Hasslefree Miniatures - Newsletter

A nice bonus offer for Salute 2019 from Hasslefree Miniatures...
-------------------
48hr Salute Countdown!
48hrs 'max' left, probably less by the time this goes out. Ifyou want resin masters for the show I'd suggest the next 24hrs to make sure.

If you read the last newsletters, you'll be able to guess that Salute is... ill-timed this year. But, we'll be there so we're going to do our best with it :)

I've cheated a bit with the images etc, all these will be fixed post-Salute when we're back to normal and it will be 'glorious', but for now, we'll make do with what we have,

Right, let's get on with it!
Salute Collection Code
As always there's a nice freebie on offer for those of you who order your Salute goodies in advance. You can pick from an extensive list of items (35 different codes from across our entire range!)
The code this year is the highly original 'SALUTE2019', and please remember you enter it on the 'confirmation' page, which is the last one before payment details. There's a box at the top of the page.
(Every code we get people writing it in the comments box, other than making me smile, that does absolutely nothing! :) )
Also if your order is over £60 then the chosen freebie will also be dropped into a lil HF goodie bag, if you order over £120 it'll be a double sized bag and so on!
The code wil be active until Tuesday the 2nd of April!
We aren't packing any pre-orders after that date, you'll just have to bring your lil scrappy piece of paper with you and we can both struggle to read your writing ;)
FOR ANYONE NOT GOING TO SALUTE!
This is 'not' a free delivery code, this is a 'collection' code. If you use it to try and get free delivery it won't work as we do 'not' see your address. Collection codes blank that for us so we couldn't even accidentally send it to you :)
Any orders coming through this way will sit in a box until we get back from Salute and then we'll email you to invoice for postage, it's really not a good idea :D
Why Pre-Order?
1. It can get 'very' busy on the day, having a nice pre-order already packed to pick up is a lot easier than reaching around backpacks to grab that last Lenore off the hook.
2. We run out of things. We bring as much as we can but every year we run out of 'something' and this year, thanks to events listed in our last newsletters, those somethings may be more than usual.

3. There's a nice free gift for ya.

4. Resin Masters! We do 'not' bring Resin Masters, like Abercrombie above, to the show unless they are in pre-orders. 

5. Non-miniatures. We don't bring all of our 'bitz' to the show. So if you want bases, stickers, ball bearings, modern trooper heads or whatever then you also have to pre-order them.

6 Gamezone. See below :)
Where Are We at Salute?
Salute have kindly left the layout much the same so I can just use last years' highly informative map (The numbers are different but barely visible so I'm ignoring that and saving myself a job) :)

We are TM17 in our usual 'Hasslefree Corner'. 

The guys at Random Platypus will be right next to us with their show games ...
Random Platypus Games
Multiple games from our Friends at RP are at Salute this year, including some HF miniatures of course.

Details can befound HERE and HERE
Metal Show Releases
We can confirm these minis will be at the show with us,  all of the moulded correctly! :)

We are hoping to have the pre-release metals of the following at the show with us...

(And when we say 'pre-release' we really mean pre-release, some of these won't be available for months on the site)

All of our Kickstarter Miniatures

Major Hoare

Carol

Indiana and Jones

Kaela Yu

Hurin and Morwenna

Maybe even the 3 Dynamic Vikings below!

(Resin links provided for reference, and to help you make your lists ;) )

Everyone interested in those, cross your fingers.We'll also only have the intitial low number of spins in stock, so as always with these, first come first served!

Right, on to the Resin!
The 'Matt Dixon Kickstarter Minis
Well that's the largest photo we've ever put in a newsletter :D

The easiest way to handle this is to just links to the Fantasy Resin Masters page.

You can find the Human Releases in the middle of the page from code H171 onwards, the Companions in the M codes and the Undead Releases right at the bottom of this page.

(Please read section above this for release dates)

I'm putting this here not just to remind people these are now on general release but as a reminder of what metal minis will be available at Salute.
Resin Master - Elite Hoare
Major John Hoare - The Major is technically a part of the Galactic Navy's ATF. Trained under Commander Slaughter during the Druusch Wars, John found himself particularly drawn to Jungle planet fighting. Raised in a similar climate, John loves the heat and the close quarters environment. Opting, usually, for some kind of pistol and combat knife combo plus his own extensive hunting skillshowever, sometimes, he upgrades to some more major firepower.
This mini is an homage to both the schlocky sci-fi movies of the past and 80s action movies. He's wearing a vest and combat pants / boots and is armed with totally unsuitable weaponry for alien based jungle combat. But he looks tough as nails doing it! . Because of that he's listed as a Modern miniature as he has pretty much no sci-fi trappings whatsoever!
Resin Master - Dynamic Bjornolf
Bjornolf Beornson, a raider in Ulfred's clan. Big, strong, fearless and usually carrying a very large axe. Seen here mid leap.
Resin Master - Dynamic Sigrid
Sigrid Hjálmun, a shieldmaiden armed here with her round shield, sword wearing her runehelmet. Seen here mid battle.
Resin Master- Dynamic Halvdan
Halvdan Rasmussen, one of the few outsiders in Ulfred's clan. His heritage may be mixed but his loyalty is true. Seen here mid battle with smaller, faster weapons than his maul.
Resin - Tryke
Tryke, a baby dinosaur companion.
Dawn mini for size comparison purposes only
Resin - Thumper
Thumper, a hunter demonic companion
Lenore Skyclad shown for size comparison puporses only
Resin - Tymestl & Tyranau
Tymestl & Taranau, sabre-toothed snow leopard companions
Gamezone Miniatures
Yes, we'll have Gamezone at Salute.
We 'may' have the out of stock minis in too, cross your fingers, otherwise they'll be back in stock online after the show.

You'll notice the bulk of them have nifty videos rather than images. If those don't work for you, don't worry, after Salute photos will be added, for now it was quicker to embed the promo videos for the listings :) 
Restocks!
And Finally...
After Salute we'll reboot our metal release schedule, starting with the Salute release and the KS minis and going from there. We should have some 'coming soon' resins and/or greens in our display case at the show so you can nose at what's in our immediate future.

My background television for work this week has been Good Girls. Which is surprisingly fun, reminds me a lot of Weeds. The only distracting part is that everyone in-universe has to ignore that Christina Hendricks looks like Christina Hendricks. It's quite distracting.

Isn't Brexit/Non-Brexit fun? No? Correct.

If I've made any mistakes above, well, too late now! :) Been a while since one of these, I'll get back into the swing of things soon enough.

(Oh and remember, don't reply to the newsletter email for now, we're still using bwartemis@gmail for such things)

'til next time,

Arty.
