....ARABIN!



Congratulations, Arabin! Please PM me with your choice of model set, and I'll have Bob get it to you asap.

Thanks to everyone for your submissions - next time we'll have a bit more planning going into it, and hopefully a bit more time for your creations to be made.

Woot!!! I wasn't expecting that... but I'm very happy. Thanks all.

Now which set to pick up... that's the question. Probably one of the fantasy sets I've been eyeing up, since almost all of my purchases are the modern and sci-fi... usually on the day of release.

Anyway, thanks again. I'll PM you shortly Aubrey

Congrats Arabin

Heh. I should have thought of Last Train to Clarkesville....

The Auld Grump

Hi all,

Not sure where this question about the Mayhem Rail set goes, but this thread will do.

So I was putting together the new trains and it looks like the pedestrian overpass from Mayhem streets is too low to accommodate the Mayhem train cars. Is it me or wasn't the train designed to fit underneath?

The looks great and I can't wait to get my train up and running.

PS - As one of the people who buys and converts your product for use with Heroclix I applaud the effort that went into the "Movement guide for 1.5" players" that came with the Mayhem Downtown. Unfortunately this really doesn't make the set (as is) any more HeroClix friendly. Movement really isn't the issue with your half squares and off set squares. Drawing a clean line of fire from across the map is the main problem and the movement guide doesn’t really address that. Drawing LOF across two or more buildings that have wonky offset squares can end creating a LOF that actually bends or twists and it is difficult to count range. Using the terrain (with modification) just makes the game too confusing. If you really want to sell to HeroClix (and HorrorClix) fans, please eliminate the half squares on future products.

Well I've just build my first vagon and a few ramps...but my question is - Where will you (the people who build it) put the ramps ¿¿?? there is no tile for it...and I don't know wich one will be the best to use of the various of the Streets set... maybe in the concrete from Bits of mayhem ¿¿?? Any recomendation ? (where was build in the pictures ¿?)

Bayushi -

Are you talking about the ramps for the train platforms? If so, I personally never attach any terrain to the tiles themselves. I plan to build the ramps and platforms and just place them on my layout between parallel train tracks (which run the entire width of my table).

If you are talking about the pedestrian overpass from Streets, Just place it anywhere over a road or rail on the map.

I haven't had a chance to build anything since I moved, so I still haven't tried out this set (though I bought it on launch day). It is a shame to hear that the train doesn't fit under the overpass and that does change the build I have planned. Then again, it provides two options:

1) Since it's not a working train set, it's possible that noone would notice, unless you plan to position the train under the overpass...

2) Kitbash! If it becomes necesary, then someone could create a kitbash raising the height of the overpass a little. I have plans to modify the overpass anyway for the layout I have in mind... so when I get time, I will look at this as well.
