Gencon / Origins 1988 Game Fair

 

I came across this when tidying a bookcase so thought it a good idea to scan it for posterity. I seem to recall it came in a Dragon Magazine but not sure which one if so. I think it would have been a classic event going off the contents... enjoy!

Combat 3000 Amendment Sheet (Richard Halliwell and Richard (Rick) Priestley)

 

A hobby friend asked me to scan the amendment sheet so, of course, I scanned other bits as well in case anyone should be missing them... hopefully  high enough quality to print off for those that already own the rules. There are a few more posts if you hit the Combat 3000 label on the right hand side. Brilliantly illustrated with the old future Citadel Spacefarers concept artwork by Tony Yates, Bryan Ansell and Nick Bibby.

Dragonooth Gelmen and Grenadier Gamma World

 As a lot of you know, my old school tastes tend to the very old fantasy / sci-fi - the more lead oxide coming off on my fingers the better (until the advent of eBay I loved wargame shows and, if my fingers weren't grey, it hadn't been a good show). Oh, no, I generally didn't lick them clean. Dragontooth and early Grenadier are prime examples of this... interesting sculpts but I love them and, a few days ago, a wonderful trade package turned up containing these beauties;

Dragontooth GEL6 Gelmen Infantry Armed with Spear



There are 3 variants, pics below c/o Kevan at Stunties / Lost Minis WIKI.




GEL5 Gelmen Infantry Armed with Mace - only 1 variant so I wonder if there were more?


A short video showcasing them... excuse the background noise of YouTube ads whilst I'm listening to Necroscope by Brian Lumley (read it in my youth and it's great to revisit it via audio).


 I believe they were sculpted by either Mike Gilbert or Michael Katok. Confirmation needed!

Next is a Grenadier G38 Ecology / Agricultural Bots
(1 of each type). This is a loose set - haven't been able to confirm if it's a full set as yet as the images available aren't that clear. Quite infuriating trying to catalogue the GW blisters for posterity!


A blister image off Lost Minis, not a great quality reference unfortunately.


A larger 'enhancement'...


If you have any more info / images / trade pieces do let me know.

Ral Partha Legacy - Tenoch invade the States!

 

Great news for fans of The Little Soldier Company - Jacob over at RPL has now released the Tenoch under licence for the USA and overseas territories. He's slowly releasing a bunch of miniatures from the company and all are cast in lead free pewter. No more weeks of customs and you can get your hands on these wonderful Kev Adams' sculpts.

You can also find the Khamai on the site and a number of accessories but you'll have to search until the website glitches are sorted. Please jump in and let Jacob know that I sent you!

For me though, as always; enquiries@deartonyblair.co.uk
