You just KNOW you will be held to the Cheerleading bit ;)

I've got connections...

One thing that would be interesting, but may not be practical, is to see how the figures are actually made, i.e the casting process etc

I've been thinking about that, but I'm not sure on the Health & Safety aspect of bringing along a casting machine, depending on the venue we get.  I did wonder if some of the resin could be brought, and folk could 'cast their own' resin buildings?

We can definitely bring a couple of moulds along though, and maybe do a step-by-step guide of master sculpt through to the figure on your table.

How could I forget the parmo!  I haven't had one in a while, I wouldn't know who's doing the best ones now.

Clearly none of you have met a girl (if you can refer to them as such) from East Anglia...

Pointy head, webbed hands and feet :D

Stella or/and Parmo ?  ;D

I could do with a nice parmo, it's been a while.

Leon - WTF!!

How about some limited edition personality figures from popular ranges for attendees to buy. Any leftovers could then be taken to shows.

Looking forward to this as no plans for 2012 yet so should be able to attend.

Hi Leon

Let us know if this definately goes ahead as we have been using 10mm for our show demos for last decade - could probably rustle up enough people to run a couple of the games at the same time: Soudan, 1870, ACW, Marlborough, 7YW, 1866, WWI, Wars of the Roses, Boer War etc

Cheers

Great idea Leon, i'll definately pitch up.  I'll ask around at the club too, see if we can offer some support - even if its a few demo games!


Things that might be fun to see (all 10mm Pendraken focussed of course):


  • Open game tables
    Local club displays / demo games
    Armies on parade - perhaps a display of well painted Pendraken armies, maybe as a judged competition?  Perhaps individual or 'base' painting display/competititon too?
    Pendrakens display of its full range - painted.
    DungeonWorld exhibit (participation games?)
    Meet 'n greet with your scultors and painters (assuming they're safe be be let out of their cages?)  Maybe lectures/seminars on various aspects of 10mm gaming (sculpting/conversion, painting, terrain making, the benefits of the scale, the best rules to use etc.)?
    A 'totty' stand...ahem...perhaps not.
    A gaming competition or two (HotT/DBA, WMA, BkC/CwC/FwC)
    A trade stand obviously...
    Cat in the Hat special.
    A gathering of local clubs.
    Um...
