I really like some of the figures and the idea of building a Venetian game board is rather tempting.

love the look of those deep-ones, and Venetian theme would be fun to paint

Post by: Marine0846 on October 06, 2011, 01:24:27 AM: The figures look pretty cool.
Wish the pictures were larger of the minis.

Post by: Cory on October 06, 2011, 01:37:10 AM: I can live with small pictures as long as the figs aren't too large.

Post by: Tomsche on October 06, 2011, 06:15:09 AM: I especcially like the left most lady, won`t be playing the game but I guess (correction, am pretty sure) I`ll be buying one or two of them just for painting up

Post by: The_Beast on October 06, 2011, 01:24:54 PM: I shall bring this to the attention of CoC folks. I know there's been talk of deep ones, and I think I see some new possibilities.

This is the year 1795. After a magical cataclysm that has changed Europe and the world as we know it, the city of Venice is under the effects of the Rent in the Sky. For the first time in history, magic is walking freely on its streets, ancient monsters have awakened from their submarine slumber and found their way towards the canals of this city, a decadent nobility has discovered new ways of depravity in senseless violence, and the citizens of Venice do the best they can to survive under the protection of the Guild of thieves.

This thrilling scenario lays in front of you, and you will be able to explore it thanks to Carnevale, The Miniature Game. With a simple and dynamic but profound game system, you will be able to create your own squad of fighters, make it evolve through game campaigns and enjoy your collection of spectacular miniatures. In this book you will find all the rules and all the information needed to play Carnevale, its characters, heroes, villains and monsters.

What are you waiting for?
———-
Fantastic! Blends The Shadow Over Innsmouth, Les Miserables, and The Invisibles with cinematic and dynamic miniatures combat. I can’t wait to see more of this game!

Spooky! But in a very good way. Carnevale truly captures the atmosphere of the mist-shrouded nights of Venice and its incredibly sinister masks.

Title: Re: Carnevale
Post by: Dolmot on October 06, 2011, 04:01:07 PM: The minis look handy. I'll probably grab some. I might even consider the game, assuming it does not:

1) Try to include pirates, ninjas, gunslingers, demons, undead, steampunk, mechanical spiders and the kitchen sink. Seriously, these "original" pseudo-modern supernatural skirmish games are starting to lose their originality and character. What's the difference between high fantasy, VSF and post-apocalyptic if they all eventually include everything from cutlasses to hellspawn and anime robots?

2) Fill the table to the brim with cards, counters and tokens. It's ugly when your tiny skirmish table is covered by so much meta clutter that you no longer can see the miniatures.

I'm not a fan of named heroes with a million special rules either, but I guess that's unavoidable if you want a sustainable business model.

As you can see, I'm a bit jaded about this kind of games. However, how many times should we pay the 10e "gameplay tax" for each character model (that is, every model) only to see the company crash in a few short years? Confrontation, Hell Dorado and Alkemy are practically down. Malifaux and Eden are still trying. Smart Max has some weirdo game too, although I don't know how you're supposed to play it. Warmachine is doing fairly well, but it's gone far beyond basic skirmish already.

I can barely keep track of all these flavours of mechanical spiders, demons and killer clowns. They certainly come and go faster than I can paint a warband or find another player.

Proper translation and proofreading (starting from your game title in the promo pictures) would be a nice bonus too...

Post by: Anatoli on October 06, 2011, 04:47:31 PM: I think the miniatures (if they are 28mm) could be used for a lot of games. The froglike minis in the back are solid "Deep ones" imo, and you can never have too many straightjacket nutters :D
Title: Re: Carnevale
Post by: infelix on October 06, 2011, 05:21:49 PM: I could definitively use some of those miniatures, specially the guys in straight-jackets and the ones with masks.

I'd have to move Malifaux to the Warmachine column on this side of the pond, but otherwise, totally with you. Only rejoice in possible figs you can shoehorn into something else.

Post by: Donpimpom on October 06, 2011, 06:34:15 PM: it's only me the one having a certain sense of "deja vu" while looking some of these minis?
I found one shockingly similar at the new Rasputina version from malifaux

Well, I can also see similarity to Crocodile Ice Witch (https://www.crocodilegames.com/store/itemDetail.cfm?prodID=65&catID=34), GW Spellsinger (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440027a&prodId=prod800851&rootCatGameStyle=) and possibly a bunch of Reaper miniatures. There's been a lot of floating going on in the recent years.

The models are being released on the 29th October. I really like this range (especially the deep Ones and Hybrids), I also like the fact that the painting of the figures is good but not exceptional as some sites (Confrontation being an example) can put people off as they feel could never reach that standard.

Ther is some lovely stuff there.

That 'not V' is just what I have been looking for.

Thank you!

Post by: thebinmann on October 22, 2011, 03:07:19 PM: WOW tho deep ones are coming this way!

The others are nice, though not my thing, that said I'll pick up a few. They match nicely to freebooter style (though not sure about scale)

Title: Re: Carnevale, Page 2 pictures of all the initial releases
Post by: Dolmot on October 22, 2011, 06:27:13 PM: Mm...many of them look generic enough to be used for a variety of purposes. I've also been told that the game is not all about named heroes. You have some kind of base troopers/characters, who can be customised and upgraded during the campaign. Oh, and the rules can be downloaded for free soon.

Lots of things to like. I suspect they'll be getting some of my hard-earned money.
Title: Re: Carnevale, Page 2 pictures of all the initial releases
Post by: Arlequín on October 22, 2011, 08:30:19 PM: That's how I understand it too. The 'named heroes' are supplementary as faction specific 'swords for hire' or something like that, rather than an integral part of your faction. Interestingly the Deep Ones and hybrids are a playable faction... which is a bit fishy if you ask me. ;)

Post by: Skrapwelder on October 26, 2011, 03:12:42 PM: Very nice. That second diorama is based on "Duel After a Masquerade Ball" by Jean-Leon Gerome. One of my favorites. I have a print of it hanging on the wall.

They listed also an english Rulebook, so I'll guess you can order it on saturday, when they open the Shop ;)

Their shop is running now and in the "Download" section you can get all you need to play now.
Rulebook, templates etc :D

Title: Re: Carnevale, Page 2 pictures of all the initial releases
Post by: achab on October 31, 2011, 10:44:18 PM: Very nice figures here. I read in the rulebook that the figures are 30mm. I would be interesting if we could have some comparison shots. Still, 12 euros for a single 30 mm figure makes Foundry's prices sound like a bargain. Even with the 5 figure packs at 35 E, it's still way too expensive, and that's without shipping costs :'(
Title: Re: Carnevale, Page 2 pictures of all the initial releases
Post by: Arlequín on November 01, 2011, 09:44:27 AM: Foundry? They are half as much again as an equivalent GW figure! :o
Title: Re: Carnevale, Page 2 pictures of all the initial releases
Post by: achab on November 01, 2011, 10:20:47 AM: :o Correct. I had not checked GW figures for a while. So, carnevale is about on par, price-wise, with GW. Our hobby is becoming costly...
