Best Of Salute 2025! Stunning Wargaming Tables & More
Join the OnTableTop team for a look at the very best of Salute 2025. The South London Warlords have put on another amazing event but it is made all the better by the clubs, companies and gaming groups who run the stunning wargame demo and participation games that you can see here at the event.
We have a look through just over twenty games that completely blew our minds and this still all of the amazing tabletops. Make sure to tell us what you thought was the best of Salute 2025! Drop your thoughts below…
Loughton Strike Force - The Warsaw Uprising!
One of the games that caught Gerry’s eye was the Warsaw Uprising being played out by the folks from the Loughton Strike Force. They have set up a wonderful display table and game which introduces the street fighting that happened during the uprising in 1944. They used 28mm miniatures and put together a fantastic set of terrain and more.
Ashford Gaming Club - Crypt Hulk: Space Hulk With A Twist & More
Ashford Gaming Club were running two games this year and showing off some neat terrain and some tweaked game mechanics. The first, before we get to Crypt Hulk, was Tarati’s Castle which saw ninja rats storming a Japanese castle defended by Samurai.
Additionally, they were also running Crypt Hulk which was a twist on Space Hulk from 1st Edition which had a Van Helsing vibe to it. Fun! It was all scratch built using only online information to bring it to life.
Gentleman's Wargames Parlour - "That's Just Not Cricket! - Very British Civil War
This group of friends, the Gentleman’s Wargames Parlour, have put on a display game for you to come and check out set against the backdrop of the Very British Civil War. As they mentioned, this is “like cricket, but with guns” which adds a whole new flavour to your experience on the pitch. There will be a number of matches played throughout the day played in a gentlemanly style…I’m sure.

Salute always works out pretty expensive for me to attend so I’m looking forward to seeing your coverage gents. Any previews of Empress miniatures Arnhem German Kickstarter which is due out at the end of April would be great, or any new stuff from Offensive miniatures please.
Also, don’t forget to wind up @commodorerob if your bump into him 😈😳😂😂😂
He said it was the bad dice

Mission accomplished, see you at UKGE🙃
It’s a ~nine hour flight direct from Calgary to London, overnight.
One day I’ll make it.
I posted this on the youtube as well I sadly wont be able to go to Salute this year due to a recent accident leaving me less than mobile. I was hoping to support a game Heroes Super Combat – STAND: GL02 written by one of our local hobby club members. It is their first game and first time at Salute it would be amazing if you could find the time to pop by and take a look at the boards they have done for me !!. I will be following along from my bed watching the blog tomorrow. !!… Read more »

If they are there: please go up to CGL and give them a stern talking to. 8)
CGL were going to attend, but there was a problem with shipping and may be delayed…
