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 
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!

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)

It has been some time coming, almost a week to the day, but its finally here. My Event Report from Video Games Live at Cardiff. Video Games Live is an event that plays a selection of popular game music, using a full orchestra, accompanied with a stage show and large screens with videos of the games, in time to the music. After the jump I have embedded one of their trailers from Youtube. I strongly suggest you watch it before going any further.
