The Rejects had a brilliant day out at Warfare last Sunday, Thanks to all the guys who made the show a success, we'll be back again next year for sure!!!
Myself, Lee, Steve and Postie drove down in one car, Colin made his own way down, but we didn't meet up with him till 1 o'clock, we kept missing each others calls. I as usual spent a tad more than planned, more on that later. We met up with loads of friends, some who you will see below.
Anyway on with the pics!!
Steve looking very happy for himself in the queue
Not 5 minutes into entering the show, we met Mike and Bernt from Germany. Mike mentioned his blog, but I can't remember the name of it?? (sorry Mike)

3 Rejects bought some bits and bobs from the great stand run by Ironclad Miniatures. The lady (sorry I don't know your name) really didn't want to be in the pic, do you think she's rubbing her hands together thinking of all the cash waiting to be handed over?

What a thing of beauty this game is, I had a quick chat with Joe, what a great guy. I love the bucket full of debris that is placed all over the terrain, making it look so busy. He bought a small hoover with him to clean up after the game!!
