A trip to Wargames Foundry

After our trip to Warhammer World for the Open Day, I'd insisted on heading over to the new Wargames Foundry shop to have a nose around before heading home. I was very glad we went!


Foundry is owned by Bryan Ansell, who got a lot of old Warhammer figures when he left Game Workshop.


We caught up with Kev Adams while we were there - he heard us nosing around the shop and came out to say hello!


We did a bunch of shopping while we were there. "Mrs TRO" has a Secret Project she was looking for some very specific figures for. I was after a few random bits and pieces, which I've been intending to get for a while.


I haven't taken any pictures of the purchases, but hopefully they'll reach the top of the painting pile soon enough and you can see them then!


I was having a very Squat obsessed day, wasn't I?


 Mrs Ansell popped in to say hello and arrange to make us a mug of tea, which was much needed after the long weekend of talking to many, many gamers.


The lovely chap who was minding the shop that day showed me these wonderful cave painting style shields that he's painted. But I'm a terrible human being and forgot his name!


I noticed the block style Ork artwork on the side of this classif fort, too. There's a ton of cool stuff at Foundry, and it's well worth a visit!

    1. I know! I wish I'd taken more pictures! But I've seen a ton of other pictures on the web as I think everyone else who visits Foundry loves it too.

    1. Pretty much. All the old school!

      Or should that be Old Skool Kool?

    1. Yeah, while I was wandering down memory lane, I got mugged, and someone took my wallet. Still, got some figures out of it, though... ;-)
