Back from our long trip to Bristol for Blast-tastic! yesterday. We had a great day, so many thanks to Michael of Angel Barracks<\/a> for the work that he and his wife Sam put in to making it a successful event. There were a number of good looking games there, although unfortunately we ended up being too busy to get a chance to take part in any (the positive side of this is that we shifted quite a lot of models). It’s looking likely that there will be a second edition next year, so if you weren’t able to make it this time, you’ll get another chance.<\/p>\n

Remember that next week (Sunday 12th) it’s SELWG<\/a> at Crystal Palace. There is still time to get in your orders for the show, the cut-off will be Thursday morning. You can either send us an order by email<\/a> and pay on the day (cash or credit card) or place the order through the website using the Collect in Person<\/a> shipping option and pay in advance (that way the website won’t charge any postage).<\/p>\n

Finally a special thank you to Keith Armstrong of Armies Army<\/a> for the Commonwealth troops in Glengarries – perfect for my Stewart Regiment<\/a> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
