Warfare was on this weekend and followed the usual pattern:
1 First check out the ‘bring and buy’ for 6 mm or
10 mm figures.
2 Collect Pre-orders at Baccus, Commission
Figurines and get bases from Minibits
3 Walk around the show seeing what is new, and
looking at demo and participation games for scenery/terrain ideas and new
games.
This time I came across a trader I hadn’t seen before, Blotz, they had some beautiful well detailed buildings in 28 mm, 20 mm, 15 mm and 10 mm and did my eyes deceive me 6 mm!
I was impressed by their ‘Epic style’ 1920’s Mid-West
collection, they certainly looked the part. I was encouraged to pick them up
and discovered they were designed in stacks; base unit, middle block and top
and they also sell all the items individually so you can add more middle units
to vary the heights of the same building type or indeed swop the top to the
damaged unit. You could even remove floors in game as the building received
more hits changing the LOS.
So I bought 6 buildings and the 10 mm satellite dish which
can be an objective and will look great on a 6 mm table.
There are also assembly instructions on the website and I
certainly needed it for the satellite dish and the first building, subsequent
buildings were newer and don’t yet have instruction, but having done one I
understood the format.
I must say as I constructed them I was amazed at the level
of detail both in design and in construction with facias that needed adding and
recessed lobbies; I was constantly saying, Wow and ‘that’s clever’.
I will certainly be ordering some more buildings and extra floors;
I suspect an order of £50 is in the making.
The sheets are cleanly lasered with facias to add depth and lobbied areas. In the disassembled picture, note the 'tangs' that allow the levels to lock together.
Not sure if the Cinema is 'right' for my war zones, but I bought it with the intention of converting to some kind of HQ/bunker.
Got one of these buildings at Warfare too. They're excellent for making ruins photo here.
