On Saturday, I briefly stuck my head in to
Leviathan, the annual wargaming convention run every April by Sydney's Western Suburbs' Gaming Society. It is held at a local high school.
I didn't play any games myself, but caught up with some old friends and took some pics.

There were other games going on- including
40K, Hordes, Warhammer, Flames of War, Lord of the Rings, &
Bolt Action- but I didn't get photos. There were going to be games of
Saga and
X-Wing the next day as well.
I was unable to resist these 15mm French-Indian war figures at the second hand stall- I think they are Blue Moon- only $15!
[UPDATE- the figures are Freikorps15 and Essex]

I am struck by both how an Australian high school looks like an American one, and how all wargamers seem to be the same shape. It looks like a fun even.
ReplyDeleteAustralian high school students wear uniforms, from popular culture I'm not sure if Americans do. But there is a stereotypical wargamer for a reason!
DeleteSo there is benefits of living in "SinDey" after all! I am very jealous, Barks, nothing like that up my way. Looks like it would have been a good event. Love the Napoleonic Sail.
ReplyDeleteAge of sail games are always eye-catching, I find. But I did have to drive two hours to get there!
DeleteDeeproot scored? WoW! I've never see a Treeman score before! Thats a real bucket-list event :-)
ReplyDeleteGood times indeed, thanks for sharing mate
As I recall the story, he blitzed an elf, triple skulls, rerolled it, smashed the elf and caught the ball on the bounce, then trundled down the pitch surrounded by a swarm of 'flings, to equalise 2-2 in the last turn. Truly the stuff of legend.
DeleteLooks like a great time! Some very cool looking games!
ReplyDeleteI really should take more pictures, though.
DeleteI too am a sucker for a good looking Infinity table. The green accents on the buildings are particularly appealing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :)
No worries, cheetor!
DeleteLeviathan was smaller this year. I looked at those indian war figs three times and decided I really didn't need them, though they were very tempting. Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteNeed and want are two very different things...
