Salute Setup Time-lapse
We got down to Salute yesterday and wanted to show off a bit of the hustle and bustle from the folks setting up. The hall is MASSIVE and the vendors are putting together some great looking booths and tables.
How many of you will be coming to Salute for the first time?
The Horde Approaches Time-lapse
And so they come to buy, game and more!
We'll be diving into the crowd and starting to get some interviews done shortly so keep an eye out for more very soon.
Lance Goes Gooey Over Twilight
Lance gets gooey and starts falling in love with these wonderful miniatures for the world of Twilight.
What do you make of these nice looking creations? We think Lance might be besotted...
Casual Wargamers: A Nature Story
In the midst of the chaos, we take some chill time to speculate just what makes a Wargamer at Salute.
On my way 🙂
Guess the hangovers ain’t to bad if you got posts up this early 😉
How did @lancorz find flying lol?
All good, didn’t like it banking side to side… or the two attempts at landing.
Lol
Just imagine you’re in a rollercoaster 😉
Besides …
any landing you can walk away from is a good one 😀
Better two attempts than one complete and utter failure.
Okay… let the coverag beginn ^^
Salute 2018 in Rotterdam please :p
Utrecht would be much better … but failing that Eindhoven isn’t bad either. 😉
Utrecht would indeed be better
On my way now 🙂
Have fun guys. Wish I was there.
So I’m placing this comment with false hope that for first time in life I’ll actually win something in a lottery. Feel free to prove me that aint gonna happend.
Wish I was there but had to choose between Salute and UKGE.
Love that Frostgrave table. Looking forward to the coverage. Always so much to see so I’ll be interested to see what cool stuff you find that we haven’t seen before.
Have fun guys
I sadly can’t make it, but I wish you loads of fun and I’m looking forward to all your great pictures and videos.
Wish I could make it this year; the stars haven’t aligned correctly for a few years now, but I will be back at some point as it is a blast! Have a great day everyone!
Sweet, have a great day guys!
That’s Lloyd talk for ‘take more pictures now Dave!’
Thanks for the coverage!
What a super weekend is lined up. One day I shall attend!
One day I’ll take a trip down to Salute. It’ll happen…
Waiting for my nephew(8) to take him to his very first experience of salute after getting interested in warhammer a couple of months ago
Is this a bit like the British version of Adepticon?
Kinda of but much different. Think of the vendor area at Adepticon but 10 times bigger. Throw in full size demo tables in between in the aisles. That is Salute, no tournaments or big games. Mostly sales. It is an amazing experience and we really enjoy it. We are really sad we are not this year. It is worth the trip from the States. The Backstage meet up is always a great time. I highly recommend it to anyone.
I hope i wish be there with you next year
Wish I was going today 🙁
Wish I was going – would like someone to go to black scorpion to see if they have any more info about the tombstone kickstarter
Wish I was going, probably could have if I hadn’t spent so much ‘socialising’ this month.
Damn, ain’t been to salute in 5 years, wish I was there
Wish you were too dude
At salute, Justin I’m coming for my hug. Warren, missing you mate :p
Breakfast done so on my way . All the shiny stuff here is come hahaha
