Wolsung Boot Camp Live Blog – Friday
We're kicking off the Wolsung Boot Camp alongside Micro Art Studio today as our intrepid Steampunk fans get stuck into their hobby and start building their factions to be ready for skirmishes over the days to come.
Follow us throughout the weekend and comment on the Live Blog posts every day as we'll pick a winner from the comments of each day's blog and announce the winners on a future Weekender which airs on Saturday mornings.
Make sure to stick with us for all the awesomeness of the Boot Camp and learn more about the world of Wolsung too.

Wolsung Boot Camp Bundles & Deal
It's going to be quite the weekend so stay tuned!
Which of the factions has taken your fancy?
Blogging At This Event:
Demo Games Getting Underway!
Justin Catches up with Martin and Lukasz as they are starting to get into some demo games already. No waiting around here!
You'll be learning lots more about the mechanics of the game over the coming days along with us and we'll hopefully be back with Martin and some point soon so we can find out how he feels as he understands more of the game mechanics.
Gerry & Gaz Getting Stuck In!
You know how we cracked open that set of Gerry's? Well, turns out he wasn't happy that we hadn't actually built and painted his miniatures for him...oops.
As well as that Gaz is getting stuck into his painting already, he's a proper machine!
What Is Wolsung? Talking Background With Lukasz
We sit down with Lukasz from Micro Art Studio to talk about the world of Wolsung and what you can expect when you sit down to play games in this awesome Steampunk world.
With a little bit of background under your belt, we hope you'll enjoy getting more stuck into the factions and the game itself over the days to come.
Meet Wolsung's Ash & Oak Faction
Continuing our exploration of the world of Wolsung we sit down with Lukasz once again and delve into The Ash & Oak faction.
Could this lot be for you or do you have your eyes on another faction? Keep a watch out for more videos like this throughout the weekend!
Quick Painting With Bob Talking Scylla & Alven Yard
Justin sits down with Bob to talk about some of the hobby opportunities afforded by picking up both the Scylla and The Alven Yard as his factions of choice.
How would you approach painting these factions when it came to these factions?
It's Cops & Robbers Time With Tim
We find out a bit about the Cops & Robbers that Tim has managed to pick up. So, with that in mind dive into this chat as we find out why he chose these factions.
Which factions would you rather go for, or do the Scylla & Alven Yard tickle your fancy?
Liam Is Killing Off Peter's Steampunky Vampires, A Ven Rier Beating!
We stop in mid-game with Liam and Peter to find out how their game is going. It looks like things are going badly for the undead in this case...maybe they came in contact with too much garlic?
Needless to say, maybe these guys need some tactical chatter ahead of the scenarios tomorrow. They are having oodles of fun though which is great!
End Of Day One - It's Time For The Pub!
It's time for the Boot Campers to get their stuff together and get to the real business...of having a nice drink in the pub!
No, we'll be back for more Wolsung tomorrow with some epic gaming scenarios to play and much more besides. Remember to get your comments in below to be in with a chance of winning yourself some goodies!
I was surprised to see this appear in my notifications this early!
Not complaining though. As i sit here over the weekend knee deep in paperwork, the fun everyone else is having will keep me going!
And we are off. Looking forward to this.
Strapped in and ready to go – intrigued by this game but haven’t looked closely yet. It’s time!
Dammit. I knew I should have signed up for this months back… I forgot what game the bootcamp was going to be, especially when my birthday is this weekend. Would have been fun. 😛
Maybe the next one for me. I WILL MAKE A TRIP ONE DAY!
In other news, Az… You might want to cool it on the Roman salutes. Lolol.
I was looking for my blimp for like 5 seconds of film! I blame bad editing 😛
Az
Good stuff guys! I’m looking forward to seeing how the weekend goes and how the game plays. I’ll be honest it’s something I’ve not looked at previously, maybe you’ll sell me on another one!!
I have to admit that I almost signed up for this but ended up buying a house instead so good and bad 🙂
I know how you feel. I used to attend Gen Con, then I bought a house.
Thankfully we can live vicariously via the Live Blog.
Really looking forward to this one!!
Wow! The pictures from the “Lights, Camera, Table Action! ” post are amazing!
Pretty cool right? Shows off the cinematic style of the game pretty well!
As an avid Steam Punk fan of board and video games, Wolsung has hit a home run on capturing the theme and artwork of what I wished for. Great Job guys!
Wolsung Boot Camp Weekend? Totally missed that one! Great time to dig out my Scylla Starter and the Zitrone Dime car I own and finally start painting them!
I’m with you in spirit!
So jealous but my eldest turns 18 and this is not to be missed..
Have fun!! I will tune in regularly to see what you’re up to!!!!
I am always a fan of free models ;P especially if they are steampunk oriented, or at least fun to paint/build!
Exciting times, ahoy.
Nooooo boot camps……beyond my desire to actually go to one….half the time I end up enjoying reading about the event that I end up buying into the minis game!
And Wolsung is one that has had my attention for awhile, love the mafia Halflings.
Fun game, hoping to see some new stuff.
I wonder if anyone going to go feral this weekend. well boys time for some hunting
This one really had me wanting to hop a plane over from the states and meet everyone, I love this game.
Looks really interesting. I’m already a fan of the models.
Want to look into this in more detail. Now seems as good a time as any!
Have a good one!
I feel the world needs more monowheels. Here I am with my four wheel cars and thinking how uncool they are compared to monowheels.
Been wanting to dip my feet into Wolsung, maybe this bootcamp week will get me motivated to try it out
I think I am going to officially add “Attending a Beasts of War Boot Camp” to my Bucket-list. I wanted to go to the Dropfleet one, the FoW ones, the Bolt Action ones, the Walking Dead ones… and now… this one. Definately updating my Bucket-list this weekend. Have fun all. 🙂
Thanks to everyone in-front and behind the cameras for taking time away from the fun to keep us unfortunate to not make it filled in on the fun.
This lovely game seduced me to take part in my first Kickstarter….and I went in quite deep…and loving all of it!!! Just the many KS that came afterwards where a side effekt I did not acount for 🙂
This is going to be an interesting weekend, I know absolutely nothing about Wolsung.
My thoughts exactly julianb. I’m going to watch the videos tonight.
From what I’ve seen in the past it’s a fun little game. Now I need to catch up on the latest additions to it.
