With Salute just around the corner we've been thinking how we can entice you to our table on the day... Well as the title suggests we are going to give away one of our beautifully sculpted boards, representing the famous chess courts of Eddo. Every Bushido product purchased at our Salute table puts you in with a chance of winning the board, more products purchased will mean more chance of winning.
Simple Miniature Games will be doing their buy 3 get the 4th free deals on all the products on their stand this year so you can save 25%! This will include Infinity, Malifaux, Carnivale, Army painter, Hell Dorado, Tale of War, Avatars of War and Warmill scenery. The guys at SMG and Warmill have teamed up to put together a superb demo board for Infinity and they thought it would have been rude not to let you buy all the lovely scenery on the day!

Travel to Salute 2012
Spoiler:
To plan your travel to Salute, have a look at the TfL website 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!
We will be there again with our BaneLegions range - we will have many pre-release minis available to buy (as well as our full range) including some we will unveil at the show itself!

Peter Pig will be at Salute for the 25th year. We will be bringing a participation game of PBI (WWII 15mm). It will be a "gamette" of two platoons of Brits attacking one platoon of Germans in Normandy-style terrain. In fact, this will be the same game as we took to Historicon in 2005! 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.

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 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.

I'm reminded of Rob Brydon going golfing with Ronnie Corbett when Rob's wife was 2 weeks off. That ended well I seem to recall, Wish I could go

We are indeed - well, it's not HUGE, but it is pretty big!!
The table is a cityfight table measuring nearly 13 feet long by 5 feet wide. We will have 15,000 points per side - Orks vs an Eldar/Dark Angel/Squat alliance (I know - not very fluffy, but what can you do! ). There will be a few Titans and a number of superheavies involved on both sides.
If you're there(and why wouldn't you be?!?) come and say Hi! We will be on Stand GG09

Sounds great, thought the WIP snaps were most promising indeed.
Looking forwards to seeing it and taking some snaps.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Wowser - that looks fantastic, can't wait to see it in the flesh... Always love the various games tables at SALUTE, such a diverse choice of periods and genres to gaze at and be inspired by....
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!
For those interested, we have published the list of our commecial offer on :
Taban Miniatures
Taban Miniatures is the editor of EDEN the post apocalyptic skirmishes game, Madlab73 (textured resin bases) and distributes Master Miniatures (limited showcase models)
Meet us at boot TF08, right besides Forgeworld's

That's a great-looking city table. The first couple pics make me think of a couple maps from the first Dawn fo War where players had 'bases' in the corners that had chunks of ruined city.
Working on someting you'll either love or hate. Hopefully to be revealed by November.
Play the games that make you happy.
I'm surprised that the Crooked Dice offer for 7TV hasn't been mentioned yet
The savings are £6 if you want everything in the Ultimate bundle, but if you don't want the poster, dice and tokens, you can buy all the bits separately for £67.25...
I got an email from Forgeworld yesterday saying that they are having production issues with the event models and that I won't get mine on saturday. I pre-paid, so they will send them out after the event as they need all their stock to sell to people on the day (or something). So if you want the models and didn't pre-pay... get there early!

The on site parking is £15 for the day so a good alternative could mean more goodies for me!
Unless you have a travel card / Oyster card, it's probably just as cheap to park at Excel. You could use the NCP car park at the 02 (North Greenwich station) - £7 all day on Saturday, but you'll then need to buy a travel card to get to Excel (Jubilee line to Canary Wharf and DLR from CW to Excel) so probably not much change from £7, unless there's a group going and you can share the parking costs?
http://www.ncp.co.uk/car-park?cpid=800453 Don't bother with the Canary Wharf car parks as they are expensive even on weekends.
