wolf320f

great coverage from the show thanks to all the team its just been addedd to my future show visit plans. im not sure my bank manager will be as enthusiastic though lol

newbolter

These blogs really keep me going through the weekends. Thanks BoW crew!

kommissar

Great to see everyone out enjoying the day, enjoying life and the freedom to do what they enjoy and not give in to fear.

My thoughts are with the people of London after the horrible events of last night, also my thoughts are with the people of Manchester.

People going to events like this despite what has happened shows the resilience of this nation, and the refusal to let hatred and fear rule our lives. Enjoy your day if you are in Birmingham.

tankkommander

There was no obvious increased security at the event on Saturday. Not a bag search, nor any Police, but thankfully all okay.

dagibbon

That’s odd, we had our bags searched every time we went in the building on Friday and Saturday, and also saw sniffer dogs patrolling three times.

duster

Happy sunday guys and have a great day! Thanks for the blogs!

bigdaddio

Always love the BoW convention blogs. It’s great to see what’s happening even if I can’t be there myself.

kerris21

First time posting and first time at the Expo. Fantastic 3 days would recommend it to anyone even remotely interested in gaming. One disturbing sight was Warren showing a great deal in the tails of equestria rpg.

lblunchboxlb

dragonrelic

Awww yeah!

thedace

I wasn’t going to go to the games expo this year. I watched the coverage earlier today, got in my car and made it for the last few hours. I even saw but he looked engrossed in a book.

creativehomeeducator

We were there! We had the best time and came home with some new passions to share. My son loved the kids rpgs – thank you so much to the volunteer gms. It was great to play games old and new, and everyone was so friendly. Can’t wait until next year.

spaderfish

Here we are on the third and final day. It’s been a long weekend but for anyone who attended apparently a fun one. However, since it is the final day then it’s my last chance to shamelessly post as I’m going after either the 4Ground stuff or the Bushido stuff. I play Bushido here in the states. I teach it to whoever will listen, and I just try and represent it as it is. The best miniature game I’ve ever played.

lunchbox

Did someone say prizes?

marktarver

Was such a great show, really glad to see you guys in person walking around and providing great coverage.
Ghostel was my favourite purchase and loved Fabled Realms from 4ground.

spaced2020

This has been really fun to watch and read and listen to all the games expo coverage. thank you to all the Beasts of War team for doing a stellar job. It means a lot for me, and I’m sure everyone, who cannot, and may not ever get to attend an event like this. Bless the internet and bless the Irish!

smeert

Great coverage guys. Nice to see some old favorites and newcomers. The bushido terrain by 4 ground looks amazing. I can’t wait to play with it at our local club!

bors77

I wish 4Ground showed more of their new game, but the KS is acoming soon!

misterq

Those 7TV minis look cool.

torkijo

This is my viewing for the next week then 🙂

ultramarine40

Brilliant effort team BoW, been binging content on my day off 🙂 wish we had something similar in AU but our Con’s are just local disty’s not the actual vendors / creators.

ergophobe

nooblord

Great job by the BoW team – so many vids to catch up on.
