Great Show guy’s see ya next week end 🙂
Really enjoyed watching/looking at all the posts today
Thank you guys… It was awesome.
Goodonyer folks. It’s a second prize, compared to actually going but it’s a good second prize.
great show guys! thanks for the videos
great stuff! thanks guys and have a great stag night now!!!
Well done guys, playing catch up here as I couldn’t make it today (bit gutted) but liking what I’ve seen so far
ok, it’s beer o’clock for you
looking forward to some embarassing stag night pics 🙂
Great work guys, love to see all the cool stuff that I missed
My name is pronounced Jay Kos
Thank you guys for a great job showing us the new shiny stuff at salute 🙂
Now have a great time at Warrens stag party!!
Great coverage and a great big thanks to Onlyonepinman for the shout out along with Unclejimmy and of course Oriskany, that was good of you guys. Now everyone needs to concentrate on getting home safe and sound with all those new shiny things. Have a great rest of the weekend whatever your plans and we will have no doubt catch up time later. Maybe some of you Peeps and peepess’s that did go and have decent pictures could get together and sort out your own thing on the show? Just a thought. Stay safe and have a good night tonight at Warrens stag do.
Thanks guys for vlogging salute. I am definitely going next year.
Highlight for me was the 4ground guy. Gotta love him. He could try and sell me chocolate fire guards and I’d buy 3 off him! And the funny thing is I’ve only got one fire place. 😉
Thanks again guys. Enjoy the hangovers.
Great work – I was there in the morning and enjoyed your coverage on the bits I missed (but not quite so much as my time there). Your interviews add a lot to the enjoyment of the show. Thanks.
good job everyone !
Thanks guys. Hope Warren’s stag goes well too.
Awesome show, sad that I missed it.
Awesome live blogging!
Glad you guys didnt got run over by that truck!
Thanks for the job. Hope I will go to Salute one day when I will come back in Europe…
Thanks guys AND gals. It was a wonderful event and the BoW crew covered as much as humanly possible and did a great job of it! Just watch out for that truck, just shows how hectic the tear down is when it’s all over.
Big thanks to all from me, those in front and behind the cameras, great coverage made a dull day a little brighter.
NOOOOoooooo, Over so soon 🙁
excellent job to all you guys, i had a nice lazy saturday watching it all and its been fun.
warren have a good stag do and good craic mate.
see you all in the week 🙂
Great show, it’s made my hangover recovery bearable. I’m looking forward to getting to my first salute next year, best start saving now!
Thank you!

Beasts of War = CNN of Wargaming 🙂

Can’t believe it’s over already and I’m home again!
It was great to see you all and a big thank you for letting me use you office as storage room!!!
Enjoy tonight’s do and have a save journey home guys & gals.
Xxxx
I just want to say a THANK YOU for doing this show. It really helps those of us that can’t make it. You all did an outstanding job and I really hope there might be future videos of the rest of Salute 2016 that was not shown today. That would be awesome if you could =)
Keep up the great work everyone at Beast of War.
I love your show.
Alfonso
Cheers, great coverage.
Well done guys
Thank you
Great show guys! Wish I could get there for that but North Carolina is a bit far!
Loved the coverage guys … was a little surprised to not see Mantic in it though 🙂
It was so huge I couldn’t find the BoW team anywhere :(. Mind u met Warren walking in this morning he wasn’t well lol. I didn’t c the message from Dawn until tonight so I’m guessing Prodos still have my figure ???
Great coverage, loved it!
My first Salute today. It was awesome. But tiring. Hope you’re all well oiled by now. Don’t think I could manage a big night out after all the walking today. All the stalls and demo games were excellent. Lots of effort put in by all involved. One of the high lights for me was seeing a magnetic gaming mat to hang on the wall and magnetised X-Wing minis. Genius! I think it was by Deepcut but please forgive me if I’m wrong.
I hope you got to check out Spectre miniatures, not only did they give me a hesitant June for their new rules set, as well as hint at Mexican drug Cartels (What I really want to do), I also suggested they purchased the TTcombat giant tower would be great for modern combat, which they agreed and then purchased one!
That TTcombat giant tower was great and was probably the only shiny syndrome that didnt break me. So many games you could play in it
Modern combat, Walking Dead, Infinity, Zone Moralis, Batman. One day that tower will be mine
great job BoW team. Need to get yourselves a drone next year so you can zoom about above the crowds and find those hidden gems.
Good job, guys and gals.
Sad it’s over. 🙁
Thank you team for bringing Salute to us in the far off reaches of the world. So disappointed you didn’t get a chance to show us the ArcWorlde stand, but maybe next year.
I don’t get how this convention is only one day its massive.
Thanks guys! Awesome as always!
Salute is only 1 day? Seems it should be longer. That’s quite a bit of set-up for just 1 day.
Top stuff guys! Great show as always
It’s over? One F’n day what a rip!!!
Thank you. it makes it that those that can not be there are there, Fantastic, Warren have a fantastic stag nite mate. Hope you take out the drinking game.. have fun..
Greatly enjoyed the coverage and would love to see something like that. From the looks you would need 30 people to cover most of it briefly. Great job and enjoy the night.
Great show. Thanks for the awesome coverage. One of these years I’ll figure out how to get over there without leaving the ground.
Great coverage again Lads, can’t wait for next weekend so you can show off some of your loot.
Awesome job doing all this coverage and the weekenders. If I hadn’t come across your videos that you guys do every week, I would never gotten back into board games and miniatures. Thank you for all your hard work. I really appreciate it a lot. Cheers!
Thanks very much for the coverage, guys. Next year…maybe…I’ll make it down to the event myself. Fingers crossed.
great coverage guys! I can’t imagine a way to cover everything unless you went around doing it booth by booth during set up. I bet noone wants that haha! Keep it up tho guys! the coverage works fine!
thanks for putting all this together! much apreciated
Great coverage guys, I’ve never regretted not going so much!
Hope you survived your stag night Warren.
Great job guys. You really make me want to go there. Maybe one day
Great coverage guys!
Now head out and enjoy your stag Warren!
Great job guys! I really gotta get over to that side of the Atlantic one day for Salute! I can’t wait to see what you report on from the show over the coming weeks or months.
Awesome job All the BoW crew! It may not have been as good as being there myself, but it sure was fun!
Awesome show and some cracking coverage. See you all again at salute 2017!
Great job you lot covering so much, so much shiny I’m wearing sunnies! Only downside is seeing so much awesome and not having even remotely comparable in NZ. One day…one day…
This year we at Irregular Magazine decided to cover the show in a different way, and so came up with the idea of doing videos which we can link to in articles. What we weren’t prepared for was trying to get around the show and cover as much as possible. You suddenly realise how much of a mammoth task it is. Looking at the videos on here and images on other blog sites how much we missed. After the show I realised we hadn’t stopped by Warlord or Mantic for starters, but it’s not just the traders but the actual gaming tables as well.
I appreciate more the coverage you guys at Beasts manage to pull off in just the one day.
@warhammergrimace you hit the nail on the head with “mammoth task”. It’s non-stop all day. Still a blast though 🙂
Great coverage folks, really enjoyed watching the vlogs. So much so I sat up to the wee hours here in Perth Western Australia watching and didnt get up until lunch time. Best sleep ever. lol
Well for me incomplete without Freebooters Fate.
There were some really nice gaming tables for Freebooters fate. I’m sure they will have got them in somewhere. Hopefully to follow soon. One of the tables was set in something similar to a mangrove.
Have a look at Terrain tutors Facebook page. He has photos of all the gaming tables including the freebooters fate table.
Great show guys! Couldn’t come this year as I had to work – no way am I missing it next year.
Thanks for making me really jealous.
Thanks for the videos guys, couldn’t get to Salute so good to hear what has been going on.
That’s all folks. Thanks for sharing.
It’s interesting. I was there and you guys showed some stuff that I don’t remember seeing. I thought I saw everything but I guess with the crowds it is hard to see everything.
great show, thanks for being there for those of us who can’t
It was good to meet up with you Warren and I hope you had a great stag
Watching this now from Home after the show has ended. I missed sooo much! But I had a really great time there. Thanks BoW for all the coverage, now I have to catch up on some of the presentations.
Thanks for sharing this! I really wanna go next year!
It was a great way to spend my birthday. Thanks to the team reports I get to see it all again.
Shame I didn’t get to meet you all in fact I only saw Dawn and Gianna all day I was beginning to think you were all hungover. Happy to see I was wrong
Your coverage of this has been brilliant,really enjoyed it ,as i cant get out its a real benefit to have you doing this thanks again guys
Great coverage, i cant believe the stuff you showed and i completely missed.
Great coverage of the show.
Thanks for a job well done, great work guys
Thank you for your coverage – to one who is very unlikely ever to travel to Salute it is great to see what is new and what is coming.. So what stands did you miss that you should have covered??
Great work, I really enjoyed Salute 2016 from the comfort of my living room back in Ontario, Canada….wish I could make it next year!
Thank you folks as I wish I could have been there , maybe one day . But thanks again for a awesome show. P.S. have fun tonight at the stage .
GreAt job guys, great updates on all the games. Thanks for bringing Salute overseas to us, loved the coverage. Now everyone get some rest, you all deserve it.
why dont they do this over a saturday and a sunday?
It was a great show this year, Cant wait for Salute 2017 🙂
Was wondering what had happened to Warren, now we know…………….
Great coverage guy`s, just a pity you could not cover everything. I think you should start soon, and come up with a plan for next year`s “Salute”. Maybe get a forum going and put it out to the people and see what idea`s we all can come up with.
i loved your coverage of Salute, i hope to be able to go someday.
Thank you for all your coverage. I was there and you still highlighted a ton of stuff I missed. It was great to meet Warren and Lloyd. I’ll definitely be signing up as a backstager again, if for no other reason than you are a great team of people. You’ve made my gaming and hobby time richer and better informed and I can’t imagine a weekend without me tuning in to catch my latest dose of gaming fun. My son Andrew said that I walked a foot taller with a bigger smile after meeting you guys and I must say it did make my day. I got to shake Ronnie from Mantic hand and ask him about the walking dead Kickstarter as well. (another patient and nice guy) I got to speak with Alessio Cavatore at the Warlord Tank Wars demo table and chuckled about the contrast from war games to my little pony. Thank you again and hopefully see you next year at Salute 2017
@dugthefug1644 – Meeting people like you makes our day too 🙂
Yay, Salute!
