Rejects in the queue

Had a great day out last Sunday at SELWG, most of the Rejects attended, the show unfortunately did seem to be down in numbers, both traders and visitors, which is a shame because its a damned good show. For once we didn't eat our grub watching Waterpolo, Ian must have been feeling ill, because he bought us all lunch!!!!!
I spent most of my time chatting to other gamers and bloggers, including Tamsin, Kawe, Simon Miller, Alan Abbey & Steve n Steve

SELWG 2014 Swag



Most of Posties Rejects (Me, Fran, Postie, Ian, BigLee, Richard and posse and Clint) made the long drive up the A2 to Crystal Palace for SELWG today. I for one enjoyed the show, although it did seem to have fewer traders and visitors than normal. There also looked to be a few demo games missing??
 I did spend some of my hard earned dosh on the collection of bits and bobs above and below, they have already been sent to my big lead pile, I'm hoping to get a lick of paint on them one day????
They're a bit of a motley collection, all for my Donnybrook shenanigans, if I ever get the project rolling again that is! I bought the Last of the Mohican blister from Warlord Games, mainly for the lovely ladies enclosed. Pack MA29 from Perry's newish Crusader range Muslim Civvies, Thanks to r.a.e. gingerbhoy for sending me their way!!! Two bits of scenery to hide behind from Col Bill's, Ainsty Castings barrels and the collection of single figures are from Parkfield Miniatures I bought 1 each from there  Kentish and Cornish Smuggler range, most will be used a civvies for Donnybrook!!
Lastly £20 worth of Palm trees from Products for Wargamers. I may have to buy a few more me thinks???


Wonder who was supposed to be there?


Pics of the show will follow soon......
