UK Games Expo 2024 - the complete experience

The UK Games Expo 2024 began on 31st May 2024 at the NEC in Birmingham, UK. Here's a selection of the games being demonstrated on the first day. The Expo is MASSIVE, and there is only so much space on the internet, so these are the best bits.
Bonus points if you spot Ronnie from Mantic, Miniwargaming Dave and the grandfather of the games industry himself, Sir Ian Livingstone.

Thanks for this video. I just got home from the Expo and will use your video to show everyone how big the show was

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

You’re welcome! Glad it was useful.

[@duncansBoB]

Many thanks for the great footage! Really pleased to see you found our Bolt Action boards (8:56), there raising money for charity and introducing people to the game. Hope you had a great time. Best wishes. Duncan's Band of Brothers

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

You're welcome! They were fantastic boards and were so busy I had to come back to get footage of all of them. Well done!

[@arkhamarmoury4253]

Trying (and failing) to explain to my other half what the expo is like, this is the best walk through I’ve seen!

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

Glad I could be of help! 😆 Thanks for the compliment!

[@arkhamarmoury4253]

@ we have a stall/stand/pitch this year and trying to explain that it’s so much different than any small comic con I’ve done before has been difficult 😅

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

@@arkhamarmoury4253 I'll probably go this year too, so when you know your Stand number put it in the comments here and I'll be sure to get some footage.

[@khublaklonk4480]

Thanks for sharing your day at Expo. I think I need to go back there next time.

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

You're welcome, although it will probably be even busier next time!

[@robdob]

Haha! That’s me with my back to camera in the blue checkered shirt ( 3:11 ) learning Star Wars Unlimited with my friend. It was my first ever expo and I loved every minute of that Friday. Defo going again next year.

“I can make you a star, son!” 😂

[@TheROne1974]

thanks for the tour !

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

You’re welcome!

[@nealbarton7434]

So glad to find this! I’ve seen very little out of UKGE until now. Looks like the events has become huge!

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

I’m happy I could help you! It’s a fun (but tiring) event.

[@BoxedMeeples]

We couldn't make it to UKGE wo its great to see the expo through your eyes. Those huge diroamas are so impressive

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

Glad I could be of service! 😊

[@Pr2two]

It was buuuuusy. For my girlfriend who is a newcomer to events like this was a bit overwhelming. I love the variety of things. Wish it wasn't so packed to walked through and the air was very stuffy on Sunday. It was great but don't think we'd be back. 10/10 recommended if you haven't been. There's lots to see and lots to buy.

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

It was really busy on Friday too - I went then because I thought it would be quieter. Nope! 😂

[@WojoO]

Hope you would have a little more video of Maladum at 3:54

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

Are 20 seconds of Owlbears not enough for you? 😎

[@WojoO]

@@ModelPaintWhatever maybe 3:52 :p there is a glimpse of Maladum from Battle system its supposed to ship really soon to backers from kickstarter that's why im so curious about it 😀

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

The expo continues today so maybe someone will see this and go get some more footage. I was only there on Friday.

[@andyh117]

What was the queue at the Hilton for?

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

I couldn't see - it was for one of the presentations, and I think it started at 2pm on the Friday.

[@dokadadoka]

What do you do here?

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

I make videos and say silly things in the comments. 😂

[@noprobllama9747]

What terrain was that from?

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

Which part of the video are you talking about?

[@cptlazyjack]

On Saturday it was so busy you could hardly move around in Hall 1, Hall 2 was slightly better. It wasn't fun.

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

Yeah, I can imagine. Friday was super busy.

[@Cyberpunkguitarist]

Too much emphasise on miniatures for my liking

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

Thanks for your feedback. Sorry, miniatures are what I'm into and to be honest they are far more visually interesting for a video than card games or endless merch stalls. What would you have liked to see more of specifically, so I know for next time?

[@TheSuperPsychoKiller]

NERDS!

[@ModelPaintWhatever]

Where?!?!?! Oh, at the Bear Grylls Adventure next door, you mean. 😝
