Salute 2015 - Loot!

I'm still plugging away at my pictures and once I have them labelled and categorised I'll post a selection of the best here. In the meantime I thought I'd show off my modest but successful shopping haul from the day. I didn't go to Salute with a pre planned shopping list (always dangerous) but I did know which traders I wanted to visit and where they were in the hall. In the end I came home with everything that I was looking for and a little bit more...so I'm a very happy gamer indeed! 

So what did I buy...not surprisingly a lot of 6mm stuff. I picked up a pack of GHQ SAS Jeeps, and some more LRDG Chevy's but I also found a pack of GHQ Italian L6 Tanks which I desperately needed. I also bought some Mahdist Riflemen from Baccus...what! I hear you cry...well these (hopefully) can be painted to represent local Sennusi Arabs for my Desert Raiders games. I also bought some slightly modern Russian infantry from H&R that I think I can paint as British Commando's. OK that's a bit of a long shot but at 6mm, who the hell is going to know the difference! 

I picked up some more generic scenery in the form of some resin rock formations that can be painted up as wind carved rock formations for me desert games. I restocked some more Dullcote spray, Paints and grass tufts, all of which I can't afford to run out of. And last but not least I bought the brand new Osprey book Stirling's Desert Triumph by Gavin Mortimer. Oh and a bought a Salute Hat. they had run out of Marque sized shirts by the time I got to the Warlords stall so this year I bought a hat instead. All in all not a bad collection of goodies.
