Terrain Party

Quote :

**Really when we get more than 2 games going in any of the stores ,unless Sean is there, terrain is at a premium and the left overs are pretty crappy. I know that Yotta is good at providing terrain because they have a good gaming group that helps them out but for 40k boards they really can only supply 2 maybe light terrrain on the 3rd, and Eric has offered some boards to make some at Sci-Fi. without all the other things board is just one key. I know during a years time I spend enough money on my hobbies and really dont want to put more in to supplying a store with terrain also. Dennis and I already donated 2 boxes at WOHG which was slowly destroyed, what we did salvage from them after it closed was donated to Sci-Fi by way of CJ. Anyway the point I am trying to make is that we all spend enough on the product in the stores without having to supply it with things to play on also.

Don't get me wrong I appreciate all the stores and the area's they provide us to play, but maybe finding some middle ground for both players and stores in getting better terrain would be nice.

Ya know, (not to put you on the spot-)
BUT
YQ and even ACME (in it's early days) hosted Terrain Parties

Shop owners woud buy the Lunch (Pizza burgers what have you)

Everybody chips in like $6-10
Bring in your Big Bits Box
buy a sack/bottle of static grass, a sheet or two of insulator foam, some "Mistake " latex paint from Home Depot and modeling putty
bring in cutters and knives
and starts making hills and sceenery

I don't have the talent or resource of somebody like Foobar or Jon G-
but hell
with the combined talent you folks have been showing off over the last 3 months especially
I know some great usable stuff can be made and there would be plenty to go around to your store of choice...

yeah?

like i posted on the make a date section... im planning on bringing what i have to sci fi on monday... anyone who wants to come with/help make let me know...

I'd be willing to help, but most of my weeks are taken up, I usually can only do gaming stuff on weekends. But, that being said, if the roads are good tomorrow I will be at SciFi. I'd be willing to use some of my time to help out with this, as I have a crap load of bitz (even extra bits from Cities of Death) and could bring them and my tools.

Actually, scratch that, if the weather isn't impassible, I will bring my stuff tomorrow, and will continue work on building my tourney army, and if no one shows up for a game, I will start working on some terrain bits.

Also, if someone wants to help me cover the costs, I could even donate the two Cities of Death models that I've been working on (the Manufactorium that I posted in the WIP and the Imperialis one I just bought not too long ago) to SciFi so that Matt's Imperial building isn't the only big piece of scenery at SciFi that's actually painted and what not. If anybody would be interested in helping me with this, let me know.

Those wo bins underneath our tables still has some raw marteroals kind opf stuff that has not yet been converted into interesting looking terrain.

Also, from time to time I've brought odd bits of things in and contributed to those bins if I thought someone more creative/artistic than I could turn iut into a bit of terrain.

Cool! I will definitely bring my supplies tomorrow then... I may bring paints to use, but not sure if I want to lug it all there.... I'll have to figure out a good way to transport them....

Hey, that is Matt and John's big building. While Matt gets full credit on the other bunkers and such that match it, I totally helped assemble that bad boy (although he painted)

I'll try to swing by as well, depending on if the Fantasy campaign gets together.

Haha, yup John did help on that one!

That was a pretty successful building day... we need more terrain!

Yes MORE TERRAIN I can't keep buying the GW stuff very expensive...

We definitely need to organize a terrain day for CAG

I've got a boatload of stuff for a Terrain day.

Well if you can make it on saturday bring it along!
