Salute 2013 Photo-Blog

So this weekend involved the annual trek to London for Salute on Saturday, the biggest dedicated wargaming show in the UK, and possibly Europe.

Rather than shoving all the images into one post, this year I've set up a bunch of sub-galleries and will include only the picks here.

 

Antenociti's Workshop

Jed from AW is working on a new table suitable for Infinity, with a strong jungle/woodland theme. He says it's about 60% done so I'm curious about how it's going to look when it's done!

His laser-cut module range is getting an expansion and apparently a price cut which is great news. The basic modules are going to be pretty cheap so gamers can bulk out a table quickly but then there'll be lots of optional extras for the modellers, including tinted windows, interior detailing panels, 'feet' to lift the module off ground level, exterior ladders etc.

SLW Hammer's Slammers Table

The huuuuuuge 15mm SF table from Salute's organisers was amazing, taking up a good 10m frontage. Here's a just a couple of snaps, see the gallery for more.
