Glad you liked my x-wing table! :)

Fenris Descending at 6.48 was my game, what didn't get mentioned was that all 114 robots were scratch built along with 95% of what was on the table. The rocks in particular are made from a foam yoga block :)

I really appreciate that you also give credits to other builders Mel! Great respect. I absolutely love that X-wing glass table with the multiple layers! That storage box made me love but it is quite clever because you can put all the stuff back inside the box.

The Rogue One table is genius. Also the rounded corner building, it's lovely.

So many tables there that I didn't see. Those Drowned Earth tables looked amazing. They should have won an award. Wish your D-Day board could have been there.

Its amazing to see how much effort people put into this tabletops.

This is the best coverage of Salute. Firstly you cover all the awesome tables, and secondly you edit it with great still shots, instead of the wobbly camera between tables. Top notch work mate.

I thought the video finished after 15 minutes but to my surprise I had been watching 45 minutes. Awesome video Mel! Thank you.

Great idea to include these HQ pics of the tables - nicely done again :) You know exactly what terrainiacs like :)

much love mel! this type of coverage of the hobby is what we need more of, truly exciting stuff, your enthusiasm in particular is part of what has got me back in to the hobby over the past 2 years

Overjoyed to see you shot our humble "Papers Please" games (34:30) - wish I'd seen you. Btw the roads and buildings are all Slug Industries, the flock is a home mix not 4ground and the trees are Debris of War.

Thanks Mel for the report. Sad that I couldn't go there this year, I wish so much to see you at Salute ^^ See you next year!

Great Set Ups, Tons of Cool Ideas! Pure Magic Madness! Thanks for Posting. BB

I'm going this year for the first time ever, really looking forward to it!

I travelled from Australia to be there. I wish I had the chance to say hello.

Mel THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! You do SUCH A GREAT JOB at showing us the best of the BEST tables Buddy!!!!! You have INSPIRED so many people!!!!! A lot of what you see there I BET you helped them on via your channel!!! Again GREAT JOB!!!!!!!:)

Thanks for taking the time to show us all! Well done!

FINALLY!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SALUTE VIDEO... MANY THANKS FOR YOU

Thanks for sharing it with us!! I hope to go someday... YEV!

Thank you .

Incredible video! Thanks for your reportage!

Thanks for the kind words about my Gaslands board! I watched a bunch of your videos whilst working on it, in particular following your "Texturing gaming boards with filler (spackle)" guide for making the dried up river bed. Sorry I wasn't at the table when you stopped by so I could say thanks! Cheers!

Nice to see the boards in the vid so some good help with ideas, them barriers on the second infinity board are from AT43 loved them and wanna find some more.

thank you mel really appreciate what u done

Mel, i just wanted to say thankyou for your videos. Ive only just found your channel and, my god, WOW. I love the knowledge in your tutorials and the atmosphere you use to present your vids. Please keep producing content!

Man alive! Some beautiful displays and terrain there Mel. I got into this hobby a few years back now to do the whole terrain and mini thing but I have become bogged down in army painting and got a little too enthusiastic tbh. I can only dream of the day my armies are finished and I can get into terrain building like I wanted to originally. All my stuffs premade buildings and even a cityscape board and although its nice there is just something special about scratch built tables. I even have 90% of the materials sitting waiting on me getting started! At this rate I'll be 110 yo before I get going !! Thanks Mel :)

I appreciate the table walk through.. Thank you/

Very good video! Thank you for your work! Greetings from Germany!

You rock Mel, thank you! (at last I can see the whole show :) )

That Jurassic Park table was insane. Beautiful work.

Beautiful

Bexley Reapers always do a good table and jolly nice blokes too.

Always liking your vid's keep on going and make us dream of all plays and table :)

Nice video tour. "It works really well!!"

Viv was there, cool! Wonderful to to see aussies visting the first realm, nice too see an ausstraillian aborigonal game too.

That hessian table at 23:00 is an amazing idea!!!!!

I particularly love jungle and overgrown terrain, I wish I could make them

Great video tour

Great selfie with Duncan! If you two produced a model/terrain combo I'm not sure the universe could handle the awesome ;-)

Infinity tables look great. You can do a whole blade runner theme with that game.

Nicely done.

Amazing tables 10/10 ...salut TheTerrainTutor for a great vid...

Thanks Man

thx for sharing..

Thank you

The table at 20:59+ is based on the XCom computer game, and looks very good at that :-)

Great video, really captured the show, unfortunately could not make it this year so was great to see what terrain was on show.. spot on mate. Those nice hex boards you liked were mine :) didn't even know they would be there, big surprise seeing them in the video. Great stuff

È um conhecimento muito além da imaginação.

Awesome stuff... :O

I love how complimentary Mel is to everyone. I love how the English are more easy going then some of their colonists. (

Yes, very nice..

I belive the one that you may have thought was war of the roses was playing a tabletop. Eraion of xcom 2

I often wonder how people who fought in these major wars like the Civil War and WW1 and WW2 would feel like if they knew people today played games based on these major events. I served in the U.S. Army for many years and I was deployed to Iraq 3 times. All 3 times I hated being there and just couldn't wait to get back home. Being there I just tried to focus on doing my job right and making sure my operators rode in as safe as possible vehicles when they rolled outside the wire. And If I had to go outside the wire it was usually to recover these guys after something happened. I always dreaded those calls because I never knew before I got there how bad the situation would be. Most of the times they were bad but not terrible. Terrible did happen sadly but its something you burry inside and just try to focus on the current job before you. But now that's all behind me and I have had time to think about what happened there and I guess maybe mellow out some. If you had asked me back when things were still fresh in my memory and I was still filled with all of the emotions I was back then I don't think my answer would be as forgiving if I was told people played games based on events I was a part of. Back then I had the sadness of losing too many friends and other things still fresh in my mind. But I am older and while I will always have that part of me with me till the day I die. I think my answer now is that its only natural for people to find ways to remember past wars and conflicts. And I think table top war gaming is a respectful way of doing things. I used to play BattleTech and a couple other table top games before I joined the Army. But when you start talking about games that deal with actual battles and wars then you are dealing with material where actual people fought and died. I think being in war has removed allot of the little boy romanticism I had with all things WW2. Once I saw what it really was like and felt the loss of friends. I learned its not just pictures in a book. Or black and white new reels. There is a level of suffering and pain that is attached to those events. And you haft to be respectful of those people and their sacrifices they made. I am currently getting back into gaming and I have no doubt I will deal with terrain making at some point. But no matter what my own personal experiences will shape how I see things going forward. And maybe alter choices I might have made if I hadn't seen first hand some of the things I have seen versus if I had never gone to war. Anyways thanks for the vids man. I enjoy them and your terrain works and advice on making them.

Very nice show and well presented. The photographs are amazingly well lighted compared to the video-parts. What camera and/or settings did you use for the photographs?

Some tables have way to much on them, each unto their own. I believe in the "Less Is More" adage, although the ideas are fantastic. :)

The 19:30 laser-cut buildings are TTCombat, I think.

The table @14:35 reminds me of some Turkish guys back hair... just green...

shame you didnt catch anvil industries table, they really bring it.

LETS CRACK ON!

The medieval Wall with big towers at The gate, was that new sarissa precision stuff?

Ahhh so many wargames are already mades, but my favorite game is already probably totaly death. Rest In Peace Warzone Mutant Chronicels. I know, here is the Warzone Resurection, but that suckers made models one inch higher, so we (players of old Warzone) can´t combine models from Resurection with old models from clasic Warzone :( . Was been some Warzone games on Wargames Show 2017?

Any idea what the game system on the Oshiro table is called. The models look sweet.

I wish your video quality was the same as the quality of your photos.

6:50... What game is it??? Fenris descending? I can´t find anything about this

Mel - Ever consider coming to the States for Historicon?

Hey Mel, how many feet tall and how many inches deep would I need to plan for an Arch De Triumph approximation for 40K scale would you say? I have only ever seen pics from a distance but love the idea for a Shrineworld board.

HI Mel, I heard you mention wire war trees a few times but what are wire war trees I can't find them anywhere online? Are they a manufacturer? love the channel, best wishes, J

I thought the white hair at about 4:35 was a cloud :')

Need to know how to make those trees at 39:00

Did i miss you go to your Turf War Z table in this video?

What does he say after you ask him if it is a warlord fort?

wery nise

Who are the guys at 9:06? Seems to be called Warsong, but can't find anything by that name.

20:30 maaa boiiii

can anyone tell me what the vietnam game at 8:40 is?

Wait Wait Wait, is that a Jurassic park miniatures game?

what is the game at 11:10 called?

Hey Mel, what was the warehouse terrain called at 9:00?

21:20 X-COM

@ 31:00 who makes the castle?

A-ma-zing, did I miss any Lord of the Rings battle wargames?

Nice tables but yall got nothing on us train guys

I was there, won't go again! A really good show ruined by the worst lighting I have ever encountered. This shows in the comparison between the video and the still pictures

Minute 42:00 sooo org... Bin neidisch...

Grown men playing with toys ...
