I wonder if there is any price yet for the Perry travel battle set?

That would definitely be towards the top of my shopping list as long as the price is sensible.

Here you go - looks like a good price to me
TravelBattle is a complete table top miniatures game in a box. It is intended for gamers who have limited space, or those who are traveling on a long journey or holiday and need a gaming fix! All the playing pieces are made of coloured plastic, and include two 3 dimensional green terrain boards with separate woods, grey buildings and red and blue armies. The size of the miniatures is 8mm. The two terrain boards are designed to be placed together on any edge, giving the potential for 16 different battlefields. The 1" grid marked on the boards excludes the need for rulers to be used in the game. The simple rules system should allow a game to played within an hour. The two armies are generic Napoleonic forces of equal size and composition which make up three brigades for each side. There is a simple painting guide in case you which to enhance your armies and terrain boards. £50.00

Contents:

160 x Infantry
24 x Cavalry
4 x Guns and 12 crew
6 x Brigadiers
2 x 10" 3D Terrain boards
6 x Buildings
4 x Dice
1 x Set of rules

Salute 2017 Update!
We have added a free shipping option to 'Collect at Salute 2017'. If you are attending and know there are items you want, we recommend placing an order for collection as we will not be bringing our entire range to the show.
Please get in touch with any questions!

SALUTE ORDERS

We’re happy to take advance orders if you’d like to reserve and items, new or existing. You can either e-mail us and send a list to be paid for on the day (cash or card), or you can use the ‘Collect in Person’ shipping option on the website to place an order without paying any postage charges. Please place any orders by Friday 14th April to give us a chance of processing them.

The 2017 Salute Sticky Page
For those who are new to us, what we tend to do is save up a lot of our new products and release them in one big hit at the show, and here is where you’ll find details of them. This post is made ‘sticky’ until the show arrives, which means it sits at the top of our blog front page. We’ll constantly update it between now and April 22nd with more new items as we get photos, so keep coming back and checking regularly.

Although we’ll have everything here available at the show, we’ll stagger the addition of the releases onto the website – that is simply to avoid us being flooded with a huge pile of orders for the new items. We’d rather regulate the flow of new stuff – that way we avoid getting behind on orders, which no-one wants. To help those who aren’t able to make the show, this year we’ve added the intended website release date to each range.

Jumping on this thread to say that as we're on a titchy 6 foot stand, we can only bring a selection of our products with us and choosing what to bring is alwaysd a tough one. Therefore, help us out by emailing your order for collection to admin@warmill.co.uk, or using our webstore contact form, and we'll give you an additional 5% discount on top of the 15% show discount.

Colonel Bill's Wargames Depot

Preparations for Salute 2017 are now in full swing here at the Depot. We are stand TD21, for those who intend finding us on the day.

Unfortunately, we have had to reduce our stand size from our normal 18' at most shows to 12' at Salute. This has the effect that much of our 4Ground stock will need to be left behind.

However, to compensate for this, we are offering an additional 10% discount, on top of the usual 10% discount, on any 4Ground items pre-ordered for collection at Salute before midnight, 20th April.

This extra discount can be accessed by using coupon code 4GSalute2017 when using our check-out system, and it is only available for pre-orders at Salute 2017.

Show Pre-Orders

On making a pre-order for a show, you will receive a 10% discount. This discount is available on all our online stock, and can be accessed by selecting Collect at Show for delivery method, and Cash on Collection during the check-out process. Please remember to tell us which show you would like to collect at.

Of course, all customers can pre-order by emailing or telephoning us with their order.

We Hope to See You There!

You can keep up-to-date with the goings on at Colonel Bills Wargames Depot through either our Facebook page, or our associated Never Mind The Jankers! blog. Both of which feature any new 28mm painted items we place up for sale.

London EXcel Centre 22/04/2017

STAND TJ09

We are again running great offers on our stand saving up to 20% on the day.

One minor change this year is we, and other traders with larger stands, have been asked if we would reduce our stand size to allow space for new and upcoming companies. Therefore our stand is smaller this year, meaning we are unable to bring as much to SALUTE. If you really want something head to our online store and place an order for SALUTE pick up.

Enter the codes bellow to gain great savings;

Spend £75.00 or more and use the code SLW10 to get 10% discount
Spend £100.00 or more and use the code SLW15 to get 15% discount
Spend £150.00 or more and use the code SLW20 to get 20% discount

Any Salute Pick Up order placed after the 16th of April we can not guarantee you will have it for Salute.

Empress Miniatures

Spring Lunacy - Presenting the Empress 28mm U-Boat!

Who doesn't want one of these?

To be quite honest we weren't entirely sure whether this should have gone in out terrain or vehicles stores ... but for now it's in our 28mm World War 2 and Spanish Civil War areas.

What can we say? We've always wanted one of these ourselves (or three ...) and they are actually surprisingly versatile. Straight-up battles (for those with big enough tables), Commando raids, Pulp Adventure - this thing makes a great center-piece to a wide range of games. We are particularly proud of the way it breaks down making it easy to store.




After a bit of debate on our Facebook page we have this up at a special pre-Salute price of £59. This will have to go up a bit soon, but we'll hold it at that for now.

We have almost sold out of our initial run of these already (just via word of mouth in fact) so if you would like one for Salute then we highly recommend pre-ordering. Always a good idea, but in this case probably essential.

Empress Miniatures - doing our best to service your Bond Villain fantasies!

Oh man, I wish that U-Boat was released several years ago when I still played 7TV. Bashing the boche would've been so much fun with one of those as a centrepiece.

Come and see the launch of our brand-new range at this year's Salute. The first packs will be unveiled at the show on the 22nd of April. The range will then be made available on our website the following week. So to get a first look at these miniatures and have a chat, visit our stand TL21


Peter Pig

Once again, PP is at Salute. PP is one of the longest-serving traders on the show circuit (33 years, U.K., Europe and U.S.A.). Once again, we are bringing a trade stand and game to this fine show. The stand will have lots of our ranges on it, along with our rule selection. Some ranges will not be with us (Wild West, ancients, fantasy) So do ask if you want packs from those ranges. We have about 2,000 products in total.

Pre-orders through the PP website get a 10% discount too, as a 'thank you' for making our lives easier.

The game this year will be Vietnam. The game has been well received so far (including "best Vietnam game I have played" and other plaudits). Participation, of course. Come and play a turn or two (we don't play full games as most gamers just want a "35-minute go" and a full game could take up to two hours (too much time out of the show duration). Historicon will be full games of course; nine of them!

Figurewise, there should be some more new WWII Russians.

So, get your orders in please and do come and play Vietnam.

Thank You

And absolutely love the Predator! Although, considering all of the conundrums that Prodos supposedly had with Fox, I'm amazed that they permitted him to be clothed in period dress with a flintlocke pistol!

Dark sphere salute table. Rogue one.
Postby nice-vans » Sat Apr 15, 2017 11:29 pm
In my official roll as shop monkey and in store scenery builder I have been given complete freedom this year to build the dark sphere gaming table for salute.

I won't post up the full table plans before the event as it will ruin the end effect, But here are a few pictures of the W.I.P build of the actual scenery.

Spoiler:



Did more work on it today, really trying to get the main structure done in time so i can relax and make 600 more trees.

Built the satellite dish and gave the whole structure a black wash to darken it for highlighting.



And here is the board as it stands right now.

MANTIC GAMES AT SALUTE 2017

Salute is the biggest event in the UK wargaming calendar (well, apart from the Mantic Open Days, of course) and this Saturday (April 22nd) we’ll be there in style! For starters, we’ll be celebrating the launch of Warpath – our epic sci-fi battle game – and we’ll have the UK launch of the show exclusive Lee and Clementine booster for The Walking Dead: All Out War.

Our Salute highlights include:

  • FREE MINI! come to the Mantic stand (TB03) and claim your free Walking Dead: All Out War Walker. That’s right, a cool miniature that’s completely free… while stocks last.

  • THE UK LAUNCH OF LEE AND CLEMENTINE! This will be your first opportunity to pick up the show exclusive Lee and Clementine Walking Dead booster in the UK and we’ll have very limited numbers at Salute. Don’t worry, the set will be available online during the Mantic Open Day on May 6th too.

  • TRY OUT WARPATH! We’ll be holding demos inspired by the Operation Heracles Two-player Battle Set, giving you the chance to go hands-on with the swift and deadly Enforcers or the stalwart Forge Fathers.

  • CAN YOU SURVIVE AGAINST THE UNDEAD? Take to the streets of Atlanta in our Walking Dead: All Out War demos.

  • PAINT YOUR OWN WALKER! Spend some time carefully adding horrific blood effects and gore to a Walking Dead miniature before taking it home to scare your friends.

  • INCREDIBLE WARPATH DEALS! We’ll have a very limited number of the Kickstarter Battlegroups available, including Enforcers, Forge Fathers, Asterians and Veer-myn for £60 each, plus we’ll have GCPS for £50 and Marauder support for £30. You better be quick because they’re bound to go fast!

  • ANOTHER INCREDIBLE WARPATH DEAL! Along with the Battlegroups, you can get an expanded Operation Heracles set, which includes a tonne of Forge Fathers and Enforcers, plus tokens, dice and the Warpath Rulebook Collection, all for just £100!

  • THE WALKING DEAD DEAL! What’s that? You still haven’t played The Walking Dead: All Out War! Well, this is your chance to buy the Core Game and the Days Gone Bye expansion for just £50 (saving almost £10) or you can get a massive Atlanta bundle for £100, giving you everything you need to recreate the story of Rick Grimes as he reunites with his family.



  • However, don’t worry if you can’t make it to Salute because we’ll be recreating some of the deals above on the Mantic website this weekend and, of course, Warpath armies and the Operation Heracles Two-player Battle Set will be available from your local gaming store soon or during the Mantic Open Day on May 6th.

    Nice , always look forwards to this day...

    ..even if my wallet doesn't !?


    ... One feels obligated to remind dakkanauts that we have an ongoing special offer : if you see Mr Legoburner and kick him in his false leg you can win a special prize !

    Rascal that he is, he oft denies this and might even go to the effort of feigning injury but do not let him fool you !

    The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
    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.

    He can be quite nippy when it comes to dodging.

    It's almost like he doesn't like/want people kicking him in the leg ?!

    Miniature Wargames Magazine

    Heading to Salute 2017? Don’t miss our best ever subscription offer!

    Miniature Wargames has had a close involvement with the Salute Wargames show going back a full three decades. For all but one of those years Miniature Wargames has produced the show programme and – as the Salute show itself has grown – so the Miniature Wargames programme has grown with it.

    In 2016, there were around seven thousand gamers in the venue at the height of the one-day show (plus a lot of traders, obviously!) and this year looks set to replicate that astonishing figure.

    Taking place next weekend (22nd April 2017) at ExCel Centre in the heart of London’s dockland, Salute is the biggest wargaming trade show in the UK and attracts companies from all over the world, with the biggest concentration coming from the UK and Europe.

    The large, spacious venue will be packed with hundreds of games to both admire and actually play – many are participation events – and the modelling and painting displayed, not just in the painting competition, will be second to none.

    Plus, don’t miss Miniature Wargames’ best ever subscription offer, just £39.99 for an annual subscription – a saving of over 25%. This offer will only be available at Salute – so pencil in a visit to stand TE03 to make sure you don’t miss it. We’ll see you at the Show!

    Salute 2017: Guild Ball Goes Feral

    What's better than going to the biggest one-day wargaming event in the UK, the one-and-only Salute? Spending it with Steamforged Games, of course! To celebrate the release of the Hunter's 4-player expansion—The Heralds of the Winter's Moon—and Guild Ball Season 3, we’re going feral this month. Not only are we bringing a brand-new Theron sculpt to Salute but we're also cramming this week with heaps of Hunter goodness—Parts II & III of Theron's origin story are coming Tuesday and Thursday, while Wednesday and Friday will dig into Hunter design and tactics. But more on that later...

    For now, start scrolling to see all the specials we'll be stashing at booth TD13 for Salute 2017!
