I really haven’t been painting much from the Fantasy Zombicide games over the last couple of years. I get a large Abomination done every so often, or some “3D terrain elements”, but getting to work properly on the game itself is still a ways off, as even with a somewhat renewed Zombicide focus, it’s mostly on the modern stuff. So after sitting on my painting desk for a good couple of years, and pretty inspired by the quick and easy job I got done on the Journeys in Middle Earth Siege Engines, I spotted this thing buried under some junk and decided to just get it done.

The only differences I really made to the standard playing piece was to heat-treat the rope’n’rocks so I could pull it out from inside the body of the machine and leave it on the ground alongside, and to add that ground alongside by putting it onto an oval base, from Reaper. I’m not sure what all those other ropes are for, but it’s probably best not to ask…

The now-completed model can be used in a variety of fantasy games besides Zombidie – it’ll fit into the Warhammers and AoS and LotR and Kings of War games – sure, the base is a bit smaller than standard for a lot of these, but I needed to keep that base small for the model’s primary use – Zombicide.

Using the Gondor Battlecry Trebuchet as well as Oldhammer WHFB Iron Claw Goblin Catapult (couldn’t find the goblin crew easily) show a good range of size comparison with other fantassy game war machines – so as you can see, it’s very usable.

The next item in my neverending series of Battlefield in a Box prepainted terrain reviews – the “Wartorn Village Ruined Bridge”. It’s labelled as 25-35mm terrain, but I think it does still work well enough at 15mm, as you’ll see down the page.

Box packaging is prety standard for these sets – the bridge is wrapped in bubble wrap inside the box.

The bridge itself looks pretty decent. As usual with these sets, it could use a little bit of dust and dirt added, as well as a bit of greenish moss underneath due to it being a bridge.

And here we see it mated to the Wartorn Village Cobblestone Road set I reviewed recently As we can see, it fits with the roads perfectly.

Let’s see how it goes alongside some 15mm Flames of War tanks. It looks pretty good, I think. Sure, the bricks of the bridge are giant slabs in comparison, but it still reads fine to me.

And with a selection of Space Marines it also looks fine if you’re wondering how this stuff would look with 40k (or AoS) scaled models. A Dreadnought on a 60mm base fits on it just fine.

Lastly, here’s the bridge with the more realistically-scaled 25-28mm Lord of the Rings SBG games. As you can see, the slight scale change from 40k doesn’t make a difference, and these fantasy models perfectly fit with this little bridge.

At reader request, I’ve taken a pic showing the size of this bridge, both with a compact disc (It’s much bigger!) and also a tape measure with both Inches and Cenitimetres. This bridge is just over 6″ long, or about 5 1/2 cm.
