Devil Pig Games is a board game publisher founded in 2013 by 2 childhood buddies, Yann and Clem. The beginning of the story makes us back in time to elementary school when they met together, already fans of small soldiers. At the same time, they began to create a game of confrontation with pawns seen from above!
In 2007, their first game, Frontières (Frontiers in english, never translated), was edited by Asmodée. He is the ancestor of what will later be called the Heroes System Tactical Scale, a game system that serves as a basis for their future games. The few who discovered this game many years ago were enthusiastic about it, but it will take a few years for the next chapter …
2013, the year of the creation of Devil Pig Games with Yann&Clem’ first kickstarter: Heroes of Normandie! Taking back the bases of Frontières and adding a grid on the battlefields, HoN for the fans, reverses certain habits of the wargamers by indicating all the useful informations on the play stuff: the Heroes System Tactical Scale was born! In passing, the world discovered the illustrations of Alexander Bonvalot, illustrator of the game.

[Short text by Yann & Clem]
The meeting with Yann&Clem took place during the Oliv “Magic” ‘s move. Having a lot of interest in World War II, it was with pleasure that I accepted this project a little “crazy” that is Heroes of Normandie. I started in the summer of 2013 to draw the cover of the core box, the logo and 12 heroes. Four years later, I think I have drawn more than 130 characters and I do not know how many covers!
I draw the character illustrations and covers for Heroes of Normandie, Shadows over Normandie, HoN the Card Game, Warhammer 40k Heroes ofBlack Reach and overall artistic direction at DPG: packagings, website design, posters, flyers and various communications (FB banners, slides, stickers, t-shirts …).
In short, working like a pig is an art!
