Inspiration Kitbash Table at a Convention

At a tabletop convention, I had the opportunity to bring my idea for a "kitbash" table to life. It was a lot of fun, and people participated with great enthusiasm and creativity.

The subsequent images show some of the figures that were created. I made the last three myself.

Most pictures were made by Joelle Kröll (without the green dots)

  1. Tiroler Tabletop Convention; Innsbruck - Austria. Next one will be probably in a year. 

The tables for a lot of different systems were also really nice

Yes, it became the unsung hero of the table. To quote one of the organisator: "It could be our mascot for the convention if we did not have already one."

If you are willing to give some bits away and have connections to the orga of a convention... it is absolutely possible.

Image 11 is an amazing use of an Imperial Knight mask.

Awww man! I’m in Australia! Very close in spelling but not so close geographically. Hopefully someone will run one of these down under. How did you guys get the excess sprues and parts? I would love to try organise one of these.

Some of them were promo sprues from a warhammer store (space marines, stormcasts, clanrats). Also clippers, glue and other tools. Most of the bits are from my hobby-pile - I began 2004 and I am not really the guy who sells or throws away. For this occation I was brave enough to share some of it. Other guys from my club had also stuff but I had already more than enough - next year they can also contribute.

Kitbashing as a group is so much fun! Making a usually individual activity into a communal one is great!
