Come and get stuck in and let’s make sure that Warren doesn’t get too excited about the prospect of mat design.
Knight Models
Knight models are showing off their studio painted minis in public, some for the first time!
The sculps for both their Harry Potter and Batman ranges are very nice, the Fantastic Beasts miniatures are excellent!
Are you going to be picking them up?
Shades Of Vengeance And Their Game Collection
We were able to stop off with Shades Of Vengeance who have been talking about a few of their games which are available for you to snap up here at the event this year.
They have a myriad of different products with some of them being cooperative card games and others being a little more combative…especially where aliens are involved. There are also some neat role-playing games in there too!
Funforge Show Off Monumental
Funforge are in attendance at the UKGE showing off a few of their games including Monumental, their successful kickstarter from earlier this year.
Head over to the Funforge stand to give Monumental a go.

These seem like they could be a very good punt for those that are really interested in getting started painting miniatures.
Stream Catch-Up - Cubicle 7 Discuss Warhammer Fantasy RP & More!
Ben got a chance to get stuck into a big discussion with Cubicle 7 about Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play, Age Of Sigmar: Soulbound, Wrath & Glory, The One Ring and much more.

Stream Catch-Up - Meeple City Games & Vector War
Come and join us for a catch-up as we get stuck into a run-down of Meeple City Games’ Vector Wars.
This game seems like it’s going to be a fantastic two-player experience where you have to really consider your tactical options.
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 !!
