UMS "Agram" : TURM 2024 Reprot < Articles < Hobby

TURM 2024 Reprot

Domagoj Krpan, 16th July 2024

This year I had the opportunity to participate in the now legendary events organized by Ana Polanšćak as part of UMS "Agram". This was the second year in a row that the Forbidden Psalm rules were played and I must admit that the event, as well as the accompanying activities, delighted me! If you want to know why…

…then keep reading! If Turm were to divide the impressions into highlights, he would definitely divide them into my perspective as a member of the agram, the hobby part, the gaming part, and finally, the social part. Let's start with the phase that lasted the longest, and tell how I participated and what experiences I had as a resident of Agram helping with the event.

The event itself lasted one day, Saturday 06.07., but if you followed our posts and articles, you could have noticed that the preparations started much earlier. Our elders Ana and Marko dealt with these more serious parts of event organization, logistics, setting up the discord server, while I tried to support as much as I could via Instagram. One of the things that delighted me was to see how colorful and creative the hobby community is. During the week of the event itself, I helped with transportation - most of the players were foreigners and I offered to help them navigate through the city (Noe was a great companion). At the event itself, I helped with the logistics of transporting the terrain (of course, when it was most stressful, at the event itself, I was late with the delivery of the terrain), and with preparing the space and taking things away after the event. It was interesting for me to see how many activities had to be organized in parallel, from taking pictures of miniatures during the event, organizing food and drinks, and organizing the content of the other days. After the event itself, I drove the pitches to Ana, where we inspected them and Ana quickly repaired all the damage we found. All in all, I think that it is quite a good experience from the event organization side and that, if someone wants to pay attention, everything can be learned.

The hobby part lasted a little shorter than the organizational part, but for me it was a much more intense and direct experience. Kitbashing and conversions are my favorite part of the hobby, and due to the lack of free time, the thing that helped me the most to finish what I started was... Deadlines! I know, I know, everyone hates deadlines, but it helped me a lot with wrapping conversions, painting warbands, and general preparation for the event to have deadlines and some kind of commitment to people I know. You can see parts of the stories about my kitbash adventure on the articles fishfolk warband and simple conversion, and for my part, finishing and placing the finished miniatures on the table was a pleasure that I lacked for a long time. I got an additional boost in online communication with other players, I was delighted by their creativity and general positivity. People really encouraged each other in their work and because of that I could approach the deadlines with a smile on my face! The only thing I'm hoping for now is to use that positive energy for further projects and not lose momentum when it's already started so well - practice makes perfect and it's exactly that practice that I miss!

Gaming ends up being the smallest part of the experience in those few days - even if it was the reason we got together. I don't see it as anything bad, in fact, I'm very glad that even on Turm itself, the social aspect somehow dominated, and that the game was a game, and not a reason for people to break spears. I had three great games - the first with Marcello from neighboring Italy, the second with Vlad from Serbia and finally Noah from France - which gave me a very good regional experience. We had great moments in every game - I'll share more details about my experience as a player at another time. The scenarios and content prepared by Ana were excellent, with the exception that not everyone discovered all the surprises. Now with quite a few games of Psalms behind us, I'm glad that our local Agram team said they would continue playing, because I have a feeling they could get hours and hours of fun out of it.

Sebastian (Norway): “The Turm 2024 tournament was a blast! The few games Ana had hosted at her place beforehand turned out to be really helpful in knowing how to create a good warband. I had a dedicated looter who gathered me a lot of good gold, meaning I could upgrade my equipment significantly, and by the last game the warband was powered up with several heavy armors D10 swords, and a few relics. So Patrik's warband in this last game, got decimated by a few of my strongest warriors. But in a perfect twist ending, his last remaining member, his archer, who had been spending the game shooting from on top of a building, jumped down from the building, picked up the Baby Sphinx from one of his dead warband members, and ended up winning the game (and keeping the Baby Sphinx in his inventory!), as that was the winning condition. Very fun game, and lots of great people gathered for this event. An absolute blast in bits trading, painting sessions, games, beers and overall nerddom. I would like to mention my first opponent Vlad's amazingly sculpted warband, consisting of pieces from nature - amazing to behold. See pic attached. As well as my game with Italian raconteur Marcello, who had to keep reminding me that none of his naked, cannibal weirdos (also greatly painted) had any armor, as his own summoned skeletons were chasing his caster of the board after some terrible dice rolls. Overall a great experience, and would love to do it again next year. with a new warband. Kitbashing, converting and sculpting are now my new favorite parts of the hobby!"

The social part could easily be the biggest highlight of the event - the people from the association and our guests were phenomenal! Although most of us were from Europe, we also had a few players from the USA who actually traveled halfway around the world to be there. Of course, we tried to use the time as best as we could and organized several get-togethers. In addition to the fact that a lot of people met for the first time, some people saw each other again after a long time, and some could turn their long-term online acquaintances into a face-to-face experience for the first time. Before the event, we painted together, exchanged miniatures, ate, drank, and after the event we had a big party to celebrate the great experience together! I am glad that I managed to exchange contacts with most of the people, and I am looking forward to further socializing and future meetings.

I hope you will contact us if you are interested in skirmish games or kitbashes, so that we can exchange experiences live. You don't have to play Forbidden Psalm, but having a unique mini is always great, especially if you play long DnD campaigns!

Necropolis Board part 1

	In October we started with our first board for Necropolis, and with an appropriate theme! – the Eternal Autumn configuration from the Necropolis rulebook. The configuration is such that it only requires 3 trees, which we considered too boring, so instead of one tree, we plan to build a cubic lime kiln and 2 streams.

	  

	The board is inspired by Hawthorne's story Ethan Brand, where several characters talk about the unforgivable sin (next to a lime kiln in the middle of an American pastoral idyll). Aesthetically, we're aiming for early fall with rural motifs, along with gnarled trees (ala Burton's Sleepy Hollow) and a few pumpkins.

	  

	For now, we are very far from any aesthetic choices because we have dealt with the basic structure of the board: the housing is made of pine glued boards for the floor and pine profiles for the sides. After we glued everything with Drvofix, the entire housing was finely sanded. The size of the Styrodur board that fits into the housing is 40cmx40cmx2cm (Necropolis standard is 16"x16").

	  

	The placement of the stream itself was difficult to choose due to the peculiar, angular deployment in Necropolis, so we used token strings to try out a few potential streams that would least interfere with the game. Although we planned to keep our forest streams shallow, we still carved channels with a scalpel and a rotary multitool and coated the beds with diluted texture paste. While the paste dried, we added various sizes of pebbles and created a transition across the stream with larger pebbles.

	  

	The trees are actually real mangroves, so they have natural knots and twists. To add a Sleepy Hollow feel, we hollowed out a few holes in the wood to house the greenstuff faces. We propped up one tree with pieces of pine bark so it wouldn't lean too much and interfere with play.

	  

	The next step is to cover the entire board with a mixture of gypsum and sand and make the stove itself.

    ["content_hrv"]=>

	U listopadu smo započeli s našim prvim boardom za Necropolis, i to s primjerenom tematikom! – Eternal Autumn konfiguracijom iz Necropolis rulebooka. Konfiguracija je takva da nalaže samo 3 stabla, što smo smatrali predosadnim te umjesto jednog stabla kanimo izraditi kockastu vapnenu peć i 2 potoka.

	  

	Board je inspiriran Hawthorneovom pričom Ethan Brand, gdje nekoliko likova priča o neoprostivom grijehu (pored vapnare usred američke pastoralne idile). Estetski ciljamo na ranu jesen s ruralnim motivima, uz kvrgava stabla (ala Burtonov Sleepy Hollow) i nekoliko bundeva.

	  

	Za sada smo jako daleko od ikakvih estetskih odabira jer smo se nosili s osnovnom građom boarda: kućište je napravljeno od borovih lijepljenih dasaka za podni dio i borovih profila za bočne strane. Nakon što smo sve zalijepili drvofixom, cijelo kućište je fino izbrušeno. Veličina stirodur ploče koja sjeda u kućište je 40cmx40cmx2cm (Necropolis standard je 16“x16“).

	  

	Sami smještaj potoka bilo je teško odabrati zbog osebujnog, kutnog deploymenta u Necropolisu pa smo koristili nizove tokena da isprobamo nekoliko potencijalnih tokova koji bi najmanje ometali igru. Iako planiramo da nam šumski potoci budu plitki, i dalje smo skalpelom i rotirajućim multitoolom izrezbarili kanale i premazali korita razrijeđenom teksturnom pastom. Dok se pasta sušila, ubacili smo razne veličine kamenčića i uspostavili prijelaz preko potoka većim kamenčićima.

	  

	Stabla su zapravo pravo mangrovo drvo, tako da ima prirodne kvrge i zavijutke. Kako bismo dodali sleepy hollow šmek, izdubili smo nekolika rupa u drvu gdje bismo smjestili greenstuff lica. Jedno smo drvo poduprli s komadima borove kore kako ne bi bilo previše nagnuti i ometalo igru.

	  

	Sljedeći korak je prekrivanje cijelog boarda smjesom gipsa i pijeska te izrada same peći.

	In early October I had the opportunity to visit my neighbors from the Amuletd20 association. This time it wasn't an artsy Turnip28 event, but a huge tournament in AOS and Conquest games.

	  

	Besides the main event, there were tables playing Kings of War, as well as Warhammer: The Old World, where I came with my Chaos Dwarfs.

	  

	Unfortunately, I think TOW was the least represented with four players, but this little community was wonderful! Players helped each other with the rules and the games were very friendly. In addition to my choirs, there was also an army of High Elves at the event, as well as two armies of Brettons.

	  

	  

	  

	I spent my event fighting the noble knights of Brettonia, and I believe that my dwarves were helped by the atypical mobility obtained from the monsters (Wyverna, Lammasu and Bale Taurus) accompanied by the antithesis of HŽ (Iron Daemon) and a spell that increased the infantry's mobility.

	  

	The Kings of War tables were much more dynamic, with more players, more games, and the waxes themselves were far more diverse. I'm glad that the tables were close so I had the opportunity to hang out with the hosts Luka and Vane.. It was definitely a surprise when our Mario visited us and hung out with us.

	  

	I managed to find enough time to walk around the rest of the event - and it was impressive to see so many players in one place. Amuletd20 really did a phenomenal job for their first event.

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	After the event, we went to the association's premises to socialize a little more. And, if you're curious about what it was like there, come to the next Amulet event yourself, you certainly won't regret it.

	  

	P.S. Many thanks to Luka, Vana and Mita for the invitation and hospitality!

	Početkom listopada imao sam priliku posjetiti susjede iz udruge Amuletd20. Ovog puta nije bio artsy Turnip28 event, nego ogroman turnir u AOS i Conquest igrama.

	  

	Osim main eventa, bilo je stolova na kojima se igralo i Kings of War, kao i Warhammer: The Old World gdje sam došao sa svojim Chaos Dwarfovima.

	  

	Nažalost, mislim da je TOW bio najslabije zastupljen s četiri igrača, ali je ovaj mali community bio divan! Igrači su si međusobno pomagali s pravilima i partije su bile jako Friendly, Uz moje chorfove, na eventu je bila i jedna vojska High Elfova, kao i dvije vojske Brettonaca.

	  

	  

	  

	Svoj event proveo sam boreći se plemenitim vitezovima Brettonie, a vjerujem da je mojim patuljcima pomogla netipična mobilnost dobivena čudovištima (Wyverna, Lammasu i Bale Taurus) u pratnji antiteze HŽ-a (Iron Daemon) i čarolije koja je pješadiji povećavala mobilnost.

	  

	Na Kings of War stolovima bilo je znatno dinamičnije, više igrača, više partija, a i same vosjke su bile daleko raznolikije. Drago mi je da su stolovi bili blizu pa sam imao priliku družiti se s domaćinima Lukom i Vaneom.. Definitivno iznenađenje je bilo kad nas je naš Mario posjetio i podružio se s nama.

	  

	Uspio sam uhvatiti dovoljno vremena da prošećem i ostatkom eventa - i bilo je impresivno vidjeti toliko igrača na istom mjestu. Amuletd20 je zaista odradio fenomenalan posao za prvi event koji organiziraju.

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	Nakon eventa, otišli smo do prostora udruge podružiti se još malo. A, ako vas zanima kako je tamo bilo, dođite i sami na idući Amuletov event, sigurno nećete požaliti.

	  

	P.S. Veliko hvala Luki, Vani i Miti na pozivu i gostoprimstvu!

Gaslands - Tutorial II

	In this article I will briefly describe how I painted another set of three cars for Gaslands. Same as last time, I started with a black undercoat.

	

	As I decided to keep the colour of the vehicles matt black, I left it at that and proceeded to paint the windshields. Using much the same method I used for the yellow crew, I applied the chosen paint scheme. Unlike blue windshields with the yellow crew, here I decided to use the yellow/red combo.

	

	I then added chrome.

	

	In the end, I added metallic details such as guns etc.

	

	It was time to add the decals. I first painted all the surfaces with gloss varnish. Then I added the decals and after they set properly, I covered everything with Ultra Matt Varnish..

	

	And thus ended the painting process.

	U ovom ću  članku opisati kako sam obojao drugi set od tri autića za Gaslands demo partije. Kao i prošli puta, krenuo sam s crnim undercoatom. 

	

	S obzirom da sam odlučio da ovaj crew bude mat crn, farbanje karoserija sam tu prekinuo i počeo sam sa staklima. Slično kao i prošli put, koristio sam sličnu shemu, ali u drugim bojama. Za razliku od plavih refleksija na žutim autima, na crnima sam se odlučio za žuto/crvenu kombinaciju. 

	

	Dodao sam krom.

	

	I na kraju dodao metalne dijelove poput oružja.

	

	Na ovim autima, odlučio sam dodati i naljepnice. Prvo sam na površine s naljepnicama stavio gloss lak. Potom sam postavio naljepnicce i nakon što su se dobro osušile sam te iste površine prekrio mat lakom. 

	

	Time sam završio posao...

	

	GALERIJA ZAVRŠENIH RADOVA!
