Join the people of Mornea, noblemen and proud representatives of the Republic Khalimane, in the gentle nation Aurlok by way of the corrupt kingdom of Avalon and empire thrives of the Triad of Nephrite... Take part in numerous clashes which spot Mornéa but keep in mind that they aim only at determining which will appropriate the means most appraised by the Broken World: Stones Alchimiques. With Alkemy, the game of figurines, simulate these clashes in the course of interactive parties where your tactician's talents will be put in hard test: You will have to manage the actions of your troops at best to surprise your adversary. You will have to bluff this one in the course of intense battles. You will have to make intercede your alchemists wisely. Make Jin you so chief of the Demarcations, the true points of potency on Mornea!

Man, as if we had not enough to spend our cash on...

Is this from the same people who will be doing Helldorado?

Interesting take on Native Americans, there.

I wish the best of luck to all these continental European companies that bring us games like these. They add a new interesting facet to miniature wargaming.

This was my first thought, too. But this seems to be a new company.

But the gametable looks like Team Toulouse, maybe they could answer a few qustions.

Looks very promissing, especially with this nice terrain board.

I guess I need to refresh (resp. badly improve :mrgreen: ) my rudimentary skills of the French language...

I'm focusing on all the wrong parts again, but that table is beautiful, such a wonderful rich colour and great texture.

The toad shaman chaps are cool too, I like the picture of the one with an octopus on his head.

But it's the great gaming table that's stolen my attention from the game here. :oops:

Nope, They are from two differents companies : Asmodée Editions for Hell Dorado, and Kraken Editions For Alkemy.

But Allan Carrasco (his website) seem to work bor both. He's one of the most french talentuous painters et sculptors. Like his chaps Jeremy Bonamant, Thomas David et J-A Gillois, they were all revealed by the French GW Golden Deamon. Allan won again tne last one !

Meow,

"No, he didn't". It's the answer from a guy who work for he on the ALKEMY project. ALKEMY is his project.
The game and two miniatures groups will be available just before next christmas (niovembre if all goes right).
KRAKEN edition is a "groupe de peintre" who need make some big project together. They written rules and sculpted miniatures.

These are some information catch on the salon du jeu de Toulouse this afternoon.

Oops ! My bad !

I checked too quick on google. I just wanted to put his fabulous work under the spotlight, but it seems i did worst than better...

"Mes plus sincères excuses aux intéressés"

Matt,
shamefaced.

@ le matou rouge:
Thanx for the answer!

Had a quick exchange of comments on CMon with Jeremie ages ago, he really seems to be a nice guy, apart from being a great painter.
Good to know he is still on such great projects!

An answer from an e-mail to the company:

Hello Burkard,

First, I'd like to tank you for your interest in our game. It's nice to see international gamers having a look at our work

English rules will be availables on our website when Alkemy will be release this end of year. Alkemy will have is own great book of background and full rules end of 2008 and it will probably be available in French and English.

We are planning to come to Essen Spiel this fall but this is not sure at this moment. This will be annonced on our website as soon as we know.

About the game system... let's say that will be a bit difficult just to tell by mail. The website will be fully operationnal in one month approximatively with an english version for international users. There will be on this site presentation of Alkemy's rules and universe.

Regards,

Joss
Kraken Editions
