NEWSLETTER ISSUE#1

The Blurb

Hi and welcome to the very first newsletter for IronHalo.net. This will be a weekly blurb with updates, auctions, a featured mini, and the occasional special offer. I've just picked up the domain name this year, and have been hard at work putting together a site... naturally, that means it's not fully finished yet! All the info is there however, but a few gallery pics still need their expository text, and there may be some cosmetic tweaks along the way. Feedback is totally welcome, but bear in mind I'm a miniature painter not a web designer... Check out the special offers too! mmm, bretonnians...

New Ebay Auctions

Auctions Start at 8pm PST 20/1/4

What's New:

- Everything! The new site, www.ironhalo.net , is fully up to date with all my stuff over the last year, which never quite made it to the last site... All the models that have been on Ebay or Cool Mini or Not are here, and some of the older pictures have been re-edited to not suck as much. There's also much more detailed info about the commission painting that I do, with a pretty solid price guide and a step-by-step breakdown of the commission process.

- New Ebay ID: to co-incide with the change to a new site I have changed my Ebay ID from al_and_rachel to ironhalopainting, because the folks at Ebay won't let IDs look like a website, so ironhalo.net wasn't available. Expect a lot of new auctions in the near future.

- Email address: all painting and Ebay queries can now go to painting@ironhalo.net . The others will still work, but this one is the new Ebay default and is all over the site.

- Featured Mini: Every week I'll be pointing out one of my new minis for perusal. This week it's the Wolfen Vestal that scored a 3rd place in the Chick Challenge IV. Shes also for sale in the For Sale section of the site.

- Next Issue look for the Codex Witchhunters special offer.

Featured Miniature
You are receiving this because in the past you may have won an auction of mine, made a commission query or commissioned something. Or maybe you just asked nicely :-) . If you don't want to receive any more updates email me and let me know.

Special Offers!

Bretonnians:

Bretonnian army deals come out tomorrow in NZ - the local store has 2 left. These deals always sell out...

The box contains 5 Questing Knights, 3 Pegasus Knights, 16 Archers, 8 Knights of the Realm, 8 Knights Errant, 1field trebuchet, 2 damsels of the Lady (mounted and foot), 1 general, 1 army standard, and the Army Book.

Ordinarily the painting (excluding the cost of the miniatures) on this (standard level for the troops and cavalry, better for the Questing and Pegasus Knights, character for the, well, characters) would set you back $1792 excluding postage, but for the first 5 people to book at least an army deal, I'll knock it down to a round $1500 including the postage back to you, which makes it about a 20% discount.

This discount is regardless of the duration of the commission - organise it for all at once, or stretch it out over a few months, but the offer's only good till the end of the month. This is only for the Bretonnian deal. I can possibly purchase one locally, but the exchange rate means that it costs, freakishly, about a hundred bucks more than the US store's box. This is a great way to get a good chunk of an army painted quickly and on the table within a short time of the release.

Bulk deal - Opening special:

Order over $500 worth of painting to be completed in under a 2 month period and get a 10% discount; order over $1500 to be done over 2 months and get a 20% discount. This offer lasts until the 3rd of February, and is not available with the Bretonnian deal.
