I wish the Beasts could have kidnapped a few of the Fantasy Flight guys and brought them over to do a few videos.

Excellent day. The event is getting bigger and better every year.

And, got to chat with Dave from Hawk Wargames and see the massive ship he built in the flesh. Plus, the new models for the starship battle game look fantastic. Until you see them close up you really can’t appreciate how beautiful they are.

Another brilliant expo. This events keeps getting better every year. First time I’ve seen and played the Krosmaster stuff, what a great game with beautiful miniatures. That’s now on the list. New magazine launch, loads of great bargains, some sneaky previews, so much good stuff to see.

This is a great even, and I think all the better for being at the new venue the last couple of years. It seems to get bigger and better each year. It is primarily a board game related event, with the vast majority of the focus being on games that are played straight out of boxes. But this is no bad thing as there are some great games out there now.
