Those of you who have read my blog before will know that the one exception to my spending rule is Salute.

Salute is the biggest tabletop wargaming event in Europe, and a must attend event for everyone interested in any aspect of this hobby.

Go and check out there site, and start planning your purchases and which games you will try out on the day:

25% Complete and thoughts on historical wargaming.

Well I’m 25% of the way there now!

‘Cheers from the audience’.

I painted up 5 Forgefathers, and a Scibor Space Dwarf at the weekend, which means I’ve completed a quarter of the models on the list.

And it feels pretty good I have to say.

Apologies again for lack of photos, as I explained my computer at home has broken, so I’m forced to tap this out in my lunch break with no capacity to load up photographs at the moment. Also I wanted to take proper photos and not just use my phone.

I’ve been thinking a lot about playing historical games. I have the urge to play something in a real historical setting. Partly because I’m tired of codex creep in other games, because you cant invent a new super unit that kills everything and costs £15 a unit, if  that unit didn’t actually exist at the time!

I’m thinking of a 6mm or 15mm scale game, but apart from that the time setting is really up in the air.

What  I want is a fun game, and the historical setting isn’t as important as the game play itself. I’m going to do a bit of research, and if anyone reads this and wants to let me know any games they could recommend, then that would be appreciated .

Also I will stick to my guns and do my shopping at Salute, as it will give me whole lot of options to choose from.

Hopefuly I will get you some pictures soon.
