Title: Twilight at Salute 2011
Post by: clam on April 16, 2011, 10:36:33 am
Mike will be talking pictures during the day, and I've offered him my services - posting them up here for everybody (not there) to see :)

And if others have pictures, feel free to post them here as well.


Setting up the table: A rather well-protected Empire trading caravan, that is :)

Gaming is on at the big table:

Last years table still looks interesting:

Just want to say thanks to you, Mike for sharing this experience and exciting day with us.

Now that it's all over, I'll hope you find the time and give us a little report from the happening - and wonder if there shouldn't be a few more pictures to share with us.

Have nice after party :D - and we'll be looking forward seeing you back.

Cheers!

Just got back from Salute, and it was such a blast I only remembered to take 1 picture, and that was an hour before opening in the queue outside!

I visited the Twilight table several times throughout the day and it always looked busy. It was extremely heartening to see Mike and co. doing well, and from what I heard people saying, there was a lot of enthusiasm for the game and figures. It'll be interesting to see how the 8ft by 4ft table will be topped next year.

It was a great day! Talked at/to lots of people who seemed interested. Hopefully a few of them will find their way here.
Very very tired now, but worth it.
Thanks again to everybody who helped, encouraged or bought stuff. Particular thanks go to Alan for his amazing board.

I'll look what proper photos I can find for you tomorrow. I might have to photograph all th wip stuff as well as I failed to photograph that bit of the stand!

Geckilians models do look very impressive in person  ;D

He's trying his best to convince himself that it'll never happen again, but I saw the slight glint in his eyes as we joked about plans for next year  ;)

Man that looks awesome! It's killing me that I did't get to see it in person.

We had some very nice looking herders on the table, so well done with those! I'll take some close ups of all the armies if I get a chance today  :)

Heh, I'm the blurry chap in the black shirt bending over the snowy demo table here in the pic!  ;D Does this mean internet fame at last? Hmm, no I didn't think so either...  :P

Well I didn't do a great job, so it doesn't look as good hi res

You've cleaned that up at repositioned it a bit I think? :)

Post by: Megatron0 on April 17, 2011, 09:09:08 pm
That is worthy to go into the rulebook IMO. The lighting and the image capture the theme of a caravan on a journey so well! Maybe a forum banner?
Bravo! Bravo

Well I didn't do a great job, so it doesn't look as good hi res


That kind of sad  :( - but yes would make an awesome banner then - and should really have a small logo added. May I use it one my blogger?


Title: Re: Twilight at Salute 2011

The games look awesome. Brandlin you should be well chuffed with how your board turned out.

Well, I nicked it - and used it for my twilight blog post the other day. Also used some of Mike's pictures. Did also ask him, but same silence ;)

So, do is do - but it's better asking for forgiveness than approval, right? :D


Title: Re: Twilight at Salute 2011
Post by: Carcharoth on April 26, 2011, 10:09:01 pm
I'm sure Ben will be glad to see his pic getting used.  :)

Feel free to use them. Hot linking should be fine, unless your blogs get 1000s of views a day

who/how made the tree on the round snow covered board?  looks great

Mikes handywork IIRC


Title: Re: Twilight at Salute 2011
Post by: Carcharoth on April 11, 2012, 01:39:05 pm
Yup, that would be my board - it was originally a summery board with an engineers house, but then got converted to a wintery scene in honour of the Delgon. The tree was crafted from wire and seafoam.
I'll have it at salute again this year :)

Really nice angles on those shots - good to see them again and hear they're seeing use for this year too :)
