Tactica 2019 Pictures (2)

Part two of the pictures I made at this years Tactica in Hamburg. Sorry for the delay but I had much to do and did not find a quiet moment to upload the pictures in the last weeks, in the next weeks there will be more time for postings.
The first set of Tactica 2019 pictures can be found in this post.

Many pictures were bad, maybe I will upload them in a separate gallery, but here are some of the nicer pictures I made. There is no special order in the pictures, but between them you will find some some lines about some things that I wanted to mention.

The guys from the Ad Arma tabletop club in Haßloch had a very nice demotable for WW2 Kampfzone, a tabletop game in 1:35 scale. We had a small talk with them, they were nice guys who made their own game, which took some years to finish.
Too bad that most pictures of the table were not sharp enough to see details.

PB12 is a generic system for tabletop games. With this you can play battles between all thinkable forces, how about Romans versus Tyranids, it would be possible with PB12. You will find all infos, the ruleset, units and much more on their homepage.
I will definitely check this out in the future.

A classic from my childhood now in 28mm, just like last year the guys from the Tabletop Kiosk had a very nice "Masters Of The Universe" themed table. The Castle Grayskull scenery piece was very impressive. Many of the miniatures used for this are heavily modified, you can find some before/after pictures in their blog.
They played a modified version of the Bolt Action ruleset.

There were (at least) two great Star Wars Legion tables. I liked the fact, that these guys used electronics to improve their scenery parts. On a defence turret was a motor built in, that thing made the turret rotating, and some buildings were lighted. Also very fascinating were some minis with LEDs built in, for example the Darth Vader mini which can be found in this post.

And then there were the people from the Star Wars Dinner Hamburg, a Star Wars reenactment group, see some of them on the first and the last picture of this post.

I had the chance to watch a game of Gaslands for some minutes because this game is on my watchlist since it was published. I like the idea of cars battling each other in a post apocalyptic world. Maybe I will organise a session when I have the ruleset.
I like the idea that only the rules and templates are needed, you will have to build your own car from an 1:64 Hot Wheels or Matchbox car for this game.

That is all for this years Tactica. Since I have much more time in the next weeks than in the weeks before, in the next days I will continue the closer looks at some "TANKS The Modern Age" expansions, a first post is almost finished, and I built an M163 and an M901 from one box, resulting in a future post about bitsrecycling without the 3D printer.

Tactica 2019 Pictures (1)

Pictures of the Hamburg Tactica 2019. I knew that some of the pictures I made were bad, but that more than the half of the 150 pictures I took were messed up, was a bad surprise for me. At least the picture of my Sith initiation was alright.

Seems that I should get a besser camera for the next Tactica or maybe use my mobile, here are the "best" pictures I made:

AGGRO, the 70ies football skirmish rules, was there just like last year. This time with a new demotable. You can find the AGGRO group at www.facebook.com/groups/AggroSkirmish. Seems that version 2.0 will come this year.

This reminds me, that I have to finish my Aggro minis which I picked up at last years Tactica.

The custom cards in the last picture may be available soon, but I have no further details about that.

The Perry brothers were also at the Tactica just like in the last years. It was pretty fascinating seeing Michael Perry at sculpting, he is a true artist.

Brother Vinnie was there to sell his minis. Did you know that he is sculpting the minis by himself ? As I wrote last year, seeing the minis with my own eyes is a big difference compared to pictures which can be found in the web.

This may be not safe for work.

A pretty nice Star Trek gaming table. A Klingon raiding party storms some kind of habitat. On the last picture you can see Dr. Crusher, Geordie LaForge and a generic redshirt, we know who of them will not get out alive.

The last picture of this post shows the miniatures which are available from the Wargames Illustrated magazine. They offer a fine selection of fictional characters from movies and historical personalities.

The next post will be a closer look at one of the "TANKS The Modern Age" expansions I got from the Tactica, more Tactica pictures will come after that.

Then I will upload pictures of the WW2 Kampfgruppe gametable, some Star Wars stuff, a big 40k table, some more Star Wars stuff and other pictures.
