The World Of Twilight

It's less than two weeks until Salute!
It's always an exciting/chaotic time and the recent kickstarter hasn't diminished the chaos at all...

We've got a bunch of new releases to announce over the next few days that will be available at Salute! All going well I'll have the new expansion deck of cards, plus maybe a printed copy of the Traveller (see here  (http://www.worldoftwilight.com/forum/index.php?topic=2032.0)for a chance to influence the contents...).
As for new figures... I've got a big metal delivery due today and off the top of my head we should have:

• New trebarnii unit, with a boss, 4 warriors and a brute
• New engineer
• Dhogu shaman
• Single part dhogu spear unit
• Elder belan rider
• Unladen baruk
• Nobleguard with crossbow
• A tiny new pet for your noble

More details and pictures to follow!
Plus I will have a limited number of Casanii models - these will be available for kickstarter backers to get early if they contact me in advance and I might have a few spares as well.

So, who will be joining us?

ME!  ;D

Sorry, that was obvious, but I'm really here to quote mike from the traveller thread.....

On show - available at salute?

Sorry, I can't be there.
Will these new releases be available in the shop during Salute as well?

Ah yes, I knew I would forget something  ;D

those new models sound awesome. I can't wait to see them. I won't be at Salute, but if they're available online, then i'll be looking for them.   :D   ;)

I will be dropping by to say hi as usual  ;D

Some great sounding new releases....still trying to decide whether I "finally" pick up Roban and Striders.....

or "finally" clan Orel......

or Dhogu.......

 :o

Intrigued by the possibility of picking up my Casanii, would love to get some paint on them  :)

I'm there so would love to pick up my Casanii if poss
Cracking news all round..so much to look forward to

Lots of activity on the forum today - exciting times in Anyaral!  ;D

I will be at Salute with my son Tom.

I think I might be looking to pick up all of these new pieces. Also, a while ago you mentioned, that if I ask nicely,  I may be able to purchase a single Engu Garosa without having to purchase the whole warrior unit. Any chance of doing this at Salute? :-*

I would also like to pick up any of my Casanii pledge that is available.

Phil Wilkins

Incidentally, we had a Twilight game at the weekend. My Delgon started well, but eventually were comfortably defeated by Tom's Empire troops (ably supported by a Casanii scout)

Looking forward to meeting you all - new faces and old. Please do say hi and mention the forum - I'll do my best to make the right connections  :)


What is this "or" word you keep using....?  ;)

haha I will hopefully get everything at some point....... :o

With my newfound love of painting up the myriad of creatures, I am looking forward to seeing the "naked" Baruk :)

(on that note) I'm pretty sure I appear to have missed an alternate laden Enuk carrying fruit baskets at some point????   

 :D

He was subtly released a few years back... Possibly for the Kickstarter or even before that... I now sell the pair as a set. I can see if it would mess up stock to find you one on its own if you would like?

oooooh yes please mate  :)

I'll be there!
Helping out on the Konflict 47/Clockwork Goblin stand, but will definitely pop over for a World of Twilight fix when I get a moment.

Also might pick myself up a big beastie - any Dompaku still available for Salute? Or a Belan? Whichever is bigger - that's the one I want!

I won't be there personally, but I'll be sending my mate to pick me up the new Belan Rider and a couple of Laden Belan.  ;D

Mike you need to get some pics in this thread  8)

The Trebarnii and the Dhogu shaman are looking awesome!

I wasn't going to post pics of the herd until after the show,but I did so on Facebook without thinking, so I might as well add it to the forums too - couple of bits more to add, but it's getting there, nearly ready!

(http://hobbybrush.com/nondatabaseimages/twilight/IMG_1497.JPG)

Great pic dude!   

The herd looks awesome :)

Wow, thats quite some group shot. Very cohesive...shame I will miss them at Salute.

That herd looks brilliant - can't wait to see it in person at Salute!

Glorious

Some pictures (or at least I was going to post pictures, but my computer seems to be dying... I'll try and plug the gaps tomorrow unless anybody is feeling particularly helpful and would like to post the other images!)!
Preorders are also now open in the webstore   (http://worldoftwilight.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=24) :)
You can make preorders until Wednesday night.

Also, here are some ramblings from facebook:
Here are a few more of the new releases that I'll have at salute!
First, we have Belomoch tre Hearne (quite a mouthful I know...), a particularly eccentric young engineer from Teral. Some engineers will chance upon amazingly useful or world-changing creations, like Beru with his derak. Belomoch on the other hand is still looking for such a creation and has had little impact on the world so far (aside from burning down his crèche and leaving a few craters (and his left arm) around teral).
It's probably best not to ask what he's got in his mechanical hand...
(Belomoch was designed as a thank you for my friends, Ben and Louise, so they take a lot of the blame for him!)
(http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh269/Xrgut/Belomoch.jpg) (http://s258.photobucket.com/user/Xrgut/media/Belomoch.jpg.html)
Belomoch is accompanied by a crossbow wielding nobleguard. At the moment these are a very rare sight, but they are becoming more fashionable among the empire's wealthy and elite! I've got a few initial casts at the moment, so let me know if you think he should join the range.
(http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh269/Xrgut/Noble%20Crossbow.jpg) (http://s258.photobucket.com/user/Xrgut/media/Noble%20Crossbow.jpg.html)
Then there is the unladen baruk. These creatures have previously only been seen laden down with heavy bags of goods, so following some encouragement on the forum I thought it was time to give one a bit of time off to graze and relax.
Finally (for the moment) we have a new pet for the nobles. Preeprees are great for the noble about court, but there are obvious hazards with taking such a valuable and fragile pet outside your mansion. The alideku are an obvious alternative choice if your noble wishes to take a stroll through the country without a retinue of vets and preepree handlers. Alideku are still entirely useless for hunting or protecting, but purebred lines are still suitably expensive to act as an indicator of ludicrous wealth.
A few alideku will be residing in this year's freebie box

The shaman was sculpted by Mark Craggs and will probably become a named character for the dhogu. He's a master at commanding beasts and his followers believe he can even control the weather.
I've also put together a unit of single piece dhogu. They aren't quite as flexible as the multipart ones, but they are a lot easier to work with! It also allows me to increase the number of models in the unit. I've taken the opportunity to sculpt extra bags and little packs onto the models so every model in the unit is unique.
Due to me being disorganised I seem to have a bit of a stock shortage on the old dhogu, so I will only have a handful of starter forces and no individual yirnak riders or bows... Sorry!

The Casanii are amazing!!! What fun!

I like the new sculps too. A few of the pics aren't coming through on my device but as regards the crossbowman, personally I love the idea of including him in the range.

Strange...
Yesterday night the pics were OK...

Here are direct links from facebook but the images are... big ;D

Love the Dhogu Shaman and the unit. Full of character.
Definitely make the Noble with crossbow part of the main range.

these look great. the Alideku is adorable.  very nice to be able to put the baruk in the herd and I second adding the new noble guard with the crossbow.   :)   :)

So, so many amazing new releases, ...
The shaman makes me want to collect the Dhogu (a faction I was trying to avoid so far), the steampunk flair on the engineer is wonderful and the rest made my mouth water as well.
What is the alideku though? He looks a bit like another pampered pet for the nobles.

Paul, that is a great groupshot and I like the herd and dompaku a lot.

Aaaaaand the Belan rider !!!

Neeeeeeeed ^^

Oh yea! Can see all the pics now. They all look great!  I love all the little creatures too like the alideku.

Thanks for the help with the pictures!
The alideku is indeed another pampered pet. I should come up with a scenario for using them...

I was thinking the same thing! A scenario involving the two. This may not be what you had in mind but it would go like this;

He looks comfy...and slightly drunk (I think its just the inking) :D

 But surely then you'd want a section of noble guard, with the primary directive of PriPri protection....

Oh wait.....  ;D

(http://hobbybrush.com/nondatabaseimages/twilight/IMG_1500.JPG)

Lovely stuff..very Greco Dino

Loving the heraldry!
Great little scenario idea... I'm not sure of the stars for an enraged alideku though...

Haha, I love both the scenario and the heraldry.

Hi Mike
Can I pay via credit card on Saturday?
Cheers
Kev

Finishing off packing up... Getting tired now!

We don't have credit card facilities I'm afraid. Sorry! We could figure out a way to do PayPal. Or there are cash points. :)

Ok Mike
Sort something when I see you

Got some birthday money today so should be able to grab some of the stuff I want tomorrow now!  :)

Have a good show !

Woohoo! Arrived yesterday and got most things set-up, so this morning shouldn't be too frantic (aside from bagging a bunch of lorantis that arrived yesterday...). Looking forward to today!

Have fun guys!!!!

Beasts of war is doing live blogs of salute. Check this out;

http://www.beastsofwar.com/liveblogentry/world-of-twilight-at-salute-2016-win-a-prize/ (http://www.beastsofwar.com/liveblogentry/world-of-twilight-at-salute-2016-win-a-prize/)

I see Amy and myself have a little walk through in the background, great that the game got featured.

I've no braved watching the video just yet...

Had a great day! Completely shattered now, but it's always worth it  :)

That's a nice interview, I hope it gives the game a lot more exposure.
How was Salute btw?

The stand was rammed pretty all day as far as I saw.The guys needed every one of their helpers and there were lots of them but they did a sterling job.Their set up is top notch with all the figures set out,numerous price lists and catalogues for all to peruse,all the minis painted next to the demo table and help always on hand....very impressive
I hope they sold loads

It's amazing to see the growth that this game has had in just a few years!

Especially for those of us that have been there since the beginning of the ride  8)

It was a great show. Slightly different location to previously, but still close to the entrance.
We were certainly kept busy and the games looked to have some great participants.
Looking forward to seeing what everybody comes up with now - sounds like we might be seeing some more painted figures and projects here over the next month or two  ;D

I was the one playing the game whilst you were giving the interview, had i known who you were would have said hi!  the "bug hunt" scenerio was a great hook to get people interested in the game.  I wish I'd made it back for the big game hunt, but forgot to ask what time it started...  >:(

To be honest, you probably did better getting in on the bug hunts - the big game hunt ended up somewhat over subscribed to start with and a little chaotic.

I've only just noticed myself, I think the video actually captures the moment tiredness got the better of me - right as I completely missed that possible combat and cleared stones away before resolving it  :-[ :-\

haha it looks like it! you did seem quite tired at that point, I imagine running something like that takes it out of you!

Thanks for running it though, was really fun!  ;D

Mike.....

remember at Salute we were wondering if I'd asked you for something but we couldn't work out what.......I've just remembered it was the second laden enuk with the fruit baskets!   ::)

I've also just realised there is a second laden baruk too!  lol

Seven good pictures from Salute 2016 posted on a German blog.
