The battle that started out with all the advantages stacked in favour of Avalon due the players of the Ascendancy Larp game really getting behind and doing as much as they could to make sure they won.
However with 3 elements to the game, the General leading Avalon failed on 1 of them probably the most crucial to Larp world, while not to the battle itself, so Avalon won overall, I think they Larp game players may consider it a loss.
General Jonty returned in charge of Avalon, Jock took charge of the Undead or Forsaken as we call them, Sam took charge of Nightjar and making the Emperor look good while giving Jock and Jonty regular history lesson on why this or that was necessary, I was the newspaper reporter
and Andy did special effects.
It was big game using 4 tables in the Chimera shop, around 300 figures, 2/3 painted by me, and lasted about 5 hours, although I was at the shop for about 8 hours with setting up and packing away.
DaveP (the General at the previous 2 games) painted his own character figure, Dr Flay as the picture below, the paintings good but its the modelling he did to this figure which is only one inch (25mm) high which is excellent, you can't appreciate from this photograph, the original figure was a butler and had niether hat, cravat, glasses or watch from what I remember, perhaps Dave can elighten us with a quick reply.
A couple of figure of my own below which also required a bit of converting altough not to the extent of Dr Flay, Havelock needed a bit of hair, glasses and a cane thats about it.

Today Sunday is brilliant day after yesterday and last weekend, a nice warm sun, the bees are buzzing around the few flowers that have come in my garden, and what with the clocks going forward, spring feels like it here at last, definitely looking favourable for camping events, although anything can happen, and rain in spring is always likely, still it would have been a good day to camp today.
So now its on to my next project which I hope will be a bit of kit for the next event, its fairly simple so I should have the time to get my sewing machine out, we will see how my time goes.

Well, I started by sculpting the top hat and cravat out of miliput. Then, having looked at the figure a bit, realised that it needed a waistcoat, as the tail coat jacket was done up. In order to do this, I sculpted a new set of lapels onto the tailcoat, leaving the original as the waistcoat. The glasses were rather fiddly, and in order to not drive myself mad I omitted the jeweler's lens. The original figure was carrying an envelope in its left hand, so I took a craft knife and cut into it to turn it into a pair of discs, which were then painted to turn them into a pocket watch.
ReplyDeleteYou chickened out the Jewelers lens ;) still a lot more of an extensive remodel than I thought.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit that I wussed out on the jeweler's lens, but didn't think in the end that the effect was worth it, and would have had too many odd comments regarding having three eyes.
ReplyDeleteI did think about including some sort of technogubbins, but then I'd be expected to actually build some in game.
At least the figure is wearing a fair replica of my kit for the character, albeit the britches, socks and the waistcoat from before the 10 year gap.
I think its a very good model, hurrah Dave!
