Salute 53 2026 - Who's Going?

 

There's only 4 days to go until Salute 53!!!

Some of Posties Rejects, myself,  Postie, Lee, Steve and Dave, will be taking that long 25 minute drive up the A2 to attend!

The Annual Salute Blogger meet up will be at 1 o'clock at the "Cool" emoji. If you fancy saying coming along and saying hello, please do. 

Don't forget to pre-book a parking space at Excel, click here, the walk back to the offsite carpark last year felt like a 4 day Himalayan trek. 

So hopefully we'll see you there?

 Have fun, everyone!

AHPC16 - Last Post - Greek Mythology - Heracles & Chums!

 

Well I stared this years Challenge with some Jason and the Argonauts figures.....and I'm ending it with the same.

Well not actually the same figures, but more from Wargames Foundry's range.

I painted them up again, in the same black armour that Foundry painted their's.

Here we have the Mighty Heracles, who's a very large chap, in the middle its Canthus the Euboen and Ascalaphus.

Then we have Lynceus, Peleus the Myrmidon and Idas.

Then we have 5 more Children of the Hydra

Although I got a different figure in my pack, a left handed spearman!!

I'm pretty sure my Nephew Zac's gonna love them!!

Its his Birthday at the end of the month, I've bought him some Victrix Greek's, so look out for them on my blog soon.

I took a few shots of the figures having a fight....as you do?

So this is it, my final post of the 16th Challenge, the points are pretty easy to work out on this one.

11x 25mm figures at 5 points each will give me 55 points!

AHPC16 - DaveD's Favourite! Sandbags at 12 paces!!!

 

As I previously mentioned the Challenge is now over and this is another catch up post from last month.

DaveD and other always rib me over Sandbags, so as for the fist time in any Challenge I've painted WWII figures, I thought I'd have some sandbags!!!

I only bought these last week on Etsy, from The Forge Hub. They were only £3.41 plus postage. So I can't complain about the price at all.

They were very easy to paint up, firstly with a stone colour, the drybrush white.

I wasn't going to base them, but last night thought again. I used artists card and cut out the shapes needed and them based them up in my usual way.

I'm very pleased with them and can't wait to use them in a game.

Once again I'm not really sure how they'll be scored, so I'll leave that up whichever Minion has the job.
