Salute 2011 on TTGN
Zac at Tabletop Gaming News has created a tag to link to all Salute 2011 news articles on his site - http://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/tag/salute-2011. This will show all the news items he has posted from every trader... pretty useful. Almost as useful as our own Show Specials and Offers page - actually, it's got more pictures :)
See you on Saturday,

And we also have this from Beasts of War...
After a hectic few weeks, we've finally had time to arrange our trip to Salute this year. We're all really looking forward to it.
We were also planning to film some coverage of the event and perhaps grab a few interviews with some exhibitors, gamers and Warlords to give our viewers, unlucky enough not to be able to attend, an overview of the event and perhaps capture some of the atmosphere for them.

Salute 2011 - GZG
From Jon at GROUND ZERO GAMES (GZG): SALUTE NEWS AND INFO:
Those of you who are regular customers of ours will know that we've been having some major changes going on since the last SALUTE, with a move of workshop last year followed by the busiest Christmas period
we've ever experienced, and now we are in the middle of a complete re-working of our webstore (which is why we've been closed to mailorders since the beginning of March, more on this below).
The most important thing is that we WILL be at SALUTE! We're on stand TJ15, our usual spot on the central aisle not far from the Bring and Buy area. When you come in the main entrance, go straight ahead to
the Warlords info stand in the middle of the hall, then turn RIGHT. After all the changes and upheavals we've gone through in the last few months, preparations for this year's show have been terribly rushed and last-minute; at this point I am still casting frantically to get enough stock done, and I'm prioritising the lines that I know are the most popular. IF there is time next week I will get onto the other stuff, but I can't guarantee it - so my apologies in advance if we don't have every single thing in our range.
Important stuff to note for SALUTE this year:
1) SORRY, BUT NO CARDS! We will NOT be able to process credit/debit card payments at the show; we have been able to take cards in previous years, but due to being in the middle of the changeover to
online processing for our new webstore, we won't be able to take them at the show this year. So it is CASH ONLY this time I'm afraid - the good thing is that it will speed up the serving of customers, because processing cards at the show takes ages and slows everything down! While on the subject of serving customers, please remember that GZG is a one-man business (me!) and therefore the helpers I will have on
the stand are friends who have volunteered for that day only, they will do their best under pressure but please be patient and polite. :-)
2) As the new store isn't going to be online until AFTER Salute, we have no facility to take pre-orders this year; I do hope to have reasonable stocks of most of our regular items, but everything is strictly on a first-come, first-served basis, and once stocks are gone then they're gone! This will especiallyapply to any NEW items I can get done in time (see below), which may be in limited supply - so please make us one of your first stops once you get in to the hall.
3) All our PRICES at SALUTE are being held at our old pre-increase levels, as promised earlier - most prices have got to go up when the new site goes live, so don't miss this chance to get the stuff you want at the old prices!
4) NEW STUFF: well, I still hope there will be some - but I can't tell you what, as they are still waiting to be cast! I'm hoping that in the last few days before the show, once as much of the regular stock as possible has been replenished, I can get at least a couple of moulds' worth of new items made and some stock spun out of them. It'll be right down to the wire, some of it may still be hot from the casting machine when it gets packed in the van..... What I can tell you is that anything I manage to get done will be in the 15mm range - sorry to all the FT fans, I do promise to get back to you before too much longer! Exactly what gets made is in the lap
of the Gods, and there certainly won't be any time to preview or announce it here or anywhere else, so you'll just have to come along and see what we have on the day.
Best regards, and thanks again to everyone for your patience - I sincerely hope that everything will be back to normal soon!
For more info, please access our site via www.gzg.com - the "old" store is still up there for browsing and news posts while the new one is being worked on.

Salute 2011 - The Kaiser Rushforth K-Lite
I have received this fantastic email from KR Multicase today. This has been bubbling for a while (The Overlords podcast mentions it in number 39) but I have waited for the official announcement...
KR Multicase, the K-Lite, and Salute 2011
KR have been working on new cases to suit all wargaming miniatures and are pleased to announce their latest transport case - the K-Lite.
This supplements the Kaiser range of bags which carry the card KR Multicases and provides a unique and economical transport solution.
KR have teamed up with the Salute 2011 show organisers to give a K-Lite free to the first 5000 show attendees on the 16th April. Yes, that’s right - if you visit the Salute 2011 show you will get a brand new transport bag from KR !
The K-lite complements the extensive range of interchangeable trays and cases from KR. This durable and waterproof bag has a secure overlapping lid to protect your card case plus a shoulder strap.
The K-lite holds one card KR Multicase along with a rule book or accessory case, or even your sandwiches!
A single case can easily carry a 1500 point army as a combination of vehicles, monsters or cavalry plus troops or simply carry two hundred 28mm figures in complete safety - the choice is yours! The K-Lite is suitable for all GW armies, you can interchange the case with core or custom trays to suit your particular armies needs.
New custom trays to suit many more GW armies will be released soon.
The K-Lite is available on the KR website priced at just £14.99, and with a KR Multicase and your choice of core trays inside for only £29.99 including UK postage. (The EU and US prices will be announced shortly).
And don’t forget if you are going to Salute 2011 the first 5000 show attendees will get a K-Lite free in the Salute Goody Bag !
KR Multicase - the complete storage and transport system – soft foam for figures, hard cases for soft foam!
Remember that you can keep up to date with KR products and news easily on Facebook. Become a fan of the KR Multicase page from here.
Many thanks

Salute 2011 - new releases and deals 4
Show specials and new releases have been added to the blog page for:
And a longer list from Empress...
Empress Miniatures.
Empress Miniatures are pleased to announce a significant number of products across most of their current ranges.
First off is a brand new range for the Maori Wars, 1845/6. Sculpted by the talented Paul Hicks, the release will be around 40 figures and covering British infantry and militia, civilians, and a naval rocket unit fighting against the tongue poking, heavily tattooed, Maoris.
Our Zulu War range gets some much needed reinforcements with the release of a RA Gatling guns and a command group including M’Lord Chelmsford, Crealock and the reporter NOGs. Also some more packs of Boers, this time dismounted.
Onto our ultra moderns and we will have some brand new very bad guys to support the Taliban forces as well as about 16 new British infantry. Sculpted by Tony Boustead in the most incredible detail possible these figures are really amazing. Even if you do not wargame the period come and have a look at the figures.
Staying in the Modern Zone please keep your eyes open for the new release of the Osprey / Ambush Alley rules and scenario books. Truly excellent publications and to make the offer more tempting we will be offering a very special offer alongside our friends from Osprey. Further news on this nearer the time.
Back to more new projects and we will have the first packs of our new 20mm WW2 Battle of the Bulge winter US army figures.
Other than this we will have a pack of goats and donkeys to add to your scenarios as we continue to develop Pauls Farm.
Lastly it is worth pointing out that we were incredibly busy last year with customer three deep at the stand most of the day. If you want to be sure of getting your toys on the day please contact us about pre ordering. Please also remember we only take cash on the day.
See you on stand TA28, its at the back of the hall. Look for the Empress banner.
- Conquest Games
- Warbases
- Victrix Limited
