If TT Combat are there, please try to find out about DZC 2nd Edition.
I second this!
Another evnet full of content? I’ve been busy for a few weekends now and don’t have a full weekend free until the bank holiday. Normally I’d say you don’t make enough content but I’ve many hours of backlog and now this? I’m looking forward to it but I suspect I’m going to need the 4 day weekend to finally catch up on everything.
That gw paint pot holder is completely unnecessary yet completely needed at the same time.
you guys look like your having fun, wish i was there but i am on 12 hr night shifts with the ambulance service in ye old Lon Din town so no fun for me
I’d love to hear some from TTCombat, I know they announced Battle Earth for dropfleet commander, but I’d like to hear more what they are doing with Dropzone Commander.
Isn’t the “battle earth” book both DZC v2 and DFC?
I don’t know. Guess that’s what I liked to see more about then. ?
The deep cut mats look great as always!
The moonstone boards were amazing and packed all day too – lots of good vibes about that game today.
Thanks for the coverage guys!
Sadly I missed it this year was working and couldn’t get out of it. Looked great though.
Really great looking miniatures. I wonder how the gameplay was.
Possibly late to the party Please look at the miniature tabletop gaming stands
Oh
Just an idea not sure anyone will see this, but for events like this could all the video content be put into a playlist or something either here or youtube? often I play the videos whilst doing something else so it is nice to just have them all play one after the other rather than having to keep change blog post. Just an idea.
I shall ask the puppet masters
Looks like another great show this year.
It was a great event this year. I’m very pleased to say our Batman the Miniatures Game won Runner up for best Sci fi or Fantasy display too, there’s some pics here https://robinmeetsthewizard.blogspot.com/2019/04/salute-2019-scene.html
Another well-done con. Thanks for all the news and pictures of outstanding tables and models!
Good coverage guys, even though I was there not enough time or energy for everything , you seem to have caught a lot I missed.
