Call to Arms 2018

Every year the Wellington Warlords runs a convention in August, with over 100 gamers. Typically multiple tournaments and this past year we had 3 major tournaments for 40K, AOS and DBMM (i think).

I am done with tournament gaming but like to attend, check out the bring and buy table and be part of the event. Inspired by the UK events that are almost entirely demo games, and seeing some amazing demos a previous Call to Arms i decided i wanted to set up and run an entire game on my own, with an aim to being as visually eye catching as possible.

This is the story of how i planned it out, and how it all looked (its a bit long sorry).

Progress and other games

/

No new terrain to add yet, have nearly finished a bunch, but i was more incapacitated by some surgery i had mid week than expected. 

just need to flock a few more bits and then will have another 10 buildings and similar finished.

In other news, have been playing Necromunda with John at the club, so far the Stealer cult has won all the games, but primarily by getting lucky with some timing and the aberrant going ape and murder smashing more than a few people.

have not painted any models for a while, am looking forward to Call to Arms being over so i can focus on something other than zombie stuff (or maybe different zombie stuff).

looking at working on some deadzone terrain for a new Scifi table, and building up the deathwatch army, as well as finishing off some of the DoomFarers i have part done, and then working out a small force for Deadzone/firefight.

have had my chapter symbol designed so the next step is to get the shoulder pads made on Shapeways so i can kit them out properly.

realised i have not played much this year, but have played a variety of games.

  • 40K
  • Saga 2
  • The Walking Dead
  • Necromunda
  • Infinity

a lot less than last year (no Xwing or Frostgrave yet), but hoping to add a few new games before the end of the year.

Weathered Cars for Zombie Games

I am building a table for a convention my club is having in August, for a large TWD game. Heaps to do and i may need to scale it back a bit if time and work (and a 3 month old daughter) get in the way.

the table is going to be able to be changed, so the pieces need to be seperate rather than a sculpted table.

Starting off i am working on some of the abandoned vehicles that will be laying around.
