I made the trip to CanCon this year. Due to circumstances over which I have no self-control, I missed out on a seat at the Blood Bowl tournament so instead spent time perusing the trade stands and catching up with friends. It was stinking hot...
We had the 2019 Bloggers and Challengers' Catch-up, and it was great to see old mates and put faces to cyber-acquaintances.
I only took a few photos- the highlight for me was some gorgeous jungle terrain being used for some Two Fat Lardies games. I haven't seen anything so realistic.
Here's my loot- I got some cheap stuff at the bring & buy (brand new 40K 8th edition, it was only $40, they made me buy it) and a bit of MDF, and some hobby supplies.

- I also caught up with Slowp8nter JohnSh from War and Peace, and we had a yarn about maintaining focus and drive in our hobby.

Look forwards to it, Darling!
DeleteOh man that jungle table looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?!

ReplyDeleteApart from that, all the pics look fantastic!
Thanks, Suber!
DeleteWOW! That is detailed Jungle terrain. Looks like it was an excellent place for a wargame hoobyists. Great stuff and thanks for sharing some photos.
ReplyDeleteNo worries, Kiwi.
DeleteFantastic as always to catch up mate. Thanks for arranging the 4th Annual Aussie bloggers meet up!
ReplyDeleteThose scratch built CoC jungle tables were just unbelievable
Thanks for promoting it and press-ganging everyone! We'll all have to catch up for a longer yarn next time.
DeleteSome say they were made from Millsy's camo shorts...
GUTTED that I missed it. The are SO many of you there unlike last year. I hope the beer was cold!
ReplyDeleteNo worries, Millsy, next time!
DeleteThat jungle looks like a staggering amount of work to put together! And it's hard to replicate such a dense environment and still allow room to "play". But this seems to work. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to play on it. I don't know how it was done.
DeleteJust stumbled onto your blog, nice pics and glad you were impressed with the jungle terrain, it was a challenge to create playable jungle terrain.
ReplyDeletecheers John
Spectacular work, Mr Bond! It looks amazing and the effort paid off.
