My first ever Goblin Green bases! 😍
This is one of our "rescues" - taking a customer's abandoned project into a fully painted piece of Warhammer history.
You can find this copt of Talisman 3rd Edition on our Ebay store today!

We had a couple of contenders for 'coolest find' today, but we've decided the coolest is this thrash metal gem!
Flexi-Disc by Sabbat, still in place in White Dwarf issue 95!
The recording we found on Youtube was the soundtrack to our afternoon!

We sell pre-owned games for a living and we take pride in making sure that pre-owned games arrive with customers in good condition.
When buying games for our personal collection, we often buy pre-owned too, and taking good care of games for shipping is sadly not the norm!
Pergola arrived today 😭😭😭

We've just started a new "Tabletop Rescue" project and it's going to be a long road.
We're aiming to sort this joblot of Marvel Champions back into saleable format, as well as trying to rescue the playmats that have seen better days.
Wish us luck!

My wife, Amy, is the one who taught me to paint and is responsible for most of the painting projects we undetake at Tabletop Rescue.
I'm encouraging her to enter into more painting competitions - would you be kind enough to encourage her too, by liking and reposting her amazing non-binary horse! 💖

We're looking for help identifying the White Dwarf issue that may contain this Tallarn Desert Raiders Army.
We have almost every back issue of WD in stock, so if the rumour is true then we'll be able to pair the army and the White Dwarf magazine it's from which would be SUPER COOL!

Random question:
I've just acquired a well painted Tallarn Desert Raiders army.
Allegedly, though I currently have no proof, it was an old white dwarf army.
Could anyone possibly rack their brains about what issue they might have been in if true?
Please share until we find the truth.

"The breakfast of (Sigmar's) Champions!"
As a teenager, one of my best friends painted Warhammer and I really did not understand the appeal. Fast forward 20 years and today I made a detour to Warhammer World for breakfast!
I wish I'd discovered tabletop games sooner, but at least I did eventually!

I always dreamed of being able to walk to another gamers house and, thanks to this business, I now know;
Al - from my local game group
Geoff - who is opening a Warhammer club in town
Ebay guy - who lives at the end of my street
Side Note: Don't message us on ebay for discounts - email us instead!

We've completed another "Rescue" project this morning.
We bought these three Battletech boxes 3 months ago, but the minis have only just been located by the original owner and now they're reunited.
Now we'll find them a new home where they'll hopefull hit the table soon!

Most people associate our business with buying and selling pre-owned board games, but we're often most excited when we receive TTRPGs and Warhammer.
Today we hit the jackpot with Warhammer TTRPGs - two different eras of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay amongst lots of other great books!

Expeditions (the sequel to Scythe from @stonemaiergames.com) is our latest addition to our personal collection.
It's unusual for us to love a new game enough to sleeve the cards, buy the expansion, add upgraded coins and paint the minis all in 1 week!

This big stack of historical war games is a single customer order from one of our regulars.
We recently starting talking more about our wishlist service and it's awesome to be fulfilling orders for some sought after grail games for our customers.

Last night we got the chance to play Finspan from @stonemaiergames.com
It's a much lighter gamer than we were expecting, but it was about right for us after a hectic week here.
Wyrmspan still tops the charts for -span games, but we'd be happy to play again.
What do others think?

I could have said no, those are mummy toys...
But the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium* could use an injection of childlike joy, wonder, monkeys, and submarines.
*Yes, technically 42nd, but that just doesn't flow.

I know it seems small, but getting our first branded clothing today is a weirdly proud moment for me.
I've been running this business full-time for almost a year and we're going to celebrate with a (hopefully) huge weekend at Airecon! @aireconuk.bsky.social
Will we see you there?
