chess

Sunset's Workshop says: I've been looking at this site for years, first time submitting something and that something happens to be my own work. I've seen plenty of geekery and items that I loved shown to me first here, so I figure it's about time to do the same. I understand that it's not for everyone, but chess is the 'universal' game that most 'geeks' can relate to. In that mindset, and being a person that loves both chess and trench art, I've made a combination of the two with a chess set using spent 7.62x54r shell casings for pieces. This isn't the only set i've made, and there are -plenty- of pictures avalible. I don't know I'm more just tossing my hat into the ring and seeing where it lands.

You guys, this is a CAKE. I just got so hungry I could eat a mushroom.

From the press release:

Hammerfall Publishing in association with Games Workshop has announced "Warhammer®40,000®: Chess – Regicide" coming to multiple gaming platforms in 2014. Set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, the game brings the iconic Games Workshop IP together with one of the most popular board games of all time.

"The game has gone beyond the standard boundaries of chess to revolutionize the way it is seen" said Cathrin Machin, the Project Lead at Hammerfall Publishing. "In creating the ground-breaking new Codex chess engine, the campaign mode represents a world first in strategy gaming".

Players can choose from single and multiplayer classic chess modes, as well as an enthralling Blood Angels story driven campaign based on a totally new concept of chess. The narrative was written by Games Workshop published author Ross Watson.

I "ugh" at Lady Cassandra of course. On the good side, River is the perfect queen!
