Marvel Crisis Protocol Terrain: Dumpsters, Street Lights & Traffic Lights PLUS Mantic Terrain Crate Bins

Marvel Crisis Protocol Terrain: Dumpsters, Street Lights & Traffic Lights PLUS Mantic Terrain Crate Bins

Continuing with the month’s overall theme of Dave Stone’s current Season of Scenery Challenge we have a lot of smaller terrain pieces from the Marvel Crisis Protocol Core Set as well as a few extra pieces from Mantic.

Marvel Crisis Protocol Terrain: Dumpsters

First up we have another pair of Crisis Protocol Dumpsters. This pair is from my second Core Box that I picked up as it was on sale and not terribly more than picking up the NYC Terrain Box set, but also had the benefits of extra dice, rulers and a second set of figures to play with. I painted the initial pair of Dumpsters back in 2020, so I’m hopeful that I’ll finally get my shit together soon and be able to have a game with a fully painted set.

I also found the initial pair of Traffic Lights that I’d partly base coated, got the newer pair up to speed and then completed the four of them. Credit to Jay Adan for his downloadables that made my life easier in terms of the stop-go people and the “instructions” on them.

I also finished the single Rubbish Bin and the Street Lights from my second set. I’m pretty sure I painted the original Rubbish Bin in the past as well, but I’m not going to go searching for the link to it. These Mantic Bins used to be called “Mars Attacks” scenery, and that’s how mine were purchased as well as listed the last time I posted them but given that this particular licence has long expired and that the same terrain pieces still continue to be sold today as part of the Terrain Crate range, it only makes sense for me to call them that here. The previous bins were painted green, as “Rubbish Bins” while I went for yellow on this second set, which are more in line with how public “Recycling Bins” look around these parts.

To wrap up, here’s a few models providing us with scale – We’ve got Reaper’s Berkeley, a Zombicide figure, a Primaris Marine and Crossbones from Marvel Crisis Protocol.

Marvel Crisis Protocol Terrain: Dumpsters and Street Lights

Continuing with the recent themes of dumpsters and large, square metal boxes, today I’m showing the first four bits of terrain from Marvel Crisis Protocol that I’ve painted. These also wrap up my September posts with the Round-up to follow very shortly. I’d managed to resist the game, but a series of articles by Justin over at The Solo Meeple as he painted his way through his collection slowly turned me over a few months from indifference to very interested – and then when I looked around online it turned out that pretty much all of the feedback for the game was quote positive through different review channels that I follow on YouTube, forums like Dakka and Reddit, and now they have an impending release of The Punisher and several of the X-Men

It also tied in with the thoughts of using some Zombie models to play something like Last Days, and then a box magically appeared in my house, fileld with Marvel Goodies! What else could I do but put all of the hero and villain models to one side and start assembling the terrain pieces…?

The mentality there is “saving” the best for last… With a complete lack of heroes to stand alongside, we once again have a Hasslefree model that absolutely is not of Simon Pegg to provide us with some size reference, alongside one of those Mantic bins…
