Well that's the van packed, all ready for Dave to pick me up at 8am to drive to the venue.

We'll hopefully see some of you there!

[Steve J]

Ype, looking forward to it . Nearly finished on the stuff for our demo game, with the main effort left on the final warband, which is about 50% done.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

See you Saturday and Sunday lads!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Good to see everyone this weekend. Beautiful Dux game lads!

[Hertsblue]

Anyone got any pics for those of us who were chained to the sink unable to attend?

[Albie Bach]

Thanks to Steve J and Craig for letting me join the Dux Bellorum game at Colours on Sunday. I enjoyed that a lot. Keith was the other player in the game. Keith & I had a good old tussle for control of the flank while Steve tried to take the hill which was defended by Craig. I am now sorting out my own Army Lists and will be ordering some Pendraken goodies for this shortly.
I took a few dodgy pics of parts of the game but I didn't have my GorillaPod and they are not very good. If no-one else has any I'll post them.

I was also pleased to meet O Dinas Powys, Mad Lemmy (briefly) and Leon (I think that's the first time we've spoken face to face). Sorry if I missed anyone.

Cheers, Colin

Good to meet Albie Bach, Meirion and his daughter, all who had enjoyable games of DB. Met Mad Lemmey in between his FoW tourney which was nice. More details to follow on my Blog, but the highlight was meeting Bruce Weigle and seeing his wonderful table. Bought a couple of his books, 1859 and 1866, which from a quick glance last night are packed full of wonderful information.

Thanks to Leon and the guys for sorting my order out 
Also got some Zombies lovely sculpts    loved the new Cold War tanks one even had some realistic damage 
Look forward to these being released.

[Steve J]

Yep the tanks were really very nice indeed, despite Dave's attempt at sabotaging the Centurion .

[Leon]

Good to see everyone this weekend, Mad Lemmey, Steve J, Tiny Terrain, Albie Bach, Eldamarelf, Sean67, and many others.  We also spoke with O Dinas Powys (and his daughter!), and I found him outside on the Sunday afternoon getting some lessons in swordplay! 

We had a good weekend overall, bit quieter than 2012 for Pendraken, bit busier for Minibits, which annoyed Dave no end...!   

Shame to hear about more thefts though this year.  Last year we lost £75 worth of Vallejo stuff, this year it was £200 worth of Warlord boxsets from Dave Thomas, and several KR cases from Lesley's Bits Box. 

Aside from that it was a really nice weekend, until the van battery died on the van!  Cue a quick phone call to the AA, and a battery boost from the man in the van, and we were up and away again!

[Sean67]

When will people learn that eventually the thefts will make you guys stop coming to shows and only sell on the net 
Nothing beats talking to traders face to face.
Sad and mad 

[Ace of Spades]

The strangest to me is that somehow these thieving b******s still think they're involved in a hobby somehow...
It's a whole lot different from what I would call a hobby though.... sad!

Has anyone got any photos of Bruce's table?

[Steve J]

I'm ashamed to say that I forgot to take pics of the table, but it was his Rossbrun one if that helps? Ditto other tables at the show . It did look fantastic though.

[mollinary]

I walked that field with him a few years ago when he was preparing the scenarios for his books, so I'd really like to see it!
