First of all, I’d just like to thank everyone who took the time to respond to my request for

feedback in the last issue, be it by emailing us or coming to see us at one of the events

we’ve attended so far this year. We are taking on board everything you say, even if we

can’t necessarily act on it all at once.

I would like to take this opportunity to address one of the points that has been raised a

few times since we started producing Irregular - namely, are we going to do a printed ver-

sion of the magazine?

Social Media Manager

Rebecca Hubbard

Well, it is something we are looking into - those of you who saw us at the painting event

at Maelstrom in February will have been able to take a look at our demo copy of issue 3,

which was produced by a print-on-demand service called Lulu. If we do produce a printed

version, then this is the sort of quality we want to be able to provide to you. The down-

side to this is the price of getting such a product printed - if we go through the print-on-

demand route, then a copy of issue 3 would set you back roughly £15, including postage.

When I ﬁrst saw that costing, I recoiled, but remember that we are talking about a

quarterly magazine here, not a monthly - it works out at roughly £5 per month, which is

only slightly more than White Dwarf, for instance. Also, as Irregular is not concerned with

making a proﬁt, we would be making sure that the magazine was supplied to you at cost,

rather than with a mark-up.

As it stands, we’ve not reached any ﬁnal decisions on the subject of printing, and I’m sure

it is a subject that will cause much debate at the next Irregular staff meeting. Hopefully

I’ll be able to report back with more information in the summer, but we’ll see. In the

meantime, we do have a poll running on the website regarding what sort of interest there

is in getting the magazine printed, so please make sure you vote.

Hi folks, we’re back with another hobby-ﬁlled magazine. It’s been a busy few months for

me, as well as for a lot of the guys & gals involved in Irregular. I’ve moved house, and

Shefﬁeld Irregulars have started the show season, attending a couple of shows to date

- one of which included providing painting demonstrations at a Warlord Games event.

This issue sees some great articles and two excellent interviews with recognisable faces

from the hobby - we managed to bag interviews with Mike McVey, former ‘Eavy Metal

painter and sculptor, and Andy Remic, an outstanding Sci-Fi & Fantasy author. On top

of that we have a fantastic face painting tutorial by 2009 Golden Demon Winner David

Heathﬁeld, also known as Mr. Scream on various forums.

Mr. Barker has pulled out another RPG gem, this time for Traveller, so check that one out.

Dave is becoming infamous within Shefﬁeld Irregulars and on-line for his amazing hobby

collection, which should be checked out at the Azalean Empire. I’ve ﬁnally seen this in

the ﬂesh - well, metal and plastic; you get what I mean, I hope - and it is bigger in real

life than the pictures do justice.

We also have another great instalment of Tuk Tuk from Will, along with a plethora of

other great articles.

Oh, before I forget, check out the Art Competition on page 5.

Next issue sees our ﬁrst anniversary, and we have some plans for that issue that should

not be missed. I’ll tell you all the story of how this enterprise came about - and yes, it

did involve a pub, some beer, and me getting slightly drunk. Are you starting to get the

picture yet?

Well that’s all for now folks - I’ll see you next issue, and enjoy this one.

Triples 2010 - Martin Walters

Triples is the biggest show in the north of

England, second only to Salute in terms of

size, yet it manages to retain a friendly atmo-

sphere. Traders and gamers are only too happy

to talk about their latest efforts or future

projects. It is a good place to meet up with

fellow gamers and hatch plans for your next

big project, or to ﬁnd the ﬁgure - or range -

you’ve been looking out for.

April sees the return of Shefﬁeld Triples,

the wargames show organised by Shefﬁeld

Wargames Society. Triples is a mix of traders,

demonstrations and participation games. Past

shows have seen vast Napoleonic games, tank

hunting dogs and gnome snail riders defending

their garden home. Triples has something for

every gamer, whether you prefer to battle in

space, in the air, on the seven seas or across

the open ﬁelds there are enough games and

suppliers to interest everyone.

Keep the 17th and 18th April free, save four

pound coins for the entry fee - three for chil-

dren and concessions - and another couple of

hundred for ﬁgures, and I’ll see you there.

This year’s show takes place in a new venue,

the English Institute of Sport (EIS Coleridge

Road S9 5DA) in the Don Valley. This means

better transport links, more parking and more

space than the previous venue. It also means

a new addition is possible - a medieval com-

bat and archery tournament, where you can

marvel at men in armour trying to outdo each

other in various Olde Worlde sporting events.

If you need more information leave a message

on the Shefﬁeld Triples 2010 Facebook page or

email triples@shefﬁeldwargames.co.uk .
