Thanks for all your help & ideas guys, I can now reveal the ranges I\'ll be carrying (subject to confirmation)

WFB
40k
Blacktree Romans
Artizan WW2
Renegade ACW,ECW,Celts
Warmachine (BIG chunk of the range)
Confrontation
Hybrid
Dark Age
Foundry AWI
Westwind - gladiator wars and the like
Rules to support the above
Vallejo Model Color & Game Color full ranges
Pegaso models

If you visit, you\'ll find a really smartly presented shop with ash effect slatwalling, illuminated display cabinets etc, FREE filter coffee on the go all the time, but on the down side... yours truly lol

Opening day will be 4th december where I\'ll be offering 10% discount across the board for that day only.

none of the perries stuff?

also check out crusader miniatures

finally the most likley choice for historical rules atm is wab (warhammer ancient battles) its basically wfb for historicals so its a good crossover for the warhammer lot, which if you\'re stocking GW i imagine that you will get a lot of

Finn: I\'m itching to give out the address but until the GW account\'s set up I\'m keeping it quiet incase the local toyshop get arsey. I\'ll PM it to you.

Waxfive: Tried to get the Perries AWI, ECW, Samurai and Crusades but they\'re not taking on any more trade accounts at the moment, unfortunately. So the Samurai will now be coming from Artizan. Blacktree may also be providing some more ww2., and I\'m also looking into taking Crusader\'s Caesarian Romans to supplement the ones from Blacktree.

Been confirmed today that Foundry will be providing their excellent AWI range.

And, on top of all this, I\'ll also have some great scenery from Eslo, and there\'ll be parts of the Old West range and rules to support all the historical ranges including WAB etc.


I\'ve not gone into this lightly, as I think wargamers have been deprived for too long, of the ability to walk into a shop and be surrounded by the best games/minis/paints/rules from manufacturers from across the board. Obviously I can\'t carry everything but 15-20k of stock should be a good start :D

Fingers crossed???

Oh, one other thing I can\'t decide: Gangs of Megacity One, worth having?

Got the PM and I have put your address in my address book.
I would love to come down for the grand opening to offer some support but it will depend on work and also getting the car back to being reliable again :(.
Still if it is possible I will be there. I think that the Gangs of Mega City One should be a good line 2000AD and Judge Dredd are very popular.

Yes, there\'ll be a website for the shop with online shopping too.

I designed my last site myself but there\'s no way I\'ve got the time at the moment to do all that again. Thankfully, one of my painting clients owns a web design business and he\'s doing it for me. Thanks Jamie.

Tidoco, it\'d be great to have you there. Thanks for info on MC1 too

Gangs of Mega City One???

I am a huge fan. I can fill a room with old copies of 200AD Judge Dredd Megazine etc. I am not sure it is that popular however....

Since Rebellion have taken over 2000AD however, a lot of investment has taken place and they are certainly pushing their product.

You can probably guarentee one customer however...as long as the price is competitive:D
