Origins is 2 weeks away

Posted by dhousema on 15. May 2012 11:27

The convention is only 2 weeks away from happening. Event registration opened a week ago, and the website for origins is finally populated. 

As a quick review:

1) The 40KOrigins crew again has a full slate of games from opening on Wednesday through closing on Sunday.

2) The dealer's room is again fully populated. A very different mix of vendors again this year from the prior year.

3) The winner of the GT will get membership and an entry (paid by 40KOrigins) in the GT at Adepticon next year.

4) We have a brand new children's game with a brand new board. It is huge and fun. It is run by children for children, parents are not allowed...let the kids have fun.

5) We hope to see you all there in Columbus.

Origin's Dealer Room

Well the list is posted on the Origin's Website. 

The good news is Acheson Creations will be back again with a wide range of scenary. The better news is GHQ is back after a multi-year absence. There are a number of miniature vendors on hand this year beyond Acheson and GHQ, including (I did a quick scan so forgive me if I missed someone): 

Arcane Wonders, Bricks&Board, Conquest Gaming, Cool Mini or Not, Impact Miniatures, Iron Wind, Kalidasia Media, Miniature Building Authority, On the Lamb Games, Rebel, DGS, Eagle Games, Flag Dude, Fox Miniatures, Reaper, Rivet, RLBPS, SGT Major, Splintered Light, Tactical, Tectonic Craft Studios, Urban Vikings, and Zvezda. 

Zvedzda interests me, because they are the dominate game and model company in Russia. 

OBTW - Event Registration is now open as well.

Hey guys. I wanted to pass along an update on the necromunda table I am building for us. I have a few pictures here. Assembly is complete, and I am working through priming and beginning to color block the table. If you have questions let me know, ill be glad to answer them!

Remember these are just primer and a first drybrush in places. I have a HUGE amount of work to do over the next 3 weeks with washes and details. Wish me luck and I'll see you at Origins!
