EVENTS: GW Halloween Spooktacular

Many GW stores in the US will be having special events this coming Friday evening, October 31. Events range from open mini-games with names like "Chopping Mall" and "Streets of the Dead" to conversion and costume contests. Some of the mini-games allow players to convert up a WYSIWYG miniature to represent themselves in the game. These games often have Halloween related themes, like halting a zombie invasion. Some game events and contests have prizes. If trick-or-treating is not your bag, you might want to check out the activities at your local GW store this Halloween and join in the fun there. Note that some stores are carrying their Halloween events into the weekend as well.

Here's a peek at the miniature I threw together last night for the "Streets of the Dead" game this coming Friday at the GW store. It still needs some clean-up on the sculpting and a coat of paint, but it will give you an idea of the fun you can have with these types of conversion contests and open games. I'll bet someone out there can guess what movie trilogy is my favorite after seeing this picture.


More information on GW store events is available at GW online. I attended the Halloween events at a GW store last year and it was quite the fun-filled evening so I'm really looking forward to this year's events as well. To all our readers, have a fun, happy and safe Halloween.

With luck I'll have some pictures and a report for you on the events at my favorite local GW store some time after Friday.
