There is now less than a month to go to this year's Joy of Six and it really is looking like another outstanding show.

In terms of traders we have the following attending, their shelves, racks and tables packed with 6mm merchandise of all types:
• Baccus
• Wargames Emporium
• Commission
• Brigade Models
• GM Boardgames
• Heroics & Ros
• Rapier
• Leven Miniatures
• Christopher Morris
• GS Miniature Workshop

We're really pleased to be able to welcome GM Boardgames who are travelling to attend the show all the way from Poland. They'll be showing off their ACW game and a lovely range of figures.
Also new for this year is Christopher Morris who'll be selling books - a real gap in the products available in previous years' events.

The list of games is really quite stellar:
• GM Boardgames
• Wakefield and District Wargamers
• SAD Wargamers
• Cold War Commanders
• COGS
• Dan Hodgson
• Gripping Beast
• Naval Wargames Society
• Per Broden and Wyre Foresters
• Commission Figures
• Mailed Fist
• Yorkshire Renegades
• Ian and Mark Henderson
• MAD gamers
• Baccus 6mm
• Milton Keynes
• Harry Ryder
• Grantham Strategy and Gaming Club
• Robert Dunlop
• Sheffield Wargames Soc & WD
• James Mitchell
• Deeside Defenders
• Wargames Emporium
• Battle of Seven Pines
• Ultra fast Sci-Fi
• Operation Excess
• DBA
• Action at Gilly, June 1815
• Swordpoint 6mm
• Zeebrugge Raid 1918
• Horka 1708
• Napoleonic
• Normandy 44
• Megara
• Hastings
• Future War Commander
• Manchester 1642
• DBMM Ancients
• Battle of Issus
• Battle of Britain
• Matz 1918
• Clitches of the Great Patriotic war
• ECW - Halfway Down
• Austerlitz
• Command Horizon

That's two dozen games of the very highest quality with 75% of them being participation. You not only get to see some great sights, but you get to join in too!

For those of you wishing to sharpen up your painting, Dr Mike will be once again be opening the doors of his splendiferous painting clinic.

There will be two seminars; The Baccus team will once again be placed in a locked room with a load of customers and pinned against the wall and made to deliver up the deepest and darkest secrets about what goes on behind the scenes at the Grim Workshop of Doom. The second will be a new format to us in that we've assembled a panel of some of the Great and the Good of our hobby to chew over some topical 6mm related issues. There'll be more details of this coming along later, but I think that's going to be a cracking session!

Add in to this heady mix a Bring and Buy, good food and very reasonable places and a mere £3.00 entry fee, then you have the makings of one of the best shows on the UK games circuit.

You can find all the details HERE

If you fancy making a full weekend of it, then why not book yourself in on a Baccus Workshop Tour? We'll be holding two sessions on Saturday 14th July. Numbers are limited, so get your reservations in now or risk disappointment as they are very popular. Just email or call us on 0114 2724491.

The Joy Of Six – 2018

Coming up in the next month is our next show, the Joy of Six in Sheffield on Sunday July 15th. Run by Baccus Miniatures, the event (as its name suggests) is a 6mm scale-specific event covering all eras and genres from ancients to Sci-Fi.

We’ll be there with a cut-down trade stand, carrying our full range of 6mm SF miniatures, army packs, rules, buildings and figures. We’ll bring along the full Squadron Commander range of starfighters (since they’re also 6mm), our selection of 3D printed scenic items and the full Small Scale Scenery range.

As always, we’re happy to take orders (for any of our ranges, not just the ones mentioned above) either paid for on the day or in advance. We can take orders up until the Wednesday before the show (the 11th) although obviously sooner is better.

We’re aiming to have a decent selection of new 6mm items for the day – all the new Slammers vehicles ought to be ready by then, assuming we don’t have any more irritating delays 😕.


As well as those we should have some redesigned models from the ‘normal’ 6mm range, a selection of new buildings, hopefully some new infantry figures and maybe even something big, stompy and two-legged. News and previews of all of these over the next few weeks.

One further minor piece of housekeeping – I’m off for a short break, back again on Monday. I’m aiming to get all outstanding orders cleared today but any new orders will be delayed until the start of next week.

Our next and nearest show, Broadside in Sittingbourne on June 10th, is approaching rapidly. I’ve gradually been replenishing our show stock following Salute and have a full day to finish off that task next week.

We should have some more new releases in the next week or two which will be available on the day, and of course the large selection of models that we released at Salute will also be available.

As always, we are taking pre-orders for any of our ranges – you can either place an order and pay in advance using the collect in person option on the website, or just drop us an email with a list and pay on the day. Pre-orders need to be with us by Tuesday next week at the latest (June 5th) in order for us to have a chance of getting them ready.

THIS SUNDAY come see us at Partizan in Newark. Same place, far left in the cool corner with Great Escape Games and Toofatlardies. This time we have special guest Krakon Games on there too - both in stock and person so do please come check out their goodies too. Really swish looking gribblies and some sci fi monsters.

The Bad Squiddo stock will be limited because of all the recent problems so if you really want something please do pre order so I can make sure we have it for you. We will ONLY have Bad Squiddo stock, nothing else (no Statuesque Heads etc) so anything like that - pre order or be sad.

If you have a pending order and wish to collect at the show, please pop an email over and we'll have it there for you, with the postage returned in solid gold coins or credit.

The stand will be er, a bit different. As we have to fit it in a car. Yup.

See you there, tell your friends etc

Anniiiiiiiiiiiie
