GAMES DAY. GOLDEN DEMON. BARCELONA 2012

Games Day 2012 was celebrated in Barcelona the 1st of July and, of course, we had to be there!

Just with our camera and our eagerness we departed from our city, Zaragoza, at 3 a.m. and we arrived at Barcelona at 7 o'clock. Games Day started at 10.00 so in the meantime we decided to visit the Gothic Quarter and the harbor of Barcelona.
First thing that we could check once we arrived at the Games Day was the "Armies on Parade". A perfect start for a really nice day dedicated to our hobby. It was a spectacular vision all those armies waiting for us!

Winner of Armies on Parade: Juan Carlos Mendal. From our city: Zaragoza.

Next thing we wanted to check was the store, with the whole range of GW products. We expected some kind of discounts, but the only deals that we found were: "spend 200 € and your order will be free delivered at home"...or new Warhammer 40.000 Rulebook signed by the creators at the same price that a normal one, but buying the new Munitorum Tape Measure and the new set of Munitorum Templates.We left the store disappointed, as many others.

We spent the rest of the time checking the Golden Demon miniatures, different battles boards and painting tables. We assisted to a couple of conferences. One of them was offered by Anja Wettergen, great painter of "Eavy Metal". In the other conference was present one of the sculptors of the GW Studio and writter of many Warhammer novels. They were really interesting in order to know how proffesional painters work and develop their ideas and projects. We also checked the minigames that many clubs bring to the event. And we didn't miss the Scrap Demon neither!

Nice and interesting minigame. Basically consists in duels with cards and dices in a Arena.

Orcs VS Dwarfs.

Blood Bowl Stadium.

We could see the new releases of Forge World too. Just astonishing.

And finally, here you've got the Golden Demon miniatures. We couldn't take pictures to all of them (sorry!!), but for ethics and rights reasons we are going to show you only photos taken by us. Enjoy!
