My Salute Loot

So my Salute purchases this year were pretty modest (honest dear)...

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)...

VBCW04
Looks like his bottle of Buckfast has spontaneously combusted...

...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....

  2. Nice haul. Rebellion is on my wishlist...but then Imperial Assault is still on there, too.

    1. So 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
      my son for a test game.
