Barrage Show from Stafford 2019

Hi all,
        Here are my photographs from the Barrage Wargame show in Stafford.

"If you went, did you enter into the jungle?"

"All sorts of nasties waiting for the unwary."

"Blood Bowl" in the gaming room. I have never played it, but seen a few videos, good fun.

Another match going on. "Will he fall for my cunning plan?"

One of the stalls selling SF Layouts. Lots of goodies.

Another shop display.

Another way to get rid of all that loose change in your pocket.

All budgets catered for.

Spearhead.

"Get stuck in, Lads"

"Which window has the sniper in it?  No beating your hands on the table in anger."

A nice idea here, the vertical cards in the terrain block the line of sight and give a visual representation as well.

"Battlemats at the ready,? Then "Chocs Away!"

40k Battlegrounds now .....

One of the painting competitions.

"You may recognize Mel, the Terrain Tutor Blogger and Author, who I bumped into while we were both taking a break. If you see him at a show, give him a wave. For more details, go to -  http://www.theterraintutor.co.uk/
Highly recommended, well known in the hobby, so if you are stuck on a build, drop him an email or one of his vlogs.

"Thanks to his "Better Half" for taking the photos.

Mel can be found at theterraintutor.co.uk. Enjoy.

That's your lot for pictures.

Personally, I bought some ancient battle rules, a Frostgrave supplement and the Fading Suns core rulebook, some scenery bits and some 15mm figures.

Thanks for a great show everybody.

Review - 15 mm figures from Pendraken Miniatures - Updated

Hi all,
           I recently received an order from Pendraken miniatures. I thought you might like to take a look at their fine wares.

This is the Dwarf Warband Pack contents.

 Here they are in close up.

This is the Dwarf Leader Pack.

This is the Barbarian Leader Pack.

They all arrived in a sturdy padded "Jiffy" bag, roughly four days after my order had been processed. They do state an average of 21 days for delivery. At first glance there seems to be very little "flashing line" metal around the edges to be removed, apart from a tiny spike on each base, which would be easy to accomplish. A mix of nice poses and costumes on the figures, I am looking forward to painting them. Once they are primed the details will stand out much better.

I have ordered from them again.

Update: I now have a set of the Dark Elves, civilians, Terminators and aliens, plus some curved walls as well. I have just given the Dwarf section a coat of gray primer.

Regards all,

Ivor Cogdell
