Salute 2016

Salute has come and gone and I'm still impressed by the size of that show.

190 odd vendors, lots of demo games and soo much temptation.

I picked up my new Napoleonic Austrians from Lancashire models and the new Osprey Horizon Wars 6mm goodness set of rules

A few photos of what caught my eye

John Treadway's Hammers Slammers


Overview of the Hammers Slammers game


Full Thrust goodness!


Oooh, BattleStar Galatica using Full Thrust rules.


Hawks very impressive Drop Ship.

No matter how many times I see it, I'm still impressed.


You can see the 10mm drop ships getting ready to launch



A 25mm Napoleonic game, not sure what they were playing, it just looked good

Salute 2013

Sooo many shiny toys, was hard to resist.

Salute seemed to be very busy this year.  I got there around 11:30 and there was a long queue to buy tickets and when I got in, the place was packed.  Good to see that it is bucking the current trend.

The high lights for me were Dropzone Commander, GZG and antenocitis workshop.

I was really glad to see Dropzone back for a 2nd year.  Last year, they were there but hadn't released their figures but had all of their models for show.  This year, they had their full range, including buildings and a monorail that I really wanted to buy.  10mm isn't my thing, but they are making it hard. I'd love to pick up some of their walkers and drop ships for Future War Commander.


Antenocitis workshop just make some of the best 25mm scifi figures I've seen for a while.  I've not been interested in 25mm for over a decade and then they come along.  And, now they are doing 15mm!
At the show, they mentioned that they are doing their own rules set, so, it will be interesting to see what they come up with.  They have now come out with a range of terrain to flesh out your city scape, including billboards.  I'm going to pick some of these up later in the year and use the figures with Tomorrows War.

GZG, nuff said, I could go nuts in their shop.

Here are a few photos

They have some stunning figures for this game.  Very anime
