I'm sure that even with the extra zombies I'm painting and the others I
still have waiting in the wings, I'll still run short during games. Mum and Dad asked if there were any other small bits I might like for
Christmas and I suggested a few items from the fantastic range of bits
that
eM-4 miniatures have available.

| Lots of goodies... |
I now have lots and lots of D8s and D10s for Tomorrow's War / Force on Force, thus enabling me to roll attack and defence dice at the same time rather than having to constantly re-roll 5 or 6 D8s/D10s, hoping that I can remember what was rolled the first time to compare against!

| Scary! |
I also have a bag of 50 red counters and 20 red pawns as pseudo-zombies.
 |
| Not so scary (but rather unnerving nevertheless) |
The pawns can stand in for individual zombies where required.
 |
| Not at all scary |
I'm thinking of using the counters in a similar way to blips in space
hulk, marking 1, 2 or 3 zombies underneath (and maybe the occasional "false alarm") to add to the tension of the
game.

| A worryingly large amount of potential scare! |
There's nothing quite like having a lot of dice. One of my friends bought out the stock of polyhedrals when the local game store went under. Sifting through them all is both a pain and a pleasure. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, you can never have too many...
DeleteNothing quite as scary as the enemy you don´t know. Keeping tension in zombiegames with blip counters is a great idea, consider it stolen :)
ReplyDeleteIt's something I've always liked about Space Hulk!
