Pulp City Supreme Edition @ PAW 2013

As regular readers may know, we went off to PAW 2013 last weekend to dome the new Pulp City Supreme Edition.

PAW (link) is an annual 2 day gaming show put on by the Plymouth Association of Wargamers in Devon, UK.. This year was the biggest one yet with tons of games, traders and record numbers coming through the door.

Pulp City Supreme Edition (link) is the new rules edition of the super powered skirmish game. It is currently in Open Beta so head over and check it out. The PC team appreciate any and all feedback.

The original plan was to do a full report on the show taking a look at all the different games and stands but with so many people around, and only myself running the PC games and the Galley Wench running the draw, I ended up staying at our table for both days.

Several people came around to try out the new edition of Pulp City and every single one of them seemed to enjoy it. Some even coming back for another game. That's a great sign that the PC team have come up with a winner!

Instead of the planned full report, how about a load of pretty pics of awesome models and games? We all know that's much better to look at!

Selection of Pulp City Heroes to defend the Supreme Museum

The other side. The Villains gather.
The models are on the old edition cards so people can match the card to the model easily. The new rules are on the backs of them.

Birds eye view of the game board showing the streets around the Pulp City Supreme Museum

 Hellsmith and Supreme Zed enter the area.

Members of ARC (Ape Revolutionary Committee) step in to depend the museum.
Guerilla leads his tech specialist Virus and his new robotic Gorilla toy, Apebot

ARC enter the block again. This time they are backed up by the Mighty Silverager making his way through the shipping containers.

Nuclear Jones, Iron Train and Giant Hadron prepare for action.

The Heavy Metal team are joined by Dr Mercury on the flank

As Guerilla jumps up onto a caravan for a better view, Giant Hadron arrives to smash him back down through it.

Apebot has other ideas though. While avoiding a Nuclear Leak from Nuclear Jones, he tears the caravan out from under Guerilla to try and take Giant Hadron down.

On the other side of the block, Silverager and Dr Mercury face off.

With Giant Hadron in trouble, Iron Train and Nuclear Jones try and come up with a new plan of attack.

Hadron isn't in as much trouble as his team thought. Powerhouse models new get extra damage and effects (called SFX) on every 4+. This was the attack roll against Guerilla

The Villains have taken the Museum and try to defend it against an assault from the combined Heroes.

As they look up, Perun the god of thunder calls down a massive lightning storm to damage all of the Villains at once.

A combined Villain team with members from several different factions join the fight. Doom Train, Nuke, Dr Red and Loup Garou II want the artifacts.

 The Hero team of Solar, Ace of Wraiths, Silverager and Sovereign try to hold the area.

Solar tries to knock down Loup Garou with a single 'sun powered' punch. Behind them Doom Train gives cover to Dr Red and Nuke when the Heroes close in.

Silverager has had enough. Doom Train 'was' where the Batmobile now lies. Perfect shot!

More on games of Supreme Edition soon. Until then why not head over the the Pulp City Website and check it out.

Hendybadger awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Pulp City Heads for Plymouth!

Yes that's right.
Pulp City (the awesome Super Heroes v Villains skirmish game) is heading for Plymouth, Devon, UK over the next couple of weeks.

I will be running a couple of demo events at a Plymouth club and store.

On Sunday June 24th. the Plymouth Association of Wargamers are letting me destroy cities at their weekly club meet. 12pm-5pm. Directions and club details can be found >>HERE<<

Later that week I will be at The Giants Lair. Thursday 28th from 5pm-10pm. Details about the venue are >>HERE<<
The Giants Lair is also home to the 'very well known' Warhammer Joey. Maybe she might fancy a try?

If you fancy giving Pulp City a go or you already play and fancy meeting up for a game, you are more than welcome to come along to either demo.
Any other clubs and/or stores in the South West UK that want a demo day/eve, please just shoot me an email using the link on the right>>>>>>

I know the blog has been quiet for afew days but I have been quite busy. Unfortunately not with gaming.
I have managed to reach one of my goals though. I have managed to get all of the Pulp City range. (apart from the elusive June Summers)
I'm also very close to building the entire range. More than 1 of some. About 4 left to finish making.

Next up are the 2 other goals. To paint and play with all the different models! That might take abit longer.

Finally for today, if you are interested in the game then check out one of the most active (and comical) Facebook gaming groups out there.
Citizens of Pulp City (link)
Includes lots of players (vets and noobs), the Game Design Team, Creator, Artists and Sculptors.
You don't get much better fan communication than that!

Hendybadger awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Legionary 2012 Gaming Show, May 5th, Devon, UK

Its almost time for the great con again, Legionary!
Held at the Matford Centre, Exeter, Devon on May 5th. Full details are on the Legionary Website

A word from one of the organisers, Mike:

Exeter Legionary is the biggest wargames show in the South West, and  has been run by several different clubs over its 20 year history. The Exmouth Imperials have been involved as co-organisers for five years now, and in our first year in sole charge hope to make the show even bigger and the most varied wargames event in the area. 
We have twenty wargames traders selling historical, fantasy and sci fi figures, rules and terrain; over a dozen demonstration or participation games ranging from 422BC to manga-inspired sci fi (and 80s Super Heros - HB); tournaments for Warhammer and something out of the ordinary to test your skills in Warhammer 40K; and the usual huge and busy bring and buy. 
So if you want to buy, sell, play or just look at wargames on May 5th 2012 there's no better place in England 

Exmouth Imperial Wargames Society is a wargames club that has been running for over 10 years in Exmouth, East Devon. We meet every Wednesday night in the function room of The Bath House on Exmouth seafront (next to Elizabeth Hall). We play a wide range of games - historical, fantasy and science fiction - and all scales. We'd welcome more players so if you're in the area, feel free to pop in.

North Cornwall Beats and Bionics / Tales of a Tabletop Skirmisher will also be there running Pulp City demo and participation games.

Hope to see afew of you there.
Full report will follow on here after.
