Richard Grey got best in show here at Salute and as you've been taking a peek at this work throughout the live blog across today thanks to Peachey.
So, we have a quick chat with him - make sure to check out his instagram and patreon!
Great that you are doing this coverage, eager to hear about all the new cool stuff you find! Talk to Victrix if you have the chance, want to hear what they have in the pipeline! 🙂
We can’t make it this year so will have to stay tuned to BOW
Super awesome video, Excited for your awesome coverage and what goodies you find 🙂
Have a great weekend everybody
Good on you lads … Love your con coverages. Have a good one!!
Thank you Guys for doing this.
I thought for a second that they were going to anounce a different winner confrontation.
But all went well. Accept that I didn’t win it. 🙂
Make sure you get over to TT combat if they are there and grill them about Hawk Wargames new stuff.
nice to see hobbit , a dwarf and Golum presenting the live blog
Please guys, can you get The Drowned Earth in front of the camera? Would be awesome.
I’m standing in the line at the moment
wish I could be there
That 4 Ground display is amazing!
Man I wish I could be there. Really want to see that 4Ground stuff with my own eyes. It looks amazing on camera.
wow that hangar ! amazing work !
Wish I could of been there this year. Hopefully next year I’ll be able to make it.
I’m on the tube, seems to be taking forever
it is a 3 day journey from germany minimum – and it will be cost approx 500 euro minimun – so i stay at home, watch BOW and buy minis…..
Then think of those of us on the other side of the Atlantic. ..
wish i could have gone, hopefully there next year….
2005 was the last time i went to salute , I guess its changed a wee bit since then
Please talk to traders of small/perfect scale minis, in particular vanguard miniatures, baccus and rapier if they are about. Johns gunna sulk about not seeing that tank…
Hey ive been keeping an eye out for you guys since i got here cant spot any of you this year? Find constipated cows. Nsfw. The guys will show you how to play in 4 seconds. You will see why.
Should be fun
Yay, Salute! 🙂
Last minute change in plans means I can’t make it across London today. Aaaaargh!!
Will have to check in here every 30 minutes instead.
This is just fun!
Let the games begin!
Please stop by the Mierce Miniatures stand!
Nice to say hello to Lance and Ben. Awesome event. Seeing old friends all over the place. Good times.
impressive work, the empire will be proud
Ahhhh.. this is going to be a busy weekend trying to keep up with his…
You guys need to check out The Drowned Earth game
As an American, I can experience Salute only through the eyes and ears of the Beasties. Thanks!
What a Prize! It’s great to see TFL getting recognized for their great work.
Playing Legion on that shiny black floor! Want, want want!
I like these live show coverage vlogs since I rarely get to any of them.
If you have time check out Fall Out at the Modiphius booth
Just said hello to @dignity and @dracs
I’ll be watching, eyes peeled
Looking forward to the coverage today, ill be nipping in and out all day, wish i could be there but the in-laws are visiting from Shpain….yay
Looking forward to all the posts
Where was that Lambda from? it looked really awesome.
Are we going to see some footage of the 4ground star wars table with a battle going on?
Great you guys are covering the event for those of us can’t make
Wish I was there, some day I’ll plan a trip to jump the puddle and check this awesome convention out.
I almost got to go to Salute this year but at the last minute work got in the way 🙁
I shall live vicariously through Justin…
I’m loving the coverage so far, guys! This is one of your best live blogs ever, keep up the good work!
If it’s not too late, can you check out Modiphius Entertainment (Stand TK19).
They are running demos of the beta for Star Trek Adventures: Red Alert using their miniatures from their RPG range.
Great coverage so far, thanks a lot!
Cheers!
Was another great Salute. Much better layout this year with the bigger names dotted around rather than all at the front, made things much easier and no bottle necks.
had a great few hours with my son, he was very impressed with the Dark Sphere stand and the glowing necromunda table – I have to say it was deeply impressive
This coverage is always as good as going without the smells!
Best Shrek donkey voice – “ooh ooh pick me!!”
Some amazing tables, games and painting on show – great to see the coverage here – gotta love that large scale Gollum though – that’s my stand out.
nice stuff
Thanks for the broad range you got covered – my wallet will hate me the next few months…
Just about to head to work, but I’ll be settling in when I get home and watching the coverage start to finish. Three more years and I’ll be heading over to see it myself :).
4Ground had some really cool stuff there today.
Looks like a crazy day
Lets get it on.
We got the runner up, best historical game award with our 1943 Battle of Leros project Pictures are in the forums, or will be when Piers and I have recovered!
Wow, there is so much. I guess I have to spend the rest of the weekend in front of my laptop. (Sorry kids, daddy`s busy with toy soldiers)
Another great day, got my goodies at home. 🙂
Salute looks like a great event.
Salute 2018 already!!!! Where has the immaterium taken me!?
Had such an amazing time today at Salut , spent far to much!!
Nice show, great prizes
Salute is on the bucket list to go one year, just a bit far to ride on the push bike.
Nice to bump into Justin and Sam in the morning. I really enjoyed this years show. A good variety of games.
Leeeeeet’s have FUUUUUUUN XDDDDDD
Thanks to work, it’s gonna take me a few days to catch up!
Have a great one guys!
great coverage…that 4ground display is sweeeet
Just now getting to sit down and watch this coverage. Really looking forward to it. Thanks for all the convention coverage that you guys do. Allows us to go places that real life does not give us the time to do.
Very impressive table at 4Ground Would love play an Infinity scenario on that table 🙂
Is This Where I comment to Win?
PS I thought Salute was an all weekend event
Looks like you want to comment on the updates relating to what you want to win. It’s in the description of each one.
Cheers guy’s had to work the weekend so great to get to see the toys on here
Finally got time to relax. Gonna settle down with a cuppa and work my way through this lot. Thanks team!
Fantastic Day and thanks to BOW I can see all the stuff I missed
Utterly fab day, I just wish I was physically upto more than a couple of hours there 🙁
Sad to miss it. My Saturday was a second prize, albeit a good one.
i loved this years one. I think it was the bromley wargames group who did a very meta game based on this years salute! Didnt spend a tonne of money but did buy some gangs of rome and some ‘the prisoner’ models but took aload of cards away with me from some companies i didnt know much of to have a look at…
Good luck guys have fun.
Just got back, great weekend.
Just finished watching all the coverage in reverse order. Wow what a full day. Thanks for bringing us the lowdown. My shopping list for UKGE is now as long as my arm!!
Thank you for the Post!
Looking forward to catching up on all the content – I was away from home over the weekend, and didn’t have easy access to BoW. Time to make up for that now…
Another great day that went all too quickly. Finally bought into World of Twilight, looking forward to playing it. Hope my Erac and Oran rolls improve – my demo game rolls were aweful.
Thanks for the coverage guys. Was good to catch up with all the cool stuff i missed oit on after a busy weekend.
o my! How am I just now seeing this?!
Great stuff. Couldn’t follow along live, but still got to catch up on the show eventually.
Big thanks from me for everyone who put in the work for those of us who can’t attend.
Can’t be there but so many great previews and companies there, especially Hysterical Games, Macrocosm and Bad Squiddo Games (which is also carrying some great stock from Krakon Games)!
thanks for the coverage – i thought i had seen all of salute, but missed you guys walking round and also looks like i missed some game tables…..ah well, i’ll do better next year 🙂
Couldn’t watch it on the weekend, I think now is time to relax and get through it all xD
I will never understand why this is just one day!
Nothing on Mierce Miniatures guys? They continue to knock it out of the park with their resins and their display table was amazing…
Top report as i was unable to go due to work commitments, should of been with the Leicester Phat Cats doing Blood and Plunder but at least you made it feel i was sort of there and some lovely pictures of my figures and terrain
This was a very good day!
THAT WAS THE MOST AWESOME SHOW, thanks guys for bringing the experience to those of
us who couldn`t be there.
I’ve finished posting all my snapshots of the gaming tables at Salute, you can find them here:

I’m not sure who to blame if I ruin my budget, Salute or You guys! 😀 So much awesome stuff. Wish so much I could have attended this great event. Maybe one year.
I love 4Ground’s work. The buildings I bought for Bolt Action are beautifully made.
coverage is awesome no doubt, I think this should be the best thing to cover, I mean for gamers especially.
