I’m gearing up to play my first game of No More Room in Hell, by Iron Ivan Games. I figured I’d set up the table with some appropriate terrain and the majority of my zombie and survivor miniatures to see if I need more minis\u00a0and\/or terrain or less space. Plus, it’s just fun.<\/p>\n

All the zombies are from Wargames Factory, with the exception of the three or four Hasslefree zombified survivors. Survivors are from various companies. I will endeavor to identify them all in the pictures below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the table all set up. The buildings and street tiles are from World Works Games’ Streets of Mayhem sets and from Model Paper World<\/a>. The\u00a0MPW stuff is FREE! so\u00a0that’s always nice,\u00a0but the WWG stuff is awesome and more than reasonably priced. \u00a0The various vehicles were purchased at CVS in their toy aisle. They’re all made in China (surprise) and retail for about 5 bucks each, although I bought a bunch when they were on special for 2 for 1. They constantly rotate their stock so every month I usually grab one or two. Various other terrain pieces are from Armorcast (like the dumpsters), Pegasus Hobbies and JR Miniatures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Seems like the two chainsaw chicks got the same idea…raid the gun shop! One of them Is Hasslefree’s Ashley Campbell (who is actually facing off against the zombified version of herself), the other is Reaper’s Berklee, Zombie Survivor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These funkadelic survivors square off against a pack of zombie dogs, from Mississinewa Minatures. Clockwise from left to right, the survivors are Horace “Action” Jackson, Ebony Foxx and Sly Withers, all from Reaper. Out front is Delilah, from RAFM.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Father Thomas tries to ward off the shambling horde with his cross. Good thing Rex has his trusty sawed-off to back him up. Both minatures are from Reaper. The zombies come from Hasslefree, Wargames Factory and Mississinewa.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hey guys…don’t look now, but…<\/p>\n

The not-Shaun and not-Ed are both from Hasslefree: Ray and Tony, respectively. The lurking hairy zombie is from Mississinewa.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some folks just like to\u00a0stomp zombies the old-fashioned way… with their bare hands. All the Z’s are from Mississinewa. El Diablo and Butch “Killer” Davis are both from Reaper, while Tanshiro is from Hasslefree.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When do you not<\/strong> trust a couple of clowns in an ice-cream truck? When they’re zombies!!!<\/p>\n

The clowns are from Mississinewa, the rest of the Z’s are Wargames Factory.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Besieged by naked (and clothed) zombies. The naked ones are from Mississinewa. The more modest Z’s are from Wargames Factory.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another view. The Elvis clone is The Pretender, from RAFM. The fireman in his jockstrap is Mad-Dog, one of my favorite Hasslefree miniatures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sometimes it’s better to call in the pros. On the left is RAFM’s Gloria with Uzis, center is Hasslefree’s Harby, and on the right is Hasslefree’s Cobra.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not all cops protect and serve. Some are zombies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These gangers are from Bobby Jackson’s Thugz line.<\/p>\n

After a careful look at the table, I realize I’ll probably need more zombies. Good thing I still have the 40 Wargames Factory Zombie Vixens to paint, plus a few others like Reaper’s Zombie Strippers.<\/p>\n

A 6′ x 4′ table full of terrain looks great, but I’m left wondering where I’m going to roll my dice without sending buildings and miniatures flying all over the place. Maybe I’ll only use a 4′ x4′ surface and roll the dice on either side of the play area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
