Rejects on Tour - SELWG 2015




On Sunday Rejects Surj, Ian, Postie and myself drove up to Crystal Palace for our annul trip to SELWG.
I bought a few bits and bobs during the day, I'll show off my new shinies later in the week. I ended up with a sore throat at the end of the day, I did more chatting than buying!
Also, I got to try out my new camera, well its actually my mobile, but its got a better camera than my actual camera??? So hence the funny shaped pics!


The Queue


A Reject hug
Surg, Ian & Postie


The main hall, we got in early, it got a lot busier than this.


Just in the door and we met fellow Rejects, BigLee, Clint,
little Miss BigLee (Padwan Emily) and Tamsin.
I also met up with a few other Bloggers througout the day, Alastair from A Wargaming Gallimaufry, Al from The Wargaming Shed and Steve, partner in crime of Steve from The NorseyGamer


A waited a few hours to take pics of the games to get some action shots.
The first game and my personal favorite was from

The Bring & Buy, quite late in the day


I bought a few bits & bobs from Parkfield, then Postie came along, flipped 
open his fat wallet....bang goes £130! 
Posties list had a few old figure codes, Poor Simon, was getting a little flustered !
And no he doesn't take credit cards!

    Some really good looking games on show there, especially like the WW I game for its sheer size and the fact that is was 6mm. Good report, ta for sharing.

    I agree with you - Waterloo (but possibly Nantwich) would be my favourite too... what on earth was Postie spending £130 on?? :o))

      The Nantwich game was very nice but Waterloo beat it. Postie was topping up his 25mm South American Wars of Independence, He boughet loads a few years ago, but has still to put a lick of paint on any of them.
