Warfare Convention and other stuff ...

This weekend gone was the Warfare Convention hosted by the Wargames Association of Reading at the Rivermead Leisure Centre in Reading. As usual at that venue, there wasn't enough parking :(

Anyway, I was there for about 3-4 hours and spent far too much increasing my unpainted lead mountain with the following new toys:

• about 20 28mm Indian Mutiny figures from Mutineer Miniatures
• a bunch of ECW civilians and causalties, plus 2 wagons from Bicorne Miniatures and Redoubt Enterprises for Witchfinder General that I am getting for Christmas
• 6mm War of Spanish Succession infantry from Baccus
• 2 15mm Grant tanks from Skytrex for my Burma stuff along with some more Peter Pig figures to pad out my infantry
• more 15mm Peter Pig figures for VBCW project

Since the weekend, I've temporarily suspended making card buildings and been getting my purchases ready for undercoating by basing them:

28mm figures

15mm figures

Both the above photos have some extra figures in them - the 28s with the terracotta clay are Redoubt 3 musketeers figures that I've had for years and am now going to use as 'blinders' in Witchfinder General.

Having spent all that hard-earned cash on my own toys, I decided I should go Christmas shopping ... whilst in Morningstar Hobbies in Camberley though, I espied theses 2 kits:

And not having either vehicle for my ATZ car park, I bought them!  I'll put a post up on them when I assemble them, but I thought I'd let you know they were out there ...
