Salute 2012, For Sale and Polo Shirts!

Ray has done a post about the Rejects on tour at Salute and out willingness to meet fellow bloggers and wargamers primarily because we can, we should, we want to and especially to put faces to names (maybe a group shot), the one thing that this blogging shenanigans has done has brought a lot of people together across the globe which can't be a bad thing and has kept me functioning as a human being for a lot longer than I was intending to!

For the love of Michael Flately take the picture as I can't hold my breath for much longer!

I'm going to Salute obviously like everybody else primarily for figures and stock or what my funds allow me to buy but I'm looking forward to meeting people (with a little trepidation because I am a little shy) that I've spoken to countless times on their blogs.

Now Ray has sorted out a time for a brief meet up at the venue (it was meant to be a pub but he's driving and can't drink, I'm not though but he is my lift!) but if you see me before that stop me and introduce yourself and while I can be politely described as a large lump (rhymes with cat) and looking like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle I am not too bad a human being as some fellow bloggers I've met in person can hopefully say!

I have organised some polo shirts for the Rejects game at Broadside 2012 (information on the side bar) and while they didn't come out exactly as I wanted they're still very acceptable, we did the shirts after speaking to and seeing other demo game clubs and groups do this for uniformity and stopping some ass crack moments! We'll probably wear them at the show....under a jacket!

After this I shaved my head!

I also have a new page at the top of the blog with a link to some stuff for sale on Ebay which funds my Shinybloodyitis disease and Salute this weekend.

We've also got an ACW game on the Sunday with a few Canadian bloggers and I'm cooking my heart attack on a plate as well.

28mm Painted Wargames Foundry Viking Cavalry and Infantry.

Going through my figure boxes at the weekend and came across my vikings from Wargames Foundry which I painted several years ago and have decided to take a few pictures before I sell them to fund an expedition to Salute 2011 in April, it's the largest show I go to and where I pick up figures and supplies for the rest of the year (not that I don't buy a few trifles online throughout the year either) but this now unused collection plus some overtime and a painting commision will hopefully fund this years expedition.

Some pictures of the cavalry and some infantry, took pictures of all 102 figures in groups over the weekend and have a terrible group shot aswell.
