Salute 2014

Salute 2014 was last weekend and I went along with a shopping list.....

I didn't buy much in the way of miniatures, just a few more 20mm moderns for my insurgents and US.  I did buy quite a few new paints from Army Painter, flock and various odds and sods.

What was real tempting was the Drop Zone Commander stand.

Some of the guys in the club have gotten interested in the rules and I'm trying to resist another new scale.  Hard though, Hawk Games do know how to made miniatures, they are just phenomenal.  

This year, they had a big stand with several demo games and the largest assault ship you have ever seen!  They had built an assault ship that had to be at least three meters long and had the drop ships from the game in it, ready for dropping.

Hawk Wargames, 10mm sci fi hotness

At Salute this year, a new sci fi company called Hawk Wargames were showing off their new 10mm range. Since then, they have released lots of preview pictures on their Facebook page. I'm not much of a 10mm fan as I've already got my body weight in 6mm and 15mm but they are making it hard to resist. I can see myself buying some of these figures for Future War Commander. You can never have enough walkers in an army. Here is one of their alien walkers Human Flyer Human Walker Human Walker Drop Ship Alien Flyer Alien Robots

10mm for modern day?

Hmmm, was looking at my 10mm WWII figures and was thinking that 10mm moderns could look good. Might work well for force on force.

Question is, do I need another scale?
