Great report, i just read through it. I like a lot of their boards set up, it's very inspirational. I wish i had a place big enough to make my own table like some of those. I particularly like the table from Freebooter's Fate and Wolsung.

What did you think to the resin buildings from the German company? the quality seemed quite good, did it have a price to match?

I think they are worth their money. For example their "tin shacks" look pretty good, and the walls are actually quite thick and sturdy. But when assembled and painted they look very well to scale.

Damn, this scenery would suits perfectly for a Necromunda table

Well I think most points are in the report:
  • Eden looks fantastic
  • Lots of laser-cut MDF
  • Lots of army-painter stuff
The amount of GW stuff is in decline in my opinion, and apart from Mantic, all sf & fantasy wargames there were skirmish games. Both Bushido and Freebooter don't look as fresh to me as they used to be a couple of years ago, in contrast to for example Wolsung and Eden, but that could be my personal opinion. In general I think there's more love for scenery as well, like the MDF and resin stuff.
