Spooky Miniatures

[MarkusTay]

I don\'t know if any of you collect Christmas minis, like Dept. 56. I have a huge collection of them and set up a town every year. Last year I noticed several companies are starting to produce Halloween minis, and I\'ve been thinking about starting up a Halloween town as well. Last year I picked up a few small pieces to use as D&D terrain, and I like them so much I might just go all out this year. Check out The Lemax Collection. They\'ve got some pretty cool stuff, but the Torture Factory and the ghost ship are my favorites.

Both of those pieces light up and makes spooky sounds, and the gears on the factory actually turn! If you use the above link and browse their site, they have a littl video of the Torture Factory, or you can just click Here. The buildings are actually way out of scale to their figures, but are the perfect scale for 28-35mm minis! I bought some of the docks from their Christmas collection just to do a diorama (eventually) with my Cryx Undead Pirates. I think that ship would look very cool up against those docks.

Also, all of their trees make perfect terrain for Wargames, and are quite a bit cheaper then GW or other companies. Especially since Walmart carries a small amount of their product every year.

Just thought I share my love of another kind of mini with you all.

sorry about the double post, but where are the docks?

You have to dig around in the site. If you click on \'Category\' at the top, then \"Accessories: Nautical\" you\'ll find them Here.

Or you could just click on that link I just gave you. They have several collections under \'themes\', and they are all worth taking a look at. These are the docks I have -

There are two others too, along with a boatlaod of other stufff I want (pun intended).

Hey, MT!

Yeah, I have one of their docks and some other stuff that came out useful, like crates, barrels, and piles of firewood.

Their stuff is a little more spendy than I want, but after Xmas sales rock!
lol

It\'s about time they had a website. When I first discovered these gems about 2-3 years ago, they didn\'t. I searched frantically on the web to no avail. Yay!

Picked this stuff up last night

The only place by me that has Halloween stuff out is Stop & Shop, a super-market of all places, but they have a few of the Lemax items and I picked these up -

I really like the cemetary gates, and the shovel by the tree, and a coffin sitting to the right of it, is perfectly in scale for 28-35mm. The pile of skulls on the right side are a bit large, but if I can always say they\'re ogre skulls (it is OUR fantasy, after all). I paid about $20 for all this, not to shabby. Can\'t wait untill all the stores have their stuff out!
