The transfer window is open

       My first post since Salute, its been that sort of week. I am not going to do the whole Salute review and photos thing as so many other bloggers have done a great job already, and I am not even going to do a picture of my haul, as I forgot to do one before I started building stuff. Suffice to say my trusty backpack was full to the brim and I am going to add at least a couple more labels into my theme bar.
      The one thing I will say about Salute, though, was it was great to meet all the other bloggers, I didn't hang around anywhere near long enough, something I will rectify next year, but putting some faces to random screen names was really worth doing, especially finally meeting the Sir Michael Awdry. It would be nice if the next step for the blogging community was to organise games between bloggers or even a full meet up and game day?

      This post is about the first of my finished Salute purchases; a new Guildball Player for each of my two teams and another version of the Fishermen's guild player Kraken. The two new players were unlocked right at the end of the Kickstarter, because the teams you got as basic were big enough for the biggest size game I decided to hold off adding extra players as the costs were starting to spiral.

Jac - Fishermen's Guild

Tower - Mason's Guild

Kraken (again) - Fishermen's Guild

    There I was on twitter, seeing what was happening on the build up to Salute, and then Guildball tweets a picture of a limited edition model they will be putting on sale at Salute, and for some strange reason my wallet started crying uncontrollably. Here he is though, a stunning sculpt that I expect from this company now, and they haven't fallen into the trap that a lot of companies do with limited edition versions in games that use individual figure cards, they haven't beefed up the stat card at all, this is just a different sculpt, not an uber model. Wargamers are always going to buy limited edition models, we can't help ourselves, but I don't like rule sets where you have to buy them to stay relevant.
     On other news I think I am on the verge of organising a game or two for Guildball, so hopefully I will be posting a game up soon.

    I also need to find out what people prefer to read on blogs, as I have seen lots of different styles online. Do you prefer to have multiple posts in a row on the same project so you can watch it grow before moving onto another one, or do you like posts of what ever has come off the painting desk the most recently? I keep trying to do the first but keep drifting into the second.

Thanks for reading
