Virtual Salute visit

Virtual Salute

My friends in our local gaming circle have decided to go on a virtual visit to Salute tomorrow.  The regular show is a bit too far for us to get to easily so I don’t often get there.  With everything postponed this year I thought we could all get that hit of show excitement by going there virtually instead. I said I’d put a list of links together so I’ve shared them here too.  Enjoy 🙂

Most of us do some shopping at Salute so here is where the good stuff is to be found now:

If anyone finds show specials or Salute sales in progress (such as the one at PSC) please post below.  Some of the bigger providers are currently closed (GW, 4Ground, TTCombat) so perhaps this is a chance for us to show some love to the smaller companies.

Usually it is a big day for new product launches.  As a brief example Oathmark and the new expansion for Shadowdeep would have been scheduled to hit for Salute.  They can be found via Northstar and Osprey.  Lots of others as well I’m sure.  Please post below what you were particularly looking out for.

Clearly we can’t join in on a participation game or sample those new rules in a demo.  Often, I would just want to look around the tables at the fantastic scenery and miniatures and to marvel at the talent on show.  The best we can manage here is to see some tours of the show from previous years.  They include the painting competition highlights too.

TGIF

Where to start?  Well we could always enjoy a romp around with Justin who is getting that Friday feeling.  https://www.beastsofwar.com/salute/vlog-salute-2019-friday-run-around/

Or perhaps one of those super timelapse videos of the setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNr0ChDVn3A
