Salute 2016 – Part I
Saturday, April 16th, a very early morning, i grabbed my flight to London, got on the plane, jumped into the rental after landing and headed for ExCeL London.
At 08:30 in the morning, a solid 1,5 hours prior to opening, there was already a solid queue and quickly, just after 09:00 the queue doubled.
Salute Teaser & Preview
Just booked my flights for Salute. April 16th it is, at ExCel exhibition hall in London. So pack your bags, grab your pounds and get ready to spend some of that quids on plastic, resin and lead.
I will bring my dslr and cover the show for you, but beforehand a few teasers and previews on what we can expect and what i am already excited about.
Armoured Syndicate El Toro
Megaton Games is going to launch Armoured Syndicate later this year, and already had a few models out at last years SPIEL in Essen.
Armoured Syndicate is a postapocalyptic game in 32mm scale, covering wasteland survivors and industrial mechs, that are repurposed for warfare. One of these mechs is El Toro from the Cuervos Muertos faction (spanish for Dead Crows).
Terrain and Star Wars
Aquarium deco pieces are useful if you're looking for something special as a terrain piece. So this buddha statue would be a nice addition for a jungle scenario, like burma, and at 13 Euro quite cheap. So i added a picture with a 28mm miniature, to show the incredible size of that - prepainted - piece.
Crooked Dice Danger 5 for 7TV
Crooked Dice is currently publishing their 2nd edition of 7TV, a skirmish set up in cult tv shows. As such, a title like Danger 5 is way to interesting to say no, so the game design studio set up a themed box with matching miniatures and rules.
Savage Forged Miniatures – Stalker Zed
Savage Forged Miniatures are a german company that offers small series resin casts in 38mm (~ 1:48) and 75mm, along with busts. I met them at Scale Model Challenge 2015 in Eindhoven, and acquired Stalker Zed for a review.
The miniature comes in a blister and is padded with foam. On the back you find a red label with a short notice. The price tag is 8,50 Euro.
More Mars Attacks and Spaniards
Mid of the january we continued our painting projects. Flo on his - now enlarged - Mars Attacks collection, and i continued on the spaniards. I've added a few pilgrims as another 1 point selection to my crusaders. Those are perry miniatures codes CU26 and CU27.
X-Mas Presents a.k.a. 2016 teaser
Wow, what a month! 24 days in a row, lots different content and articles. Hope you enjoyed it as much, as i did writing it.
But i am not quite finished yet, there is more to come next year, after i had a short break. So as a special christmas present, i want to let you in on what's under the tree.
I have a few board games in the queue, among others there is Arcadia Quest, Dead of Winter and Rise of the Kage.
Age of Tyrants Preview
The World of Urban War has a comeback. After a Skirmish with Urban War, and the larger Metropolis, with Age of Tyrants it is about 6mm mass combat.
Myriad Miniatures is in charge of this project, has gathered some well known names around them and got Prodos in for the resin casting, who also support for example Freebooter Miniatures with their Ogre, Armoured Syndicate and others.
Pinterest: Lead Plague, Back of Beyond and Panzerserra
Last few days until christmas, and i want to show some really special blogs from my pinterest board. I hope you guys liked the advent calender so far, and a ready to spend some time with your family and friends, have a rest, and maybe enjoy a game and a cold pint.
First pick is from France, Lead Plague. A pretty cool old school project log, about Rogue Trader and Oldhammer. Some original vintage miniatures, along with conversions of newer ones to fit in with the old vibe. Enjoy the nostalgy.
