Ugh... 5:15am is far far too early! Especially when I spent half the night thinking through what I might have forgotten. As usual, I'm excited and a bit terrified!
I'll try and post on this thread a few times today with updates etc so you can see how it's going...

I opted for the option of simply not sleeping. Got a train in 52 minutes, and my bags and case are packed. Quite looking forward to it really. Also finished that sculpt, sans a few tweaks. Meh, it's close enough.

Not many updates in this thread, but I've got back from Salute (20 minutes ago actually) and unpacked all my loot. Here's what I managed -
'A lot' of Twilight.
2 Warp Hunters and the Enforcer show model from Forge World.
Couple of really cheap GW things on the bring and buy - £38 instead of £139 rrp. Holy crap, that's a bit of a saving, especially as it was lovely metal and not finecast.
7 Mongoose Sky Surfers, 5 Eldar Howling Banshees, Jain Zar and a Warp Spider Exarch for £10 from the Mongood random bits bin, bargain. RRP would be £60-ish, though I'll need to dig in to the bits box to replace the banshee sword arms.
Maxmini evil heads or something - Blood Pact.
Heresy Wereturtle.
4 mini plush Cthulus.
That was it for me. As it was only my third Salute, the overall vibe was good, but it seemed far less busy. I didn't hear any announcement for the best games tables, or painting, or raffle. Rev managed to nab most innovative game for Shadows on Froth Street though, pretty nice trophy.

Twas a great day. More than a little tired now! Really good to see lots of people from the forum  Particular thanks to geckilian and tuffskull for looking after the game table for a while so some of our minions could have a break! I've got a few photos I'll post at some point... |

Who are you calling Minions Certainly not you - I don't have a death wish!  @megatron. I should have probably picked up a couple more rulebooks on my brief walk around the show - I would have quite liked to see all those you listed... I got distracted by Dropzone Commander. It's an upcoming 10mm scifi game. Very nicely designed and presented, but they didn't actually have anything available at salute... |

Photos! Sorry they are rather low quality... Early morning set-up was a somewhat chaotic affair...  Set-up was interrupted when Jules got herself arrested by Stormtroopers. They let her off in the end. Apparently she wasn't the girl they were looking for.  The final stand, all set up and being manned by Gill. If you look carefully you can see the prototype box sets and blister packs.  This is the only photo I took of the demo game - hopefully somebody else was more organised!  Steve, Martin, Ben and Paul did an excellent job manning the demo table (generously hosted by Hasslefree). They were also helped by Tuffskull and Geckilian, which was immensely useful! They had quite a few games playtesting a mixed force of Chris' and my Dhogu.    |

I spotted that Drop Zone Commander, it looked like a pretty swish lot of minis etc for a company that hasn't started selling yet. I got me a good bag of Twilight bits... Dhogu Special Patrol Dhogu Spear Unit 2 Dhogu Yirnak Riders 2 Devanu Kosoks Devanu Spear KalGush Bag of bits militia spears FW Umbra bolters x2 FW Heavy Weapons FW Contemptor Lascannon Some bases A Dragon from Bushido (I'm going to paint it up for our son Mael, born this year - year of the water dragon) Cathy (the wife ) picked up a Death from MicroArt which I should be painting ...I think that's about it but am a bit spaced out now so could have missed some bits, lol. Great to see the stall busy and I think you had one of the best stalls at the show! HN |
