In my internet browsing today, I came across what I think is a new 28mm miniature skirmish game set in an alternative, fantastic, XVIII century Venice. The game is called "Carnevale", and I think it is launched on the 22nd of October.

Baground Blurb on the game:

"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."

The Rashaar (race coming from the ocean floor)
Doctors of Ospedale
The Patricians
The Independent Characters

Some of the sculptors working on miniatures:
Rémy Tremblay
Jacques Alexandre Gillois
Thomas David
Angel Terol
Lee-Sang-Wook
Ivan Saturio

Patrick Masson

Yeah, me too! depending on the ruleset, ofcourse... I am pretty interested in it just on the basis on the minis so far.

Dances are an important ingredient in painting for GD.

I'll accept that.

Wow I love that Rhinoceros!

This game looks like it would totally fit AllanC's sculpting style and subject matter, shame he is not on the team.

That looks incredibly cool and I'm surprised that no one has used Venice as a setting for a game world previously. I remember walking through the alleys of Venice at night thinking it was amazingly atmospheric.
