First post of the year - Desert defences.

First post of the year and as the news tells me we can expect a weather bomb due to Storm Goretti and with snow outside.... the perfect time to throw up some trenches for the Western Desert.

Having been gaming for over 35 years, it's inevitable that as some point long and trusted traders would likely be looking to get out and retire. December saw John over at Ironclad Miniatures decide to call it a day.

Great news they have been saved and sold on to Leon over at Pendraken.. John held a retirement sale - just the excuse I needed to grab a few more trenches to help bolster the Vichy defences for Operation Exporter or perhaps Torch?

Great castings and the prefect balance between playability and sculpts.




Not a bad start for 2026.

  2. We escaped any of the effects of the weather bomb, with it just being a bit more windy and some rain, but nothing out of the ordinary. Hope you guys are all OK this morning? Good to see the range continuing with Pendraken and always good to be able to pick up some bits in a sale too:).
