Fabled Realms Beta Weekend – Saturday

We're just about to kick off with the livestream here at Beasts of War with two of the 4Ground guys getting stuck into a demo game.

If you want to take part with gaming over the weekend you can download the Beta Kit here...

Make sure to get your comments into the live chat and Sam will see if he can get them answered for you live!

There are plenty of games underway, some using the warbands which have been built here at the event and others using some of the kitbashed warbands as well that folks have brought along.

This shows the flexibility of the 4Ground guys and their system, allowing you to get stuck in with whatever miniatures you like. We encourage you to do the same...and we'll also be back with the guys here at the beta weekend to find out what they thought of the mechanics too.

We have a wander around the gaming hall and see what folks are up to here at the 4Ground Beta Weekend. Make sure to keep an eye out for more of what's happening today as we stop in with some of the gamers and find out how they're doing...

Some of the folks aren't just gaming, they're also doing some painting too!

Alex and Ian setting in for one of their first games of Fabled Realms, delving into the game and trying things out with their warbands and working through the mechanics they learned yesterday.

We will certainly be back with them to find out how their game played out later in the day...

We stopped in to have a look at what Annie and Gareth have been doing as they work away at painting their miniatures from the weekend. It's always nice to be able to see what's happening with the hobby beyond the gaming in the Fabled Realms.

Keep an eye out for more finished models as the weekend continues...

We speak with Andy from 4Ground about the card drafting elements available to you in Fabled Realms.

He gives us some sneaky tactics and pointers as to what you might want to take against which warbands...

We stopped in to check out what Andreas has been doing with his warband for Fabled Realms. It seems like the Gnome Wizard appears to be a very powerful individual indeed, zipping around the battlefield.

Andreas and his opponent While will be talking about their experiences with the game shortly so watch out for more from these guys.

In the Fabled Realms, there are plenty of opportunities to achieve glory! And grab some cool spot prizes.

Cad and I had a look at the various Achievements we have set for our Beta Testers to grab some cool goodies.

We get together with the guys from STL Gaming Studio to discuss how their first game of Fabled Realms went.

The guys are more familiar with Lord of the Rings and Hobbit gameplays but this week they're diving deep into Fabled Realms.

We delve into more of the Fabled Realms through the folks here at the Beta Weekend. One of the big things about the day is getting that feedback to the 4Ground guys so we're hoping to catch up with some more people at the end of their games to find out how things are going...

With that in mind watch this space for an awesome livestream coming up featuring Warren and Justin...

Gerry the giant has escaped the clutches of the village people and we're checking out the fabulous terrain pieces around the Beasts of War Gaming hall.

With the mats from GameMat EU, Deep Cut Studio and 4Ground terrain buildings I think we've achieved something special for our Beta Testers.

What's your favourite terrain pieces?

A lot of folks who would normally be hobbying are instead looking to do some gaming this weekend which is nice to see. Folks are enjoying putting together their warband and having a bash - even some people who wouldn't normally have had a go at tabletop gaming.

Fabled Realms also allows you to build your own models and stat them up which is neat, and some of the gamers have been doing just that, working with the beta rules to create their own warbands.

Others, like Tim, have been working on some nice incidental pieces of terrain like this ballista.

Do you think Fabled Realms is a system that could get people into tabletop skirmish gaming?

Some of the guys are playing a game where one of the warband members is trapped within a wagon in the middle of the board. Whilst we think that they might get free...there is a Terror that has other ideas.

One of the big draws for the game is the narrative gameplay, and as you can see here the game does invoke a great sense of scale and Fantasy awesomeness on the tabletop.

We sit in with Cad again to take a look at the Mordenburg Faction for the world of Fabled Realms. Are these guys one of the factions that you'd like to try out in this game from 4Ground?

How would you make your own version of the Mordenburg Guard?

Here are just some of the characters that have already come together as part of the Kitbashing Competition as part of this weekend. You can win some goodies if you take part in the forum topic here...

...and of course, if you comment below with any of your thoughts on Kitbashing for Fabled Realms you might win yourself a voucher too.

We take a look at the work that Gaz has been doing painting up his forces before he gets stuck into the world of Fabled Realms.

He usually spends a lot of time painting up miniatures at these weekends but this time around he is working on getting in some games later on today and throughout Sunday as well.

Come and take a peek at the awesome food that we got tonight. Lloyd really enjoyed it...

...can't beat curry and chips right?

The banner image you saw below belongs to Gaz who was going to be getting in some gameplay. BUT, he thought he would stop in and do a bit of kitbashing first...and it looks like quite the monster!

Stop back tomorrow and find out how it turns out?

We can't help but sing whilst we're working it seems.

Admittedly, I don't think we're very good. See you tomorrow folks 🙂
