As usual there were the usual giveaways in the Salute bag. This year a nice Steampunk figure and a pair of figures from a company called Maelstrom's Edge (me neither...).
My main purchase was a copy of Star Wars Rebellion...I'd spotted several stalls selling this for a variety of prices but when I came across a set at £55 I decided that was going to be the best price I'd get. I then had the dilemma of striking quickly and buying a copy (I've been caught out before, delaying picking something up and then finding it's sold out) vs having to lug around a fairly hefty and bulky box. I went back to the Dice Shop Online stall and saw they only had a few copies left on display, and one of them was making it's way to another customer so that clinched it....
I bought a few packs of bombers from the Ironclad Miniatures VBCW range of armed miners (which will hopefully end up looking something like this)...

...some bases from Minibits, and a Frostgrave Thief and Barbarian (very Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser) stocked at Bad Squiddo games. I had a look at their female Soviet troops which would be good fodder for VBCW games and the new range of female ogres which looked good too, but resisted buying anything .
My final figure was from Eureka Miniatures...in exchange for saying "G'day" I got a free kangaroo! No idea what I'm going to do with it but I couldn't resist a freebie....
Buckie, I like it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a reasonable haul Alastair :)
ReplyDeleteNice haul. Rebellion is on my wishlist...but then Imperial Assault is still on there, too.
ReplyDeleteSo far I've opened the box, had a look at it and put it all back again...There's a lot stuff in there! I'm hoping to rope in
Deletemy son for a test game.
