You probably want a couple of heavy knights to keep Danomar company - he just looks lonely towering over his subordinates otherwise...

I'm not at all sure about official release dates from HF just yet. They'll be on limited release from me for a while (or any time really), then I'll trickle the full releases out over the next few months.

The laden enuk is a bit of a random release for this year. As with the trader he may well eventually get a full release, but he'll be a fairly long way down the list so I recommend you snap him up if you want him 
The belan will also be somewhat limited - initially at least.

But, but .... ? are they done yet? - or are you suggesting some kind of conversion??? - oh no

All fine by me - just tell me where, when and how

Got the Trader from you last year, so no worries there. Belan is an interesting piece, but looks 'naked' right now, so I'll wait and see if a packed version should show up a bit later this year

Yup, the heavy cavalry (knights of relan) are cast and ready to go. Didn't I mention them? I knew I'd forget something!

I've spent this evening converting one of the belan to carry luggage. This one will just get painted, but it's good practice for doing a proper one after salute!

Earlier today I finished another draft of the book. Ive asked a few friends to review, but it's all looking set for going to the printers early next week.

If you need any additional proofreading, feel free to pass a copy my way. 

Do the Knights of Relan, the Belan, the Kal Gush, and the mounted herders have rules yet, and if not how open is the suggestion box?

[Carcharoth]

The Knights of Relan have rules, as do the basic mounted herders. The Belan will have play test rules for salute (seen as it'll be a centrepiece for the game). The Kal gush and herder specialists are more open to suggestions. I've had some thoughts on fire effects, but it's a case of not letting them get too complicated!

[Carcharoth]

After rather a lot of writing, rewriting, drawing, editting, playtesting and formatting, the rulebook has now gone to the printers. That's a relief.

Next up is finalising the prices and deals for Salute. Then I can start to worry about leaflets, posters and reference materials for the day...

[Brandlin]

Pah, that's nothing to worry about!

Sooooooooo far behind.

Don't stress, yet Still .. (counting, counting) .. 8 days left   

[Carcharoth]

Aaaand we're ready...

Phew...

Tired now...

See you tomorrow! 

[clam]

Have a great show, Mike and all the rest of you that's going. I envy you this chance i life - but luckily I'll have my little "taste" of Salute in the post the coming week or two.

And to those who is going. Someone, please bring a camera, so we can see Mike being busy - and see the awesome gaming table being used.

Cheers 

[Geckilian]

I'll br bringing a camera with me, so rest assured, you'll get at least one blurry photo of the gaming table partly onscured by people crowding round it.

[clam]

Blurry is better than nothing, right? And, as I already told Mike, feel free emailing them to me during the day (smart phone pictures that is) - and I'll - happily - post them in here. Can't do much these days, just laying still most of day/night, so will have plenty of time for that.

[Carcharoth]

Ouch it's early, especially after being awake most of the night thinking through what i might have forgotten!

Very excited... 

[Geckilian]

Ditto, about the leave the house. Looking forwad to it, with (literally) a whole suitcase of stuff for the bring and buy!

[Emberbreeze]

Great Event, I've got photos of the big game to process and upload. Will make sure they're up tomorrow.
