As always the queue waiting to get into Salute is massive and everyone is very keen to get stuck into the show. Let's see what's happening with Warren and Dawn.
This live blogging is great!
Almost like being there!
now that’s a lot of people,
individual post like this one ? MMMMMMMmmmm (scratch’s chin)
As I’m sat here doing endless paperwork, you have no idea how much I’m enjoying this live blog style coverage of the event. Thanks to everyone involved.
Have fun, folks. And keep those updates coming for us stay-at-home suckers 🙂
Come on Warren, where is the Dropzone Commander space game????
One day I shall make it to Salute and bug the hell out of the Beasts of War crew
I am SO excited to see what you guys showcase there. Being that Im OS and really not able to get over to the UK for the wonder that is Salute. I vicariously experience it thru you guys.
Well, heres to an awesome weekend and an even better Salute!
Cheers lads
Wow, the queue looks massive.
Looks amazing, may have to break my Salute-virginity next year!
Also, it gives you guys an idea of what you have to top when you start to organise your own Beasts of War convention… 😉
I’m so glad we have the self-sacrificing BoW crew to struggle through the difficult slog of attending Salute on our behalf. 😉
I wish I could have made it this year, it’ll be first since 2007 that I’ve missed. I gotta spend the weekend prepping for a job and processing visa forms for China. So I’m glad I still get to see everything via the live blog, and on the plus side my bank balance will still be healthy at the end of the day…lol
Crikey! That’s a long line.
Gotta be worth it though. So much shiny syndrome
looks this is going to be a blast
looks like another great day at salute if you get chance go see the guys at britannia miniatures and tell dave says hi if your passing lol
Thanks Beast of War for the coverage of the event, it almost feels like been there (almost xD).
You could just tell everyone in the queue was praying Warren wouldn’t stop at them 😉
have fun guys
Now that is a que, where are the storm troopers
loving the live blogging so far.
those bags are awesome!! can i win one 😛
You guys just have too much fun! 😀
I hope you’re coming to GenCon this year. Love to say hi.
Wish i could be there!
Loving the live blogs, I’m so glad BoW has integrated it into their publishing.
I always miss it when there’s no weekender (since I throw it on to hobby away with at the same time), but this is just as exciting!
you said It
Hopefully one of these years I will be able make the trip to Salute.
Looks nice over there!
I curious, what kind of a mini is that plastic Salute special edition miniature? You didnät really show it off.
That’s an impressive line!
Living stateside, I will probably never make it to Salute. Through this, I can experience it vicariously. Awesome job, BoW!
You guys are so lucky to be able to attend this event, thanks for the inside look!
This is so exciting! Its like being there!
I hope that you had a great day
Even a video of people standing in line has me excited to see the rest of the blog posts!
thanks for covering salute for us who could not make it !
Idea for next years’ demo table, the battle of the Salute Que.
Great team of bloggers. Good job evreyone.
Adding a big model/vehicle to a starter is a cool idea. it gives the army a natural center piece.
whoops. I think I commented on the wrong post. I’m checking out too many things at once haha. I suppose that is the authentic convention experience to see so much cool stuff that it makes your head spin.
Always nice to see some people you recognise in the coverage – it makes not being able to go mildly more bearable!
tnx BoW for all your work
Wicked!!! I would love to see an unboxing or still shot of the Salute plastic figurine. Have fun all!!!
Must make all the comments… must Win prizes!
hope you had a great Day Beasts of War, hope everyone enjoyed the coverage
One day, I will cross the Atlantic puddle from Canada and witness all the madness first hand.
A long queue, missing a me….perhaps next year
Man, I had a charity event I had to attend or I would have been watching like a Hawk.
Snuck into the background of this one. I’m in the background waving at the start! Lol.
The show was great fun. You showed but never talked about the arc thingy and never even shown or talked about the dice.
@warzan @deltagamegirl Individually you guys are already gods among mortals, but together you are a mighty presenting force to be reckoned with!!! Des and Mel ain’t got nothing on you! 😀
Thanks, Ian! It was an absolute blast! I had a great time chatting with you & Dani Friday night. We’ll definitely have to do that again. Perhaps we can get you 2 across the pond our way! 🙂
Hell yeah, that’d be awesome! We’ll have to start saving some pennies if we can stop buying minis, lol 😀
Even turning up early it was utterly packed.
What was the plastic figure in the swag bags ?
you missed us crazy buggers that were in the queue from about 8am!!
s..t I was sitting on floor when you shoot this 😀 I have seen Tania she was about 3rd in que!!
Hey, I was there in the queue!!! And I won a KR bag!!!! Yeeeaahhh!!! Awesome event!!!
need to go to salute!
Gutted I couldn’t make it this year although your coverage will be the next best thing. Looking forward to spending the day watching while I pretend to work.
Away over the weekend and just catching up on the event – looks even better attended than last year.
Aces !!!
Can’t believe its already tuesday and I’m only watching this now. Had some crazy days, but I will now work through it all and I will have the best time. Decreed!
Hah! That hall was so busy that even though me and jimrogan were about 30th in the queue, I had no idea you folks were there!
