A week ago, I ordered a couple of sets of Kallistra's HEXON terrain, plus additional scenic odds and ends. I live in the Southeastern US, and a few minutes ago the box was delivered. What tremendous customer service! I've never ordered anything from Kallistra before, but they have just gained a loyal client. Well done, folks. (Oh, and the terrain? Fantastic!)

What did you order and what did they charge for shipping?

I have a ton of Hexon II from Kallistra.

I buy them direct at UK shows so no postage, one advantage for living in the UK.

I ordered two of the boxed sets of terrain hexes, along with 9 other sets such as roads, brooks, hills, mountains, etc. Product total was 302.57 GP, and shipping was 57.05 GP.

Jim,

Your Kallistra and figures look GREAT! What scale are your figures and how are they based? It looks like they are on sabots?

Kallistra are a fantastic uk company and lovely people to chat to I have their acw and eastern medieval. 100 per cent reliable to deal with.

@Desert Fox

My figures are 10mm Seven Years War from Pendraken.

The sabots are scratch built (I made them a few years ago before MDF sabots became popular) using polystyrene sheets, steel paper and self adhesive magnetic strips.

Each infantry figure is on a 10x10mm base of styrene sheet with self adhesive magnetic strip underneath. The sabots are polystyrene sheet topped with steel paper and edged with more styrene sheet. Both figure bases and the sabot edges are textured with what you would call spackling.

I have them organised into two armies in my 'NOT-7YW' collection. Various rules used require both single figure casualties as well as large saboted units.

@ExtraBio1947

That's a good order from Kallistra and the shipping wasn't too severe.

Have fun with it.
