Had a great day at crisis 2019 past saturday! Show was great and having won an early bird ticket i was able to get first pick at the bring and sell! Was a pretty busy show at times, and have seen some great games. One that i liked was this battlegroup game by ‘de witte ridder’ with lots of nicely painted tanks!

brought home lots of goodies!

My main interests were starting two opposing armies for sharp practice. Theatre will be the peninsular war. So first buy was the rulebook and movement trays!

Miniature wise i had pre ordered a bunch of metal minis from perry miniatures and eagle figures, and i bought some napoleonic highlanders from the bring and sell, and french troops from Dave Thomas. both made by victrix. This should give me plenty models to put an army togheter.

With that out of the way, i went and looked at picking up some scenery stuff. As last year, my first stop was emperor toad’s emporium, where i picked up a little farm with fences/hedges and some random bits form his clearance section. I also bought a pack of mdf ruins for mordheim from pworks and some goats from warbases for a ‘steal the cattle’ scenario we have played earlier this year. It makes for a great game, so i thought i’d upgrade my counters to real animals!

The bring and sell got me all of the missing ‘show exclusive’ models i was missing (pictured togheter with this year’s show exclusive minis), and some rather nice bretonnian knights!

A wargames show is nothing if you don’t have a rather big impulse buy , so for me this came in the form of fireforge boxes! Got their albion knights, foot sergeants and foot knights, to add to my bretonnian force!

I was also able to get an order from pendraken miniatures, even though they no longer attend the show. I could pick it up from eagle figures. In it there were a bunch of hobby supplies like paints, specific coloured dice, dice frames and bases, but also some 10 mm goodness in the form of landing craft for Blitzkrieg commander, some sherman dd’s and a couple of churchill tanks. Also included are some naval crew and oerlikons top put on the craft!

For my bolt action forces i got a stug and airborne and heer medium mortars. It’s a slow project, but every now and then i pick up a few pieces, so the armies are constantly getting bigger!

Last one is a bit of a bummer . I found some walking dead all out war boosters, who looked just like standard english boosters. Upon getting home it appeared they had all french cards in them (and one didn’t even have any cards). Well, at least the minis are nice!

I have been busy sunday and yesterday in getting it all built as fast as i can, and have since prepped and based all of the metals, and assembled the tank as a stuH 42

Still, lots to do, but very fun times for the moment! Nothing beats a big hobby shopping spree!
