Still just a day visitor, maybe one day I'll pluck up the courage to join in something.
There seemed to be more games running this time, and a greater variety too.
There was a lovely looking game of Man 'o War, a favourite of mine back in the 1980s.
I was particularly impressed by the islands and the seascape, and the fleets were very nicely painted.
I must get my copy out sometime.
The fleets assemble
The dwarf fleet, complete with aerial support
Chaos dwarves, with funnels to match their hats, and orcs
The Empire
There were also games of Heroquest, with a marvellous 3D board; Talisman 3rd Edition; Necromunda; Armagedon; Mordheim; Bomerz Over Da Sulpha River, and even a game of Hordes of the Things.
Necromunda, I think they were even using the original card terrain
Warhammer Fantasy Battles
Unsurprisingly, there were many games of Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Warhammer 40K.
Classic style Warhammer board just before the battle starts
High Elves vs Orcs and Goblins
This was even a game of second edition WFB (my favourite edition). A battle from the classic Tragedy of McDeath scenario pack
This table (previous two pictures) was great for playing 'spot the building'. There are versions of buildings from Orc's Drift and Terror of the Lichemaster. Even the Monastery of La Maisontaal.
The main marquee had two huge tables. One featured this awesome mega battle. There was an amazing mix of stuff, including whole regiments of repurposed Lord of the Rings minis, giants, Empire and allies and the fantastic airship
The other large table was shared by this ruined city, which I think was Praag? and the Bomberz game (the sandy coloured bit at the back)
Warhammer 40 000
There were nearly as many games of 40K going on, with a good mix of armies and styles of terrain. I missed getting photos of the great looking Tyranid terrain on one table.
I think this was a game using the original Rogue Trader rules, though it includes some more modern minis
Proper 40K spikey cacti
An impromptu game set up on one of the tables in the courtyard. Great Battlewagon.
There was more, but I didn't get pictures of everything. Apologies if I missed your game here, but I certainly enjoyed everything I saw.
Next time I'll show you what I got, along with some photos of the cabinets.
