My new best friend Mr Crook has recently delighted and appalled me by ruthlessly culling his toy collection in order to create some space and in the process free up some loot for new projects.
Now I’m normally mister “never let it go” but room is getting a bit tight here at Broom Towers and I’ve begun to realise I’m holding on to a stash of all sorts of stuff that l’m not likely to ever use again.
Naturally I could just bung it on eBay or maybe into landfill but I thought I’d see if anyone who visits here wants to make me an offer on some of it first.
First up we have rule books:
Then we move onto my Baccus 6mm ECW lads. (I can no longer stand their reproachful stares when I open the cupboard). For Christ’s sake boys I’m all about 18mm these days - get over it!
As usual the photos on blogger refuse to appear in the order I wanted but basically they are all based on magnetised 2mm mdf in either 3x3cm or 6x3cm size. There are 10 regiments of foot, 1 pike heavy regiment of foot, 1x dismounted dragoons, 1x horse and holders for same, 2x forlorn hope, 2 x wagons / baggage train, 2x light cannon, 3 x saker, 2 x siege cannon, 8x four base, regiment of horse, 15x mounted officer bases, 20 plus wounded stands in 1x1 and 3x3cm.
Of course, the potential disposal of my entire 6mm force means I’ve little use for the following terrain items:
Can’t remember where the buildings are from but the hexes are Kalistra hexon slope tiles, unflocked but easily flockable... if you know what I mean. They are moderate slopes that are fine for 6mm but look a little too subtle for 15mm and above.
All reasonable offers (including postage) will be entertained.
If you’re personally not interested but know someone that might be, get them to drop me a line.
Cheers

Some great stuff going there JBM. Had I not started ECW in 15mm I would have had those 6mm's myself! A good place to post them if you don't get an offer here, (unlikely as that is), would be the Facebook 6mm wargaming group. Hope it all goes to a good home.
ReplyDeleteHi Lee, cheers for the pointer to the Facebook group, it’ll probably be them or maybe someone on the Baccus s forum? Shame to chuck em in the landfill, lol.
DeleteThat looks a ECW great starter pack for someone. If I didn’t already have a 10mm collection I’d be in like a (pike and) shot.
ReplyDeleteLol, yeah it’s be an easy starter set for someone. I suppose I could always keep them and be buried with them. It’d give the future TimeTeam something to mull over when they dig me up from under the West Wales spaceport toilet block.
DeleteSort of like the Terracotta Army?
Delete“Clearly these figurines represent the warriors that this great king led, and these little buildings are the lands that he ruled over. In the early 21st century, contrary to popular myths about drones and so-called ‘electronic warfare’, warriors still fought with pointy sticks.” “No I’m not so sure about that Carenza, you see I think they symbolise agricultural implements, and what we have here is a belief system centred around fertility rites.”
200 year old Phil Harding in his tight silver lurex future space clothes - and his dirty old hat. Still looking like a member of Jethro Tull. LMAO.
Delete😬
DeleteWell I was going to say good luck with the sale but tormenting a future time team sounds like the way to go?
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain, all gone now apart from the wee fellas.
