Small Scenics: Mantic Terrain Crate Wizard's Tower Portal

Just a simple one for today – another model that I’ve had floating around on the desk for way too long that I finally completed – the portal from Mantic Games’ Terraincrate Wizard’s Tower.

I gave away a ton of the Terraincrate stuff from the Kickstarter that I backed, due to a combination of models that I knew I’d never paint and them being in warped, bendy PVC that I just don’t have the patience for these days (hello Reaper Bones!) – especially with Flippy here now…

I just kept a relatively small amount of the Terraincrate stuff in the end, and it’s all in the kind of “I’ll get to it when I get to it, if I get to it” range of importance. This one is one of the more interesting (to me) pieces, and as shown in these pics with the other models, I can see some potential for it in games, even as just a flavour piece with no rules attached.

That’s it for today – see you tomorrow (probably!)

Mantic Terrain Crate (Mars Attacks!): Barricades

More Mantic Terrain Crate stuff originally sourced from Mars Attacks again today – These were painted before the picket fences shown in yesterday’s post – these being painted in January and February – as with those fences, these are now available from Mantic’s various “Cityscape” sets from their modern/post-apocalyptic range.

I started cleaning these up in late 2024 with the idea to get them painted over the Christmas break into 2025, which is exactly what happened. As we’ve moved further into our campaign playing through all of of Zombicide 1st edition, including all expansions, all addons and all DLC, we got to the point of barricades a little while ago, but I only have the pair that came with one of the Kickstarters.

So since I had these, it was time to get some of them done. They’ve come up decently well in the end. I varied the colours of the various elements so they hopefully don’t immediately read as a pile of duplicated pieces. I do have a bunch more of these, but before I go near those, I’ve got a few other sculpts to paint and then mix in! In the meantime, these 14 pieces also qualify for Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 24-25.
