No he really meant it.

Thanks!

Happy Birthday!

Thanks Andy!

Fantastic!

What sparked it?

Are you annoyed by that newfangled so called “jazz” music?

But what is your birthdate?

Well played

I read that as 1896 and was immediately like whoa is this Nosferatu?

Ordered! Will be a great bit of research to help me as I develop Haarkuun for our future VSF setting.

It’s a wonderful idea to make outreach to demographics that aren’t familiar to the Wargaming hobby. It’s not aging though. The hobby is larger than it’s ever been and continues to grow!

Star Wars. “Discovered” issue 51 at the Eastham Superette on Cape Cod. Spent next two years hunting down 1-50.

Fantastic!

King John Takes the Field! Our first expansion for The Barons' War is King John! This mighty 246 page tome greatly expands the game across the reign of this storied monarch.  The Barons' War: King John brings his turbulent times onto the tabletop. It updates the Feudal European retinue list and introduces six more factions to the game: the light and flexible Welsh, the diverse and colourful Scottish, the aggressive Poitevins and the proudly disciplined Flemish, as well as hard-bitten professional Mercenaries and the cunning and desperate Outlaws. The sourcebook also provides rules and background for a score of the dramatis personae of the story, enabling you to command your troops with the vindictive King John, the chivalrous William Marshal and the scheming King Philip Augustus - or even Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Now available in both of our warehouses and soon to be followed by new plastic sets!

King John is Here!

Great work!

Thanks!!

Our official miniature this year is Saladin created by Wargames Atlantic. And this show miniature is in plastic!

If you’re one of our first 5000 guests to arrive at SALUTE 53 then you will receive this limited-edition miniature free in your goodie bag!

Eventually we will be moving many of those to hard plastic - but we’re taking timelines in years and not all of them would make the transition. But I can’t speak to any specific sets quite yet. Thank you.

Looking good!

Absolutely wonderful

It would totally track that the Germans had a set scale and then the rest of us just did “whatever”. LOL

Citadel before GW when Bryan Ansell owned the brand (as part of Wargames Foundry)

now use as a starting point. It means that all our historicals will (mostly) be able to swap arms and heads going forward (many of our 100+ 28mm sets already do) so the catalog will become a kitbashers dream allowing for completely new units and creations to be concocted! (8/8)

stave off competition. Which is stupid given that the wargaming hobby continues to grow! Anyway have thought about this quite a bit over the years and those are my three cents (adjusted for scale creep). One last bit - we’ve recently created standard sculpting dollies in house that the whole (7/x)

every man is the same height and at roughly 30mm tall and the supposed scale of 1/56 that height is 5’ 5”!! But 28mm is wonderful and it works. Scale creep continues of course. We see it all the time. And some of it is driven by miniature manufacturers wanting to create a “walled garden” to (6/x)

But I’ll take our quirky designed-for-the-tabletop models any day! That all said the whole measure to the eyes is a bit silly. I never thought the “you can’t tell where the top of the head is when they’re wearing a hat or helmet” argument made a lick of sense. Add to that the fact that not (5/x)

28mm style model is designed in such a way to look good from three feet away. Granted if manufacturers had settled on an actual scale back in the day and everyone stuck to it our jobs would be so much easier. All of a sudden all those video game sculptors would be able to make miniatures too. (4/x)

up to actual size would present as a horrific monster like being shambling down the street with a too big head and hands and about double the width of a normal human body. A true scale figure would look equally bizarre in the tabletop. Too thin and reedy and wouldn’t feel “right” whereas a… (3/x)

that company. The Perry brothers, Mark Copplestone, Steve Saleh, Mark Sims, etc all spread the Foundry style for other companies. (I won’t mention those “nasty little 15s” here) I say it’s a doomed conversation though because there’s no such thing as scale wargames models. A 28mm figure blown…(2/x)
