I was walking around in Michael's craft store today while getting new tires on my car. They already had some Halloween stuff out. I found these prepainted gargoyles, skull piles, and tombstones. The gargoyles and tombstones were in a pack of 5 and the skull piles was in a pack of 3. They were 4.99, 2.99, and 1.99 respectivly. Here is a picture with a marro drone for scale(although a bit poor quality, taken from a camera phone). I think they look pretty cool and not too expensive either.

That looks pretty cool! Looks great for a graveyard scenario with the Vampires! (And Zombies, Shades, Seduma, Rechets) A graveyard scenario would be awesome!

I have those Gargoyles and the gravestones. Have to look for the skull piles although they aren't as cool as the other stuff. Neat stuff though. Good add-on.

Or, better yet, try Michaels (http://www.michaels.com/art/online/search?pageNumber=1&channel=0&search=yes&type=0&searchWords=lemax+%2Bhalloween).

Skull piles. Tombstones. DROOL.
Perfect for atmosphere on the "spooky" part of my semi-permanment and expanding map.

Definately looks like something I'd love to pick up... Maybe I should convince my artist/'scaper friend to actually do some custom terrian once in a while.

I know this is a bit of a Thread Necro but I just saw some of these tombstones at Michael's and picked them up after I remembered this post.
For a little Extra Information:
The designs are exclusive to Michael's
They are part of a set called 2010 Spooky Town Collection
They have a new item called the Creepy Faceless Goul that would be good for Customs http://www.michaels.com/online/product/DisplayEnlargedImage.jsp?imageName=sc1242.jpg .

Yes, 'tis the season to visit Michael's! All sorts of creepy, mostly cheap little stuff...

I never saw this thread before today, but I got a laugh out of it.

I bought all those last year, when they started marking them down to 50% off.

That's great to hear. To be honest I was worried that they would be a little fragile.

I grabbed them a few year back too they work great!! I had waited until Holloween was over and got them for $.50 per package. Be sure to check around Christmas too for realistic trees.

I too picked mine up on clearance. I also picked up some coffins and caskets from the same line.

I think this particular thread is worth getting the "Zombies Rise Again" treatment because Michaels re-releases this terrain every year around this time, and sometimes adds a few cool new pieces. It's good to call it to the attention of people who might not know.

I got 2 packs of the tombstones from my local craft shop. I use them all the time, and not just for 'Scape.

Inspired by this thread, I ordered some of those. Since the order has yet to ship ( I ordered last night), I have no comment on the reliability of that shop. They are however linked from the Lemax website, so they should be fine :)

That is a pretty nice collection of stuff you just bought. I have seen many of them at the store but a few of them I had not seen before. Let us know how they all work out size wise once you get the order. I may order a few of them at some point if they match up with heroscape figures well. If you like what you got and are looking for more, I did pick up a well from them that turned out great after a little repainting. It was in one of the normal town sections, rather then the spooky town area.

i have a faceless ghoul, it has the perfect sized base, its about 6-7 hieght, im thinkin for a card: dark void: faceless ghoul disappears on shadow tiles, faceless ghoul can also move 4 extra spaces on shadow tiles. dark vapor: faceless ghoul can move through objects(trees, ruins, other tiles) as long as he finishes his move on a tile.

We went today (50% Labor Day cupon!) but only picked up the Lemax gravestones. The faceless ghoul is nice, but would have to be a large or huge figure.
We did find these cheapie little hex-shaped boxes that hold glyphs perfectly...they have loose lids (not hinged.) SKU 328256 - Wood Shaped Box with Lid.

The torch thingies are actually flickering slowly :P I will possibly glue them onto tiles and make the wire go through them, so I can better use them.
All in all, the thingies are very shiny :) I'm happy.
I saw the well, though I thought that it might be a bit to big. This one is also nice, but a bit large: http://www.lemaxvillages.com/servlet/the-2689/Haunted-Fountain/Detail
