Victoria Miniatures at Salute 2013

Pre-orders now open for Salute 2013.

This year Victoria Miniatures will be available at Salute on a pre-order basis. Simply enter the code: SALUTE when placing your order and you will be able to pick up your miniatures directly from the Eureka Miniatures stand on the day (just present your name and order number). No postage charges, no customs charges.

Orders accepted until the end of March. All you have to do is put your order through as normal, when you get to the summary page there will be a box asking if you have discount codes etc. enter SALUTE there. This will stop any postage being added to the order.

Club night - 25 March 2013

It's good to wander round the club every so often; sometimes you get to see something different. This week, as well as the usual WW2 and 40k fare, there was a game of Dust Tactics going on; great looking figures, some Bloodbowl and a bit of Magic:The Gathering. Salute is close, but we still need to play a few games before then.

Dust Tactics

I love the walkers

Grey Knights face off against Space Wolves

Golden Grey Knights

More 40k - more Grey Knights and some Dark Eldar

I think this was Bolt Action

This certainly was Bolt Action

Bolt Action dice in action... 

Bloodbowl Elves and Humans

Magic: The Gathering. 

Playtesting the Salute game - using small scale
figures so it fits the club tables more easily

Talos

Formula D - fifth race of the season, ten players

I scraped fourth place; deserved sixth but I'm not complaining

If anything takes you fancy, leave a comment - we are always looking for new members, so if you're in our neck of the woods and can get to Dulwich on a Monday evening, get in touch.

Bring and Buy at Salute 2013

I don't know about you, but I always seem to come home with more than I intended after Salute. If you want to get rid of some of your excess gaming paraphernalia, there's always the Bring and Buy stand run by our friends at the South East London Wargames Group. It's really helpful to them if you can download the form and complete it before you come - and of course, that means you can book in quicker and spend more time looking at the show!

SALUTE is a very busy show, and the bring and buy is unable to sell goods on your behalf that are not individually priced. Examples that the bring and buy cannot take and will treat as inappropriate are:

• Boxes containing a number of items at £1 each - the box must be priced as one item, with a price for all items contained in the box. 
• Individual priced items in one box - the individual items must be in individual containers/boxes or be able to be easily carried (eg. Books).

Blight Wheel Miniatures at Salute 2013

We have recently worked on a very different kind of miniature from our usual range, this time we are starting a range of reptilian mutants. The first model is an exclusive for our Salute 2013 customers. This Komodo Warrior has been bred and trained for war.

The promotional miniature will be offered to any customer placing a pre-order of 50€ or more on our web-store (please then enter the code "salute2013"). On the day, it will also be offered for purchases of £50 or more while stock lasts. It will not be possible to buy it separately, there is a limited stock and once it's gone, it's gone.

Regards
Laurent
Blight Wheel Miniatures team

Our own games at Salute 2013

This year we have two games at Salute - 'Fleeced!' and 'Hammers Slammers - Route 66'.


Fleeced! (Fantasy, 1/6 scale)
Jason & The Argonauts in a heroic quest for a new rug…
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the fabulous 1963 film version, the game represents the final climatic battle between Jason, plus two other Argonauts against the "Children of the Night" - demonic skeleton fighters grown from the Hydra's teeth. The Heroes must initially cover the escape of the fleece (off table) for the first few turns, before trying to make their own escape... The figures are all accurate "collector" models based on Ray Harryhausen's brilliant originals.

Hammers Slammers - Route 66
15mm Sci-Fi participation game using a "stripped down" version of the Hammer’s Slammers The Crucible Rules. We intend to have a maximum public involvement whilst retaining the feel of the original game. We are planning to simplify the rules for a ‘cinematic’ feel that will allow the players to try their hands at running a troop of the famous Hammer’s Slammers as they make their way from the Star port to Clyde City on Cullen’s World on Route 66!
