As we suspected, Warlord were not to be the final trader we announced for this year’s show as we have been able to squeeze in a late booking from Stand To Games.

From the success of the Napoleonic war game rules Over the Hills, authors Quinton Dalton and Adrian McWalter formed the company Stand to Games Ltd early 2017. Their aim is to provide a series of army lists, accessories, 28 mm figure ranges and products to compliment Over the Hills as well other rule sets and gaming periods. Adrian and Quinton have been war gaming since their early teens so have over 80 years of experience between them!

The 20th and final (for now…) trader we can announce as attending this year’s show is Warlord Games.

Formed in 2007, Warlord Games are designers, manufacturers and distributors of finely detailed historical and science fiction miniatures in plastic, metal and resin. Since then they’ve released five core rule sets to cover everything from the Ancients, the Horse & Musket era, the Black Powder era, right through the World War Two and beyond into the future!

Trader number 18 is perhaps the smallest attending our show but is perfectly formed and rather interesting! Welcome back Second Thunder.

Second Thunder are the publishers of splendid Open Combat rule set – a game about close encounters between small groups of individuals. Due to the ‘close-up’ nature of the game you can apply a much more personal approach, putting your own flavour to things which is not appropriate in the more broad brush strokes required for larger engagement games.

If you get the chance we highly recommend you have a chat and a demo game with Carl.

This week we will be making the final trader announcements. Our first trader this week, and number 17 overall is new to us for 2018. Say hello to ABC Brushes.

ABC Brushes stock a wide variety of brushes at really great prices, and suitable for all types of miniature and model painting.

The 15th trader we can announce as attending Hereward 18 are newcomers to our show. Please say hello to TableScape.

TableScape manufactures model scenery for use with 25-30mm figures.  Some pieces, such as their range of modular hills, are suitable for use with other scales. They try to cater for a wide variety of eras from the early modern, through the present, and into the future.  Some ranges are aimed at specific periods or geographical locations, but they have tried to design the models for potential wider use so their customers can get the most out of their purchases.

The 14th trader attending this year’s show is also the show sponsor, so please say a friendly hello to Footsore Miniatures.

Footsore Miniatures was established to provide high quality metal miniatures for gamers and collectors alike. Its foundation is built on the old Musketeer Miniatures range of figures and continues to be principally sculpted by the same designer, Bill Thornhill.

Footsore Miniatures is a trading name for War Banner Limited so this stand will also carry War Banner’s rather splendid Gangs of Rome game which has been gaining popularity recently, and will also have a large selection of MDF buildings and accessories from the Sarissa Precision range.
