Salute Surprises?
« on: March 11, 2015, 11:48:06 AM »
So, what is it that you're after this coming Salute?

Usually there are a few surprises tucked away by various manufacturers but there seems to be very little this year......

The two I know of:

Gripping Beast Arab (Light and Heavy?) Plastic Cavalry.

Perry Miniatures 'Light' Late 15th Century Cavalry.

Anyone got anything to add?

Darrell.

Well I am hopeful that Scarab Miniatures will have their Mark V* tank available  :)

For those who don’t know this was a stretched version of the Mark V British tank.

Been looking forward to getting my hands on some of these for a while now.

The Gripping Beast cavalry is already high on the wanted list, but I hope to find some more as well.

I hope Curteys has some more Arthurians (cavalry?) out, but they seem to be stuck in the Medieval period now.

I hope Warfare Miniatures has the first GNW Russians ready. Their Swedes are simply superb and I'm totally sold on this range.

Would like to find a (printed) copy of Songs Of Drums And Tomahawks. Come to think of it maybe it will be at WarCon next week!

Footsore Miniatures isn't at Salute (sniff)

And you never know. Perhaps someone will see the light and surprise me with with a 15th C East Roman range or even better some Nationalist and Republican infantry in 28mm.




Panic, Chaos and Disorder. My job here is done

That's a bit of a bummer, I was hoping to pick up some of their Late Saxons for next year as we (Lance and Longbow Society) are doing wait for it.... Hastings!

That would certainly put a big smile on my face..... and if they were to do the Ottomans too!!  8) 8) 8)

Our group has started playing a lot of skirmish games such as Pulp Alley, One Page Kill Team, 7TV...

It will be nice being able to rummage through boxes of loose figures looking for "characters".

I don't know how much I'm allowed to reveal - but all I can say is that 'The Dice Bag Lady' is getting herself into a brand new bag. Very much worth seeking her out I'd say.

I think Footsore are there, on the Warlord Games stand.

I haven't mentioned this anywhere before, but Osprey Games may be showing off the first North Star Figures/ Osprey Games plastic figures we're releasing in July. I think I'll be on their stand in the morning to chat about them.

Wargames Emporium will have all the new 2nd Afghan War figures from Artizan Design, and lots of Pulp Figures. I'm also planning to give them some stock of the Cigar Box Battles mats if you wanted to see what they are like.

Now that is news - thanks Nick.

Any hints on period / subject matter for this new plastic venture?

And whether they're 'trad' sculpts (yay!) or CAD renders (boo!)  ;)
