Road to - Essen Spiel 2017 - part two

This post will be more of a photo dump, with some comments between.
Lets start: Demo tables with Star Wars Legions drew much attention. Miniatures look good and it seems that FFG will have another hit.


On the other hand, demo table for Rune Wars was mostly empty



Demo tables for Eden are always nice, as well as painted miniatures in their display cases. 





Second two armies for Drakerys, Elves and Dwarfs are finally available
U-boot soon on kickstarter


The Crowd
GW demo tables were occupied but there were no big crowds in boots.


Necromunda, but not the one we know
 

Necromunda, the board game. Word is that first expansion with the campaign will be published simultaneously with board game

As usually - dice by scoop
Fallout by Modiphius is on preorder. There were two separate areas in halls 2 & 6 with demo tables for this game.


Human interface - be a better human is due to delivery around March next year. We saw preproduction miniatures, as well as new game in preparation by Postindustrial games - Better worlds, 4X game on kickstarter in spring.

Kickstarter for Planet of the Apes is planed for begging of next year. Resin masters for ape miniatures could be seen in Essen. Interesting twist of this game is that Apes are good guys and humans are bedies. Boardgame will include plastic trees, so apes could climb and walk among treetops, and humans are bonded to the ground.

Stuffed Fables
