Well we got to Claymore super early and managed to have a good mooch about while people were setting up.

I got some shots of some of the games before the doors opened, meant to take more and totally forgot… too busy spending money or pondering whether or I should get something, in some cases my choice wad helped by someone else choosing before me.

I did consider Warlord’s ‘Epic’ Punic wars army. At one end Of the hall Warlord had it for £240 and at the other end of the hall N independent had it for £180… but only one of them. Luckily someone else got there first. I can do the wars in 2 and 6mm so didn’t need another set.

We also had a little participation game run by Warbases. It was a fun little Dungeon crawl…

The mdf tiles are pre coloured and they were for sale… I managed to stop myself buying them. The Miniatures were from Bifrost Miniatures.

I came away with a nice little haul, or should that be a medium sized haul!

I could have easily come back with a massive haul.

Once I get back I will show you what I got.

My son was especially chuffed as I persuaded him to keep visiting the Bring and Buy tables (people had their own this time). He managed to blag himself a pair of big GW Kinights for £50… saving a whopping £160! Up to that point he had been flagging a bit, but was perked up by his purchase.

All in all we were there about five hours. Six if you include pre opening.

Now I wasn’t there last year, but it did seem quieter than last time. Some of the traders thought the same too. Maybe the crowds had spent up at Carronade which by all accounts of said traders was rammed.
