Broadside Loot!




I bought a fair bit of scenery at Broadside this year. I spent a few quid at the most excellent Debris of War, adding another 7 of their excellent trees to my growing collection


Along with 5 of their pond bases, I'm going to try and winter a few of these up for my and Lee's Retreat from Moscow shenanigans!


£40 for 19 packs of Minifigs Ottoman Turks. I would really like to add some Turks to my 15mm LOA armies, it'd be great to play the Siege of Vienna in 15mm. I've already got loads of figures in 28mm for Donnybrook, so why not an army for Beneath the Lilly Banners ass well??? Of course I'd need some Poles as well........


The Flea market was a great success, I bought all this lot above, from one chap, some of which I'll winter up


And these 3 hills, which I might winter up or might not???



I also picked these up for the quite ridiculous price of £25 for the pair!!!! I've very often ogled these and other in the range at shows on the Pike & Shot Society stall. I already own the Spanish and one of the Dutch books, they are a must for the period. I nearly fell over when I saw the price!!!
They're usually £50 each.






The last thing I bought again from the Flea Market was a pack of Foundry Pirates for the measly sum of £2, they're now £18 a pack. I previously used a lot of these figures when painting up my Haitian Revolution project, most were converted into Haitians.


Lee was winging that he wanted to buy something. I've been buying a few trees here and there for us to winter up for our Retreat from Moscow game, I saw these earlier in the day, so suggested to Lee to open his moth filled wallet and buy some of these trees from Pumpernickle Games. 


We're hoping to meet up next week and do a days work on all the terrain we've bought, hopefully we can get a lot done in the day???

  10. Lots of lovely loot, Ray. Do you find these days you tend to pick up more terrain than figures - and that the terrain is largely pre-painted too..? It's something I've been noticing in my buying habits as I slowly realise I'm never going to paint what I own, and just want stuff to wargame with straight away.
