Salute video - part 1

We may not be the fastest to get pictures up online, but we have some access that nobody else does. On the build day for the show, Friday 20th April, Romanas spent some time walking round with a video camera to get footage which would let you see what goes into setting up the largest club show in the country.


It shows the 8 hours of build in about 8 minutes; starting with the arrival of tables and going through to the evening when we had perhaps a little over half our traders in place for the show. There will be a 'part 2' in a few days...

Thank you!

We would like to thank every single gamer, painter, trader and significant other who came to Salute today. We were really pleased to see so many through the doors (recession, what recession?), and the whole place seemed to have a buzz this year - thank you!

I will be posting pictures from the show, the competitions and the painting over the next week or so, but for now, all I will say is that it was a great showcase for a hobby that we all love.

Friday 20 April 2012

The TFL site now has all the information for this weekend's planned engineering works, and it looks like everything will be running. I'll be out there testing it tomorrow, as we start building the show from 9:00am.

Also, for those of you coming in for the weekend remember that London has the Marathon on Sunday, 22nd April... http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/gettingaround/londonmarathon/

Mantic Games - TE10 - www.manticgames.com


Mantic launching Project Pandora at Salute
The much anticipated Project Pandora: Grim Cargo launches at Salute.

Containing 20 beautiful miniatures, a complete starship tile pack and an elegant and enticing set of rules, Project Pandora puts the Corporation against the Veer-myn in a cat and mouse game of survival. The game features innovative dice-driven combat and action-point based movement and comes complete with 6 scenarios that build in difficulty, equating to games from anywhere between 30 mins to 2 Hours, and that’s before you start swapping sides and replaying the missions.


Project Pandora will be available at Salute exclusively on the Mantic stand where there will be demoes of the game and Jake Thornton will be on hand to answer your questions. There are only a limited number of copies of the game available, so you can reserve yours by emailing sales@manticgames.com.

Kill all you can! – Win £75 by topping our Pandora Leaderboard
Scenario 1 is all about killing Veer-myn and we’ll be running a leaderboard on the day recording the number of kills.

The person with the highest number of kills will win themselves £50 to spend on the Mantic webstore. We’ll also be running this at Adepticon which is on the same weekend in the United States. If the top scorer beats the Adepticon score, we’ll increase the prize to £75!

Get yourself over to the Mantic stand and, if you can’t get to the show, visit our special offers section where you’ll be able to get yourself a deal and join in the fun!

Freebooter Miniatures - TC11 - www.freebooterminiatures.com


Salute is drawing very close indeed and we thought we'd give you a brief heads up about some special deals we'll have in order to entice you to our stand, not that the chance of meeting us in person, having a nice chat, getting your rulebooks signed, purchasing some metally goodness and playing a game of Freebooter's Fate wouldn't already be enough.

So, first off, the bundle deals. If you are new to the game and want to get stuck in, all the starter deals from the webshop will be available, i.e. a copy of the Basic Rulebook, a pack of playing cards and a starter box of 4 miniatures (6 for Goblins) at GBP 50 each (GBP 57 for the Goblins).


You may have noticed that if you want to play the Amazons to the full, you really need the Deep Jungle expansion book. And that this book also contains new stuff for all the other crews as well. Well, that's why we also offer a mega starter deal for those of you who want to jump in at the deep end or start with feather-clad females. These deals consist of a copy of the Basic Rulebook, a deck of playing cards, the respective crew's starter box of miniatures and a copy of the Deep Jungle book for GBP 69 (GBP 75 for the Goblins).

You will also be the first people in the world who can get their greedy gamer mitts on the new equipment cards which have just come back from the printers. They will be released at Salute 2012 at GBP 7 a pack, details about what they are can be obtained here http://freebooterminiatures.de/en/forum/1332. And because we may be freebooters but we are nice freebooters at heart, we will be offering a Captain's Special. That's a copy of the Basic Rulebook, a copy of the Deep Jungle expansion book, a pack of playing cards, a pack of the brand spanking new equipment cards (that's the complete set of printed material released for Freebooters Fate so far) and a starter set of miniatures for the crew of your choice for GBP 75 (GBP 80 if you choose Goblins).

Plus, don't forget that this is one of the few opportunities to buy our special Goblin Ragg Chiflad, whom we only sell at cons and fairs and who is not available in our shop.

And to top it all off, anybody making a purchase of £30 or more at our stand gets to make one draw* from the Captain's hat. We've packed it with all sorts of goodies from our extensive range, including some limited edition miniatures. This would be a good way of getting a figure to paint up for the WAMP contest (http://www.wamp-forum.com/VB4/showthread.php?11504-Freebooter-Painting-Contest-2012) which is currently on - hint, hint.

Small print bit: Please note that all these special deals are only valid for purchases made at our stand at Salute 2012.
* The draw is limited to one per person for the entire day, regardless of the number of purchases.

Maelstrom Games Ltd - TD20 - www.maelstromgames.co.uk / banelegions



SALUTE 2012 IS UPON US!

Wowser! It doesn’t seem five minutes since the last event, if we’re honest, but here we all are again for the United Kingdom’s finest independent wargaming show, a show that seems to get better each year and of course goes by the name of… Salute!

Run by the South London Warlords wargaming club and promising to be a full day of wargaming goodness and shenanigans, Salute 2012 should prove to be even better than the last one – at least for us, anyway, because our range has grown immensely in the twelve months since said last event and this year we’ll also have some superb sneak peeks of upcoming miniatures, some of which you’ll even be able to purloin ahead of schedule. How amazing is that!

So, as well as all of our existing range that is currently available – that’s nineteen BaneBeasts and twenty-six BaneLords, forty-five miniatures in all – you’ll also be able to buy May’s releases, Mjagnir, Muldo and Alianne, as well as be lured by the prospect of checking out some pre-production casts of Kadámastar, Ancient Devourer, Ygerna, Sword-Melusine and Svrill, Wielder of Khthon… in other words, June’s releases! We’re not promising anything, but you may also be able to get your hands on them before anybody else – as long as we’ve got all of our ducks in a row beforehand.

Now then. As we did last year at Salute, we’ll be bringing all of our painted miniatures – some of which really do need to be seen to be believed – to show off in our display cases, as well as fully-assembled resin versions of each that you can physically pick up and have a look at. There really is no subsitute for seeing these miniatures “in the flesh”, so now you can have a real good look before you buy, of course – why else would you visit our stand?!?! You can find our stand – TD20 – under the Maelstrom Games name on this South London Warlords’ Salute 2012 map, handily circled for you. Check it out below!


There’ll probably be a couple of updates over the next week or so and there may well be further announcements about Salute, too – so keep checking back!

In addition, there will be a special get you started box set for PBI.

If you get your order onto the PP shopping cart and use the code XL12, you will receive a 10% discount on whatever you are picking up at the Salute show.

Lastly, a thanks to the Warlords for putting on the biggest show in the world!!

Warlord Games - TG12 - www.warlordgames.co.uk



This will be our fifth year at Salute and, once again, we want to make it bigger and better than ever. We will be at Stand No. GH23 & GH26 (for those who were at Salute last year, we are in the same spot). For newcomers to the show, just look dead ahead when you enter the hall and look for the Warlord Games banners toward the back.

The Battle of Bridgewater – a Pike & Shotte participation game
We will be hosting a game of Pike & Shotte – our big release at this year’s Salute. The Battle of Bridgewater is a ferocious clash between Lord Hopton’s Royalist army of the West and the Parliamentarian forces of Sir William Waller. Will The Royalist brush aside the beleaguered Parliament troops and push on for London, or will Waller’s men drive the cavaliers back to Cornwall?

Bolt Action – a preview game
We will also have a game of our upcoming WWII game, Bolt Action – a preview look of this game for the first time. This is looking to be a massive hit with WWII gamers looking for a platoon level 28mm game; come along and take a look at what is on the way.

What’s next?
This is also your chance to meet the Warlord Games team and ask us your questions. We’ll all be there, including Wojtek, our sculptor, who is being unchained from his desk for the day to show you his latest (and future) projects although we would ask you not to feed him (we’ve all seen what happens to Mogwai in the film Gremlins…)..
But we know you don’t just go to Salute to see the latest games and talk toy soldiers. You’ll want something to paint when you get home. So…
This Salute we will lots of new Warlord Games products for our Bolt Action, Hail Caesar, Black Powder and Pike & Shotte ranges (including the new plastic WWII US Infantry, the first Warlord Games plastic scenery piece, The Ruined Hamlet, and a host of resin vehicles). We will also bring along loads of other product ranges such as The Army Painter, Sodapop Miniatures, Architects of War, etc.

Pike & Shotte
Our new Pike & Shotte rulebook is being launched at Salute this year. Pike & Shotte: Battles with model soldiers in the 16th and 17th centuries, written by Steve Morgan, based on the hugely popular Black Powder by Rick Priestley.
Anybody buying the Pike & Shotte rulebook from us at Salute will also get the special edition King’s Guard ensign, Hugo Raleigh figure absolutely FREE!
Being unveiled to the public for the first time, the new rulebook will be available to buy on the day. Anyone who has placed a pre-order has the option of picking their copy up on the day instead of it being posted the day before. If you want to do this, please drop us a line at steve.morgan@warlordgames.com

Forthcoming releases
Not only will we have several unreleased projects for you to feast your eyes on but we’re also likely to have a small number of unreleased models available for you to get your eager mitts on so make sure you get to the Warlord stand early!

Salute Show Deals
We will be running a number of deals on the day, including:
• Buy 5 boxes or blisters and get the cheapest FREE
• New Army Deals for the Pike & Shotte release
• Bolt Action Army Deals
• We shall also be offering some cracking deals on the new Army Painter Warpaints

See you at Salute!

Hasslefree Miniatures - TA02 - www.hfminis.co.uk


It's nearly that time again ...time to panic and try to cram an entire workshop into a van and drive south to London for our biggest show of the year. 'Salute' is held at the Excel Centre in Docklands and as well as seeing all of the gorgeous HF goodness up close and personal there might be a few other interesting stands to visit ( maybe just a few......although none as important or wonderful as us of course!)


BEFORE THE SHOW
PRE-ORDERS: From Monday 5th March the following code will be valid on the website until Monday 16th April 2012. SALUTEPREORDER

This code can ONLY be used if you plan on attending the show and will collect your pre-packed order there as this code will instruct the shopping cart to remove shipping charges and give you a choice of picking 1 of 4 FREE BONUS items to add to your order. Orders over £35 (excluding VAT) £42 including VAT will receive a FREE copy of the metal 'Statue of Liberty' figure plus when you collect your order at the show you will have a choice of 2 FREE sticker/decal sheets from a selection.


AT THE SHOW
If you are going, then we are in our usual spot, Stand TA02. Never been to see us before? Don't worry we are easy to find. Go in through the main entrance and turn left then look straight ahead at the far wall directly in front of you. The big blue banner on the far left is us!

As usual we will have various promotions on the day including bonus multi-pack deals, limited stocks of unreleased figures and also free gifts with purchases including sample packs of new items from the 'Accessories' ranges.


CAN'T MAKE IT?
If you cant make it, we are sorry to miss you but don't worry as we have a special bonus just for you. If you go onto the website from Thursday 19th April 2012 to Monday 23rd April 2012 and enter the code MAKEMEHAPPYSALLY at checkout you will get 10% off of your order value (before tax and shipping) plus a free copy of the metal 'Statue of Liberty' in your order on all orders over £35 (excluding VAT) and a FREE mystery additional item.


DON'T FORGET.....
....that we only have some of the new releases available in limited quantities until after the show therefore the only way you might be able to guarantee getting some of the items is if you pre-order to collect at the show.

Can't remember whats new? That's okay, we have had so many releases this year that even I am struggling to keep up! Details will follow shortly of all of the latest releases that have gone up on the website over the last week including the new 40mm resin Kalee but a quick way to remind yourself is to log into the 'New Toys' section every few weeks.

Thanks for reading!
Sally :)

Travel to Salute 2012

To plan your travel to Salute, have a look at the TfL website:  http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/realtime/tube/default.html shows the situation as it is now, but by setting Future Dates to the 21st April you can see what they have planned for us.

At present, there are no engineering works planned for the east of London. It looks like the DLR is okay to Custom House (Excel Centre) but one can never be 100%... so check the website again before the show!

Also, for those of you coming in for the weekend remember that London has the Marathon on Sunday, 22nd April... http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/gettingaround/londonmarathon/

The ‘Duellists’); and last but not least their Samurai Rabbits!
Go to the Eureka Miniatures website (www.eurekamin.com.au) and look for the appropriate Salute announcement and updates under “News & Events” on the left hand side of the home page. There you will find further information and the links to the pre-order pages.

There is a human Amazon handler and three cats (which is the maximum allowed in the game) and we will be selling Tecuani (the handler) and an onca (that's what we called the cats) in the same blister/bag, while another blister/bag will contain the other two oncas.




We might have some more as yet unannounced stuff at Salute, but since I haven't received official confirmation, I'm not going give you any more details so as not to disappoint anybody. I'll keep you posted, of course.

Prizes for games at Salute 2012


Those very nice people at the Wargames Holiday Centre have kindly donated a pair of free tickets to be given away at this years show. This is a really great prize - just go to their website to look at the games they put on. And so, we thought that these two tickets would make a great prize for the best game at the show.
We would like to thank the centre for this kind donation, and wish good luck to all the games at the show this year.
