Nice one Dave, lovely to meet you and your wife.
Sorry to hear you got gout man. That shit hurts bad, my mother gets it a lot.
Your talent for cinematography can carry your "ill prepared" video quite well. This was a joy to watch, thanks
Dude, those Hector minis are AWESOME

James is also the legend behind GW’s best sports game (hands down) Blitz Bowl.
Nice to see Bushido is still around. It’s a great little game and plays in a small table area, although some of the early models were very fiddly to construct. I expect you’ll enjoy it.
52miniatures! You two are my go to content creators in this scene

With minis like this! It deserves it
I've played in a number of historical wargaming participation games at Salute, Vapnartak, Partizan, Hammerhead etc. I'm always struck by the welcome and sheer enthusiasm of the people running the games. Total opposite to Warhammer Fest 2023! Thanks to these shows I finally found a game my whole family love playing- Burrows & Badgers. Oh and most of these shows only cost £5 to get in.

B&B is such a great game. It’s the first game my wife showed interest in!
Oh man, Bushido! I just recently bought into this game and I’m super excited to play it
Was really great to meet you, Thanks for stopping for a pic!
Saw you at the Titan Dad play pen, but I knew you were busy so did not want to intrude. So very much glad you enjoyed your time, minus the pain. The chap you mention for TTCombat stuff is Cody. He is a legend at work. I always have a great time with him, and I love his energy.
Wow, thanks so much for the mention. We love that you liked our set up and got what we’re about, and really do hope to boost the hobby and its community with GriffCon (yes, it’s in Harlow Essex 😊)
Was lovely to meet you there, fantastic footage (as always) covering the event. 51 was my first mini con and it'll definitely become a part of my calendar going forward. Sorry to hear about the Gout...
I saw you there but was too shy to come over a say hi 🙂 Didn't realise it was your first Salute, that's cool, glad you enjoyed it. My bro and I have been going for the last few years, it's becoming a tradition at this point.
As a fellow sufferer of The King's Disease the thought of clomping around a con while having a flare up is well into the "This is my nightmare" territory. Hats off to you sir for managing and I hope you got some relief soon after.

Yeah for some reason I didn’t see any while I was there, probably because it was too busy to get close to a lot of shelves
Wow ended up in a MS_Paints Video did not expect that. I will say people in the UK seem to underestimate how blessed they are with shows, between the big ones like Salute and the smaller ones scattered around. I have done 3 salutes now wrapped around UK vacations but that is a journey of like 7000 km... so a bit of haul. It did feel nice and vibrant this year though, hopefully with the different content creators attending this year more people will see it isn't all just dusty old historicals. Was great to meet you and Hector.
Not all those who wander are lost. I feel inspired to find some indie cons around me!
I really like UK Games Expo purely for the smaller artists/companies, of course i buy stuff from big companies as well but just seeing the smaller creators who have put genuine love into products whether they be a mini ttrpg campaign book or badges or miniatures etc etc. But it just feels amazing and train wide feels worth it.
Great overview of your day. I need to make more of an effort to get out to these sort of things.
Pleasure meeting you there even if I was massively awkward!
Love your enthusiasm for indie and out of print games. re: XWing 2.0 - that game has staying power, especially if you prefer the original trilogy. The 1.0 conversion sets give you everything that you need (except the models) for an entire faction as of the end of 1.0. Since gameplay wise, all that matters for models is bases, that gives you a heap of options on the cheap. Worth picking up if you see them.
Wayland games..Burrows and badgers my Mr lovejoy. Brilliant game ..brilliant minis

Aye aye, I have some wanting attention upstairs that I need to get around to painting.
That was a cool idea of a faction neutral starter. Hope more companies do the same
merci Dave 🥰et gros bisous a HECTOR 🥰🥰🐸🐸🐸🐸
"... I need to piss every five minutes." I think I need that on a t-shirt. The H&S Frog mini looks really lovely. Will there be a Tony mini, in perpetual forward motion? Did you bump in to any Grey Knights looking to collect Hectorgramic Wards? Dan is brutal and cunning. Bill is cunning and brutal. That Bushido Starter Set is very clever. Those candles on Mt Inari look really impressive; I wonder what makes their flames so chonky?
It was my son and I first vist to Salute as well. Nice to meet you in person, been watching your videos for a few years now. Hope you enjoy x- wing when you get to play it.... in my defence you did not need much convincing!
We need a Tony T-shirt with 'perpetual forward motion' on it!
Glad to see you enjoyed the show. Great taste shown in your purchases I might add. Bushido has been on my radar for ages and the lack of dice in The Woods makes it hugely intriguing as a game. Can I just shout Hereward wargames show at Peterborough and Diceni at Norwich here in the comments as another two great annual events to add to the calendar.
That looked like a really fun event. I hope I can get over there someday to see it, looks like it is worth the travel. I hope you feel better soon, mate. I too have the Gout from being perpetually dehydrated, but watch out for the other thing it creates...kidney stones. I wouldn't wish those on anyone, try to stay hydrated. Great video, mate. I can't wait to see you put that temple together, and I'd LOVE to see you paint those Bushido minis. Cheers!
reminding me that geek gaming as a YT channel is gone :( but great to hear jordan sorcery pop up elsewhere, love that dude
Love seeing GCT and Bushido. I enjoy the game and the minis are excellent! I hope you enjoy it as much too.
Wasn't expecting to see myself in your video! Salute is great and I have enjoyed every year I have been
2:51 I long how they are "just" Playing a large game of Tainticus with 40k Scale models which is insane and awesome at the same time.
I think you need to have Mrs Dave answer sent in questions. Great vid mate cheers 😄👍

Dave, always love your videos. Your delivery style is so down to earth. Hope you get to feeling better. And I am excited to see your take on the temple build.
You've always got the best music
Is it just me, or is the thumbnail and title a subtle-ish homage to Adam and Tabletop Minions?
That HALO terrain looks pretty interesting.
Something chill and jazzy. Exactly what I needed today. Thank you.
dat gothic 2 ost :)
So glad I bumped into you after the show, even if I embarrassingly confused you with Luke, but still woot!
Another great video ! Salute looks awesome and you got some really cool stuff there. Them boards are insane. Think I recognised one from Mel the Terrain Tutor maybe. Looking forward to the up coming videos them tanks are sik ! Stay safe man hope the gout clears up :)
Looks like an amazingly fun convention! Thanks for doing this & hopefully you can get to some of the smaller more comfy ones in the UK to have a fun time.
Love your stuff
Need to find some more of those Legion AA5's cheap, loved painting my first 2...oh and they were in the winning list at worlds this year...yea. Great vid btw :)

Was awesome to catch you and the others at the Patreon meetup, glad you and wife and Hector had a good con!
So good to meet you at the weekend, you are as nice and funny in person. What surprised me most about the event was the amount of space, I attended UKGE last year and had to leave early due to how cramped it was. At Salute you had space to breathe, even though I now realise how much I didn't see in over 6 hours. When I did eventually leave it wasn't due to boredom or anything, it was due to the fact that I'd spent £100+ over my budget and could easily have spent the same again. As an aside I love the Zack Snyder film aesthetic, use a lot of slo-mo to make the footage last longer. Keep up the good work.
Used to go to all the big shows in Sheffield and Derby and a ton of the smaller ones. Sadly due to health can't do 'em anymore but I always try to get to St. Helens for Phalanx nice little show and friendly. I did say try....
Good see you there fella, as I said then , your great keep doing your videos matey !
I saw Cloudships of Mars at Partizan and loved it, absolutely mad. Really nice bloke too, he told me the setting is based off some old board game but I definitely at least heavily modified the rules.
Really enjoyed this video

Oh I know James Hewitt 😂 he's worked on many a great game 👍
Looking forward to Halo! Looks like it’s based on the Deadzone core which is a FANTASTIC game. With space rats! Really, it’s win-win.
One of the only hobby channels my partner will watch with me and enjoy. Cheers!
Great little snapshot, Dave, thanks for showing off the event. I've never been, but absolutely will get there one year! Contrary to what modern marketing practices might have us believe, stuff like Salute IS this community. Hope you're pain's got his coat and fkd off 👍
Bushido! One of (if not THE) greatest tabletop games! Have fun with it!
I've never met anyone that loved MDF terrain as much as that bloke
I need to get down south and meet you at one of these things sir. Sorry to hear about your gout, my manager used to get it bad
Bushido definitely looks like one of those "I'd totally just get the minis for this and never do anything game related with" categories. Neatly falling in an orderly queue with the likes of Infinity, Malifaux, and Warmachine.
It was my first salute too! Picked up some cool treasure from black scorpion miniatures

Great video and good showcase of the con and glad you made this video which have you tried sports drinks? Like water does nothing for me but a sports drink can instaly make me hydrated and I get very dyhadated easly.
I recognize that tenchu music. Good taste
not being funny man but we'd still watch shaky staggery footage, just to keep up the support, great video dude, need to find me some indie cons on the other side of the pond

I had the same Bushido experience at Adepticon. I also got the Kitsune set.
Salute was daan saafff,😜 I missed it 😢 I'm in the concrete jungle been here close to 20 years now, expensive ain't the word it has its downsides but there are a few places starting to pop up that semi satisfied my hobbying addictions
Going to Carronade then getting obliterated in a pub in Edinburgh after is an all time fav
Looks like a great day out, apart from the agony, missed train, gout, warmer weather, lack of footage and spending lots of pennies….I do like TT COMBAT terrain though - welcome back to the north
Gout? Had it a couple of times myself. May I recommend ibuprofen and cherry juice? The space marine does go for a pee during the day, I have seen his armour parked at the top of the stairs down to the loo while his partner stands guard over it.

Seem to have finally gotten over the hill with it! Ibuprofen and 18 hours on the couch with Fallout 4 did the hard work i think
Really cool. 👍
Sorry for the gout, yeh, dehydration at cons is a thing.
I wish I could have got the time off for salute, but at least you got to meet my mate Simon, perhaps next year
Nice
15:46 thanks for mention those things as it's what I'd expected but it's good to know that is what they are doing.... Though my main concern is the grid as they are massive and the models tiny and the table does not help show them so how do they play?
Dat Tenchu Wrath of Heaven music
You going to be at UK Games Expo!?
Yeah, seems like everyone is trying to liquidate Fantasy Flight stuff these days. It's not even just the old releases, since I've seen Shatterpoint and the new MCP stuff marked way down as well. I think it's just a knock-on effect of how they do their releases; over-produce starters, underproduce expansions, and inevitably the players move on because they either can't keep up or can't get new product.
Hope it wasn't one of my bouncers who kicked you out... I told them to be cheerful! Catch you at another show. 😁
It was great to meet you, hector and you're lovely wife But what i got from this video is, ask if you've drunk enough if we see you :) Cya next time sir!
I paid for a ticket to attend Griffcon 2023... but it ended up being GRIFTcon 2023. It was just one dude behind a table laughing and waving what I assumed was my money at me and flipping me off. Seemed weird renting a whole space just to let me know he'd ripped me off, must have cost him more than what he grifted from me, but you have to admire his commitment to the grift.
No interest in the T.V. series, but Faction seems like it could be pretty entertaining. Thanks for the upload!
Are you considering turning up to the UK Games Expo later this year, or is that one con too many? >
Where can we find s list of the events in the UK, I always here about them after the event has taken place :(
I did see you and Health and Safety Frog in the queue to get in, wanted to come over and say hello, expecially to Hector but that would have involved quite a bit of queue jumping and the size of the arms of the bloke in front of me made it very clear that was not a good idea.
Hey. We saw you in the queue, but we decided it was too early in the morning to bug you and say hello.
