Last Saturday I went once again to the Phoenix Lakeland Wargames Exhibition at the Rheged Centre at Penrith. The show is now in it's second year and has grown since last year. There were more traders this year, a bigger bring and buy and they've acquired a second hall to host the tournaments. I'll apologize now, I forgot to nip upstairs and take some pictures of the tournaments.
Let's look at the display games first.
This is some sort of world war two game.
There was a big Warhammer 30,000 battle going on.
Beyond the Gates of Antares
A huge medieval game.
A big American Civil War game using the Black Powder rules. This one was run by my old gaming group The Dumfries Wargamers.
Some of the traders
Chris the brainchild of the show.
My loot. Ezekel and Shiva from the walking (I got me a tiger yeah). I picked up another Kings of War army in the form of the Trident Realms and I got the new Kings of war summer campaign salamander figure, that I'm going to use in Dungeon saga.
Also my other half picked up her first wargaming figures in the form of a Poison Ivy gang for Batman. See
She also picked up a church from Dave's Wargames (check his stuff out, he does realy nice mdf kits). Expect a couple of guest blogs.
All in all it was another great show. I managed to spend all the money I made on the bring and buy too. Will I go next year? Of course, work permitting that is.
