4th Annual Swap Day: 2015 a success

Sunday saw our 4th annual swop day.

 Recent developments in the gaming community (GW killing off the Warhammer World and Gamers flocking to KoW) has impacted quite severely on the sale and swopping of gaming bits, with attendance and numbers of traders down significantly from last year.

I don't think anyone sold a complete Warhammer army. This is in start contrast to previous years where whole armies sold at the drop of a hat, and punters almost got to fisticuffs over useful or choice bits. X-Wing saw some trade, as did FoW, and OK, I bought some GW stuff for conversion

Never the less brisk trade took place, and everyone went home happy. Either with cash in pocket or with items in hand!

So few traders came on the day that a third of the hall could be could be used for gaming a 40 K tournament.

I for one went home happy with a sale of GW cases paying for some great Olley's Army Scrunt Miniatures off Jayden. I have coveted these for some time.

Also found a Norman Army in 28mm, which prompted me to go home and buy the SAGA rulebooks off Gripping Beast with the unspent $$ burning a hole in pocket. And some Vikings off Magic Ape while I was at it. Anyone keen for a game of SAGA ?  (Coming to the KWC near you soon)

4th Annual Swap Meet & 40k Tournament

We're having our 4th Annual Swap meet at the Kapiti Wargames Club. Feel free to bring along your gaming bric-a-brac, your new and used and unloved miniatures so that someone may love them, except slaaneshi ones. That's just plain wrong.

In the past they're have been thousands of dollars worth of games, miniatures and scenery exchanging hands and you should be able to pick up a bargain or 2 or 3 or 4. I know I have. There will be pies and refreshments in the canteen available as well.

Last but most importantly the details;

Kapiti Wargames Club to have open day after recent collaboration with Sir Peter Jackson

Table-top strategy games with miniature models have led to a number of Kapiti wargamers and modellers working with Sir Peter Jackson and the Weta Workshop on his World War 1 Battle of Chunuk Bair diorama project. The club has enjoyed local and international media exposure following their involvement with Sir Peter’s Gallipoli project. They offer the public the opportunity to come see for themselves how it is done:

The Kapiti Wargames Club (KWC) have their annual Open Day on Sunday 7 June from 10 am at the Paraparaumu Community Centre (Ngahina Street, Paraparaumu). This annual event (open to the public) showcases the modelling and painting talents of local figure painters and wargamers. The event offers the public an opportunity to try their hand at table-top strategy games.

Demonstration and display games this year will include a Maori Pa Battle Display, World War 2 Eastern Front (Attack on Germany) Tank Battles, Fantasy and Futuristic Science Fiction battle displays.

There will also be a display on the club’s involvement with the WW1 diorama at the Great War Exhibition.

The range of games played include those based on historical fact, fictionalised fact, fantasy and futuristic games. Popular genres currently include Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Flames of War, Lord of the Rings, Warmachine, Firestorm Armada and Star Wars X-Wing. Many other genres feature from time to time. The club also offers strategy based board gaming and card-based strategy games, such as Magic, The Gathering.

The KWC is a youth friendly environment, with supervised introductory gaming activities for younger players from 4pm; and a session for more mature or experienced players from 7pm. Players of all grades, new and experienced alike are welcome to come try their hand.

The Open Day will run from 10am to 4pm on Sunday 7 June 2015. Entry is free.
