Dystopian Wars Airfield Set

This set contains three medium-sized hangers, two zeppelin towers and one communications building.

This was very much an impulse buy, but I was inspired recently by some Dystopian Wars pictures that I recently posted to the blog.

As with virtually all Dystopian Wars castings these are very clean and no flash.

Building Comparisons

As you are no doubt aware, Battlefront have been releasing some new buildings for Flames of War.

Calais House

As I already have the 15mm Total Battle Miniatures ruins in my collection I was intrigued to see how they compared to the new French buildings from Battlefront for Flames of War. One thing I have found is that when a manufacturer says 15mm this may not always be the same 15mm that another company uses.

Here are a series of photographs of the Calais House next to various 15mm ruins from Total Battle Miniatures.

As you can see they do fit in quite well.

Here is the Calais House compared to the ruins from the Jagdpanther boxed set.

Time to get painting the ruins methinks.

Dreadfleet

In the display cabinets at Warhammer World was a set of Dreadfleet.

These are really nicely painted models. I did quite like the concept of Dreadfleet, however I didn’t get a copy. It reminded me very much of Man O War, a game I did buy but only played a few times.

I think if I was going to to play a fantasy naval game I would go with Spartan Games and Uncharted Seas.

Ultramarines Life Size Rhino

Just outside Warhammer World in the car park is the full size Rhino that was originally used as a promotional piece for the THQ Dawn of War video game.

THQ gave the Rhino to Games Workshop who then gave it a repaint in Ultramarines colours.
