SELWG 2012 - a few pics


As you may already know some of the Rejects made it to SELWG at Crystal Palace last Sunday, I'm a little late getting this post out mainly because of the dice post, so your all probably as sick of SELWG pics as me,  so knows your chance to click away before I bore you all to tears!!!

You can take a look at the pics below &/or click this link and view them and others in an album.


BigLee looking 9 months gone, arch that back and  rub that tummy Lee, 
Postie, Fran, Clint and Dave Crook.


A view from the balcony!



In my opinion THE game of the show was this one, from Chris Thompson and Mark Sturmey
The Battle of San Targarotto, the First Carlist War, 1837.
Superb terrain and superb figures!








Another excellent game was by Crawley Wargame Club, who actually won the
 best at show prize for their WWII game Brave Little Belgium








Streatham and Tooting Wargamers
Yom Kippur War 1973


The Society of Ancients, The Battle of Trebbia 218BC


The First Battle of Otford 775AD

Reject Dice Giveaway - And the Winners Are........



Well the day has finally arrived
The Reject Ray Dice Giveaway is here!!
The crowds are gathering outside of Reject HQ,  cheering and waving banners see below!


Not quite sure why they're all women? and not a blogger insight either, 
but hey who's complaining!

101 Gamers and Bloggers entered the draw, but there could be only 3.
Names were written on special gold edged paper
then drawn out of the specially unique receptacle, henceforth known as
the Flavia Cup!



 A big fat meaty paw was inserted into the Flavia Cup, yes it was Fran's


And the 1st place winner of 10 Posties Rejects dice was Thanos from


The meaty paw descended once more for 2nd place and 5 Reject dice 
Fran pulled out PK himself Mr PanzerKaput


For the last time that same giant paw pulled out Chris (Axebreaker), 
who wins the last 5 reject dice!

So we have our winners, Congrats to Thanos, PK and Chris!!!
A big thanks to all who entered and commented and who continue to 
comment on my little piece of the web.

SELWG & I'm a winner! Twice!



4 members of Posties Rejects will be on a tour of duty  to SELWG on Sunday, myself, Fran, Postie, will be driving up the A2 to Crystal Palace along with Clint, from Anything but a one, who's coming along for the ride, I forgot to tell him I've got a small car, but there's there's plenty of room in the boot, so he should be fine for the trip up there, but he may well be in trouble for a ride home after Posties does his usual and fills it up with wargaming goodies. And there's also the McDonald's or Burger King that Clint's got to buy us all as well, forgot to mention that as well??? Rich Reject BigLee the 4th Reject will meet us there, as he's from the wrong side of the river.
I've not got a list, just need to pick up some paints and brushes, maybe have a quick look at the bring and buy, you never know your luck!!
If you see any of us, say hello, we've got a bet on to see who gets the most hello's, during the show, now I've got to warn you about Fran, (The Angry Lurker), the money grabbing ba$terd nicked all the overtime at work this month and guess who's on nights on Saturday and is only going to have only 2 hours sleep before the show!!! he he!! 
Can you hear them violins anyone??? Poor Fran, I won't rub it in too much..........ok I probably will??
 I've been trying to persuade Fran to wear his Rejects T-shirt, like me and Postie, but he's still not washed it from the last time he wore it, the dirty sod, I hope he's not been cleaning his brushes with it!

Spot the Reject, Fran, Postie and BigLee



On a very happier note, recently I was lucky enough to win two, yes two Blog competitions, the first from Chris over on Wargamer's Odds and Ends, where I've won a Squad of Morroccan SCW troops from Peter Pig Miniatures.
Check out Chris' blog, he's recently been painting up 15mm Romano brits for the new Dux Britanarium rules.







The second prize was from Sean's Wargaming Corner, where I've won a PDF and a hard copy of All Things Zombie, Final Fade Out, wargaming rules!!!!!
If you haven't already check out Sean's blog, he's been trying to help me add a fold effect to all my flags, but he's flogging a dead horse, I just can't work it out!!!!






Lastly its still not to late to enter Fran and my Posties Reject dice giveaway's, so if you missed them here's a link to each one.

Mine - Don't throw a 1 Givaway
Fran - The Angry Lurker Giveaway

Have a great weekend everyone and maybe see you at SELWG!
