For a change, when I rummaged through my bags of loot I picked up at this years Salute, I was very surprised at how much there was!! (That never usually happens???)
So firstly was my Salute Goody bag, the Saladin figure, some Dwarf figures, some very handy magnetic bases from Warmag and another base, I've not really delved into what it is yet?
And in no particular order...
From Products For Wargamers, two large ponds, a small pond and some counters.
All of these will be snowified, for the Retreat from Moscow and the Winter War.
A mix of figures for Jason and the Argonauts, from Wargames Foundry, Crooked Dice and Fenris. From Warlord, some Bolt Action dice, (£18 for dice!!, my heart bleeds!) and artillery markers and some free Konflikt 49 sprues. Paints from Sheppey Models and 15mm Ottoman tents form Debris of War.
The Campaign Book, Chronicles of Midgard
I've got the rules already and am seriously thinking about buying 2 armies to paint up!
Hmm???
Stream/River sections from The Last Valley and a few bridges, once again these will snowified!
And finally I picked up a pre-order of some magnetic bases from Warbases and a strip of Green Stuff!!
So this lot should keep me bust for the foreseeable future, especially if you add all the other stuff I have in my leadpile.

And lastly a rather small Blogger Meet up was held at 1 o'clock, which was a shame, but thanks to all the guys who made it.
See you all at Salute 54!!!!
A very decent haul of goodies Ray and all very useful too!
ReplyDeleteI thought so too!
DeleteAt least nine of you made it.
ReplyDeleteAt one time there were about 20 bloggers who'd come along.
DeleteWhat a fantastic goodies!!
ReplyDeleteCool eh?
DeleteGood to see you Ray, one of my highlights of the day. Nice haul, I couldn't find Vallejo paints, you must have looked harder than me 😁. Can I borrow the photo of us all please?
ReplyDeleteWas great to meet up again Andy, I struggled finding Vallejo myself!! All the ones I wanted had already gone though. And yes of course pinch the picture. Drop me over your mobile number, on the contact form on the left of my blog.
DeleteA large pile of loot but a small blogger meet up. Where was everybody?
ReplyDeleteI did see plenty of other bloggers throughout the day, its a shame they didnt attend the meet up.
DeleteA good shopping basket, but £18 for dice?! That's put me right off 'Bolt Action'!
ReplyDeleteSorry I couldn't be there (diary clash) or I would have joined the bloggers. Maybe see you at Partizan and/or Broadside..
It hurt David. £18 is taking the pi55! We will be at borh Partizan and Broadside. Hopefully see you at both.
DeleteNice haul, Ray. A new project... I shouldn't be surprised anymore.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised either Rich? Its a drug, don't ya know!
DeleteI'm always interested in your purchases are there are usually one or two suppliers in there I haven't heard of before.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence. You never know, you might be placing an order soon?
DeleteSome nice loot there mate but £18 dice are something you won't ever see on my blog!!
ReplyDeleteI know. I did wanna by 2 sets, but it hurt buying 1 set!
DeleteGot to fill that Salute Goody Bag Ray!
ReplyDelete£18 for the dice is fine. I assume they are hand carved from pieces of the West Wall or Maginot Line, etc. 😂
Lol, gold embosed as well!
DeleteThat's a decent haul of goodies, though I feel your pain at £18 for dice
ReplyDeleteIt hurt......a lot!
DeleteIt's funny how that happens, Ray. You just go for a nice day out and somehow your bag gets full before you go home...
ReplyDeleteI know? I don't know what happened?
DeleteLooks a decent stash Ray . Maybe see who is going to Partizan ?
ReplyDeleteYeh, perhaps?
DeleteGood haul Ray. I couldn't make it to Salute this year but hadn't spotted anything in advance about the blogger meet up. Maybe needs a bigger shout out in advance??
ReplyDeleteYeh, I did leave the call a little late this time round.
DeleteGreat looking loot, and glad you all had a great time. Our local "big" con us next month. Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteHave fun Dean. I know you will!
DeleteVery moderate haul for you! Of course you need two armies for Midgard, what will they be? I didnt think Postie was that keen on blogs so ,even less for the bloggers meet up!?
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Postie loves the blogger meet ups. Everyone knows him and he has no clue who anyone is? He's not onlibe at all!
