Over the last three or four weeks, I've been working on a new game for our group The Mummy. It will have a better title when it's closer to done. The plan is to have a campaign of Mummy adventures during 2011.
Finally I've got something to show so here is Hamunaptra, City of the Dead.
An overview of the ruins:

I'll be doing some new Mummies before we get gaming on this lot.
All the scenery bits are based on old CDs, here is most of them:

I added a couple more after this shot was taken.
And here to stop the cultists and others from releasing The Mummy, the Medjai:
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-medjai-1.jpg)
Finally for now, the first stand of the Egyptologist's camp, there is another stand of supplies that needs painting and I've got to build a couple of tents to finish the campsite off.
(http://revford.co.uk/images/scenery-egypt-camp-1.jpg)
Most of the scenery is cast from plaster, using Hirst Arts Molds, the Medjai are from Artizan and The Mummy is from Foundry. Most of the large statues were picked up from a charity shop.
I'll update this thread with progress as I get more of the scenery and minis finished, and some game reports once we get playing.
-
Thats looking rather grand, look forward to seeing more.
-
I would love to be involved in a gaming project like this. A genre that really interests me.
Very Very cool and please post more as you move on with it.
-
Really nice looking. I was struck by the fact that you got most of your Egyptian artifacts from a charity shop. I got most of mine from the fish tank section of a pet store that was going out of business. Whatever works and yours does.
-
I'm just going to come out and say I will be copying your camp idea: it's awesome!
-
That's a very good looking table so far!
The HA blocks are a lot of fun to build with, our communal game club purchased molds have created some very nice stuff for us. (about eight of us clubbed together and bought five or six molds)
-
Who's been a busy boy then? An impressive amount there, looking forward to seeing this next year sometime in october ;)
-
sweet!! I like the standar use of cd as scenery base, that should help storage a lot, isn't it?
i think i will grab some idea for my own egypt board ::)
-
Nice one Gav, that looks aces. 8) I fancied making something similar myself but didn't get quite this far with mine.
I think you might need a bigger board though, if you're going to keep adding to the scenery pile. ;)
-
Cheers everyone, my cunning plan is to post progress here to make sure I stay motivated and get it finished.
Here is a quick work in progress shot of the rest of the campsite.

Most of our jungle came from a pet shop, it's amazing all the stuff you can find in those places.

We're up to nine in our collection now, it's fiendishly addictive that molds habbit.

I'm not sure if this lot will be the game for October, BLAM inspired the whole crew so everyone is off putting different games together. We'll see which one works out best and bring that one. :)
I think you might need a bigger board though, if you're going to keep adding to the scenery pile. ;)
In those pictures we have the 2' board for .45 Adventure and the 3' for bigger battles. I do have a plan for a 4' board, but we start to get space issues with too many players and a board that big in my flat.
-
Great stuff!
-
Looks groovey, man. Thanks for sharing!
-
this looks awesome!
I really need to pull my finger out and do something decent like this myself.
-
Hi Rev, nice table.
I think it looks too much the same colour. Mabe you can break it up a bit if the terrain pieces are of a different color.
cheers
Björn

Brilliant Gav. I think the almost monochrome effect is what makes it work so well. Very nicely done :)

The plan is to keep the natural, dead and ancient parts of the board in the same colours, but the modern and living parts in darker or brighter contrast colours, so they look like invaders, really out of place.
So the Mummies will be in sepia-ish bandages, but the Medjai, the geezers who are out to stop the Mummy, are in dark blue.
The Mummy's Cultists will be in sand coloured robes, so show they are part of the ancient world, but with red accents to hint they are alive and from the modern age.

New poster here, in a very Dr Nick Riviera style "Hi every body".
I'm working on something similar myself but in an urban setting - trying to build something that looks at least a little like these:

Nice looking project.

Welcome aboard. :)
Could be very cool, be sure and post up your progress.
I've made some progress over the last few weeks. The campsite is completed and I've got a dozen plastic palm trees glued to bases. With luck I'll get some pictures posted up tomorrow.
-

The completed campsite.
Not sure if the tents need a drybrush of sand colour or not. I wanted them to stand out, but at the moment the colour makes them look maybe too out of place?
-
Very Nice. I found that masking tape was handy for canvas. I went for a sun bleached look for my tents.

I remember that board, beautiful dig site.
I'll have to try masking tape as canvas texture, I can see how that would work. Top tip.
-
Fantastic work. The terrain is inspired and makes me think straight back to the movie.
Did you decide on which Miniatures to use and the rules?
Happy Gaming,
Allan

Just stumbled upon this and I think it is great. I'm planning on starting a Egyptian project based on the Mummy films and this is great inspiration!
I was just wondering what paints were used to do the figure bases?
-
Sorry about the massive delay in replying, I've been a bit ill. I'll be back to updating this as I start making progress again.
Did you decide on which Miniatures to use and the rules?
I've picked up my Mummies now, from West Wind.
Rules will be a version of our Zombies game, which is a simplified version of Legends of the Old West from GW.
I was just wondering what paints were used to do the figure bases?
Paints wise all the bases were painted Chocolate Brown, then drybrushed with Sand, both from Anita's.

Finally a bit more progress. The Mummies themselves. All from the Gothic Horror range by West Wind.

Looking good :)

Our teams of adventurers:
The Fezmen
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-fezmen-1.jpg)
The Soldiers
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-dak-1.jpg)
The Medjai
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-medjai-2.jpg)
The Americans
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-americans-1.jpg)
Each of the four teams is trying to complete a ritual and take control of The Mummy, either to take over the world, save the world or just to loot his tomb, fighting their way past the Mummy Priests and each other on the way.
Miniatures from Artizan, Copplestone and Foundry.

Good looking figures.
Am looking forward to reading more about your adventures.
Had to laugh at the first photo of the mummies.
It looked like they are dancing. :)

Now that is an idea for a scenario, can our plucky Heroes win a dance off against the Mummies?

Very nice and look forward to some game pictures and report :)

Hopefully I'll get a game report posted soon. We've been a bit rubbish at remembering to take pictures while playing.

Looks beautiful! I wish you lived near me so I could play!

Cheers, I'll try and keep you entertained with pictures and reports.
Game report time. These pics were taken a while ago and feature different Soldiers, it was before I'd painted the current pair. Some of the photos are a bit blurry, but I've tried to pick out the best ones and all the main events of the game.
As we join the action, the Medjai have arrived at Hamunaptra to warn the Americans not to disturb the sands for fear of freeing the creature.
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-game-1-01.jpg)
But the forces of evil have arrived, the dreaded Fezmen and European treasure hunter Baron Von Explodenstein.
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-game-1-02.jpg)
The heroes act quickly to secure the treasures of Egypt from the Villains, Dick rushes to the nearest clue to see what he can find. While the Medjai give covering fire.
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-game-1-03.jpg)
The cunning Fezmen lurk at the base of the Pyramid. Von Explodenstein takes cover and sends his greedy henchman to rush out and investigate the clue.
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-game-1-04.jpg)
Dick and Henchman came up empty. Neither could decipher their clue.
Ellie decides to make a run for the quiet end of the City of the Dead.
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-game-1-05.jpg)
Heroes and Villains exchange fire while Von Explodenstein enters the Pyramid to check another clue.
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-game-1-06.jpg)
No luck at all for team Von Explodenstein, Henchman is killed by a Medjai rifle and the clue turned out to be worthless.
Things continue to go badly for the Von Explodenstein, Dick wings him with pistol fire just as he reached the next clue.
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-game-1-07.jpg)
Ellie meanwhile has cleaned up, finding both Treasures.
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-game-1-08.jpg)
Dick and the Baron get stuck in to some fisticuffs, giving the Fezman a chance to slip past and go chasing Ellie.
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-game-1-09.jpg)
The Fezman shoots and wounds Ellie, but is shot and killed in return by the Medjai. Meanwhile Dick knocks out the Baron taking him out of the fight.
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-game-1-10.jpg)
It's not looking good for the forces of evil, just one Fezman remains and his Thompson jams!
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-game-1-11.jpg)
Ellie is almost back to camp with the loot. When the Medjai realise what's going on, those dastardly Americans are trying to get away with the treasure themselves!
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-game-1-12.jpg)
The Medjai finish off the last Fezman.
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-game-1-13.jpg)
And take Dick prisoner.
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-game-1-14.jpg)
Just as Ellie heads back to town with the Loot.
(http://revford.co.uk/images/pulp-mummy-game-1-15.jpg)
Ellie plans to trade the artefacts with the Medjai for Dick's safe return. But leaving the city with the treasure she has disturbed it's ancient guardians...

Looks like it was a very exciting and fun game.
It's really cool when every thing is done and you can finally run a game.
May I ask what rules you used.
I am looking at .45 Adventure or Strange Aeons as rules to play with.
-
Cheers.
The rules are our own mish-mash set, based on chunks of Legends of the Old West and .45 Adventure.
You can't go wrong with .45 Adventure, it's a great game. We've not tried Strange Aeons yet.
