Their mats are really good.

Wait, so if I live in EU I don't have to pay for import duties (vat tax) for buying from Sarissa? That's actually great news.

I would suspect it means you pay for it same time your pay for the merchandise. Rather than them not charging any tax, then having to pay for it when the goods arrive. Thus avoiding whatever fee the delivery service charges for acting as an intermediary.

Speaking of Miniature Market: If you are local they are giving an additional 15% off all in store purchases (including ding & dent items) starting Friday and running thru the weekend.

I usaully only go to the Manchester location - might skip out to the Cave Springs location to check it out and see if they have different stock in their ding and dent section.

Also, thanks to whoever linked Bronze Age Miniatures - I like several models from that line and grabbed up a few during the sale.

That’s nice to know. I’m up there (Manchester) Saturdays for ASOIAF. They were marking slow movers in the store down on Tuesday when I stopped in to pick up an order. They definitely carry different selections at the two locations.

Important to note this is the original metal Warzone, NOT the prepainted reboot, nor the resin reboot, nor the allegedly forthcoming plastic reboot

In your opinion, what makes them good? I am in the market for a mat, but why them instead of one elsewhere.

Basically the designs. Neoprene mats are a mature product and everyone is going to be more or less the same in terms of print resolution/color brightness and mat quality themselves. So I look at the graphics as a decider. I've got mats from them, Tablewar and one from the EU that I cannot remember the name of. All have some good stuff. FAT Mats from FLG have a section that are a bit more realistic and for some games I really prefer that.

Their Badlands is my favorite desert design. Realistic enough but doesn't stand out. https://store.frontlinegaming.org/collections/gaming-mats/products/6174442225829-flg-mats-badlands-2

Thanks for the reply, Monkeysloth. As it happens, that was the main one I was interested in.

{As of 2012, when starting a Necron army, I decided that moving forward that new terrain and further basing would be desert themed. Previously I'd purchased two factions for In Her Majesties Name which called for desert basing, and the bulk of my Malifaux figures did too. Even if I could afford every different biome that I want, there's no place to store it. So desert it is, and basing with sand is easy as well. This is why my Frostgrave collection is Sandgrave.}

I have made three purchases from them, and find them reliable. Their selection is small. They seem to have the best prices and selection of Battlesystems printed cardboard terrain, and their game Core Space. I've started buying from them for my Core Space needs. The original Core Space can be played co-op or H2H, and has a campaign with character development and ship upgrading (the ship is important, but just support). Core Space: First Born is newish, and is pure solo, also with a campaign.

These are cyberpunk figures. The figures are pretty good; the game ... massive fail in my opinion. When I backed their KS, I did so as I did not own a cyberpunk game, and we'd been playing a lot of co-op (this was pre-COVID). So we played three co-op scenarios. The Solo/Co-op mode feels like an afterthought, and is too easy. The cyberspace phase is a waste; it looks meaningful at first, but halfway through game #2 we'd seen most of the deck, and it had all been irrelevant, so our Hacker had been drawing cards for nothing. And the game AI is too easy to exploit: it was like a video game where if a mook walked into a wall, they'd stay there until you killed them. It was that easy. So while I'm mining it for figures, the game as a whole has not seen the table again.

Now, I have not tried it H2H. The cyberspace phase should be relevant there, as each side would draw cards and then play them offensively and defensively. Similarly each side would get [N] number of points and would build and equip their team instead of pre-set loadouts. And of course it's H2H, so the poorly designed AI is not in play.

It's 24 Euros right now, and you do get 37 plastic figures. They are Zombicide level in quality so that's another consideration. The company obviously wants you to pimp the game with their resins.

Thanks! The BF pages are acting strangely, either nothing displayed ("We're Sorry") or 178 items only on sale. Use the above spreadsheet to access individual items. Hover your cursor over an item, then right-click on the link to the product on the MM site. Picked up Rory's Story Cubes: Star Wars, but that was about it. I did see the Vallejo Fleshtones Set. The bottles are 8ml, and two of the paints are Flesh Wash and Black Wash. Still, good for new painters.

They may have fixed it, I've not had any problems. But for me, it's not really a sale. Anything I want is still at the standard discount. Loaded the cart, but won't pull the trigger yet. Maybe they'll sweeten things closer to Xmas, double points or something.

Some nice sales there - I use their resin but sadly that sale is EU only.

Anyone see any good sales on resin out there for BF in the USA?

Wyrd has their sale which is bringing back the catalog of special editions at normal price. Great if there's stuff you've been after.

https://giveusyourmoneypleasethankyou-wyrd.com/collections/special-edition

I was just going to get one set but never realized they had a whole crazy cat lady thing so there went pretty much the rest of my black friday sale budget.

Knight models is doing 25% off stuff (applied at checkout) and some really good bundles for batman. Cheaper then what I've seen in NA (though Knight really has poor distribution here the past few years).

I can also vouch for Troll Hoard Games. They're local to me, linked to a great FLGS, and are good people. I've also bought from them on eBay.

Battle Systems is also having a Black Friday sale. Different percentages of discount on different products.

I highly recommend their products and customer service.

https://mailchi.mp/battlesystems/battle-systems-black-friday-sale

I've seen some Battle Systems in person recently, it's good stuff, very vibrant.

Yes, I'm pleased with the Battlesystems sets I've bought. A cyberpunk core set, the Frontier Worlds Core set, and some "boosters": a med-lab, a docking bay, and detention cells.

I've also purchased the Core Space game from Battlesystems, which gave me a 2nd cyberpunk core set. I'm glad I played Core Space before buying Into the Dark. Each scenario in the campaign has a different map, so set-up and tear down of the map is at least 30 minutes (usually about 45m for me). Battlesystems terrain is easy to assemble and disassemble, whereas from what review videos I've watched, the Into the Dark plastics are difficult, and require filing. So I dodged that bullet, and saved money.
