Weekender: Boot Camps, Salute Winners & Checking Out Emergence Event
May 2, 2015 by warzan
Welcome back to The Weekender that took a bit of a hiatus last week due to our Salute coverage which was awesome but very tiring!
Boot Camps & Job Finding
It's all hands to the pump already as we're working on the terrain for the Bolt Action Boot Camp in the coming weeks AND planning the next one which will be themed around Infinity!
We've also been testing out the Tabletop Job Finder (still in development) as our way of trying to connect people together in this crazy world of ours.
Home Raiders!
As you might have noticed by the massive banner across the top of the website Home Raiders from Vesper-On Games is coming to Kickstarter soon too and we have a chat about the game and the awesome prize that awaits a lucky gamer.
Salute 2015
We can't of course not mention Salute and we'll be going through some of our favourite bits of the day (and the Backstager meet up!)
If you want to catch up...
A big thank you to all of our helpers over the weekend! We also have a whole host of prizes to announce so watch out for that in the show.
Emergence Event
We also sit down with Dawn & Gianna to talk about the Emergence Event board game from Megacon for 2-4 players. It's quite a bit of fun!
Have a great weekend!

Happy Weekend!!!
I needed a really good distraction and here it is, thankyou BoW team.
Hi all ‘HAPPY WEEKEND’
Hi Dawn how u doing?
Hi Shaun! Doing well, thanks. Had a lovely visit with the BoW crew. 🙂
Wish you guys would’ve given us more advance notice for the boot camp 🙁
How is this. Around september they gonna do a bootcamp witj
h prodos. So either warzone or AvP
Great weekender guys but I’m not loving the faction choices for the Infinity boot camp.
(And that’s the last I’m going to say on the subject as I don’t want to start another Bolt Action incident. Lol )
Happy Saturday,
The live blogging is great i could check your updates while waiting in the queue. hope to see a lot more of it.
Bumper episode today. Couldn’t manage the Backstger meet up unfortunately, but did manage to say hi to Lloyd at Salute. Always good to chat with a fellow DUST player.
You are onto a winner with these Boot Camps. Would love to attend one, but unlikely I would get an all weekend pass from the wife with the age of our three little ones. Then again I did get a Salute pass which was unexpected, so never say never….
Never has the date of a boot camp made me more depressed 🙁 Infinity bootcamp with Carlos and I’ll be in Russia. Looking forward to the footage guys.
Woooooot….Weekender!!!!! A quick hello to all as I am working. After shift I plan to spend it watching the beautiful beasts of war hosts. Yes I mean you Warren ( @warzan )
Lol 😉
happy weekend. Can you be more precise for the bootcamp than just end of june ? like the actual dates 🙂
Pretty sure I said them ( had them on the notes so sorry if I didn’t! Lol)
26th, 27th, 28th
I gotta admit, I was **slightly** . . . I don’t want to say disappointed . . . but **slightly** let down to see that the original Waterloo idea for the June Bootcamp didn’t ramp up enough interest. Then again, with Bolt Action in May, I guess it wouldn’t make sense to have two historical bootcamps in a row. 😀 Full steam ahead for Infinity bootcamp!
might have said it, then i missed it. But those are the dates I wanted to hear 🙂
Great to have the weekender back! Loved the live blog but weekend not the same without the weekender, my daughter likes to get me up super early on Saturday and Sunday and watching you guys takes the edge off.
How about a home raiders meta game where they invade a war games table. 1 turn warmachine, one turn home raiders. They could use the jacks as cover, then next turn you may be confused when you find your warcaster isn’t where you left him
Happy weekend, wish I wasn’t working but that’s life. Can’t believe Salute was only a week ago
The Mordenburg under the toilet clamp thingy reminds me of the sewer cell from … one of the Iain M Banks books (some Culture-vulture will be able to tell me which one).
A nice (really nasty) stuff.
* A nice (really nasty) touch.
Send coffee.
@somegeezer – it was the first of the Culture books – Consider Phlebas. Nasty…
Home raiders will be a kickstarter to support, it is a brilliant concept!
The Dust faction is way too strong in my home and needs to be sucked back to its original planet. 😉
Happy weekend – great seeing you there (and Friday evening – just too bad they close the pub so early )
The Fort George table was my highlight. Ron even has his own coffee table book –

ok 50 min to wrap up and go top work, quiet in house please!
I am looking forward to the Blackpool Pleasure Beach Live Blog….
Happy weekend… a bumper weekender. Last weekend was epic with the meet up and a few drinks I kinda had a very similar feeling to @warzan last Saturday. .lol However I survived and Salute was great and good to see all you guys that made it to our table:-)
Just getting ramped up for the Bolt Action Bootcamp next:-)
Great video, congrats to all the prize winners too!
That blackpool day out looked epic.
Happy post Salute Saturday! Good to meet you briefly (on the day).
FYI Justin, your trip to Salute broke your furthest South record… just! (Southend pier, 51.52N; Excel, 51.50N)
I hop you have news of EU distribution of Emergence Event. At present it’s only available direct from Megacon (US) for $50… with $62 postage !!!
Gooooood Morning Beasts of War and all us acolytes. Sitting down to the Weekender and still on a high from last weeks Salute 😀 . My hobby space is covered in half built goodies and I cannot wait to get back to them after watching another cracking episode on a lovely Saturday morning.
thanks for the Salute coverage, i couldnt be there so really appreciated your hard work guys 🙂
