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!
 
 

2 vs 2 at Questing Knight

Kategori: Capitol

 
 
So we arrived to Questing Knight for some demo games! Wasnt so small as I had imagine!

We thought we would face each other BUT! Questing Knight had other plans and pitted my Capitol and Henriks Mishima against Cybertronic and Dark Legion!
 
So right to the good stuff right? They won the deployment roll and gave it to us. So here´s my force without the Airbourne Rangers whos stil in the plane ( Rapid deployment).

So we dicided to hold one front each so i was pitted against the Legion and Mishima against Cybertronic. Henrik hid in the forest while I was more in the open for more flexibel movement!
 
So we did win the first Initiative roll and the Light Infantry was the first to get going.
My other unit to be activated was the Banshees i used the jumppacks to get ahead of the rest of the army to shot at some Undead legionaires!
I took out two of the Legionaires with two shots! Victory will be mine!!! ( Or so I thought...)
They UL  with their Necromutant commander were activated and after that( Henrik played between) there were his Razides and lets just say... This was what remained!
 
And in the meantime my Light Infatry see this coming in the streets!

A Scorpion! Truly a hideous sight! ( Unless hes on your side)
On the Dark Legion front Golgotha finally makes a move and are on her way!

With a steady shambling of Undead behind her!

They Cybers are taking their time and sending in its Scorpions first!
 
 

This is actually quite funny... This was the beginning of many good laughs today! The Ronin tried to hit the UL:s but Henrik is a MASTER! of rolling over 17... with like everything he did! Mishima Quality!
 
So my brave Infantry runs up the alley and now the Questing Knigths guys tells me I can shot grenades with my M50:s.. What?! Really! Lets do it then!

So we targeting the Undead Legionaires and kill 2 of them! Yay more Zombies destroyed!
 
 
So my Mitch was feeling alittle lonely on the left front with 2 Razides and Golgotha on her way, I dropped the Airbournes and unleashed a hail of missles at the Razides.. with little affect! 3 missed and only 1 wound!!!
 
So the next thing the DL player does is engage my poor old Airbournes! Picking of two right away!
 
Meanwhile Mitch hides out in the bushes and feels he´s beeing watched!
 
 

On the other front the Meka has taken a few hits but are still going strong and have taken out a Scorpion and are now looking to chop ut some circute sushi of the Chasseurs!
 
The other Scorpion gets to taste the Capitol Shotgun, and he doesnt like it!

And Mitch turns into a human hurricane and wipes out the Undead Legionares and Necromutant Leader, then he´s an easy target for the Razides who chopped up the poor Airbournes real good!

So now he´s down to his last wound! And are still in the open.. What are you doing Mitch!?
 
Then suddenly Golgotha uses her mirror and shows up and brings the pain with 6 attacks in the back of Mitch! (Ouch)

But it´s okey, she´s only ST 10. so no problems with saving that!
 
Back to the other front where Meka is chopping Chasseurs, no problems there!
 
Then back to Mitch again.... This could be alittle more troublesome!

I just say this. No he didnt make it! :(
 
So now I´m down to my last guy! One brave little Light Infantry!
So here he is! The Ronin squad makes a BANZAAAIIII!!!! And chops the Scorpion to bits!

Then they charged the Everassaur and gets down to only one after a Undead Legionare and Necromutant charge raising more Undead legionares.
 
My Light Infantry then panics and shoots a granade in the middle of it..... And to his great dissapointment only kills his Mishima friend! ;(
 
He then is charged by the Everassaur and are smashed to bloody paste...
 
GAME OVER!
 
Ha even though we lost this is one great game! Really fun and amazing rules, makes the battles feel more real and gives every model his own chance to shine! Im really impressed with the rules, minis and the joy of playing!
 
 
 
Thank you Questing Knight Games! This was really fun, both meeting you guys and play in your shop! Thanks for having us and will be seeing you guys tomorrow!
 
 

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!
 

Speculations about Cyber Exclusive

Kategori: Tabletop

So I've been thinking and sharing some thougts on Facebook. Firstly I was Hoping for either Vince or Beach, but Mark stated the model will be on a 30mm base and not a Warlord/Lord model.

At the forum where it was posted there were a Armylist with the following text:

Public Safety Team- 741 points
Warlord: Dr Diana Commander

Troops: Chasseurs, SSW5500 Rocket Launcher, PR4000 Plasma Rifle, Optical Enhancement, Weapon Cyber-Link

Troops: Chasseurs, PR4000 Plasma Rifle, Steel Skin, Mitochondrial Infusion

Support: Curiassers, +1 member, Femoral Enhancement

Support: Mirrormen, CSA404 swords, Compubrain

This is the highly-visible face of the Corporation, designed to show them off as a force for public protection and good. Hooray for Cybercurity! Dr Diana in charge and Chasseurs provide the human face, and the Mirrormen were always glory hounds. The Curiassers are there to show off Cyber's power and capabilities.

And the reply from Prodos was:
" I really like the 'Public Safety Team' idea and you really have chosen the best units to be the face of the 5th Corporations armed forces. I suspect you may need to add to this force very soon when the web exclusive model is announced!!!"

So then I started thinking about the other Exclusive model, the Archangel (Both models will be available at the Conventions and the "Secret Cyber" will also appear on the Webstore) will be included mission cards (It will also include its own cards for the resource deck), so why wouldnt this one include that to?

But back to the thoughts about the "Secret Cyber " since it is the Face of Cybertronic army list and they want to show the people their good side, protecting the people and upholding laws.
Why not enlist someones neighbour, your brother or your dad? Why not call in the people's volunteer?

What do you think guys? Am I dead wrong or could I actually be right?
