was in its dying embers.

Thanks' for dropping by.
