"What Did You Buy at Historicon?" Topic

Since everyone can post again, tell us, what did you buy?!?

Some Lews Chess pieces for statues in Frostgrave, A Ruined tower also for frostgrave. Some 28mm Homeric terrain Pieces. 5 28mm Packs of LRDG/SAS for A ww2 Aegean game. And some Boxer flags for SATF.

Nothing! I stayed home and bought a bunch of Baccus miniatures, Hail Ceaser, the Zulu supplement for Black Powder, and the second edition of Bolt Action.

I didn't go but I had some stuff picked up.
Old Glory Voodo Warriors, and Seminole Maroons.
I hope they're suitable for Lord Dunmore's Ethiopians. But if they aren't, that's what they're going to be anyway.

Good for you, Dynaman8789! Just couldn't stand to come South one last time huh?
Me, I ran 2 Games, at my last HMGS con. Unless they move one back closer to us down here. Only bought a few figs from Warlord, Brit snipers. And a few other figs from Brigade. Had 12 GREAT players tho & thoroughly enjoyed the show.

First time for me, but….

After participating in White Manticore & Nazrat's Congo game, I bought the game and Foundry factions from Badger Games and some monkeys and a (friggin!!!!!) Gorilla (goodness I hated that Gorilla!!!!).

I intend to put on a game of Congo. If my game is half as nice as their game I'll consider it a smashing success.

I also bought some AD 1666 figures (they are absolutely stunning).

Lots of MDF terrain

I also bought Congo and one of the North Star starter packs from Brigade. Added some random animals from the Ral Partha bins, and some terrain bits from Acheson

Not nearly as much as I wanted!

MDF terrain, some Copplestone Chinese from Lon at Brigade Games, and a Warlotd BA-6 and and M13/40.

Some nice 15mm Painted Norman knights, paints, and some 28mm Crusader crossbowmen in the flea market. Swordpoint rules set and several other books, bases, and lots of paints in the dealer's area. Echoing Xintao, I wanted to buy a LOT more.

Lemme see:

A 20mm scratchbuilt factory

The entire Osprey MAA series on the Italian Army in WWII

Some burning smoke and fire markers from the "tree girl" in the flea market.

2 of the Army Builder Laser Levels.

1/72 Esci kit of an M48A2G2

A diecast 1/72 German Puma

A BA-10 or 32 in 1/72

2 BT-7s in 1/72

1 1/72 M-18 (Painted)

1 1/72 M-10 (Painted and in Lead)

1 assembled Stug IIIG (need to fix the gun barrel, I think I might have the materials to do so!)

11 WW-II Hungarians (Painted) in 20mm

1 unpainted Phoenix Hawk LAM for Battletech

1 painted Huron Warrior for Battletech (need to fix the arm, it came loose).

Lots of HaT miniatures 1/72 scale WWI. Gonna try something different…

A lot more than I really intended… :)

A lot of the "industrial" terrain kits from Impudent Mortal.

Some walls from … uh… Stonehouse Miniatures.

I also bought a Blood & Plunder starter set, that's costing me more and more every day! :)

Several CR42s from I-94 and some decals and about 130.00 of GHQ WWII micros, all new releases.

Somewhat mobility limited following knee surgery, so I didn't get around as much as usual. Picked up a Cigar Box mat from BTC, some AB Nappies and a TFL rulebook from Eureka, and some homemade industrial terrain pieces from a friend in the flea market. Didn't get to Minuteman before close on Sunday, but I did send off a small post-con order for some 1/72 plastics.

Hope all were pleased with their respective sales and purchases.

Scott

Flames of War desert forts, large flames of war church, Airfix High Chapperal Cowboys. A ship that will be converted to a river gunboat. 30 Blue Moon (15mm) Askaris. First Historicon ever. Quite nice all and all.

3 sets of C&C:N from Rich Borg

This started two new periods for me in 28mm (EIR v. Ancient Germans & Successors)

Picked up some Old Glory 25s Ancients Romans, Sarmations and Germans, some 15mm buildings, a 25 Viking ship. Some 28mm Copplestone fills and some Chinese River Pirates for my Yangtze China Games. Picked up two divisions of Amazons for Hail Caesar to surprise the Imperial Romans. Some 15mm Ottomans.

Oh, and Tree Girl cookies.

Not enough to keep any vendors happy, I'm afraid. Over the last few years I've concentrated on getting the lead and plastic pile whittled down.

Got some nice Crusader Normans in the Flea market.

In the vendor hall I got a Chinese take out box full of MDF bases and some Brigade Four Musketeer figures.

All of Scott's Paper Terrain new ACW buildings in 10-15mm. It is really super nice material. Also got Bill's great new Battle of Franklin, Elkhorn Tavern, and Trooper house. Of course I also picked up The new Brigade Fire and Fury set I have been play testing from Rich.
