Good citizens of the cemetery. Mantic, West Wind and Heresy for the most part.

More to come as things wind up toward the weekend. Good thing I put in for a couple of days off.

Thanks for looking,

Mike

That going to become an impressive table and surely a hell of a game.

That is indeed a really nice cemetery. I am a guessing a big zombie hoard will emerge from that cemetery. Very, very cool!!!!

Can't wait to see this game.
What do you figure will be the size of table you will need?
Halloween is only a few days away.

Looks great but, *tick tock tick tock* will you finish in time? I would like to see a nice battle report after the game.

Today will be basing effects day. I'll be grassing bases on the minis and scattering foliage on the terrain pieces.
All the minis are painted.
I need to do a final white highlight on the mausoleums.
If I have some extra time I might paint some road section I cast up earlier.

There will most definitely be an AAR with pictures. The game store we play in is also having a Malifaux Tournement night at the same time so I'll try and get pics of that as well.

To answer some of the questions:

The large ruined church is made from Hirst Arts bricks. The mausoleums are all from Fantascene with the exception of the darker small buildings that are part of the Garden of Morr set from Games Workshop.

The fencing is also from the Garden of Morr.

The mat I'll be putting it all on is about 9 feet by 5 feet.

Alfrik - If I panned back for a long shot of my workspace there would be SAN rolls aplenty.

Thanks everybody for the comments.

Skrapwelder;

I had some pictures stored of a local abandoned cemetery.
I have started a thread that you, or anyone wanting to do a similar project may find useful.
It is here;

One of the pics as an example;

Hope this helps!

That looks like it's going to make for an awesome cemetary! Can't wait to see it finished and in use.

As promised: pictures of the finished layout just before the game. Looking at the pictures the first thing I see is that I need to get the grave placards to match the game mat color.

All in all I'm very happy with it but will continue to fine tune for a few convention games I have in mind for the coming year.

I'll post an after action report in the Weird Wars section once I finish with the resat of the photos and getting a little write up done.

Thanks for all the kind comments

Mike

It looks great for your Halloween game.
Did not realize the size of it.
Plenty of room to move figures.

That's a fine looking board you've got there. Will you be running the game with dimmed lights? A few lightning strikes and the odd rumble of thunder maybe?  ;)

My thoughts exactly. What a great lay out. Congratulations :)

Pictures don't do it justice- it was really nice impressive.

I just thought of this now- you'd mentioned having considered a backdrop- which would have been cool, but the best would have been some dry ice!  :D

What a lovely table!
 :-* :-* :-*

You have done a great job, especially in such a short period of time.
The colour of all the roofs is a great touch. It brings it all together wonderfully well.

I did not realise that those GW fencing sections were so good.
You may have just made me make my first GW purchase for some time.

Sterling work, Sir!

Great AAR :)  Love it-

I knew the swamp witch couldn't face the spirit of Tommy Atkins incarnate, UNION JACK.

Take that you hag!!!!! lol

I commanded the force led by Union Jack and can summerize our engagement thusly;

Ecountered 6 different groups of zombies, ghoulish things, the Hag and a Vampire, All killed or ran away with out a loss to the command! Also winged with, Unions Jacks pistol that uses Really Big Bullets.... the lead vampire, as it were, thus driving him off also. Not bad for a days work!
