UK Games Expo 2023: Live Blog

Camden games have brought a plethora of games for people to try out while they’re here at UK Games Expo. They have even brought their newest game Asteroid Dice with them for people to demo so make sure to come down and give it a go!

TTCombat are here at UK Games Expo and they have come with a big stand full of new miniatures to check out. They have brought new Dropzone Commander and new Dropfleet Commander models to show off.

Sons Of Skaro are a Doctor Who cosplaying group that are clearly very passionate about the universe and the cosplays they build. Justin has a chat to two of the Sons Of Skaro about their incredible Dalek cosplays which look just fantastic.

Justin has a chat with Battlefront/Gale Force 9 about the newest upcoming releases from them and what they have brought to the show. A few secrets are going on in the background at Battlefront for Team Yankee and World Of Tanks which can’t be shared with us but keep an eye out as they’ll undoubtedly be interesting.

Para Bellum’s talented team are currently demoing Conquest in multiple languages in Hall 1 while a tournament is also being run for the game in Hall 3. A word of warning however, visitors to the stand may encounter a few Angry Chickens (prefer mine fried to be honest)!

Justin is at the Warlord stand where not only does he find out about their latest releases but also catches up with Tommie Soule whose work can be seen in volume 5 of Dave Taylor’s “The Art Of” book series.

Cubicle 7 paid us a visit at the Main Stage yesterday so Justin returned to favour to see how their Expo has been going (I think he used it as an excuse to stay “in character”). If you’re looking to pick up some Warhammer RPGs in either flavour (Sci-Fi or Fantasy) make your way down to Cubicle 7 Avenue in Hall 1.

If you seen the Dragon Off between Ralph Horsely and Andree Schneider yesterday on stream and are attending the Expo today you have a chance to own one of the drawings as they have been kindly donated to the National Kidney Federation next to us at stand 2-774.

Andree’s work can be won via a raffle at £5 per ticket while Ralph’s is a silent auction. The raffle draw and auction kick off this afternoon at 2:45pm.

The Viking village is back at UK Games Expo and it’s bigger than ever! With over 40 tents outside of the show they have taken up all of the ground they can get and it is a magnificent sight. Of course it wouldn’t be UKGE without some sort of game so the Vikings show us some traditional Viking board games.

Halls 1 and 2 have closed for the day but opening gaming and tournaments are taking space in both Hall3 of the NEC and over in the local Hilton hotel.

AWA Game Design are showing off War On Terra, their new table-top wargaming system which has hit it Kickstarter goal and is still live until the end of Monday if you are interested:

Footsore Miniatures – the guys behind The Baron’s War – are here at UKGE and they’re here to show us their newest set of upcoming miniatures.

As you may have seen in earlier posts each day UK Games Expo are giving visitors the chance to win a £1000 shopping spree each day of the show. Saturday’s winner has been chosen and is currently deciding how to spend the money.

Meanwhile as you can see Friday’s winner has picked a up nice mixture of board games, 40K and paint. There is one more giveaway on Sunday, for more information CLICK HERE.

CrowD Games, Floodgate Games & PSC have a combined stand with the likes of Kites, Dogfight and Batsu on display.
