Historicon 2024 Convention Recap

[@Not_Quite_Dead]

I've never been to such a convention. It's really impressive! Thanks for sharing!

[@SlyBlu7]

Ha! That's me speaking in the Blood & Plunder tournament footage, on the right hand side with the beard. I didn't realize you were taking video or I wouldn't have talked to you after the clip. Thanks for the recap. It was a good convention, as always. I live locally, gaming out of Lazarus in Harrisburg - if anyone in the area wants to see more Blood & Plunder, stop in and ask for a demo!

[@axisandaliens]

@@SlyBlu7 oh my goodness, I’ve not graduated to the “talking to people on camera” stage yet - I typically just shoot a little video and then chat afterwards. Next time I would love to talk with you - it seemed like a very well supported tournament, and I was tempted to enter it myself!

[@SENOJYDNAR]

Thank you for the video recap. Much appreciated since I could not make it to the con this year.

[@axisandaliens]

@@SENOJYDNAR hope you can make it to Fall In!

[@chrisborucki7638]

Great video and even better meeting you at the WAB tournament. Hope to see you at Fall In

[@axisandaliens]

@@chrisborucki7638 wonderful meeting you too, Chris! Looking forward to another game soon.

[@chrisborucki7638]

What rules are you thinking of using for Napoleonic?

[@axisandaliens]

@@chrisborucki7638 black powder is a strong option but I really want to give Valour and Fortitude a try. The Plancenoit game I played used modified Rebels and Patriots rules that I really enjoyed and offer a smaller game.

[@basement1908]

[@axisandaliens]

thanks for sharing, it looked like a fun convention

[@bitcoinyoda8321]

solid camera work! not too fast, not too slow, not too shaky.

[@axisandaliens]

@@bitcoinyoda8321 thanks! I’m always reminding myself to slow down with this stuff!

[@lockard71]

Thanks for the review

[@axisandaliens]

@@lockard71 good to see you!

[@chriscouchoud]

Historicon 2024 was a blast! My only regret is that I never checked out Wally's basement. My schedule was booked solid, and Wally's was always closed when I had free time. I also tried to focus my spending. The Badger and Things from the Basement booths got most of my money this year. I picked up a bunch of Baron's War and Feudal Japan minis, along with a couple of terrain pieces. There are so many tempting things in that vendor hall.

[@axisandaliens]

@@chriscouchoud I didn’t get much from Wally’s this time. There were a coupe of people selling off flames of war boxes but I resisted! Glad you picked up some Barons War stuff - what did you choose?

[@chriscouchoud]

@@axisandaliens I picked up a bunch of outlaw units including Robin and the rest of his crew, archers, signalers, etc. I also grabbed some other odds and ends for fun - the Sheriff, King John, some monks and foot knights. I'm going to try and piece together another retinue from my Saga collection. I have lots of work to do.

[@axisandaliens]

@@chriscouchoud sounds like a fun project! I gravitated to the outlaws, but I’m excited for the plastic sergeants to come out.

[@chriscouchoud]

​@@axisandaliens Yeah, man! I'm looking forward to starting. I'm really digging all the plastics that WG is putting out for Baron's War. I have a couple boxes of their stuff that I repurposed for Saga. Their kits are always solid.

[@DurandulTycho]

I wonder what those soldiers were behind the 40k space marines

[@thediminutivesoldier]

man id love to make it to this sometime!

[@axisandaliens]

@@thediminutivesoldier it should definitely be on every wargamers bucket list!
