On my way 🙂
Guess the hangovers ain’t to bad if you got posts up this early 😉
How did @lancorz find flying lol?
All good, didn’t like it banking side to side… or the two attempts at landing.
Lol
Just imagine you’re in a rollercoaster 😉
Besides …
any landing you can walk away from is a good one 😀
Better two attempts than one complete and utter failure.
Okay… let the coverag beginn ^^
Salute 2018 in Rotterdam please :p
Utrecht would be much better … but failing that Eindhoven isn’t bad either. 😉
Utrecht would indeed be better
On my way now 🙂
Have fun guys. Wish I was there.
So I’m placing this comment with false hope that for first time in life I’ll actually win something in a lottery. Feel free to prove me that aint gonna happend.
Wish I was there but had to choose between Salute and UKGE.
Love that Frostgrave table. Looking forward to the coverage. Always so much to see so I’ll be interested to see what cool stuff you find that we haven’t seen before.
Have fun guys
I sadly can’t make it, but I wish you loads of fun and I’m looking forward to all your great pictures and videos.
Wish I could make it this year; the stars haven’t aligned correctly for a few years now, but I will be back at some point as it is a blast! Have a great day everyone!
Sweet, have a great day guys!
That’s Lloyd talk for ‘take more pictures now Dave!’
Thanks for the coverage!
What a super weekend is lined up. One day I shall attend!
One day I’ll take a trip down to Salute. It’ll happen…
Waiting for my nephew(8) to take him to his very first experience of salute after getting interested in warhammer a couple of months ago
Is this a bit like the British version of Adepticon?
Kinda of but much different. Think of the vendor area at Adepticon but 10 times bigger. Throw in full size demo tables in between in the aisles. That is Salute, no tournaments or big games. Mostly sales. It is an amazing experience and we really enjoy it. We are really sad we are not this year. It is worth the trip from the States. The Backstage meet up is always a great time. I highly recommend it to anyone.
I hope i wish be there with you next year
Wish I was going today 🙁
Wish I was going – would like someone to go to black scorpion to see if they have any more info about the tombstone kickstarter
Wish I was going, probably could have if I hadn’t spent so much ‘socialising’ this month.
Damn, ain’t been to salute in 5 years, wish I was there
Wish you were too dude
At salute, Justin I’m coming for my hug. Warren, missing you mate :p
Breakfast done so on my way . All the shiny stuff here is come hahaha
Let the coverage begin. Have a great time guys for us that can’t make it
Enjoy guys! Sadly missing this one 🙁
Wish I could be there too but thanks for the coverage, great work as always guys!
Be there soon! 🙂
Hmm, as with every year of seeing pictures of the event I’m sat here thinking next year I must go . . . Hopefully I’m not sat here in 2018 thinking next year I’ll go . . .
Looking forward to some nice coverage on my birthday 🙂
wish i could be there any chance you could find the art of war studios stall, he has some nice new infinity terrain for sale there
B.O.W rocks
I’m so gutted I can’t be there this year.
Would love to go, but 444 miles….
Setting off from Brighton shortly, see you guys there!
Greetings from America, hope you guys are having a good time while running around like crazy getting the coverage for us!
Wish I was there, watching the live blog is just as good, well done guys
have fun guys, enjoy your day!
Looks like another class event, one day……
I’m so excited to see what gets covered!
Good to have coverage as this is the first time in 10 years I have not been able to make it.
That neo tokyo panda noodle shop is amazing!
I’ll join the Corus
Wish I was there, look forward to seeing pics of lots of shiney new stuff 🙂
Ahh salute. I see you vicariously every year, but never get to visit.
Mantic ran out of Lee & Clementine, boo hoo
Might go next year… this year I go based on your coverage 🙂
Have a great time everyone. Really wish I was there 🙂
Awesome as always. Great job!
Oh man. I wish I was there. Definitly gonna have to stash some cash for next year!
justins the man …a shiney dome of awesomeness waxing lyrical like a blackbird early in the morning giving my ears a treat as he with his massive knowledge of all things gaming keeps me imformed and entertained……ooooh its a joy to be alive and and tuned in (wonder if that years supply is in the bag )……warren who?
Very nice coverage, thank you guys!
shame I can’t make it today, that will teach me to be in Cornwall!
You guys do have the best job in the World.
Gutted! Really wanna be there.
I’m having to paint the lounge instead
Looking forward to checking all this put today.
I’m looking forward to seeing the spartan games booth. I wonder what they will show off. Great job. Keep up the good work.
Damn, wish I had made the trip down from sunny Shropshire now. Looks excellent. At least I have your blogs to help console me. Already making plans to attend next year!
Well been round once, brought stuff, then took it back to hotel for round two, still have not found the Rogue One game!
Top coverage guys. All the 4ground stuff looks amazing!!!!!
I really will have to go to the UK for Salute next year!!!
Just back from Salute with the young lad, he had a great time, and managed to come back with two bags brimming with swag. It felt slightly less full on than last year, it felt like there wasn’t quite as much there, but what there was was epic!
I can’t get enough of all that sweet terrain!
I sooooo wish I had been able to attend Salute!
Maybe next year…
One day i will make it… Looks awesome as always
Said hello to Justin on Wild West Exodus stand, brought Test of Honour, a Japanese Bridge and a gate and more Romans from Victrix. Then back started to go, so off to pub up road and blob.
So much cool stuff but god my feet hurt
Looking awesome!
I wish there was a good event around Newfoundland…maybe I’ll go across the pond next year!
Looks really fun
i wish i could be there
Thanks for the coverage. Maybe I can visit across the pond one day…
My wallet weeps at the idea
Be nice to see some interviews with more companies that arent on BoW every other week
Looks like a great event, have fun to all lucky enough to be able to attend.
i’m very jealous now… off to work i guess
Well in pub with 5 minute walk back to hotel at some point ,to all Beasts safe journey home thanks to Justin and team for coverage , even with all the tempting shiney things, see some of you at Games Expo.
I love your Salute live blog in every year! Thank you for this guys!
I really need to save when these events are on, always end up missing them. Some beautiful tables set up there though, especially that Infinity table. Hubba hubba
Looking forward to catching up on all the blog posts, one of these days I’ll have the time & money too go – only problem would be figuring how to get home with everything i’d bought
Wish I could’ve gone to this. Looks so so good!
That Guildball prize seem to dwarf the rest
What a day realy glad I went . Great tables and to much shiny stuff spent loads ahhhhhhh .
so many prizes wow!
Thanks guys for covering this show it looks fantastic. Keep up the good work.
Didn’t make it for my maiden visit this year, but will aim to be there next year. Cheers for the great coverage though, it’s great to get access to these types of events as and when they occur rather then reports posts that only crop up days and weeks later after the excitement has faded (though they still have their place too for the in-depth details & impressions).
Very cool impressions. Unfortunately it’seems way to much away for me.
You jammie buggers.
Looking at all those shiny toys… I really have to attend it someday. Have fun everyone who can
Well, since i’m starting to watch the vids, by now the show is probably over so, i trust you guys had a great day!
Would love to be with you 😉
Perhaps next time!
Had a really great day and managed not to succumb too much to shiny syndrome for once. Managed to get a demo game of fabled realms and have to say it is looking rather good
Nice coverage
Always love these live blogs from various shows that I can never attend. Nothing like living vicariously through other gamers! 🙂
Salute is looking super insane!! I’ll have to dig into this more after I get some house cleaning done. Well the sooner I start, the sooner I’ll be able to get back to this. 🙂
Awesome coverage. Thanks from the US!
Looks like it’s going to be another good one this year. Have fun guys.
Prize bundle looks amazing. Am I right in thinking – one person wins all of the things?
Can’t wait to see the coverage. Just wish I could visit from USA.
That was a fantastic day. Really enjoyed getting to give Drowned Earth a try 🙂
cracking day out
Man what a awesome price. Actually i will divide it up.
OMG what a day, we are now busy going through all the shiny stuff bought today, life can’t get better….. except my feet hurt !!
So so so unhappy I couldn’t make it… Was going to be my 6year olds first time as well! Got to start them young
Next year will be my year I pledge it now!
Still blogging at 8.15pm hours ,well done lads over 12 hours shows devotion beyond the calls of duty, special Noprizes to the team
Looks epic as usual. I really must try get over there next year.
Great show. Plenty of “shineys” on display.
Loving the saga twilight and warploque looks interesting
Spend the day at salute come back watch more and see what you missed…
So many great looking miniature games so little time. Can’t wait to finish my degree so I have some time and money to play more.
That is one awesome prize pool!
Another excellent day at Salute. Just a shame i didn’t get to see Justin and the guys from BoW in the flesh
That was a great day, spent too much though!
Loving the coverage, thanks guys!
Great coverage and wish I was there. Best of luck to everyone on the prize.
The show looks great.
I really wish I could go 🙁
Thanks to the team for the coverage.
What a day that was! Until next year
well my Daughter is in bed, dinner has been eaten 13 hour shift ended at 20:00 I guess I should go back and watch Salute coverage and cry into my soft drink
Wish I wasn’t on the other side of the world, you lucky blaggards
A lot of great stuff again this year. Thanks to the guys for all the great coverage.
Seemed like a great show.
It’s—-just—ONE—day!? Nooooooooo! It cannot be, they really should look at making Salute into a two or three day event. With tea, sausages and those whatcha call its… baps!
It was a good day out, i see Justin a wandering around a couple of times
Thanks all for the coverage, and for getting in so many shots of the awesome gaming tables 🙂
Great coverage throughout– Nice job Beasts. Thanks also to deaddave and peachy –you guys rock.
Excellent coverrage, lot`s of great stuff.
8am Sunday, Aussie time.
Kettle on? Check
Comfy robe on? Check
68 vlog posts to watch. Awesome!
Note for future self, when the mind goes “oh well you can do without going to Salute for once…” Don’t bloody listen!
Signed your old self that is less old than you are now (in your own face, which is also technically mine…. crap)
Bring me the hobby goodness!
Looked like a great show, shame I couldn’t go.
Awesome coverage for another year of this event. Much to consume! I really need to find similar events here in Oz… don’t think that there are many like it.
All being well, will be there next year 🙂
Wow you guys have all the bases covered
One of these days I’ll have to drag my arse to Salute. It looks great.
Was delighted to see some Bushido coverage. The new 4ground terrain kits look really cool.
Started my salute journey today at 7:30am and just got back 20mins ago….my legs are killing me but had fun!
What a fun show thanks guys for the coverage.
So much stuff packed into one day. Just amazing that anyone can survive all that gaming goodness. Great job as always guys. I enjoy living vicariously through you for the day. I am sure you will be sleeping well tonight.
Great work guys, I wish I were there 🙁
Craziest prize ever
What a prize haul… I really enjoyed salute this year. I manages to pick up everything i wanted and caught up with so many people. Next up UKGE
I’m going to sit and watch all of this after I watch the hockey playoff games. It looks just from looking at the posts that it was once again a very successful Salute.
Once again thanks for all the work guys. It’s amazing just how much you managed to get seen. If that’s a barebones crew you took no one would be able to tell.
Here we go, best show of the year.
Great stuff keep it coming.
Great job this year guys.
Dear lord, I really want to win the guidball stuff!
Please, please, pleaaaasee?
I enjoyed the show and found some great new companies to buy minis from.
So much awesome. So wish I could have been there but hopping over from Korea….. bit far;)
Amazing coverage! reaaly hope to be able to attend one day, everything looks incredible
Amazing show! Those tables are very inspiring.
I wish we saw such awesome shows as this here in Australia!
A great way to unwind after a 15 hour work day is to watch every single video that I missed today! Time to watch my money flow down the drain! Bring on the plastic, resin and metal goodness!
Really enjoying the videos. I’m super excited for those British paratroopers! Can’t wait for their release. The new cavalry look cool as well. Any chance you guys could do some Black Powder? I would be real interested in a well produced video of a game or two of it!
Thanks for the coverage. Maybe someday we get stuff like salute here in the finland too.
Great coverage as always Guys! Thanks for taking us to the show
Yeah yeah baby
Can’t wait to behold all these wonderful tables! And heres to winning a bundle!
Wow that is exciting, that mega prize is going to be awesome, whoever wins that is scoring big time.
Great blogs and pics. Thanks.
Great job guys. I have to be honest and say I miss the old salutes in 4 parts with Warren walking around all the vendors but to fit as much in with such a small team is no small feat. Thanks for all the footage.
holy cow! there loads of comments on this blog now! amazing!
went there and saw lance and justin doing their thing, decided not to photobomb them though
hope everyone got what they wanted! i know the walking dead lee and clementine sold out fast!
All the shiny! It’s probably a good thing that I couldn’t make it this year – my credit card would have suffered…
Awesome content covering the show. Great for people like me who Couldn’t make it. Thanks
maybe next year im live in London, maybe…
Had fantastic time. Met lots of amazing people, feet have now fallen off. Going back next year.
Great day, great coverage. Well done guys
I don’t believe any of this. I was wandering around the single hall for the best part of 6 hours and didn’t see you guys once! I had my anti-bacterial wipes ready to prep Justin’s head for a licking and everything…
Thanks for all the great coverage BoW. Now I just need to win the prize to make up for the missing up out on the event exclusive mini in my goody bag 😉
Awesome coverage as always, Thanks guys.
Thank you guys for this live blog (again)! 😉
I wanna attend next year!!!
Thanks a lot for the awesome coverage. I hope i can make it to the show next year.
Missed Salute due to watching an atrocious game of football. Catching up now, and oh my are my eyes a-goggling at that pile-o-prizes!
So there I was, traipsing round Salute for about five hours (I have no idea how I spent that long there)- and not once did I see the BoW crew! Did you have classes in Ninja stealth before you started filming?
Give me a year or two and I’ll be there 🙂
Amazing coverage and fantastic for those of us on the other side of the world. With the amount of cool stuff there, I’m surprised they don’t have shopping trolleys!
Thanks again for the coverage.
Ps: if I win the mega bundle I will pay shipping to Australia!
no Mantic catchup?
They are in this week’s weekender 🙂
I was surprised Warlord didn’t talk about Test of Honour. Did you guys get around to have a look at Rumbleslam the wrestling game. I didn’t see it in any of the videos?
So much stuff cramed into 1 day! A day of complete awesomeness
Really great coverage! Greetings from germany
A good afternoon guys. Just got the chance to watch the show and WOW one of these years I am going to have to go and not have to work weekends. Some amazing stuff coming, love all the scenery from the different companies and especially those DARKOPs ships, great for prirate games, American civil war and of course using the same said civil war ships for steampunk games like Wolfsung. Well got to go, here is my taxi, have an enjoyable Sunday and will tune in tomorrow for anything new and can imagine 40k 8th edition may be the hot topic for the moment.
Still find it hard to believe it is all one day. Thanks for the great coverage.
OMG what a show I wish I was at the show, but my bank balance is better, that I was not at the show.
Great day once again, still recovering from all the excitement, catching up on what the Beasts were up to.
Would have loved to be there. Looks like it’s getting bigger every year. I say this every year: but next year I need to be there.
I think the terrain you can buy these days is absolutely awesome. Hopefully this trend carries on. Future tables will be sooo beautiful.
An all round brilliant day. I dragged my father along, and it reignited his child hood. He purchased Wings of Glory WW1 and has been playing it non stop since
He has however ordered me to repaint one plane so that it matches his business
Great looking event! Thanks for the Vids 🙂
Great coverage. So gutted I couldn’t go this year.
Great coverage guys.
whaaaattttt? I wanted so much more! Good job though guys!
One of these years I will time a trip to England around this… one of these years!
This would be part of a dream vacation.
Great coverage. Hopefully One day i’ll be able to go one year.
Good Morning Gentlemen. Just finished watching the the Salute coverage. Excellent interviews as always. I would have watched live, but our Game Club was finally having our big Easter Game. We try and have a very large group game for every holiday. This holidays big monster in Mordheim was “The Sharp Pointy Teeth”, a very deadly white bunny rabbit that makes a young dragon look like a Iguana…lol. Well guys, off to watch the XLBS. Have a great day!
Almost like being there. Thanks for the coverage. Some really nice tables.
Was a great day. As the dust settles and my legs finally get some feeling back into them (i had to be linesman at my sons football match earlier as well!) I’m ready to peruse my purchases
Thanks for all the pod casts. Shame i missed it this year. Lots of new stuff gone on my shopping list
a great live blog. so much shiny 😀
I love the possibilities to auto play all videos when trying to catch up with the neglected hobby time. Especially when real life has taken most of the weekend. Was at Salute a couple of years ago, which was fantastic experience, even though both of my ear drums collapsed on my way there (allegies and airplanes are not allways a good mix).
By the way – Great show guys!
All of this stuff looks so cool! I wish that I could get to a show like this.
Looks like an amazing weekend. Great coverage as always by the BoW crew.
Thank you for posting the interviews and pics!
Watched Sats weekender when got home after. Salute today and now understand Justin’s slightly panicked look when said hello. Had no plans to lick his head. O just thought. he thought I was a bit weird.
So much great stuff here. The Rogue One battle looked neat and really easy to do.
Me and my mates were running wild west exodus participation games. Had a great and busy day, everyone who played seemed to love the game as well. Sent dozens of people over to wayland to grab the free rulebook. Plenty came back with starter sets later in the day 🙂
Great coverage guys! Don’t think you missed a step in the event. It would be awesome to take the coverage and make a special long form video out of it.
So much cool stuff, I hope to make it there one of these years. That prize pool is amazing OMG!
Would be so good to go these big gamecons.
thanks for showing us a peek into salute
Thanks for the coverage guys, looked like a great day out!
Sad to have missed it again 🙁 Looks like a great show!
Amazing, hope I will get there some time
Sometimes I wish I lived in the UK. Fortunately You guys did a great coverage again. Thank You!
Looks like I’ve got a good evening of watching ahead of me.
Very disappointed I couldn’t keep up live on Saturday, but hey ho.
Must try and get a long to a show, the only thing I’ve ever been to is GW Games Days and last time I wen’t must have been over 10 years ago.
Nice to see the Reapers get the awards their hard work deserved and the coverage was spot on.
Also enjoyed the Arcworlde interview. Roll on next year!
Top notch coverage of Salute once again lads. I stumbled acoss your Salute 2014 vlog as my first intro to Beasts of War and since then I have been hooked, even tho I am 12,000 kms away in New Zealand it’s the closest I’ll get to being there
Great. Overage of Salut. Wish I could have been there, too.
It was another fantastic show put on by the SLW, and already looking forward to next years. My son also enjoyed it and I was trying to get him to photo bomb Justin while he was interviewing Hawk wargames by their big space ship.
looks like an amazing week
Love all the vlogging. nice work guys.
Wow
One day I’ll take a trip down to Salute. It’ll happen…
Thanks for another great show boys. This event is definitely on the bucket list. It looks amazing every year.
great coverage well done.
Great to see this thread reach over 4000 comments
Awesome day and great coverage
Wow, I’m so jealous of the people who went, I’m not even half way through the coverage and it looked amazing.
Got home from UK late last night. Reliving Salute again with these videos 😀
Looks like a great weekend. I would love to be able to attend one of shows sometime.
Great fun and games.
What a great day. I think Lance’s Nature Documentary technique was my favorite. I really must get to England for this convention one day.
Such an epic prize pool looks brilliant
Thank you in advance for all the efforts of all involved in producing the coverage – I just need a free day to go through it all properly now!
Fun running into the team – if only briefly. Actually bumped into quite a few people. Had a really good day.
Awesome coverage
Great Coverage as always guys, thanks.
Awesome Year at Salute. Great to see BoW (:
This was cool!
Finally got through all the content. Great coverage guys. It’s a pleasure, although I didn’t see anyone lick justin, or did I just miss it? No one brave enough ay?
The X-Wing game over Scarif was a fantastic idea. That’s definitely an idea to steal…I mean borrow.
This was fun!
Salutes was awesome this year. Great to see TTcombat and Warcradle really come to the party this year, gives me a lot of faith in the quality if their releases!
This was a great show!
So wish I could make it to an event like this… some day.
Salute was great fun, cannot wait until next years’ event.
Great looking tables. Fabled realms game looks very good. Wish I could be there.
I would spend my last pound if I’d attend the event, and probably worked up a considerable bank credit as well. Looks like an amazing event this year. Thanks for the great coverage everyone!
Wonderful cover of Salute guys !
Will you be doing a Bushido week ever ?
My resolution for 2018 is to make sure I go to Salute. It looks like it was bloody great fun!
You missed Spartan games. 🙁
Did they have Flyers out for Halo Ground Command yet???
I always love the time lapse video!
Finally able to catch up with all this… I was there on the day (it was great!) but evidently still missed loads!
This was a great event!
Salute rox!
Had such a great time… Wish it was every week-end…
epic event, loved it and looking forward to next year.
best of luck to everyone on the competition 😀
Got round to watching, My god what a prize bundle, that’s enough stuff to keep you busy for the next couple of years…
Still sorting the pictures I took…
What a great day!!!
I love this report!
Great coverage as always. Still catching up but all those pirate themed tables look amazing.
This looks awesome!
Did the prize every get mentioned, I keep looking to find out but cannot see the results?
