Hammerhead 2025

An awayday and a bit as five of us stayed over on Friday night in Newark before the show. We turned up at Friday lunchtime and spent most of the afternoon and evening boardgaming. Saturday was bright and sunny and we headed off to the show getting in quite early, and headed off to the table sale. We then acquired three mats for the Beacon club so I took them back to my car before settling down to a tour of the traders and then the games.

None of the participation games tempted me this year but I did like the terrain on a few of the tables, starting with this 10mm Kelly's Heroes game - spot the tigers!

I was then struck by this small village set in one corner of a Midguard game

I did like the simplicity of the river edges used in the Boondock Sayntes fantasy game

Then I spotted the longhouse

And another building. Thanks to Graham from the Sayntes they are the modified version of the Games Workshop Rohan house or Stronghold set.

Another Midguard games set in the Trojan War

Finally the excellent terrain for this Zombie games the same as I saw back at Recon in 2022 (link)

I only succumbed to two purchases during the show and picked up a box of Roman Citizens for Gangs of Rome, which should go with my gladiators to give me another skirmish game option, and a sample box of HaT Napoleonic British Peninsula Cavalry.

Overall a great weekend and spent lots of time chatting to old friends
