UMS "Agram" : SUNHOLD: The First Triumvirate – Report < Articles < Hobby

SUNHOLD: The First Triumvirate – Report

Marko Paunović, 6th July 2022

Sunhold:The First Triumvirate is an AoS28 event game that was held on July 2 2022 in UMS "Agram", Zagreb, Croatia.

The event that was scheduled for summer 2020, after two years of postponements due to the pandemic, finally took place as a part of our traditional Agram Arena Summer.

James (UK): „Sunhold was a fantastic experience, and definitely worth the wait. Painting a warband and seeing everyone else’s models and terrain was a sight to behold, and made me proud to be part of the “AoS28” community. Thank you to the organisers for a great set of games in a superb venue. Hope to see you all again soon!“

As with all our events the day started with setting up the venue. Putting up the banners, connecting the laptop to the overhead projector, setting up the photo area and most importantly setting up the terrain for the game before the players arrive.

The story of The First Triumvirate takes place in a territory freshly liberated from occupation by Chaos. The huge and mighty Stormhost is gone to fight somewhere else, and people are working on resettling the area: rebuilding, repopulating, starting new kingdoms on ruins of old. A small contingent of Stormcast Eternals remains to coordinate and lead these efforts. Although armies of Chaos are gone, these lands are not fully safe yet. Wild beasts, the undead and small groups of servants of Chaos are still roaming about. Each city-state and country are painstakingly reclaimed for mankind, and the execution of this effort is organized as a series of reclamation projects. Sunhold is a sprawling ruined city surrounded by plains,forests and marshes. The events of our game took place within Sunhold.

Each player took command of a small warband, representing groups that entered the city to fulfil their individual goals. They may be a part of the reclamation project and want to exterminate enemies of humanity to make the city once more habitable, or they may be a party of adventurers or bandits who wish to loot the ruins and fill their own pockets. The warbands may make alliances and collaborate, or betray and eliminate each other on their path through the ruins.

Goran: "The event overall was very nice, people really did a great job on their warbands. I endeavoured to get into the character of my warband's leader and his accompanying jester, which looked to have a positive effect on everyone's enjoyment of the game. The terrain and narrative, as well as the rules seemed a great fit for such a roleplaying/dungeon crawling experience. Overall, Ivan and Ana did an outstandingly good job preparing the story, characters, rules and terrain, and it would have been a shame not to enjoy the fruits of such an effort."

Witold (Pol): "From the modelling side of things, I was surprised how much fun it is to use Perry, North Star, and Wargames Atlantic miniatures to make a converted adventuring party, and not using anything by Games Workshop for a change. Great proportions, low level of detail that lets me focus on what is really important... They look very human (or very spider, in case of a few models of mine), grounded and subtle. I may want to make a whole army of these, now."

UMS Agram has a tradition of awarding the best painted models/armies at our events, a chance we could not miss at this visually stunning event. In the end the award went to Vladimir Matić-Kuriljov from Serbia for his hand sculpted dwarf warband

Vladimir: "It is always an honor to be invited to a game organized by Ana Polanšćak. Her dedication drives me to do not just my best, but to push beyond what I thought were my limits, and so it was this time around. Even though I started gaming with miniatures I sculpted myself, it took me years and years to gather the confidence to do so again."

Before the gallery of the miniatures used, UMS Agram would like to thank Ana and Ivan Polanšćak for organizing and running the event. Also we would like to thank our guests from France, UK, Poland and Serbia (Seraphim Soupizet, James Stone, Witold Krawczyk and Vladimir) as well as Cody Taylor and Matt Ross from USA and Simon Schießl from Germany who were kind enough to make and send their models especially for the event. A big shoutout to Nicolas Evans of UK who made the Sunhold logo pins for the event!

	I will use this article to describe the process of drawing a Roman shield for 54mm miniatures. I won’t be going into the process of painting the basic colours of the shield, just concentrating rather on the freehand itself.

	  

	I found the design that I liked on the internet. I planned to recreate that design with minor changes. The first step was to draw the basic shape with a graphite pen.

	  

	Then, using a darkest shade follow the lines drawn by pen to make the basic shapes. Once, done, fill those shapes with the same paint.

	  

	Check your reference and correct if need be.

	  

	Afterwards, using the ligher shade begin drawing smaller shapes within the darker areas to get the contours of your design.

	  

	Start by drawing the simplest shapes so your hand picks up the motions subconsciously finish with the more complex (wings). Watch out that your shapes (wings for instance) have the same number of elements (feathers).

	  

	Next layer was the first highlight. Similar to the previous step, start drawing the simplest shapes.

	  

	When you finish with this step, check if you are happy with the depth of your freehand. I wasn’t so I continued with the work.

	  

	Using a wash, I added further shadows simulating and accentuating the curvature of the shield.

	  

	In the end, I added the final highlights.

	U ovom ću članku ukratko opisati proces kojim sam iscrtao rimski štit u 54mm mjerilu. Ovdje neću objašnjavati bojanje same crvene površine štita, već samo kako sam izradio freehand.

	  

	Na internetu sam pronašao dizajn koji mi se svidio i kojeg ću uz manje modifikacije pokušati replicirati. Prvi korak je bio iscrtavanje osnovnih oblika običnom olovkom.

	  

	Zatim, najtamnijom bojom prateći linije iscrtane olovkom nacrtajte osnovne oblike te potom popunite bojom oblike.

	  

	Pogledajte vaš dizajn i prema potrebi korigirajte oblik.

	  

	Potom, svjetlijom nijansom krenite iscrtavati manje oblike unutar tamnijih ploha kako biste dodali obrise vašeg dizajna.

	  

	Krenite sa jednostavnijim oblicima i kad vam iscrtavanje “uđe” u ruku, završite sa složenijim (krila). Pri tome, pazite da imate jednak broj elemenata (npr. Pera) po svakom obliku (krilu).

	  

	Sljedeći sloj je prvi highlight. Slično kao i u prethodnom koraku, krenite sa iscrtavanjem sa jednostavnijim oblicima.

	  

	Kad završite, provjerite da li ste zadovoljni sa “dubinom” vašeg freehanda. Ja nisam bio sasvim pa sam nastavio sa radom.

	  

	Koristeći wash, dodao sam dodatne sjene – simulirajući i naglašavajući zakrivljenost površine štita.

	  

	I na kraju sam dodao završne highlighte.

How to pin a bust

	In this text I will describe the process of pinning a bust to a wooden plinth

	

	You will need: sanding paper, pin, pen, ruler, pin vice (or electric drill), clippers and superglue.

	

	Sand the bottom of the bust to get an even surface

	

	Mark the two spots for pinning on the bottom of the bust. (Two pins make it easier to center the bust on the plinth)

	

	Drill the two holes in the bust (use a pin vice or an electric drill)

	

	Place the pins and glue them with superglue.

	

	Repeat the process on the plinth - first marking then drilling the two holes for the pins.

	

	Before placing the bust, dry fit the pins.

	

	Glue the bust.

	U ovom ću članku opisati kako pričvrstiti bistu na drveno postolje.

	

	Za to će vam biti potrebno: šmirgl papir, spajalica, olovka, metar, buštilica, kliješta i superljepilo. 

	

	Pošmirglajte donju površinu biste.

	

	Označite dva mjesta za postavljanje zatika (pina). Spajanje preko dva zatika olakšava centriranje biste na bazu.

	

	Bušilicom izbušite dvije rupe.

	

	Postavite zatike i zalijepite ih.

	

	Ponovite proces i na drvenoj bazi, prvo označite mjesta, zatim ih izbušite.

	

	Prije postavljanja biste na bazu, provjerite da sve odgovara.

	

	Zalijepite bistu na drveno postolje.

	We continue preparations for our traditional Agram Arena Summer - TURM2024 with demo games of Forbidden Psalm, the game that will be played in July at the Arena. In this game, our Ana, the organizer of TURM, sets up a game for Seb and Domagoj, and this time she lets them pick their own crews!

	

	Another game at Ana's, but this time Seb and I didn't play with premade warbands... we chose minis and did the whole warband creation process! The scenario we played was setting up mortsafes and looting tombs. I was extremely lucky with my magician and found 3 treasures in the first tomb, one of which was a relic.

	

	Seb had a little less luck with the treasure, which got him into trouble with the skeletons. As I started the game with a few lucky rolls, I decided to invest in positive karma and help him with the mobs. At the end of the third move, Corpse Collector appeared, a large monster that we decided to defeat with joint forces.

	

	To slow his progress, I summoned a Skeletal Warrior, an affiliated gang member, behind his back. Karma paid off because my gang member, Vid, defeated the Collector with a lucky mace hit and earned another relic!

	

	

	

	

	

	

	I think we've mastered the rules and independent play quite well, and I'm looking forward to Turm!

	Nastavljamo sa pripremama za našu tradicionalnu Agram Arenu Summer – TURM2024 demo partijama Forbidden Psalma, igre koja će se igrati u srpnju na Areni. U ovoj partiji, naša Ana, organizatorica TURMa, organizira partiju za Seba i Domagoja, ali ih prepušta same sebima i pri izboru svojih vojski!

	

	Jos jedan game kod Ane, ali ovaj put Seb i ja nismo igrali s premade warbandama… odabrali smo minije i odradili cijeli warband creation proces! Scenario koji smo igrali je postavljanje mortsafeova i pljackanje grobnica. Imao sam izuzetne srece sa svojim madjionicarem i u prvoj grobnici nasao 3 blaga, od kojih je jedno bila relikvija.

	

	Seb je imao nesto manje srece sa blagom, sto ga je dovelo u nevolju s kosturima. Kako sam igru krenuo s nekoliko sretnih rollova, odlucio sam se investirati u pozitivnu karmu i pomoci mu oko mobova. Na kraju treceg poteza pojavio se Corpse Collector, veliko cudoviste koje smo odlucili savladati zajednickim snagama.

	

	Kako bi usporio njegov napredak, iza ledja sam mu prizvao Skeletalnog ratnika, pridruzenog clana bande. Karma se isplatila jer je clan moje bande, Vid, sretnim pogotkom buzdovana savladao Collectora i zaradio jos jednu relikviju! 

	

	

	

	

	

	

	Mislim da smo poprilicno dobro savladali pravila i samostalnu igru, i veselim se Turmu!
