Hammerhead

Yesterday Dave, the ladies and myself made the trip to Newark, we duly dropped the ladies off in Newark and then proceeded to the showground. We arrived a little after 10.30 already the show was heaving with eager punters.

I spent the first fifteen minutes collecting my pre-orders and picking up stuff off my list. I then went over to Dave Stone's table where he was running a small game to show case his upcoming WWI rules Zero Hour to be published via Gripping Beast later in the year. I watched while he played through a couple of turns with a keen young lad, whose dice throwing I made add was amazing. Dave then kindly ran through the basics of the rules for me. Needless to say I was most impressed and will definitely be making a purchase, look out for some content in WI as the rules progress.

We were on a time constraint so I did not take any photos of the games which were up to the usual standard we have come to expect from the show. So I will have to bore you with my purchases, as I will be away for the first Partizan a bit of stocking up was in order🙂

North Star wire spears from Coriatani, paint from Pendraken, airbrush cleaner from Barwell Bodyworks, French and British Napoleonics from Gripping Beast and Dave Thomas to top up my Peninsular project stash.

From Warbases a stock replenishment and some markers for Lion Rampant.

Speaking of which look out for a game report later in the week which will contain pretty pictures.

Until then............
