Baccus 6mm Show News

It's time to get show orders sent in.

I’d like to start off today’s update with a big Thank You to all the members of the Wargames Association of Reading for their mammoth effort in staging the Warfare show last weekend. The new venue for the show was excellent, but it was obvious to all that it was a very labour intensive to run and the hosts did a wonderful job.

Which brings us to this week’s order number, which is….#22550. The usual proviso applies in that some numbers prior to this will be going out next week, and a few in advance will actually be on their way.

Coming very soon are the two final shows of the year; Battleground and Recon.
IF you are coming to these shows and planning some retail therapy, please be aware that do not now have to the time to restock our shelves. That means that is really, Really, REALLY important to let us know what you want ahead to the show, so we can ensure that we bring it along. Even if it is just one pack. The last couple of shows have really taken their toll on our stocks, and we have some large gaps. Just send an email or call us.

Still messing around with wings
Okay, so I had a week off from doing updates. ‘Slacker’, said the emails, ‘Sluggard’, ‘Sloth’, ‘Negligent’, Work-shy’, and even ‘Otiose’ were just some of the colourful adjectives aimed with exquisite precision. All damning judgements. I really cannot afford to miss this week. Let’s start with this week’s order number, which is #22432.
We are still working behind the scenes on preparing the next batch of new stuff ready for release. What I can do is give another preview of the new 17th/18thC Polish figures. This time, it’s more Hussars.
These really are castings that just love the paintbrush – the subject is spectacular enough, but these really are amazing sculpts and the armies built from them will really look, to use that much abused term, truly Epic!
Thanks to all of you who have placed orders in advance of the upcoming Warfare and Battleground shows. This really is well worth doing, as we cannot stock in depth and it is all too easy to turn up at our stand with a list to find that chap in front of you has just cleared us out of what you are after.

It’s the Baccus weekly update.

I’ll start today with the traditional announcement of the Magic Order number.
This week it is #22241.
I’ll add the usual rider that some orders prior to this number will not be going out until next week for a while host of mysterious and arcane reasons known only to a small circle of the Enlightened…

No new releases this week, but as promised, the is a preview/teaser photo of the first of the resculpted 17th/18th century Poles.
The aim is to release the new figures in full by the end of this year. The existing range will continue to be available for those wishing to complete their collections, but it will be withdrawn fully at some point before the full release of the new figures. As part of the new release plans, there will be an accompanying full colour flag sheet - the Hussars above are flying one of the new standards.
We’ve got a few new ranges under development right now and I hope to post some more previews in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, the end of October will see us attending the Fiasco show at Leeds Royal Armouries.

Please do get those advance orders into us as soon as possible.

Carrying on the theme...
14th Oct 2022

This week, we are rounding out the Russian field artillery with three larger calibre pieces, the 152mm m37 ML-20, the 152mm m43 D1 and the awesome 203mm – a must have piece for those who like monster guns!
We had a great time at Partizan last weekend. Thank to all of you who made the show so busy for us. Our focus is now shifting to the Fiasco show in Leeds at the end of the month. Please do get those collection orders in to us, especially if you want more than a couple of any single pack.
We’ll have all the new releases at the show and, if I get my brush into gear some previews of releases to come.

See you there!

New WW2 Russian Field guns
7th Oct 2022

 

Once more Friday has come around, so it’s time for the weekly Baccus updates. As usual, we start with the lucky order number, which this week is #22034.

The news regarding card payments is improving, as they seem to be functioning for all but those orders coming from the USA. If you are having difficulties with the system, please do get in touch. The tech-chap has now moved on to tapping on various bits of tubing and piping with a screwdriver and humming tunelessly. I am told that this is a sign of progress.

All of which brings us to this week’s new releases which continue the theme of recent works. The Russian forces now have a range of field guns to deploy in the form of a 76mm m36, 76mm m39, 122mm m37 and a 122mm m38.

Next week we’ll see the REALLY big guns!

The Baccus stand will once again be in its usual spot at the Partizan show and we look forward to seeing may of you there. This marks the first of a series of five shows over the next eight weeks which is a pretty brutal schedule for us. As always, please get any collect orders in to us nice and early. We will only have limited time to replace stock, so it makes sense to let us know what you want in advance.

Finally, for those of you who think that we’ve completely abandoned anything new except World War 2, we’ve got some lovely models coming down the line from preceding centuries and I hope to preview some of these in a couple of weeks’ time.
