First 1700 through the door get our version of the Antwerp Legend : Brabo.
Brabo was a Roman officer who picked a fight with the giant bully Druon Antigoon, who demanded toll to pass Antwerp on the river Scheldt. If you refused to pay (or couldn't) he chopped of a hand. Of course as all of these stories Brabo won and cut of the hand of the giant, he then threw the hand in the river hence 'Antwerpen' = to throw a hand. A rather 'naked' version which is on the Grand place in the city was not withheld and we went for a more usefull version of a Roman officer which was tired after the battle (and the handcutting)

BTW, before anybody says anything about my poor English, it is deliberate. I know it should read sneak preview.

Favourite show of the year :)

Wouldn't miss it for the world! 8)

It's the only large show I am able to attend (next to the smaller Poldercon), so I'm already counting down...

And the Brabo mini is particularly nice; count on me standing in line early (as if I don't do that every year :D )

The new Albedo Miniatures in particular are proving very popular, so although we will have a good stock of them with us we would advise pre-ordering to avoid disappointment. The Albedo Miniatures game is currently live on Kick Starter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/179272384/albedo-combat-patrol-the-28mm-sci-fi-miniatures-ga (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/179272384/albedo-combat-patrol-the-28mm-sci-fi-miniatures-ga)) and we will be running participation games at both shows.
Sally 4th is the official show stockist for Lucid Eye. We will have their complete product range with us.
Ann & I look forward to seeing you at the show.

I'll be there as Bad Squiddo Games!

We specialise in 28mm female miniatures - with their kit on! Shock horror!

We also stock the largest collection of female minis in the world BUT won't have these at the show due to space constraints (we're coming in a car this time so space is tight) Still got about a day if you want to pre order anything else (Statuesque Heads etc)

We're in Hall 1 behind the Foundry behemoth.

All the new shieldmaidens will be there! Yay!

We'll also be plugging the current Kickstarter which ends Sunday, so you can see them in the flesh on the day if you're stuck on the fence!

Do come say hello (or even better - buy stuff!)

Looking forward to seeing you all,

Annie

Post by: petercooman123 on November 01, 2018, 07:14:07 PM
Ha i have 2 left from last year.

I did the entry + drink tokens deal last year, and then dumped the tokens in my goodie bag to go to the traders. Must have missed a few as there were still 2 in the goodie bag when i unpacked at home  lol

Getting exited now, Already sent an email to Dave Thomas for some stuff, so i'm already down well over 100€ before i even get there  ;D

What will you guys be getting? I have my shopping list all written down:

-lots of perry stuff
-some paints and flock/static grass
-some sarissa buildings
-studio miniatures german zombies
-the great war french expansion and tanks
-some scenery stuff from ainsty
-pirates from black scorpion miniatures (just like last year)
-the new LOTR starter set if i can find one for a good price
-some bases


Looks like it will be another costly edition!

Turned out to be a great but very expensive crisis!

Got most of the ainsty stuff i wanted through nano strategie.de so turned out good!

Biggest purchases were lots of scenery items. Apart from perry blisters and some studio miniatures almost 75% of my purchases were scenery items!
