Wednesday at Origins -- Coverage

Posted by Ranillon on 23. June 2011 01:04

Origins has barely begun, but we still have some coverage for you to enjoy (click the pictures to see larger versions):

This, of course, is the front banner marking the 40Korigins area in the miniatures room -- you can't miss us! 

These are the front Origins registration and event sign-up booths.  Obviously, Wednesday is a good time to sign up as the lines are far shorter than they will be on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.

This is the 40Korigins tournament area.  It was empty on Wednesday, but will be in good use the rest of the convention.  Naturally, the main event is the Rogue Trader Tournament on Saturday starting at 8am.  We've had to almost double the amount of space to make room for everyone -- the place is going to be packed!

This is one of our event tables -- the trailer park.  If you stop by and take a close look you'll see that it was inspired by a certain sci-fi cult classic...

 Another one of our event tables.

Wednesday was not just a chance to set everything up, but we in fact ran a number of events, all of which were loaded to capacity.  The event above is one that I and gbprime ran -- the Introduction to Warhammer Fantasy.  It went great with everyone having a fantastic time.  In fact, maybe we were a bit too fantastic -- one player who had just spent money on a new 40K army decided after finishing our introduction that he wished he had bought a fantasy army instead!

More to come...
