Dawn & Gianna are holding their own Hobby Weekend over in the States where they are playing RuneWars and getting stuck into the game.
They are having a lot of fun and if you'd like to know more about their experiences with the game you can ask them in the comments below!
Come on UK release date.
Nice dice tower . Where is it from ?
It’s from Elderwood Academy. They make lovely things. 🙂
Is this a BoW event or just dawn and Gianna trying it out?
Just Dawn & Gianna having their own little bit of fun 🙂
Just us playing the game, following along with the boot camp from home 🙂
Way to go girlz! Show ’em how it’s done on this side of the pond! 😉
The tower looks great but I never really understand why people use something like that…
It’s mainly because it looks nice, but it does a nice job controling where the dice end up and not knocking over minis or terrain.
I agree and nice tower BTW Where did you get it?
Looks like so much fun. Like your playmat as well!
Thanks it is from Cigar Box Battle Mats
How similar is the maneuvering to X-Wing? I imagine part of the challenge is having to predict what your opponent will do.
Similar mechanic, I overshot with my Cavalry and had to spend a turn to reform, but luckily the are very manoeuvrable and I was able to move as well.
Wish I had met up with you both at Adepticon
Sorry we missed you.
Are those mini’s not in the same plastic? They look a different grey.
They’re the same. Must just be the lighting.
Awesome stuff you two, hope you are having a blast and wish you were here.
very cool!
nice to some over the pond action
since you’re playing the game already …how is it playing, is it as much fun as it looks like?
I really like it. The dials and templates do a great job streamlining game play and compliment strategy as you plan and anticipate each other’s moves.
glad to see more people get in on the action, even if they aren’t there in person.
good stuff, any chance of getting some game mechanics?
The whole team is getting in on the act, fab.
I really like this idea. Joining the hobby weekend from afar. If it hadn’t been a product that isn’t in retail yet, this is something the community could have joined in on. Maybe we could do something like this in the future. Give people a theme or a certain game (like Hordes or Wolsung or the likes), some kind of lower limit to how many minies etc. And the we could share pictures and chat on a thread in the forum. Obviously it wouldn’t be the same as being on a hobby bootcamp, and can’t really get a game in.… Read more »
oooh I love this! Great idea. Either solo or with a few friends round for a hobby/game weekend, and then we could use the forum, discord or somewhere on BoW to post hobby progress/gaming updates/questions as text/photos/videos etc. And the live blog on BoW could either be select highlights or ALL of these updates from those taking part (after curation/vetting!), or select highlights. Maybe with interviews via skype or something with those signed up for it. Could even take it further and people could pay to take part (similar to this boot camp) but starter packs could be posted to… Read more »
Well said! We were just taking about this. 🙂
I am loving the new Harry Potter themed photo!
The idea of joining in with the guys at the studio is really good. I just mentioned on the main forum that I wish we’d got a load of the goodies and were joining in all the fun. I think it works particularly well with a hobby style weekend like this one. I love the idea of starter packs being posted out to Beasties who have applied – that’s a great idea tchrin.
Great suggestion.
I always work best when my wargaming buddy is sitting around waiting for me to finish up painting the opposing force. Imagine having 100s of buddies cheering you on.
Small forces like painting Saga warbands, Warhammer Quest or Imperial Assault wold work.
Good job. I think it is great idea to join in from afar. It is easier to join in on a hobby weekend than on a boot camp (I think).
AWESOME
are you more hobbying or more playing the game? looks like the latter 😉
We started with gaming. After covering Adepticon last weekend, we were dying to actually play some games!
That’s awesome!
Glad to see you joining in, but I don’t see any paint on those miniatures.
Nice job ladies. As always.
Not fair they should ve painting too
I wish BoW would consider a remote Boot Camp, not just in Ireland…
I am also a long way from anybody and I think it would be great if we could do something as suggested, joining in remotely but being more physically involved. In the old days people used to play chess via post and set up a board in each side then move your apponents pieces via letters received. If there is a game that has some form of grid to be able to setup two smaller starter factions and then mimic the moves of your apponent via online messages or photos we could game “remotely”. Games that come to mind are… Read more »
