Tanks Modern Age

 With the announcement of the new World of Tanks Game being released (seems to be Tanks but re branded) and no word of  Modern Age being included. My local shop (Rogue Wargaming) has put its Tanks stock on sale (£3 a tank!). I popped in and grabbed a Chieftain tank and a Striker for my British. This gives me a small but decent force for both my Brits and Russians..

British Forces

My British force now contains 

3 Chieftains 

1 Scimitar

1 Striker

1 Lynx Helicopter

The newest Chieftain I painted last night and I'm super happy with it. Also tried  a way to take pictures, using lots of white backgrounds.

Super happy with the greens on this camouflage. 

Russian Forces

4 T-64s

1 BMP

1 Hind Helicopter 

4 tanks and an APC give it a nice punch plus the Hind is an absolute beast!!!. 

These forces should be enough for me and my sons to have a few good battles! 

Pokemon Battle Academy

Not been any model purchases for a while but my oldest has taken quite a shine to pokemon Tcg. Recently I saw  Pokemon Battle Academy advertised to be released on the 1st August.  

The box contained a battle matt and 3 decks all for £22! A single deck costs £13 so 3 decks for £22 is quite a deal. As a bonus the decks are a Pikachu deck, charizard deck and a mewtwo deck. Charizard is my all time favourite pokemon so I'm having that deck and my oldest is fascinated by Mewtwo so he'll be having that.

More health counters and a new coin for flipping as well also came in the box.  The battle mat really surprised me as I assumed it would be paper but no. It's a hard board that folds up. A lot more sturdy!

The rule books are really clear and go through everything step by step. 

All in all this is a great purchase if you are looking at getting into the game!
