Title: The Convention Day 2015, France Post by: Letchaï on June 15, 2015, 08:05:12 pm Last saturday took place the 7th edition of the Convention Day, the show organised by my wargaming club, in the north of France.
The opportunity for me to present World of Twilight to the visitors, with my friend Lixa (he will soon present here his colourful devanu !). On all the day, we made 5 or 6 complete games, with forces of about 300 points, Empire vs Devanu. Lixa and I have also made games to try profiles and scenarios, and we discovered again many things about the game ! Every player was quite satisfied of the gaming system, or the very original miniatures. The printed leaflets were quite useful, as many have been carried away :) I made also a french translation of the rules to simplify the demos. The only default, according to the testers, was the quantity of abilities of the models, which are difficult to remember. But here are the photos ! The demo table: (http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/729717IMGP2684.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=729717IMGP2684.jpg) (http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/757709IMGP2692.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=757709IMGP2692.jpg) The presentation board: (http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/619921IMGP2685.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=619921IMGP2685.jpg) The printed stuff, available to the public: (http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/337914IMGP2686.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=337914IMGP2686.jpg) My models: (http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/554861IMGP2688.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=554861IMGP2688.jpg) Lixa's models: a risky bet for the scheme, but it works !

As well as beautifully painted miniatures.
I have the feeling your table looked the most cosy of them all. While not as impressive as other tables it would sure have drawn me to it. Your friend's Devanu sure look unique and well painted, ... and very colourful indeed! :) Thank you for the tour and outstanding pictures! Title: Re: The Convention Day 2015, France Post by: TuffSkull on June 16, 2015, 06:47:23 am Looks like a great little show with a very high quality of games on display & you did a great job with yours, especially with all the exa translation work - bravo!
Title: Re: The Convention Day 2015, France Post by: Crucium Giger on June 16, 2015, 10:12:26 am Looks like a good show but for me the Devanu were the stand outs, fantastic paint scheme.

Totally agreed !I have the feeling your table looked the most cosy of them all. While not as impressive as other tables it would sure have drawn me to it. Your friend's Devanu sure look unique and well painted, ... and very colourful indeed! :) Between the translations and painting minis, i missed time to do a more specific table, with more relief and "twilight" sceneries. I had to use my generic sceneries, usually used for warhammer or alkemy. Plus the ingeneer's cottage of course :) We'll do better next year ! Lixa would soon show his amazing Devanu ;) Title: Re: The Convention Day 2015, France Post by: Carcharoth on June 16, 2015, 11:38:09 am Looks like you did a great job! If you keep up the good work I'll have to arrange a french portion of the forum for you :)
It'll be fun to see more of Lixa's Devanu - not standard colours by any means, but they look good and certainly stand out! Esprit's Dhogu also work really well - I love the very pale skerrat. Hopefully you can convince him to join as well. Your devanu do of course look excellent. It'll be great if you have a bit more time to do a bespoke board next year. The standard of demo games at your show is certainly high!

Lixa would soon show his amazing Devanu ;) I'm a bit surprised Alkemy is still so popular in France since Kraken went bankrupt many years ago. I still have a lot of the miniatures and a French book laying around too though. Perhaps I'll start painting them when the Kickstarter is released. I look forward to see a totally Twilight themed table though. Perhaps you can make a first start with the scenery contest :). Title: Re: The Convention Day 2015, France Post by: GrimSnik on June 17, 2015, 02:56:56 am nice job. :) I really like the close up pictures of the militia against the Devanu. and the special rules can be a little daunting until one gets a few games under their belt, so I picked up an extra reference sheet so each player can have one to glance at to become familiar with them during the game.
what is the game in your photos that uses the street layout and the mad max style cars? |
