Cangames finds

 

So found some stuff from various vendors at Cangames. Apparently I am going to be working on a centaur themed Fantastic Battles army. I found these at Crossed Swords. Seventeen centaurs and 1 big monster/Minotaur/centaur thing. While I did not go looking for them, they were a fair price and I figure I do something with them. Apparently they are Bob Murch sculpts from the early 2000s. I already had some very old chaos centaurs painted a few years back. Combined this will be a force of 27 centaurs, roughly 12-13 companies and a couple of leaders. The big guy will be built as a dragon. The winded figure in the picture will be used for another project. 

HotLead acquisitions

 

So, another Hotlead has come and gone and I have survived another mad crush at the bring and buy! So far I have had a great deal of success at the event, this year was no exception, except that I did not find as many great items as I have in the past.

The haul!

Hotlead, a good trip to Stratford Ontario

 

So lots of fun stuff at Hotlead this year! Beyond some really excellent looking games the big thing for me, as always, is the bring and buy. It is often an expensive weekend as I often find plenty of must have items and this year was no exception.

Cangames aquisitions

  Some of this years purchases!

So another year and another Cangames convention has come and gone. As usual it is the stuff that is for sale that draws me to the event, that and a chance to scope out the state of the gaming scene in Ottawa. This was the 43rd annual convention, I still remember stumbling upon the first convention all those years ago back in 1977!!!

Hotlead 2019 in pictures Part 3 of 3

My final picture posting of Hotlead. After reviewing part 1 and 2 I realize that I teased everyone with only one picture of the 1/32 scale What a Tanker game. Well, I took a lot more pictures than just the one shot, so just as this photo odyssey started with that game, this last posting shall end with it.

What a Tanker game in 1/32 scale!

 
Just back from a trip down to Stratford Ontario to check out the gaming action in Southern Ontario. Only my second time making the 6 hour trek to the show, but both times the drive was worth it! Excellent convention, great array of games being played, and a great one day bring and buy, which to be honest is the main motivator for me attending.
