New US AT Gun releases
Apologies for the delayed weekly update – I am afraid that Real Life intervened last Friday which meant that I was unable to get some things done. However, better late than never, here is last week’s Magic Number - #20712. Some orders prior to this may not have been processed, but as usual, we will pick those up in the next few days.
We are back on the New Release treadmill, and this time it is US Anti-Tank guns. There are four pieces, ranging from the lowly 37mm, through the 57mm and up to two versions of the redoubtable 76mm.

 

Next up will be some US field artillery. And no, we haven’t forgotten that there was a lot of stuff happening prior to 1944, and we are working hard behind the scenes to bring some more of that to you. I’ll post some pictures of some lovely new sculpts later this week…
Talking of later this week, after an enforced absence the St Helens club is once again staging the Phalanx show.

We will be there with the full trade stand. If anyone wants to get a collection order in to us, please do so quickly. We need the time to get these ready, and letting us know on the Friday afternoon prior to the event could just be cutting things a wee bit fine...

Baccus 6mm Joy Of Six

The Great Big Pre-Joy of Six social bash

Riverside Kelham, Saturday 2 July, 7pm to 11pm
To mark our wedding that is taking place two weeks after the Joy of Six, Lindy and I have arranged a social ‘do’ on the Saturday night prior to the show. There is no disco or loud music, this is just a get-together. This will replace the ‘Beer and Curry’ night that we usually host for those of you staying overnight in Sheffield. We’ve got a venue located in Sheffield’s infamous Real Ale Valley, and we would love to see lots of you there.
We have mentioned various buffet options and the one that seems to be the favourite is the BBQ. The price of this is £15pp and we will supply the pudding. You will need something to soak up the ale, as there will be lots of decent beer to purchase at reasonable Northern prices.

BBQ £15pp
Hickory Smoke Beef Burgers or Vegan Unconventional Burger
Moss Valley Hot Dog or Vegan Moving Mountains Bratwurst
Crispy Bang Bang Chicken Strips
Salt and Pepper Corn on the Cob
Chunky Chips
Potato salad (VG)

If you would like to come, please do get in touch with us by Friday 10th June, so that we can confirm numbers and any dietary requirements.
We will pay for the meals, and you can settle up with us on the night.
The do will take place at the Riverside Kelham,  starting at 7pm and finishing at 11pm.
The pub is located just off the city centre and is easy to get to by public transport, taxi or even on foot.

Please confirm your attendance, even if you have been in contact with us previously.
My filing system is atrocious, and Lindy is away from the desk right now.

Updates From Baccus 6mm

Shock, Horror! No new releases this week!
21st May 2022

As usual, the first item on the news update is the infamous ‘magic number’, which is #20591. It’s a little short of where I’d expected, but there are a number of orders cast and awaiting packing that will be done early next week.
Moving on, yes, it had to happen. A regular weekly update with no new releases Sorry to disappoint and all that, but we’ve been so busy getting ready for Partizan this coming weekend that we’ve not had time to do all that photography and data entry malarkey. Anyway, some of you have been complaining about, ‘not being able to keep up’, or some such nonsense, so we can all have a rest now, can’t we? As a result, here are a couple of random photos from the class of 22 to keep you occupied.

There’s still loads more to come, but so far this year we’ve released over one hundred new vehicle models plus a decent number of other bits and pieces across the ages, so I think we’ve earned a week off.
As I mentioned above, we will be at Partizan this weekend. Despite its deep association with the Nottingham 28mm Mafia, it is a great show with some wonderful games on show and the venue is one of the best on the circuit. We’ll be in our usual spot near the café, so please do come along, have a chat, give some feedback and be tempted by some of our shiny offerings.

Finally for today, do keep an ear out for the next Gods Own Scale podcast, in which Sean Clark give me a grilling on all things 6mm and we chat about this year’s Joy of Six in which we reveal something very special happening on the day before the show…

Baccus Showcase #3

I am delighted to be able to report that the third of our Baccus Showcase videos is now available for viewing.
This time the subject is our Great Northern War Swedes. These are some of our newest sculpts and scrub up quite nicely.
I’ll be taking a short break from working on the Showcase videos in favour of a longer more general 6mm-related piece.
As ever, feedback is welcomed.
I am very new to this format and medium and am still on a very steep learning curve.

News From Baccus 6mm

At times, working at Baccus central can take on a surreal tone as discussions about projects and works in progress overlap, intermingle and dive off into side roads of increasing incomprehensibility. A conversation today started off with a comment about a new mould for some Sea People strips, got caught cross current in a stream of consciousness about WW2 German armour, segued into a convoluted discussion of the rights and wrongs of the Monmouth rebellion and finished with a consideration of British Tanks of the Great War. All of which was fascinating but didn’t actually address the original question, which was quite forgotten by the end of the exchange.

And yes, all of the above was itself a digression as we come to this week’s order number, which is #20326. I have to give a big shout out here to Lindy, who has worked tirelessly on getting a lot of orders turned around and on their way.

And so, we come to Friday, and that is currently Baccus new release day. The first item for you entertainment is an addition to an established range, but one that was obvious by its omission. We British wargamers are fond of our history, and the Duke of Monmouth’s doomed rebellion is one that is a popular subject. Our Wars of the Sun King range covers this period nicely, but to go full Monmouth, you need the scythmen – the ill-armed but enthusiastic West Countrymen who joined the ill-fated rebellion. Well, you have them now!

And next we continue to add to our ever-growing coverage of the Second World War, this time with a clutch of German AT guns:

I will be doing an update on this year’s Joy of Six next week, so you will know what to expect when you walk through the doors of the UK’s very best 6mm themed wargames show...
