Gaming Swap Meet

Yesterday, John and I went to the Great Escape Games gaming swap meet in Sacramento. They have a great venue for gaming, and lots and lots of space. I highly recommend them if you are in the area.

I picked up a huge quantity of neat bases from Secret Weapon Miniatures that hadn't passed their quality assurance tests (they are amazingly rigorous in their QA, by the way). They were very cheap, and I enjoyed talking to their VP who was there manning the booth.

They were $0.10 to $2.00 each!

I ended up talking with him for a while, talking about the pros and cons of some of their design choices. It was a rather interesting discussion. If you want to stop by their blog, here is the link.

We also some some very well painted Tyranids in a very rich brown scheme (sorry, I didn't take a picture, I appreciated the art too much!) and some very interesting design ideas for some other Tyranids. I saw some Zoanthropes with Warrior heads and back fins that looked very cool, and some other 'nids that were painted to look like the Aliens from AVP which were black with neon green ichor.

I also picked up another box of Mawloc parts because it was untouched and on sale for 35% off. Who doesn't need more monstrous creature parts, after all?

Happy Modding!
