Demo the demo

Hey it’s been a while since the last post and a while since the one before that. This is completely my fault and I will be having a proper talking to myself about my poor performance at my next review...

This time I’m going to talk a bit about demoing, not how to do it well just how I like to approach it.

Firstly there is no one right way to demo as with most things it comes down to finding your own style and playing to your strengths. For example I can talk enthusiastically about pretty much anything but I’m terrible at facts and figures. So when I demo I’m more “oh oh try this thing it’s cool” and less “this works like that’s and you’ll take this for when that happens”

Courier crisis

So I got to sit down for my first proper game of TDE yesterday. We were both a bit nervous and had to fumble around here and there but fun was had.

Okay me and local player and all round nice guy James headed along to Dark Sphere Shepherds Bush for a 100point game. Luckily DS have a huge trove of terrain so after I collected up all the plants and trees and they set up a bunch of multi-storey buildings we had a table. The mat was a bit on the dry side but we just called anything tarmac as water. (Problem solvers)

We had our crews set as the starter box 100pts crews I was running my (almost painted) Artefacters and James ran his Militia.
