Club Scenery

[Stuart]

Continued from here...

Regarding scenery, maybe we could have an 'everyone make a hedge/fence' month, or 'who can make the best crater/ruin/wood?!' week, with some simple guides on how to make it posted online and with the proviso that anything made goes to the club. Or perhaps we could have a day (if funds allow) where people bring in a (fairly decent, complete and painted) piece of scenery in return for free admission that night? That way we could get rid of some of the squashed cardboard scenery and move to some more decent stuff.

I second the view of club terrain, I like the idea of a night where anyone who brings in a good size and quality piece of terrain gets a free entry, but if club funds couldn't stretch to the whole club getting free entry, maybe stagger it to 40k one night and WM another, WFB another and Necrom another etc etc, this way the dent on the funds might be lessened somewhat?

But then comes the issue of storage, I think we have a good amount of terrain at present (some tables on busy nights can be shooting galleries), but it's getting battered in the those low level boxes, I think some larger boxes might be a good investment.

A solution that's been proposed for the storage of scenery is to invest in some flat boxes, each of which will contain a "theme" for a particular table. In that way most of the scenery required for a given table is stored in a single box, and can be requested when booking a table. I think the benefit of the flat boxes is that there's less inclination to stack pieces on top of each other.

So ideally we'll end up with themed boxes of industrial, city-scape, jungle, desert, fantasy village, and perhaps some 40K themes along the lines of Tau, chaos, etc. The entire box can then be taken straight to the table, which should hopefully make packing away a bit easier as well.

The monthly "scenery creation themes" are a good idea (Gaz suggested something along the same lines).
