Yo peeps! We'll be at 'Colours' Newbury, UK, on Saturday 7th September.
Their website is https://www.nrwc.org.uk/colours-2019.
Find out details of our participation game ‘Space Vixens From Mars – Episode 25S’ – ‘Aliens Versus Brexit’ HERE
Come along and play on this 40th anniversary of 'Jaws In Space' going on general release at the pictures.
Please note we will not be trading at this show.
e return to the show circuit soon, starting at the Hereward convention at the Cresset Centre in Peterborough on Sunday September 1st, followed by Colours at Newbury Racecourse less than a week later (Saturday 7th). As always, we’re more than happy to take orders for collection at either event – simply send us an email with what you require and pay on the day, or you can order and pay in advance via the website using the ‘Collect in Person’shipping option.
As our ranges have grown we’re no longer able to bring everything with us, so to help you plan here’s a list of what we’re intending to cram onto the stand at both events – if we aren’t bringing what you’re after, get in touch and we’ll see what we can do.
Coming to a Joy of Six near you...
24th Jun 2019
With just two weeks to go to the Big Show, the staff here are Baccus Megacorps Industries are slaving away to get some new goodies on the shelf for your delight and delectation. The first subject to occupy our attentions will be next set of releases for WW2 in the shape of British Airborne forces.

The aim is to have not only the individual code packs for the various and sundry vehicles
and equipment
but also we'll be bundling these together into large formation packs so you'll be able to assemble a complete Airborne Brigade.
We're also working as hard as we can to get the new Wars of Sun King ready for the show.
All of this means that we are going to be very busy over the next few days. We are still accepting orders for collection at the show and past experience tells us that we can sell out of some things very quickly indeed, so it’s worth getting those requests in to us ahead of the show. You can do so by using the Baccus site shopping cart or by email or phone.
Speaking of the Joy of Six, this year's show is shaping up to be cracker. We've got big games, little games, land games, sea games, games to watch, games to play and definitely, most definitely, games to look and go Oooooooooohhhhhh! There are more trade stands than ever, and Dr Mike has promised to put his transport problems behind him and stage his marvellous travelling painting clinic. We have attendees from all over the world coming to this year's show, so come and join them and see what it's all about!
On a final note, we have three places up for grabs on the Baccus Workshop tour starting at 10.00 on July 6th. If you want to grab one or more of these, get in touch as soon as possible. When they are gone, they are gone!
Our next show, the Joy of Six in Sheffield, is less than two weeks away. Jo6 is, as you might guess from the name, an event dedicated to the delights of 6mm gaming across all periods and genres. Organised by Baccus, the show takes place in Sheffield Hallam University and attracts over a dozen traders and features almost thirty micro-scale games.
Since this is a very specialised show, I don’t take all of our ranges with us – instead I have a smaller stand packed with everything 6mm, plus a couple of other related ranges (full list below).
As always, we’re happy to take orders in advance – you can either place an order and pay in full using the collect in person option on the website, or just drop us an email with a list and pay by cash or card on the day. You can advance order anything from any of our ranges, not just the 6mm ones.
Hammer’s Slammers – the full range of 6mm figures and vehicles, along with a good selection of detachment packs
6mm Sci-Fi – our full range of vehicles, figures, buildings and other items, including army packs, company packs and building packs
Squadron Commander – full range of models, starter packs and blister packs
Small Scale Scenery – full range of buildings and other items
10mm Buildings – some people prefer slightly bigger buildings, so I’ll also have our full range of 10mm resin buildings
As well as our recent 6mm releases, we are working on some more new items for the day – I’m hoping to be able to preview something soon.
Our next show is due in a couple of weeks. It’s our local event, Broadside, run by the ever-friendly Milton Hundred Wargames Club. Both Phil and I will be there in our customary spot. It’s held at the Swallows Leisure Centre in Sittingbourne from 10am to 4pm – a convenient ten minute walk from home (although a half-hour drive from Brigade HQ).
We’ll have decent stocks of most lines, including our newest releases. As always for any show, we welcome advance orders – 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. You’ll see from the list below that we can’t bring everything, so if you would like anything from ranges that we’re not bringing with us then you’ll need to order it in advance.
Celtos – Decent stock of all individual figures, small unit packs and medium and large army packs
Aeronef/Imperial Skies – All of the most popular fleet packs (the major powers) but not the smaller nations; a good selection of individual capital ships in blisters; rulebooks and accessories for Imperial Skies.
