UK Games Expo looks fantastic this year! Sounds like you’re having a great weekend too. Thanks for the coverage guys, as ever.

Robert

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.

ludicryan

You are sweet! Thank you!

tuffyears

need more dragons in my life

eaglex11

Bring forth the apocalyptic dragons time to do a full party wipe.

faust66

A Dragon is just what I need for our Frostgrave game! Of course it would be a total warband killer, but I love it.

golonka

Yay for day 2 of the expo. Para bellum was great to see yesterday, looking forward to seeing Battle systems fantasy terrain.

msenli

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 🙂

ismithe

can’t get enough DRAGONS.

captainavenger

I was there yesterday. Great fun and too many games to play.

timeslayer

I would love a second dragon… Never too many dragons around!

Hope to be able to attend the #UKGAMESEXPO one year. Looks like a blast! Thanks for the coverage guys.

darthonthedamned

So much detail on that dragon looks like it would be fun to paint.

chilledenuff

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.

dreadlorddon

The dragon is a mantlepiece waiting to happen.

Oooh, I’d give my back teeth for that fantastic dragon ! Kiitos !!

dynarod1164

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!

daegren

Great job on covering the event this year. You need to mirror this for gencon.

belalthor

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:

spacewolflord

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.

wheresteddy

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!
