I present to you all, yet another BOYL 2017 photo dump.
This time it's the awesome Helsreach table put on by Curtis & Aidan. It was so damn big and impressive that one photo would not have even come close to doing it justice. So I took a shit load of pics from different angles instead. The majority of this post is photo's, but near the bottom I've got a bit more words....if your interested in that sort of thing. Enjoy :)
This is where I entered the game. The Hovertank was a static display, but my Walker went straight on the rampage. I spied an Ork buggy entering the outskirts of the township (bottom right) and ran towards him.
Once I had him in my sights I lit him up!
And trashed his vehicle, yeah!!!!!
Then he proceeded to run towards me.....
And climbed in a commenced slicing me up :(
That was the extent of my Helsreach game. Not because I didn't want to, but because there was so much else going on and I got caught up in the moment. Next time I'm gunna make sure that I don't leave this table.
After the Helsreach jetbike race had finished, but before the terrain was packed away, I took the opportunity to take a photo of Kulo & co. with the Walker. After all, I ain't never gunna have a better backdrop than this!
Chris, photobombing my shot. Damn youuuuuu!!!!!!!
So yeah, this was without a shadow of a doubt, THE best table I have ever seen and/or played on in my entire life! I can't thank Curtis & Aidan enough for all their hard work, making all the terrain, transporting it all and making it an extremely fun and memorable experience. And Curtis gave out a free mini of the Mayor too!
Cheers :)
Such an amazing table! I'm sad I didnt get a chance to play on it. Maybe next year. ;)
ReplyDeleteNext year huh? I'm hoping in another two, maybe 2019. I "think" Helsreach might be getting laid out again next year. I tried to convince Curtis that it was too good to just be played on once. So fingers crossed, you may get a go at playing on it.
DeleteLooks great! So many twonderful things on this table...superb!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was jammed packed, but very gameable at the same time. A tricky balancing act they managed to pull off.
DeleteCheer Phil :)
Thanks a lot for these great photos!
ReplyDeleteYour more than welcome Michal :)
DeleteThat truly is a hell of a table and it looks like it was a hell of a game. Nice to know Mutie the Pig got to actually play. :)
ReplyDeleteThat table was a thing of beauty. Couldn't wished for anything better. Mutie and co. didn't fair too well, but I loved playing nonetheless.
DeleteWow. I've seen quite a bunch of pics of this board on the blogs, but I keep on discovering new details and stuff. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour welcome Suber. The thing was so damn big it was impossible to take it all in. I couldn't believe how good it was, unreal!
DeleteWow. The table looks amazing. Thanks for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteHey Zinnling, happy you liked what I done showed :)
DeleteCan only imagine how amazing it was to see and play on this in person. The pics have me drooling as it is!
ReplyDeleteI was basically playing on a miniature Hollywood set. Nothing will ever come close to this for the rest of my gaming life. It was utterly amazing.
DeleteI hope these pics keep you drooling for many days to come :) Glad you like them Dai.
This is basically the table I dream of buying. The last photo, with the orks and the walker spilling out of the gates, is like Rogue Trader made flesh (well, plastic and lead). A great amount of work has obviously gone into it.
ReplyDeleteI was completely blown away with when I first walked into the marque and laid eyes on it. I agree too, If I could have this set up in my gaming room I'd never want to make a single piece of scenery again. I hope I get to play on it again in the future. I couldn't resist that last group shot, no backdrop of mine will ever come close.
DeleteHope my photodump brought a smile to your dial Toby :)
