WARHAMMER WORKSHOP AND BATTLE AT CIVIC CENTER OF SANTA ISABEL, ZARAGOZA.

Although educational centers are closed in July, we don't stop performing activities. This summer we have had the chance to teach the kids of Santa Isabel (in Zaragoza) what Warhammer is, how to paint and play Warhammer Fantasy battles.
The workshop was divided in three sessions:

In the first day, kids could learn basic painting techniques:

Starting up.

Iván teaching how to leave a drop of paint on the palette. You already know: take the paint from the palette (not directly from the pot) and dilute it with water.

Before begin the painting process, we prime the Night Goblins.

Kids listening eager to start while black spray is getting dry.

Goblins ready!

Educators were taking part of the activity as well.

These are some of the miniatures that kids painted:

In the second day, kids spent their time creating, decorating and painting their own different bases. A perfect chance to learn "dry brush" technique:

Today the teacher was Ricardo.

There was plenty of interest and participation.

They learnt how to create:

- A green grass basic base.
- A volcanic base made with cork.
- A base with sand.
- A base of water, lava or mud with Aquaplast. 

In the third and last day, we show to the kids what a Warhammer Fantasy battle is. Luckily we could count with the presence of many kids, and we decided to arrange two different battles at the same time:

- Lizardmen vs Orcs and Goblins.
- Ogre Kingdoms vs the Empire.

We want to thank the educators for their implication all along the workshop because just one of the member of us, Grupo Afternoon, could attend the event.

Battles were played with a limit of 1.000 points and in a small tabletop of 120x120 cm.

Here Ivan is helping us with the battle of Orcs and Goblins vs Lizardmen.

A weird fog flooded the battle in the turn of Lizardmen.

Many young female generals were leading the armies: four at the Ogre Kingdom side!

Ricardo teaching the effects of the spell "Chain Lightning" from the Lore of Heavens. Check out the happines of the kids when they knew the destruccion they were about to create among the Ogre Kingdoms lines!

That's all the information about the workshop we performed last week.

Thanks to all the kids that came 1, 2 or 3 days to the activity. You have participated a lot and very well and without this would have been imposible. Thanks as well to the civic center educators team for making everything easier in our tasks. We hope you enjoyed it!

THANKS AGAIN!

See you later!

WARHAMMER WORKSHOP AT VALDEFIERRO CIVIC CENTER, ZARAGOZA. YEAR: 2012

This weekend we could celebrate a Warhammer workshop at Valdefierro civic center, a neighborhood of Zaragoza. At the begining it supposed it would be just on Saturday afternoon, but the managers of the center enjoyed what we do so they decided to extend the workshop one more day until Sunday.

In this workshop we have used for the first time a couple of showcases where we placed miniatures of our Hall of Fame from our workshop and a Warhammer 40k Tau contingent that we had hidden around. Moreover, we show some new scenery elements that we have like our arcane architecture that soon you'll see in a post especially dedicated to it and a pair of new forest. We decided to replace the ones that we had almost destroyed. Too many battles!

Besides the little exhibition, the workshop included the clasicc battle where a Imperial detachment had an encounter against an Ogre horde and a table to paint miniatures (kids could enjoy their first miniatures and gave the best of them).

Of course, it was a great experience and we hope we could repeat it again soon.

Here you can see an overview of what the workshop was. Take a look of the battle, where both armies are ready to fight.

Part of our new scenery. We bought this arcane architecture at the Games Day and we were eager to use it in our activities.

Table where many of the participants took a brush for their very first time.

Diorama that we haave built during this summer. This event was a very nice place to show it out of our workshop.

A novelty in our activities. Along with the new diorama and the already classic Ogre Arena, you can see a couple of methacrylate showcases. In there we shown Warhammer 40.000 and our "Hall of Fame" miniatures.

We wanted to carry part of our "Hall of Fame" from our workshop and show it. It's composed by miniatures that we have registered in some painting contests.

A small Tau contingent  that we never had shown until now. Maybe you'll begin to see them often!

And that's all. We had two nice afternoons sharing and showing what this hobby is about.

Cooming soon (tomorrow) we have other workshop at Río Gállego High School, a building that we know really good. We hope it will be as great as this one has been.

Goodbye to everyone!
