The best laid plans and all that…

…but more of that a little later.   The first thing for today is that all-important order number, which this week has reached #33885. 

If all had gone to plan this week, I should now be announcing the release of our first new range of figures for 2026.  However, Andrew the mould maker has not been able to get in, foiled by a combination of bad weather and a bit of ill health.   As a result, the final two moulds for the range have yet to be pressed.  and as a result of that, the Big Reveal will have to wait until next week.

However, in response to requests received, I can list what will be in the range so plans can be made and lists compiled. So here in all their glory are the warriors of Assyria.

Back to work for Baccus

Welcome to the first Baccus post of 2026!   We’ve dived straight into things with the casting goblins working their hangovers off with some healthy ladling activity.  Sadly, the inclement weather in our part of the world forced one of the team to remain in his hovel, so we weren’t quite at full strength for the whole week.  As a result the first magic number of the year is #33751.

Wot we get planned for 2026

This is the section that attempts to balance boundless optimism with soul-crushing realism.   Which aspect will prevail in the next 12 months  Read on and place your bets...

Goblins on holiday

As I walked into the casting room as I was met with the usual melange of fetid odours that pervaded that benighted chamber of despair.  It was a combination of the foul scent of overheated metal, a whiff of overworked casting goblin and the stench of the loss of all hope and ambition.

‘Good to see you Boss!’ shouted the head goblin as he shambled over to me, ‘And all the best wishes for the Season’. 

 ‘Enough of that you buffoon!’ I replied, ‘What of this week’s order number?;

‘We got to number #33662.   ‘Did the team do good? 

It’s getting closer to THAT time of year..

...and don’t we all know it!   Here at Baccus, we know that the Big Day is nearing when we prepare for the final show of the year – Recon, but more of that later.  For the moment, it’s magic order number time, which this week stands at #33550.

Book your games in to the Joy of Six 2026!

We are delighted to announce that we are now able to take bookings for games and trade stands for the Joy of Six 2026.

JOS 26 will take place on Sunday June 28th.   As usual, it will be held at Sheffield Hallam University and will aim to showcase the very best that wargaming in general, and 6mm gaming in particular can offer.

Now get those holidays, hotels and travel arrangements booked for the best weekend in the wargames calendar!

Another week, and yes, another Baccus update.

Once again the days have rolled around to Friday, so with the inevitably of yet another week without a lottery Jackpot win, here is the Baccus update and the magic number, which this week is #33440.  That’s over 200 since our last update, so we aren’t hanging around.

Given the punishing timetable of show attendance that the Autumn months we tend to focus simply on getting orders turned around and stock levels maintained rather than making new releases available.  It’s not that development isn’t happening, it’s just that it’s not prioritised. However…

Coming soon to a Baccus shopping cart near you.

Hi All,

It’s Friday, so it’s time for the weekly Baccus update.  We will kick off with the ever-popular Baccus weekly order number update, which this week stands at #33231. 

So…what’s happening with Baccus?  Well quite a bit actually.
