Events
EVENT CANCELLATIONS: Please note that most Events on our Wargamer Collection Directory have either been cancelled or are likely to be cancelled soon due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to publish Events on our website to allow Wargamers to plan their attendance at future events. Most Wargaming Events are run on an annual cycle – so any event due in the next few months is likely to occur in the same month in 2021. For the latest news on each Event, please click through from our Directory record to the Event organiser’s website.
Blogroll of honour
According to Roly in New Zealand, the award for the dullest attire should go to the Hanoverian Freytag Jägers. They wore plain green coats, with green turn-backs and cuffs with the only hint of ‘colour’ being a single white strap on the left shoulder. They also had buff breeches and gaiters and plain hats with no trim and just a green cockade. It didn’t stop Roly painting them though. . .
Lee Hadley has made a lot of custom terrain over the years and keeps coming back to the need for fields and crops for use in different periods and scales. He has made some small fields using thin MDF and brown plumbers caulk which look quite good but are quite rigid and can be difficult to use. He has now made 20 reasonably large ploughed fields using brown corduroy fabric as his base material.
Following a challenge on the Oldhammer Facebook group, axiom attempted to recreate one of his favourite GW artists, Tony Hough, illustrations into miniature form. After some planning, he took apart a Rogue Trader pirate and repositioned its various body parts, as well as sculpting the head and hands.
Julian turned his “accidental order” from Outpost Wargaming of hundreds of Triremes into the Battle of Pylos. Despite some tricky geography, he managed to create the perfect battle ground for the Spartans and Athenians using the information from a nineteenth century summary and a map of the battle.
