UK Games Expo looks fantastic this year! Sounds like you’re having a great weekend too. Thanks for the coverage guys, as ever.
Really enjoyed the coverage from yesterday, and I still haven’t watched it all. Looking forward to seeing what fun stuff you show today. Really have enjoyed Ryan on the live stream this morning.
You are sweet! Thank you!
need more dragons in my life
Bring forth the apocalyptic dragons time to do a full party wipe.
A Dragon is just what I need for our Frostgrave game! Of course it would be a total warband killer, but I love it.
Yay for day 2 of the expo. Para bellum was great to see yesterday, looking forward to seeing Battle systems fantasy terrain.
Man, wish we have those conventions in Holland or Belgium for that matter, as along if it’s close by. Loved the Para Bellum coverage and am really tempting to dive in, but I am not so font of tray movement, it takes away a lot of the dynamic on the table (my opinion) But since the mini’s look ff’ing amazing, I probably get my wallet out for this 🙂
can’t get enough DRAGONS.
I was there yesterday. Great fun and too many games to play.
I would love a second dragon… Never too many dragons around!
You guys are doing an awesome job covering the show, keep up the great work!
really loving the live coverage. just what i need on a rainy saturday!
Going to have to get here on of these years, looks far to good to miss.
Really need to convince my friends at my flgc that this NEEDS to be visited.
So many great games that i was unaware of.
Yeah I’ll go in for a dragon
Oathsworn seems To be a huge game !
… and I need a dragon in my Life;)
Man, really wish I made the Kickstarter for Joan of Arc, that dragon looks awesome!
Oooh. Gives me!!!
I would need a party to kill with the dragon.
Hope to be able to attend the #UKGAMESEXPO one year. Looks like a blast! Thanks for the coverage guys.
So much detail on that dragon looks like it would be fun to paint.
Loving the coverage so far. As I can’t make it this year I’m living through your coverage and Facebook messages from a couple of mates who’ve made it up. Those Parra Bellum miniatures look superb. Beyond that, I’d love to win that dragon.
The dragon is a mantlepiece waiting to happen.
Oooh, I’d give my back teeth for that fantastic dragon ! Kiitos !!
Roll on day 2
I like dragons
It was a bunch of fun today (even with no spending money), but so hot
I missed loads today. ..
If it hadn’t been for my holiday next month I would have been there to enjoy the spectacle that UK Games Expo is! Thanks to the whole OTT team though, I’m getting the next best thing to actually being there and without all the push and shove that comes with such a large event! Thanks guys for providing first class coverage …. as always!
Great job on covering the event this year. You need to mirror this for gencon.
It´s a little shame you don´t take photos of the Stand of Starry Games.
They have the minis of the Limbo Kickstarter and I hope to can see it in good quality photos:
Loving the coverage – nice to watch and listen to whilst painting some minis
it’s such a big model, wow.
Dragon? (Rincewind)
UKGE looks great. hope to attend one day. The dragon looks great! so does the cyclops..
Dragons are the best!
DAY 2!!! amazing coverage
Looks like a fun show
Have to visit the UK next year for the expo .. 🙂
Looks like a great second day, I bet the guys are starting to feel it now though.
Next year… I promise myself to make it next year!
Looks to be some amazing stuff. One day I will make it there 🙁
Great coverage, wish I could have been there.
I hope to bring my son along for our first UKGE, when he’s old enough to start gaming. He’s 9 months now, so that shouldn’t be too far off 😉
great event wish i was there
Thank you BoW, for your extensive coverage of this convention. You guys are great and are keeping my love for the hobby alive trough your continued coverage of all things tabletop and wargames!!!
Good job on the coverage all.
this was the most fun coverage ever, WISH i was there ( queue the sad tears and music)
oooo, need that dragon 🙂
lovey day
Gaaaaa that dragon has been calling to me for a while now. I just love it.
But…but…i learned, you never deal with a dragon. 🙂
Excellent coverage, thanks guys!
Cheers!
Who doesn’t need dragons?
Great coverage guys! Keep up the good work.
Thanks! Nice formatting on the mobile so I can easily scroll through the pictures!
just catching up on the videos & enjoying seeing what was there
You guys get to do so much on your days. It might look fun but I am sure there is still a lot of work that needs to be done to get these videos out. Thank you everyone at the Beasts of War team to make this all come together.
If only I weren’t on a different continent! I’ll have to plan a vacation to coincide with this beast of an event. So much shiny, and here’s me trying to build up a board games collection at the public library I work at (https://www.barrielibrary.ca/programs-events/board-games-collection).
Lots of food for thought! Thank-you, Beasts for exploring and exploding the world of games!
