My gaming blog about nerd stuff!

Gothcon

Kategori: Bauhaus

So it all started on Friday (Thursday was just dropping off a 50kg package, which my uncle carried by himself!!) 
 
 
Friday!
 
First to arrive of "Prodos Sweden" team, I was warmly welcomed by Rob, Elliot and Richard! The shop was already unpacked so we waited for our demo tables and our first customers, well after me.. I spent around 200£+ on minis before anyone else had a chance to see the stuff! Somethings was just to good to pass on!
Yea the Imperials, sold like nothing else! Wow those starter boxes were gone like the wind!
Rob was really looking forward to see what Sweden and Gothcon had to offer, since it according to him is like nothing in England. There people comes to the Prodos booth throws them money and says: "How much can I get for this!?"
 
Oh how lovely the Bauhausian Grizzly looks when its in pieces! ;)
 
So the shop was up and running with all four of us, selling and talking to excited fans of old and new. Lots of people who had no idea that Warzone finally was back! Lots of people were in our room all the time, people who had been visiting us before came back with their friends. It was really fun to see such love for the game!
 
Finally the saviour arrives, Andreas Erlandsson comes with our first demoboard and quickly builds it up and starts playing!
 
While they play we are busy in the shop (And taking photos, yes!) When another board comes in with Klas Whilney! He demands to face me in a demogame, sure why not!? ;)
 
Since we had no terrain over at the moment we had to have a large hill in the middle of the board to not get LoS at the beginning. He was playing Caps and I was playing Robs "Demohaus"
 
The  rest of the demo armies, Imperial, Bauhaus extra units and the Dark Legion.
 
After being defeated by my apprentice Klas (In the picture I have Steiner left.. but it was not for long!) He looked for a little more compition in his match and fought on the third demo table against its owner, Andreas Engström!
The brave! (Or foolish?) Trencher runs forth against Alakhai and cuts him with his bayonet!
 
Rob is looking... good... as always! ;) Moving on! Bring on the evening and a dinner at the Moon!
 
After our visit there, Elliot came up with the saying: You never go full moon!
 
Saturday!

Saturday morning the one and the only Fredrik "Hamilkar" showed up! Finally mate you made it! Thank the gods you got off work!
And then Henrik dropped in and "Prodos Sweden" were in the building! Really great to meet you guys again! Oh and Henrik, thanks for the book you left me! ;)
Prods crew for Gothcon 2014, with guests of honour Kex Chocklad and Plopp!
The whole day was packed with people, the demotables were almost never unused! Really great to see so many people enjoying the game!
 
 
My blogbrother Johan (Diceandbrush) made an apperance on the Con, he´s a really cool and funny guy.. And a much better painter than me! ;) Here we can see him preparing a battle against his reallife brother!
Johan´s two armies. So great looking, really jealous! Especially on the Alakhai, be sure to check him out!
 
Fredrik is looking for some new resin too buy, well he is in the right place! Put in the Caps section? (Thats his big spender face he´s making!)
 
Never catched his name, but he wanted his Hamilkar signed!
 
Sunday (Aprox. 01.00 People would still call it saturday)

 
The match is on, I know you guys have waited forever for it. But now I can finally give you the......
 
WORST WZR PLAYER IN THE WORLD MATCH!!!
 
 
Rob plays his Bauhaus and I try out the new Imperial who everybody says should be soooooo OP! Well lets go!
 
The greyhound was my last model, managed to kill Max and the Hussars but the Vulkan stomped me to bits, Vulkans win!!!
 
 
Rob, Richard and Elliot wanted a photo with the Worst WzR player in the world.. But since it was just the four of us it had to be two photos! 
 
 
Overall a really great and fun weekend! Thanks to everybody that came to us at gothcon, Prodos, Demogamers, Fans and thanks to Gothcon that let us be apart of this awesome Convention! See you guys next year and as a final picture this is what I brought home with me!
 
 

Updated Starterboxes

Kategori: Brotherhood

So I just checked out the new beautiful shop and the new retail boxes for startersets when I came across these changes in the starterboxes of Dark Legion and Brotherhood.
 
Alakhai is out, and two Necromutant Leaders are in. 
 
 
Cardinal Dominic is on the bench, welcome the new Inquisitor Squad Commanders
 
Really good idea to start with the Squad Commander upgrades instead of a Warlord. The same is in the Imperial Starter where the Trencher Officers are in the box. As the Warlord are replaced the starters wont have the same amount of "Power" in them making them even better for newstarted players to get a go on each other with. 
 
With no Warlord in the box to eat up a huge amount of points of your starting force, the Squad Commander is a great addition to your force. For low points cost they bring is a good deal for the amount of fire power or boost to the unit the lead.
 
 
 
Exciting news anyway! Will we see this change in all starters soon? Whats your thoughts on this change?
 

Warzone - Update and whats to come!

Kategori: Brotherhood

So first of here´s the B-Hood squads we havnt seen!
The Mortificators!
The Sacred Warriors
The Inquisitors!
Mirrormen!
And here are the Convension Exclusive models The Archangel and the new "the former Bauhausian Cybertronic Mirrorman Pieter Diamond will be a web exclusive model hopefully available in either normal or clear resin. He will also be available at Conventions." He is the upgraded squad commander for the Mirrormen.
 
And even more here are some pictures of the book and cards! (The book are sample pages before printing)
 
 
And here it is, Prodos Timeline! Imperial is not far away now!! I can feel the Young Guards beeing rendered now!
 
 Other news stated by Prodos is that The Crucifier are being resculpt since he was to thin and had a static pose which didnt look good for the mean killing machine he is! The other thing being resculpt is the Valkyries weapons cause the were "too fine" and redesigned.
 
So here you go, things are busy at Prodos now! Be seeing you guys at the convention for more sweet WZR!
