Hey folks,

Was at Salute this weekend and spent a considerable amount of time filming the terrain and tables.

YouTube link

It's about an hour long, so grab a coffee and enjoy!

Cracking job. I caught your brief whirl of enthusiastic videoing as you passed our Dambusters game and was wondering where the footage would end up :D Makes up for all the tables I didn't see…!

Thanks for putting this together and also big applause for all the people who made such a tremendous effort with their tables.

Need to do more editing and proper use of the camera. Seems there were a lot a shots of the floor. Liked the tables shown though.

No worries guys :-)

@FleetFootMike – Loved that table, wish I'd given the game a go!

@Tyler326 – Sorry mate, Salute was manic and with me talking whilst walking between tables, it made it hard to edit the floor moments out. I'll be better prepared next time :-)

"It's not Agincourt …" Huh! "It was the wars of the Spanish Liberation 1813" …. Oh! ;-)

Cheers Mel. As a subscriber to your channel, I actually saw this before you posted it on here. It was like being guided round by a mate and made up for the fact that I couldn't attend. Glad you managed to get a shot of Crooked Dice's Ghostbusters table, as I'd seen the static shots and wondered what they were going to be doing with it. Slightly disappointed that we didn't see the finished Mantic Mars Attacks terrain that you were working on for them, but you can't have everything, I guess…

After the very first Salute at Excel I seem to recall the feeling that it looked like a jumble sale. Some years down the line the traders spend some money to resolve this issue with banners and trade stands and guess what – you still get people moaning that the hobby is getting too commercial. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I don't go to Salute every year, (I miss about 1 in 5) but every time I go I always have great day out. I know it's going to be noisy and hard on the feet so I prepare for that as much as I can. I like the fact that the games are mixed up, and not segregated. I think the suggestion of moving the mega traders into corners to control the queues would be a good idea.

I still found the show a bit hard to navigate. I know it would cost the Warlords but could we have banners at each end of the rows to mark them with the letters they have in the printed program?

The show seemed very busy this year, which is good thing to see and the fact that 8,000 e-tickets were sold would suggest that numbers were up by quite a margin.

@Royal Marine – I didn't have the heart to tell him I was only interested in the terrain :-)

@Carrion Crow – That Ghostbusters table was awesome mate. With how much of a rush the mantic stuff was, I completely forgot about it as soon as I dropped it off to them on the day.

@Timmo UK – I was a cracking show mate, the only two major queues I saw were troll trader and forge world but then I spent more time looking at the terrain :-)
