Hobbycraft are having an upto 50% off sale on selected items.

Things I noted were;

20% off Flames of War items
Some heavily discounted GW items -
Mines of Moria - £39.99
Baneblade for £39.99

Not sure how much longer this last for but worth a look if you are near.

Nice! Do you know of any other GW items that are discounted?

Wish I had the cash to get a baneblade or two

Could you link it please? I can't seem to find the right place.

Not many mate, mostly it was just a few selected items.

Off the top O me head -
Broadside suits for £9.99
Mumuk? (big elephant for LotR) was reduced
Necron squad for £10

Mostly it was just FoW and a mix of model kits like airfix/hornby trains.

I didn't see any Tamiya included.

Well I bought one, I'm not entirely sure why though?

I can't even find the Baneblade on the website - Guess it is not to be (which is a good thing )

well, there flames of war, lotr set, and a box of zerkers. No tanks for 40k but might of went already. What random stuff to have on hobbycrafts site.

Their website is always rather sort on listings, but the Chelmsford store had a large stock of most FoW lines and the Basildon one was quite sparse but had more GW stuff.

The website for Hobbycraft never seems to have much in stock or listed, but in store is a cornucopia of goodies.

What I'm confused about is why all the brushes were £25, and all the sand/snow/grass pots were aswell!

Good job the sale saves you £20!

Went today, only saw paints on sale in my Hobby Craft.

Did grab a few, and am quite pleased.

Direct link to the Baneblade, Google found it for me.

Must. Resist...

Another thing is that I am not entirely sure that Hobbycraft have intergrates the last round of GW price increases. An extra little bonus.

Tried to order some Broadsides but its not working, gonna give them a call methinks.

Wow, seriously want to order a few broadsides. My brother is in London at the moment, and with that discount I can get 3 broadsides for less than the price of one broadside in Australia...

Hobbycraft at Glasgow Fort don't have any GW items reduced, from what I could see. Nor did they have the Medium Drybrush I traveled over to get; wasted journey. :(

I was very tempted to buy a Revell M16 Half-Track kit I spotted on the shelf for £3, to convert into a Gorka Morka Trakk, but for some reason I passed on it. Man, I regret not picking that up now.

Most of the big GW reduced items were on seperate sales shelves by the tills in the two stores I went to.

When you pick up your baneblades don't forget a pack of blades for your craft knife to remove all the rivets with...

Just been given the OK by high command (the wife) for a Baneblade - however, hobbycraft is not allowing me to add it to my basket :(

Any thoughts?

Call their customer service, they may well take an order on the phone.

Call the BAsildon store, they had one there, they might post it to you? (assuming I don't get there first )

Might have to phone up my local(s) and see if they have it in stock and see if I can reserve it

Filled out a "contact us" form on their site, so hopefully they will get back to me.
