Donation from Antenociti's Workshop to the Nexus Club

Antenociti's Workshop donated a big box of futuristic scenery for the use of Nexus Club. These are supposedly miscasts, but if that is true, they have very strict quality control, as they look flawless to me. We are grateful for these gifts, we will make good use of them in our sci-fi games!

Chaos Dwarves from Games Workshop, from the Warhammer range range

Aradi Gábor gave the Nexus Club a nice scratch-built hut, and some Games Workshop miniatures from his collection. The Skaven ratman and the Chaos Dwarves from the Warhammer range range will be a nice addition to our growing armies! The Skaven are older sculpts, a lot more cute than the recent, vile ones, so they can be used as humanoid mice too, for more child-friendly games. The miniatures came painted, and they look lovely! Thank you very much, we will put them to good use!

Bukta "Vihar" Zoltán sent the Nexus Club a copy of the Hungarian version of the Descent boardgame. Although most of the miniatures are missing, these can be substituted from the collection of the club. He even painted the heroes for us! Thank you very much for the donation, we've been looking for this game for a long time!

Richard Blizzard was kind enough to give an Eldar gravtank and a scenery piece to the Nexus Club. This is our first Eldar vehicle, so I'll try to gather some Eldar minis to use with it! Although it's missing its tower and the cockpit window, I'll come up with something to make it whole. Thank you very much for this gift!

Seri Ákos Tamás offered Nexus Club a huge collection of 1/72 scale WW2 miniatures. These will give squads for both Axis and Allies to play with! Thank you very much for this donation!

Donation from the Victory Makett shop to the Nexus Club

The Victory Makett (Victory Makett webstore) modelling shop donated this lovely set of Space Marine for the Nexus Club. We express our gratitude to Sándor Borsi, who offered these miniatures from his own collection for the use of the community of our club. The needs of the Imperial players will be satisfied for a long time!

The Nexus Club visited Games Day Budapest 2016 to do demonstrations of sci-fi wargames. In cooperation with The Forge Club, Scenery World Workshop commission terrain maker studio, and Nagy Péter (Petrow) from Keszthely, we brought demos of Alien vs Predator, Deadzone and DreadBall. There were dozens of other wargames and boardgames demos all around the area. The Golden Gobbo painting competition was also held here. Several gaming stores had a stand here with reduced prices, and there was a bits market for miniature collectors.

The Makettfesztivál Miskolc 2016 (Model Festival 2016) miniatures convention was held on 2016.01.30-31, in Miskolc. The Makettfesztivál Miskolc, built around the Győzelem Pajzsa (Shield of Victory) modeling competition, is an annual modeling hobby event, organised by the Miskolci Makettezők Egyesülete (Modelers Association of Miskolc). An event coverage was written by Kadmon.

The Nexus Club took part in the Makettfesztivál on both days, working closely with The Forge wargaming club. Sarkadi Sándor came from Debrecen to do a demonstration of the Kings of War, a fantasy tactical game from Mantic Games. For this event, wargaming boards were made by Kelemen Gábor and by the Scenery World Workshop.

Playing Deadzone Ed2 on Games Day Budapest 2016 - Imperial Space Gameplay narrative

Article updated: 2016.12.29

On the Games Day Budapest 2016 I was invited by Nagy Péter (Petrow) to play a game of Deadzone Ed2 with him. Even though we have played a Deadzone game, to continue the story that started in the previous Afterlife gameplay narrative, I will include elements of the Forlorn Stars (Imperial Space) setting. I try to recount the events that occured on that day.

Playing Deadzone Ed2 in The Forge Club (2016.12.28) - Imperial Space Gameplay narrative

Article updated: 2016.12.30

There was a club gathering at The Forge Club on 2016.12.28, where I organised a Deadzone Ed2 demo. After a quick warm-up game, there was an interesting battle between Fedák Zsombor and his friend, two youngsters who never played Deadzone before, but they were eager to try it. This is a retelling of the events that happened. To fit with the previous gameplay narratives, I set the story in the universe of the Forlorn Stars (Imperial Space) setting.

I played a game of Afterlife  Ed1 v1.3 with Tóth Dániel (Grosh) on Games Day Budapest 2016. This is the account of the events that occured there.

The game was played for an Ellenor Renard miniature as a prize, so we have created a story around that during the convention. As I'm still unfamilar with the Afterlife universe, I'm writing the narrative incorporating the elements of the Forlorn Stars (Imperial Space) setting. The Unity Council forces became the Imperial army, Ellenor became Doctor Daniele Thomassen, a field medic, the Marine Corps became Imperial Marines, the Ajax Exo-suits became Imperial Knights, and the Pan Continental Republic forces became the soldiers of the local militia.

On the Games Day Budapest 2016 I had the opportunity to try Afterlife, a futuristic wargame from Anvil Industry. Lehoczky Tamás (Zirrian) and Tóth Dániel (Grosh), members of The Forge Club, painted their squads to top quality, and did game demos all day long during the convention. They used the beautiful lava boards created by the Scenery World Workshop. Every player who participated in a demo game received a wonderful Kickstarter exclusive female swordsman, Ellenor Renard.

I played a game with Tóth Dániel (Grosh), so I decided to share my experiences.
