Warfare loot.

Yesterday I made the shortish trip to Reading for the Warfare show. I left at 9.10 and was there in 35 minutes. The drive was pleasurable through the country lanes of south Oxfordshire and Berkshire. 
When I arrived I parked easily and sat for 5 minutes or so before finding the parking pay machines. Ye god's what a rigmarole. There were only two machines by reception, one of which was not working, and a tablet type unit which the operator was having a few issues with. A long queue was forming before me and was a lot longer by the time I got in. But after that the show was it's usual pleasant self. There were some great looking games on show and a great mix of traders. 
I managed to spend 5 hours there and as usual enjoyed my day out.  The only downside really was the fact that I didn't sell the two FOW box sets I took to the bring and buy. eBay for those then.

As for the loot - a bit of a mix with no big spends. Just a lot of bits and pieces.



From the top left is a reaper bones Dragon Tortoise. A PSC box of 15mm Stuart Honeys. A pack of 2 warbases 15mm ore tanks . Below that are various accessories, MDF bases ,tufts and some paints. Also is a 15mm neo Assyrian chariot from Magister Militum (hopefully that'll complete the army) and a few packs of GZG Kra'Vaks, all new releases. Finally there is an MDF 20mm container kit from Blotz. Not sure on the scale as I wanted it for 15mm sci-fi. I see how it compares when it's made up.

I've been painting on and off for the past month on a couple of projects but haven't taken any pics. As I'm off this week I hope to catch up with that and put a few posts on here.

Thanks for stopping by.

    Those parking machines are a stupid idea. Warfare used to be a favourite show of mine. Now it all seems like a bit of a battle in itself. I thought there were more people attending this year. The lighting seems to give me a headache. I may give it a miss next year.

      The show is still up there for me but the venue looks dated now and the carpark is an issue.

    Your haul makes me miss UK shows. I've been to a few US shows now and the trade scene is nowhere near as good as at the UK shows and I rarely come home with anything.

      We seem to be lucky with the amount of shows we have here. There are 4 small to medium shows locally (within an hour's drive) and I try to go to three of them finances permitting.

    Great to be able to visit a nice venue so close to you, not to mention the scenic route. Attending local cons and game days can be quite invigorating.

      I have four small to medium shows within an hour's drive and I spend most of my time looking at the trade stands. Need to try a game or two really.
