It seemed a little quieter than usual, maybe that was just because I was earlier than usual. The organisers pride themselves on still running a Bring And Buy. This was very busy, though I didn't see anything that quite called to me.
I looked at various manufacturers 15mm figures with a view to using them with my 15mm KoW, but all the new stuff, nice though it is, is noticeably larger than the old Essex stuff I already have.
I had a good chat with the chap behind Too Much Lead about bargains and the unfortunate attitude of some members of the hobby. He was running a very nice looking Dragon Rampant game. Having seen him collecting the forces on his blog, it was almost like meeting an old friend.
I particularly liked his giants (details on them here). They look even better in life.
So what was my haul? Not much actually. A resin cross for Blood Eagle and similar
Dark Age games from Ainstey Castings. Two piles of crates and other items from Skytrex (very nicely detailed, these). A metal Reaper Miniatures bear (second hand, or should that be paw?) and a pack of dogs and another of wolves from Warbases, great for Frostgrave.

Not to much of a spend, but al looks very useful.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. My shopping list was notable mostly for what I couldn't get (15mm stuff, old GW barbarian etc) but it was still fun to look round what was my only show of 2017.
