Games day 2013 or as it quickly became known Retail Day was a bit of a let-down after excellent shows the last two years. I found like many gamers that by the time the afternoon came around I had ran out of things to do and really felt the absence of the gaming boards.
The store area was no less manic despite the reduced numbers and larger store floor space. Sadly Forgeworld was pretty much sold out by the time I got there and the main store was also largely what you would expect to find in any high-street store, unsurprising following the death of specialist games this year.
My best purchase of the day was insignium Astartes, which has some really detailed pictures of the company banners and a range of ideas for the squad designation's.
There were some excellent miniatures and boards on show which did make up part of the ticket price but all in all I came away jaded, with only a couple of limited edition books to show for my trip down to the Birmingham NIA.
