So just this weekend me and Ian (@WarTrader on Twitter) travelled up to London from the Southwest to visit Salute, a huge wargaming convention put on by the Warlords club. A very good time was had by all, and much shiny was purchased! (Although pics of that will be coming up later in a follow up blog post).

The event was pretty large, and I have to admit I was surprised at the diversity of a lot of the games being shown and demonstrated. While I do not need any more games to play right now, I am certainly keeping an eye on The World of Twilight for a possible future endeavour.

Along the way I got to finally put names to faces of many people I know online (@MarcUpdates – Thank for the accommodation!, @KhadorRed and @JohnnyHawkwind to name a few), and once again I met James Swallow at the Black Library stand. I have to admit I was rather impressed he remembered me as I walked up, but I think that was more to my Domo shirt and mentioning that I was going to Salute on Twitter :P

I have to admit that I am now rather struggling for things to really say, so I shall leave you with the pictures I took at the event with this handy gallery widget below. Enjoy!



Salute 2011 – The Event
Pictures taken during the Salute 2011 event. Mostly interesting and cool looking gaming tables, though I have no idea of which games a lot of them were playing!

More ForgeWorld goodies. I like the Achilles Land Raider, but I still prefer the colours on my Caestus Assault Ram ;)

I fell in love with the model of a Cowgirl riding the dinosaur and just *had* to order it once I got home (they went out of stock at the event)

My Hobby Pledge – 2011

I have been thinking about this for a couple of weeks now and had already made the decision to go through with this as of last week, however, after a discussion with some #Warmongers on Twitter earlier I thought it was necessary to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and make an “official” declaration.

Status Update

And a test of a new posting system too :) With regards to the reboot of my website, I have been tweaking things, re-tagging and re-categorising a lot of my old posts to fit in to the new structure better and I think I am just about done. The only thing I have left to do is get myself a new logo for a new site!

As for a test of a new posting system, this is it. If you can’t tell the difference, then that is perfect! It makes things much easier for me to post, and make interesting with pictures etc too. So pop over to the Hobby section and check out my game report from the big Apocalypse battle at the Inquisition club from last week.

Website Reboot!

Ok, so most of the heavy lifting has been done, and this is the result. I will be making some further changes and tweaks over the next few days, but I think I am mostly there. I was thinking of changing the default colour scheme of this theme, but I actually quite like it, so I think it can stay. ::EDIT:: Too late, I changed it :P

Big Changes are coming…

Sometime this week, I will be kicking into motion a plan for a reboot of Domonet. Nothing has been finalised yet, but it should help me with my appalling blogging and result in a better site for my few regular readers.

Ooops

I don’t do this regular blogging thing too well it seems :P I should really be sorting out the Part 2 of my E3 thoughts, but fr that you will have to wait until tomorrow. Right now I feel like having a cold beer and watching more Avatar: Last Airbender :P

Hold on to your butts…

Just seen that the WordPress 3.0 is up, and fancy a try out of that upgrade button, so here goes nothing…

::EDIT::

Well that all seemed to go to plan :) Aside from my custom logo and header graphics disappearing in the process of updating my theme everything else appears to be working as intended. Drop me a line if you notice anything out of place!
