Gamers who follow us on social media will have seen how busy we are preparing for our trip to Arnhem next week, but this isn't a battlefield challenge or a jolly trip to sample the local beer. Our expedition sees us introduce wargaming to the visitors to the Airborne Museum at the Hartenstein Hotel in Oosterbeek for the very first time.
Why not catch up on the preparations with Lard Island News HERE
This week we are continuing the trend of showing some previews of bits to be released in the next few weeks, but before that, there is the small matter of the weekly order update. This week, we have reached order #21800 which means that we’ve processed 127 orders this week.
On top of this, work has been going on behind the scenes getting the Autumn released prepared and ready to go. This week, here is a glimpse of the first of the Russian artillery, in the form of a group of 45mm, 57mm and 76mm AT guns and crew.
Of course, all of these guns would not be necessary if there were no targets for them to shoot at. Once of the more obvious ‘missing items’ in our German range is the Tiger tank – surely the most iconic German AFV of them all. Well, we will shortly be rectifying this, but until we get the final mould made, here’s a picture of what to expect.
Finally for today, many thanks to all of you who kept us so busy at the Newbury show. We had a great time and it’s was good to catch up with you all. Wargames shows are one of the great joys of our hobby and I think that we appreciate them more as a result of the recent enforced absence. The next event on the horizon is Partizan at Newark on 9th October. It's time to get those advance orders in to us, so that we can make sure you get exactly what you are after!

Saving Private Ryan Church Bell Tower now in 15mm scale
This model has been available in 28mm for some now, we finally decided that it needed to be done in 15mm as well. This model includes a very high level of laser cut and engraved details on the exterior surfaces. You're really going to like the look of this one. The sample is sprayed with black primer and a little drybrushing, with a proper paint job (when I have time) this model will look amazing. It's hard to appreciate the detail on this model when it's so dark (doesn't photograph well), check the site for detail photos of the model before it was painted.
This model is based on the church bell tower from the movie "Saving Private Ryan". As you can see, this model features a high level of detail and accuracy. A lot of time was spent researching the building from the movie and great care was taken to replicate that building as accurately as possible while creating a miniature that works for gaming.
The assembled model measures approx. 7.5" 6" 8" tall (190mm x 152mm x 203mm)
1st Release towards a new range of 28mm WW2 Germans. Initial release is of Riflemen, Mg34 Teams and Nco's.
