-------------------

• 48hr Salute Countdown! • Salute Collection Code • Why Pre-Order? • Where Are We at Salute? • Random Platypus Games • Metal Show Releases • The 'Matt Dixon Kickstarter Minis • Resin Master - Elite Hoare • Resin Master - Dynamic Bjornolf • Resin Master - Dynamic Sigrid • Resin Master- Dynamic Halvdan • Resin - Tryke • Resin - Thumper • Resin - Tymestl & Tyranau • Gamezone Miniatures • Restocks! • And Finally... 48hr Salute Countdown! 48hrs 'max' left, probably less by the time this goes out. Ifyou want resin masters for the show I'd suggest the next 24hrs to make sure. If you read the last newsletters, you'll be able to guess that Salute is... ill-timed this year. But, we'll be there so we're going to do our best with it :) I've cheated a bit with the images etc, all these will be fixed post-Salute when we're back to normal and it will be 'glorious', but for now, we'll make do with what we have, Right, let's get on with it! Salute Collection Code As always there's a nice freebie on offer for those of you who order your Salute goodies in advance. You can pick from an extensive list of items (35 different codes from across our entire range!) The code this year is the highly original 'SALUTE2019', and please remember you enter it on the 'confirmation' page, which is the last one before payment details. There's a box at the top of the page. (Every code we get people writing it in the comments box, other than making me smile, that does absolutely nothing! :) ) Also if your order is over £60 then the chosen freebie will also be dropped into a lil HF goodie bag, if you order over £120 it'll be a double sized bag and so on! The code wil be active until Tuesday the 2nd of April! We aren't packing any pre-orders after that date, you'll just have to bring your lil scrappy piece of paper with you and we can both struggle to read your writing ;) FOR ANYONE NOT GOING TO SALUTE! This is 'not' a free delivery code, this is a 'collection' code. If you use it to try and get free delivery it won't work as we do 'not' see your address. Collection codes blank that for us so we couldn't even accidentally send it to you :) Any orders coming through this way will sit in a box until we get back from Salute and then we'll email you to invoice for postage, it's really not a good idea :D Why Pre-Order? 1. It can get 'very' busy on the day, having a nice pre-order already packed to pick up is a lot easier than reaching around backpacks to grab that last Lenore off the hook. 2. We run out of things. We bring as much as we can but every year we run out of 'something' and this year, thanks to events listed in our last newsletters, those somethings may be more than usual. 3. There's a nice free gift for ya. 4. Resin Masters! We do 'not' bring Resin Masters, like Abercrombie above, to the show unless they are in pre-orders.  5. Non-miniatures. We don't bring all of our 'bitz' to the show. So if you want bases, stickers, ball bearings, modern trooper heads or whatever then you also have to pre-order them. 6 Gamezone. See below :) Where Are We at Salute? Salute have kindly left the layout much the same so I can just use last years' highly informative map (The numbers are different but barely visible so I'm ignoring that and saving myself a job) :) We are TM17 in our usual 'Hasslefree Corner'.  The guys at Random Platypus will be right next to us with their show games ... Random Platypus Games Multiple games from our Friends at RP are at Salute this year, including some HF miniatures of course. Details can befound HERE and HERE Metal Show Releases We can confirm these minis will be at the show with us,  all of the moulded correctly! :) We are hoping to have the pre-release metals of the following at the show with us... (And when we say 'pre-release' we really mean pre-release, some of these won't be available for months on the site) All of our Kickstarter Miniatures Major Hoare Carol Indiana and Jones Kaela Yu Hurin and Morwenna Maybe even the 3 Dynamic Vikings below! (Resin links provided for reference, and to help you make your lists ;) ) Everyone interested in those, cross your fingers.We'll also only have the intitial low number of spins in stock, so as always with these, first come first served! Right, on to the Resin! The 'Matt Dixon Kickstarter Minis Well that's the largest photo we've ever put in a newsletter :D The easiest way to handle this is to just links to the Fantasy Resin Masters page. You can find the Human Releases in the middle of the page from code H171 onwards, the Companions in the M codes and the Undead Releases right at the bottom of this page. (Please read section above this for release dates) I'm putting this here not just to remind people these are now on general release but as a reminder of what metal minis will be available at Salute. Resin Master - Elite Hoare Major John Hoare - The Major is technically a part of the Galactic Navy's ATF. Trained under Commander Slaughter during the Druusch Wars, John found himself particularly drawn to Jungle planet fighting. Raised in a similar climate, John loves the heat and the close quarters environment. Opting, usually, for some kind of pistol and combat knife combo plus his own extensive hunting skillshowever, sometimes, he upgrades to some more major firepower. This mini is an homage to both the schlocky sci-fi movies of the past and 80s action movies. He's wearing a vest and combat pants / boots and is armed with totally unsuitable weaponry for alien based jungle combat. But he looks tough as nails doing it! . Because of that he's listed as a Modern miniature as he has pretty much no sci-fi trappings whatsoever! Resin Master - Dynamic Bjornolf Bjornolf Beornson, a raider in Ulfred's clan. Big, strong, fearless and usually carrying a very large axe. Seen here mid leap. Resin Master - Dynamic Sigrid Sigrid Hjálmun, a shieldmaiden armed here with her round shield, sword wearing her runehelmet. Seen here mid battle. Resin Master- Dynamic Halvdan Halvdan Rasmussen, one of the few outsiders in Ulfred's clan. His heritage may be mixed but his loyalty is true. Seen here mid battle with smaller, faster weapons than his maul. Resin - Tryke Tryke, a baby dinosaur companion. Dawn mini for size comparison purposes only Resin - Thumper Thumper, a hunter demonic companion Lenore Skyclad shown for size comparison puporses only Resin - Tymestl & Tyranau Tymestl & Taranau, sabre-toothed snow leopard companions Gamezone Miniatures Yes, we'll have Gamezone at Salute. We 'may' have the out of stock minis in too, cross your fingers, otherwise they'll be back in stock online after the show. You'll notice the bulk of them have nifty videos rather than images. If those don't work for you, don't worry, after Salute photos will be added, for now it was quicker to embed the promo videos for the listings :)  Restocks! Plastic Bases! Etched Brass Foliage! Etched Brass Architectural! CDA Paints! Cogs! And Finally... After Salute we'll reboot our metal release schedule, starting with the Salute release and the KS minis and going from there. We should have some 'coming soon' resins and/or greens in our display case at the show so you can nose at what's in our immediate future. My background television for work this week has been Good Girls. Which is surprisingly fun, reminds me a lot of Weeds. The only distracting part is that everyone in-universe has to ignore that Christina Hendricks looks like Christina Hendricks. It's quite distracting. Isn't Brexit/Non-Brexit fun? No? Correct. If I've made any mistakes above, well, too late now! :) Been a while since one of these, I'll get back into the swing of things soon enough. (Oh and remember, don't reply to the newsletter email for now, we're still using bwartemis@gmail for such things) 'til next time, Arty.

May I present, the bonus.... * (unless you email us because of an emergency/bday/whatever and then we'll see what we can do. Or you are one of the people mentioned at the bottom of this newsletter).

Input the code on the final 'confirmation' page, at the top. If you hit the payment page you went too far. (Stop writing it in the comments box! Anyone who writes it in the comments box is getting the worst flavour sweets!). We've also updated our system so the code can now be used multiple times by the same customer, meant to do that for a 'long' time! :) This means if you come back for a second order within the sale it'll work again, just make sure to mention in the second order comments box that you already ordered please! *The below new releases are all just reduced rather than the full 20% off, you'll see :)) The sale runs until November 14th. Please remember, no mail will be posted until the sale is over, the discount is in return for the wait :) Oh, and for the big spenders, as always during promotions we have... Halloween Goody Bags Anyone spending £70 or more* will qualify for a Halloween Goody Bag. Goody bag will contain a variety of 'things', a free mini or 2 (themed appropriately), some 'bitz' such as sand or cogs and, of course, extra Halloween candy (i.e. it's sour!). *Actual total paid, including discount, postage, VAT etc. Larger spends qualify for larger goody bags, no limit on goody bag size :D We will also theme the goody bag to the order, so if you ordered Fantasy the free mini/s wil be fantasy and so on.  This year there's also one more bonus...

All double sized (£140+) goodie bags will contain a Resin Master of Red Raine (unless you say otherwise in the comments box). She's also available for regular sale...

Come with a choice of heads, masked and unmasked. A tall, built woman, ~32mm. Unsurprisingly, Brexit Still Sucks! As Brexit draws closer,and nobody has the slightest clue what's about to happen, the pound has decide to slide yet again against most of the major currencies in the world. Wheeee! Fun and interactive and not at all jaw droppingly scary! Just as an example to our American friends, our current standard single metal price point with the sale discount is less than $4.50!  (It's actually around $4.30, which is mental) For the Mainland Euros out there, our standard pricepoint, with the sale is also less than €4.50 Euro! For the Aussies less than $6 and for the Japanese, less than 500 yen! Madness!   Our airmail stickers are at the ready! :D Right, , and you thought this was all just sale talk? Hell no, this is the 2018 'Spectacular! ... New Resin Master Pre-Releases! Now we don't normally release things during a sale but I've fiddled with the system a bit to combine the two. So now you can get your Pre Releases in the same order as your much reduced regular minis! The recent extra work in recovering form the past year has meant my photograph setup has had to wait,so I've just made use of Kev's greens and one of the 'we're closed' jobs is finishing that up finally here at the unit to get back to regular work images. As anyone who's bought from us knows, the bods from Grey Matter are such resin maestro's that their Masters are near indistinguishable from the green anyway, so I'm using that fact to ease my annoyance :D So that's why this lot are 'pre' releases not 'new' release. They'll disappear at the end of the sale and come back as regular releases with updated images, names and fluff etc. If you're willing to go from the greens, then you get them nice and early ;) Resin Master - Sulaman al-Tais An Arabian style wizard, complete with snake staff, lamp and enchanted cuffs. Resin Master - Jibril al-Tais An arabian style warrior, complete with large scimitars and shield Resin Masters - Unnamed Saracen An arabian style warrior, complete with large scimitar and scalemail Resin Masters - Unnamed Chaos Warrior A chaos warrior, complete with large axe and darksteel armour Resin Master - Dynamic Conenne A female warrior with 2-handed sword. Resin Master - Germima Von Bubodouche A female chaos lord of decay.

Logan A scout and member of Cmdr Slaughters hunting party Resin Master - Lcdr DeMarco Erica 'Wrecker' DeMarco, subordinate and longtime-companion to Cmdr Slaughter Resin Master - New Grymn A Grymn ex-military commander, now a pir*cough*privateer on the fringe.

Resin Master - Riff Skyclad A male dolly, fully usable 'as is' as a Supervillain Resin Master - Jumping Couple A male and female dolly, also fully usable as  Supers. The female is cut at the left wrist so the male has both their hands attached. Resin Master - Unnamed Knife Skyclad An as yet unnamed young lady, carrying a large knife Restocks We've added some restocks that literally just came in, so if something was missing, then check again! :) We 'may' get another restock in before the sale is over, we'll update you with a newsletter if we do! Do You have an Oustanding Issue? If you have any issues, no matter how old or how small, please email me on bwartemis@gmail.com If you've emailed our domain addresses, foward that to this address. If you've already emailed this and received no reply then please check it didn't have some weird text or huge image attached etc and bump it again. (e.g. Someone was wondering why I hadn't replied and it turned out the 'screenshot' they were sending us was 4 times the size of my 34" ultrawide monitor :) ) As we're shut for mail, and we now have a fully trained up helper, anyone left gets me all to themselves. Even if you don't read this, I'll be digging back through our spam filters and so on to find anyone left out anyway, just giving you a chance to bump yourself too.   ... And Finally Yes, I know it's not Halloween! :D We've been busy and I wasn't feeling too well the last couple of days so the last thing I wanted to do was put this out as newsletters immediately generate a wave of emails and messages that I would like to be able to respond to properly. I also couldn't be bothered to invent a new 'just past Halloween' holiday ;) I think that's it. I'll be spending the next two weeks getting back ahead of the curve, which will be nice. There may also be sleep involved, and not in a warehouse, which will also be nice :) There will almost certainly be another newsletter during the sale, as I'm likely to find some more unreleased minis that I've missed off the list! 'til next time, Arty.
