So now my feet have just about recovered from a day at Salute (18km according to my Garmin, but that includes some dog walking), what did I come home with?
My main purchase was the new starter set for the Guards of Traitor's Toll. This is a 'semi-cooperative' game with players controlling city watch officers and tackling different missions... it seems to have a Terry Pratchett Nightwatch feel and comes from the same stable as Test of Honour. These seemed to be selling like hotcakes, as did the new Baron's War starter set. More on this once I've had a chance to look through it all.

| It's a well packed box! |
 |
| 36 miniatures with a lot of bits to customise them |
 |
| Inevitably, special dice... |
I also decided to nab a 3'x3' mat from Deep.Cut Studios... a lot of the smaller skirmishy games I play use this size playing area so this should be handy
And a book, but I was picking this up for a friend...
And that was it. In the Salute bag was the usual freebie figure... in this case a Napoleonic one, a dice, and a free sprue from the Quar range from Wargames Atlantic. These are alien figures which look like a cross between a mole, an anteater and a Clanger. I've eyed these up a few times and liked the look of the painted figures on display. I was gifted someone else's sprue as well as they didn't want theirs so I should be able make about 6 Quar... I have a horrible feeling this is a slippery slope!

Most interesting purchases. I am tempted by the City Guard game so l will be interested to see how it plays. I am also considering a 3 by 3 mat currently. This is spooky…
ReplyDeleteI got the Quar set some time ago, didn’t particularly like the rules in it so didint proceed to paint them. The Quar are wonderfully whimsical and people 3d print or buy some fascinating figures. Beware l think they are a black hole ready to suck you in… This chap does great things with Quar-

I've got both a 3x3 and a 4x4 mat as I play a lot of smaller games. Somehow it seems easier than just folding a larger mat down!
ReplyDeleteI play so many games on this size area, so it made sense and the Deep Cut mats are really nice
ReplyDeleteNice loot haul :)
ReplyDeleteI was relatively restrained! No random purchases of stuff I don't need (for once!)
DeleteTwo sprues of quar is a dangerous gateway, particularly as there are something like 6 more boxes coming out in the next few months so something is bound to catch your fancy...
