Holding Pattern...

Rachel, Nick and I went to the UK's largest wargames show, Salute (at ExCel in London's Docklands) yesterday and had a great time - but the bad lighting in the expansive hall and the limited capabilities of both my camera and my photographic skills means the pictures I took will require a bit of work in Photoshop.

I hope to have my review of the show - with pictures - ready for Monday, but in the meantime here are shots of a magnificent double-sided display Rachel and I saw at the Edinburgh branch of Games Workshop last week.

The side visible from the street was this magnificent Warhammer 40,000 set-up, while on the reverse...

...The Fellowship were making their way through the goblin-packed mines of Moria. We also had a quick demonstration of the new Games Workshop mass battle system for their Lord of The Rings game, which appealed to me because it involved rolling bucket loads of dice!

The shop assistant also explained that they are planning a third "side" to their giant display, which will be a Warhammer dwarf mine - but that will be designed downwards, so it is visible under the surface of the table.
