 Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 2:09 pm Post subject: October 40K Halloween Event Idea |
 |
|
EDIT: We're now shooting for THIS October, 2014.
I'd like to run a Halloween-themed 40K Apocalypse game this October. This would feature various things, such as...
Halloween terrain: Graveyard, Haunted House, Spooky Forest, etc.
Classic Universal Monsters: Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolfman, the Mummy, etc. The monsters would be split between the teams.
Tricks and Treats. One-use things that hinder the other team (tricks) or boost your team (treats).
Costume Points: You get bonus Victory Points for coming in costume.
Is anyone interested in playing in this event?
Is anyone interested in helping me put this together and run it?

Awesome. Are you going to be at the Game Parlor this Saturday? We can discuss ideas then.

Sign you up to play, volunteer to make stuff and help run the event, or both?

Play for sure, but I'd be happy to help do stuff before hand.

Ok. I need a line on where to get minis for the Classic Universal Monsters. Any ideas?

Reaper Minis. No questions. If you can think of it, they probably have a mini for it. They have some nice mummies, werewolves, and vampires.
They're also cheap.

I'll look into it. Thanks.
What about building a graveyard? I'm thinking foam core tombstones and walls, static grass, some dead trees, and zombie hands reaching up.

Check the Reaper Bones line. Dirt cheap and still good quality once you get then set the way you want.
As to terrain, the Garden of Moor box from GW is really friggin nice. It is an old world style vs 40k, but beautiful for the cost.

The Garden of Morr looks quite nice, but it also looks rather small. How much space does it cover?

That would be great, thanks.
Ashley, are you going to be at the Game Parlor on Saturday? We can discuss ideas, then I'll email what we come up with to Kevin to get his input.

Excellent. Thanks, Phil.
It looks like between some stuff I've already picked up from Michaels, the gravestones from Renedra, and possibly the Garden of Morr, we should have the graveyard covered.
That leaves the Spooky Wood and Haunted House to tackle. Plus anything else we come up with.

Just duct tape her to your back while you rummage through your stuff. 
The Mantic Gravestalkers kit looks perfect. Not only the gravestones, but also the zombies and ghouls.
Also, I just check Reaper, and I can order Dracula, the Wolfman, Frankenstein's Monster, and the Mummy for around $25. Excellent.

I can put together a spooky table with spooky forests and graveyards.
