Theme Packs?

[Cyril]

Hi everyone,
wow.. lots of good suggestions here. You know, you should forbid Nik to reply when such questions are asked... He tends to eat all the pie and leave nothing for the others

Yet, I guess an inspiration that could drag lots of people would be the all-time classic: "Return of the Witch Lord" expansion for MB's Hero Quest.
Let's see:
- miniatures:
|- some undead minions,
|- a big bad "witch lord" that can be the skeleton hero, a vampire, a zombie wizard or why not an undead centaur ?
|- his guards (I WANT the big skeletons )
|- may be the big crucified "iron maiden" mummy acting like the undead version of a sphinx
|- I like the side kicks idea. Maybe another hero ? (any pack should include a "guest star hero" )

- some more furniture:
|- a coffin 
|- a crate of skulls
|- some remains
|- a wizard table + a chair
(of course even though I say "a", I'd prefer "some" )

- maybe some more rooms + doors
I tend to prefer little rooms as big rooms often feel empty unless you have a ton of furniture.

Oops - sorry 'bout that

As requested by Leon.

'Island of the Savage Queen'. Complete with scantily clad amazons and their Queen, and maybe the odd dinosaur, great ape or other jungle animal. And a band of pirates/explorers/seamen to fall into their evil clutches. Or not.

Pirates (depending on time-frame) from ECW/FIW ranges?
Explorers/seamen from the Boers, or the SCW ranges?

To get you all in the right mood...

This instantly made me think of the fabulous Ray Harryhausen Sinbad movies - so throw in an option for be-turbaned, scimitar-wielding protagonists too.

Ratmen......  yes, without a doubt Ratmen  

Yeah you`ve guessed it. Ratties are my latest wish list craze. I was looking through a few dusty old copies of White Dwarf from the mid 1990`s and was blown away by just how atmospheric and cool looking the GW Skaven looked back then; and the story mythos behind them was fascinating and very dark.

Yesssssss!!! 10mm Ratmen would be Ssssoooo Sweeeeeeet!!!! *hisssssss*

Six

PS: (UPDATE) okay, first batch ordered    I`ve seen them; Failed (my willpower dice roll), and now they will conquer!!! I simply have to have an entire horde of these critters gracing my tables.

There is another one which I'm about to start, Wolfstein or Spear of Destiny. I already have wolfes and german troopers but I'm still missing one figure of Adolf Hitler and one werewolf or two.

Now that, right there, is one of the best gaming ideas I've heard in a very long time...

I want to see pics of this one...ah, nostalgia!

Right now I'm looking for tiny nazi flags to stick to the walls
BTW, do you know if the is any German officer with the classic cavalry pants and officer cap (like that plastic one from Matchbox) in the WWII German range?
Also, do you know if there are any British airborne troopers with berets instead of helmets? I wish there were British commandos...

[nikharwood]

Commandos =BR107

Excellent news! Thank you
Can you tell me something about the German officer?

Without looking at figures [which are out in the garage & I'm being distracted by a nice Single Malt] I reckon you'd do well to look at:

GR162 Rommel & Ramcke
GR213 Officers, Early War

[blacksmith]

I was thinking of GR213 Officers, Early War.
Cheers!

No worries - here's the DAK fellas:

Awesome!!!

Nik's list, plus the other good suggestons like a 'Heroes pack' pretty much cover the first release schedule Leon.  

My copy is still in the ether but once it arrives i'll no doubt be writing 'adventures'.

So it occurs that combining 'adventure modules' with all the figures/scenery, etc. needed to play it might be an interesting development?
