Technik-Museum Speyer
Two weeks ago, i had a work-related journey to the Technik-Museum in Speyer, Rhineland Palatine.
Dead of Winter, a board game and theme for Bolt Action
Last weekend, we used one of the last remaining weekends in Coblenz for another painting-get-together.
Bolt Action M8 Greyhound / M20 Scout Car
Before the Sherman Firefly and Churchill will pop up in the novelties for Bolt Action, i'll take a look at the M8/M20 Scout Car by Warlord Games.
Rubicon Models M8 Scott
Plastic is more and more present in wargaming, and with the popularity of the setting and scale, it is no wonder that companies like Rubicon keep releasing new kits. This time, i'll be covering the M8 Scott / M5A1.
Heer46 Panther F Schmalturm
As Heer46 announced, that they will expand their range from 15mm / 1:100 into the 28mm / 1:56 scale, i was really, really excited. After the SdKfz 247b, one of the latest novelties is the Panther F Schmalturm.
Bergepanzer and Sherman ARV
Model builders in 1:35 or other scales have a lot of options and conversion kits to chose from, something that is rather rare in 1:56 / 28mm. After looking for it for a while now, I found a few kits and sets at S&S model shop.
The kits work with plastic kits from Rubicon or Warlord Games, and I bought a few sets, among them an ARV set for a sherman and the Bergepanzer III set for a PzKpfw III.
Bolt Action Fallschirmjäger
Among the latest plastic kits for Bolt Action are the German Fallschirmjäger (Paratroopers) by Warlord Games.
Salute 2016 haul
So I've completed my four part coverage on the Salute, and here is my personal conclusion and "haul" from the event.
The South London Warlords put a lot of effort into the "Swag bag" and the show in general. So along with the ticket, you receive the limited miniature by Westwind Miniatures and a few freebies, in this case a sprue from Maelstrom's Edge. At the info desk you could stock up on older event stock, like badges, t-shirts, dice and miniatures. I used the chance, got last years miniature by the perrys, the D-Day anniversary shirt, along with older events dice and badges.
Salute 2016 – Part IV
A special highlight for the last part. What kind of a show would it be, without the Perrys? They were there themself, with a wide stand only covering their plastic sets (Dave Thomas takes care of their blisters at show - who was at Salute as well). The novelties were anglo-centric with the Cape Frontier Wars.
Right next to the Perrys were Renedra, who take care of the production of plastic kits for half the wargaming business. It was great meeting the family behind the company, so lovely people. They showed the new castle / tower kit, and it was selling like hotcakes. No wonder for me, look how impressive it is.
Salute 2016 – Part III
Among the most prominent wargaming companies is Mantic for sure. The colourful stand was crowded and the deadzone table caught my eye. And then there was this enormous Kings of War battle going on - it was so incredibly huge. Simply insane.
