Decorate The Post-Apocalypse With Mantic’s Terrain Crate
July 16, 2020 by brennon
Mantic Games are going to be releasing their new wave of Terrain Crate options soon for those who are in search of ways to decorate your Post-Apocalyptic tabletops. These would, of course, be good matches for the likes of The Walking Dead, but you could use them across a range of games.
Terrain Crate Hospital // Mantic Games
This new range of pre-coloured (still needs painting) plastic terrain is going to be broken down into a number of different themes which you'll see present in these images here. You will have access to terrain which will help you make Hospitals, Malls, Offices, Warehouses and Campsites.
Terrain Crate Mall // Mantic Games
As you can see, there is quite a lot of fun terrain here for you to play around with. As well as standard things like furniture you've also got fun little additions like the clothing racks, ATMs and in the case of the Hospital set, the operating shelf where samples have been taken from a terrifying zombie or two.
Terrain Crate Campsite // Mantic Games
Pre-Orders for this range go live on Friday so you'll be able to pick up just what you need from the collection and add it to your terrain haul. I think this is a superb idea from Mantic Games and we've been constantly impressed by what they've done in the past when it comes to Terrain Crate. Their Fantasy options, in particular, are great for those setting up quick tabletops.

You could move away from using these kits for Post-Apocalyptic games and even use them for something Modern too. Since these kits reflect our real world, they would be a nice addition to games like Spectre Operations and such where you want things looking as realistic as possible.
Now, you just need to come up with cunning scenarios to match these different sets and use the terrain as much as possible.
What do you think?

Might have a use for the abandoned factory set… assuming we ever get to game around a table… using terrain via Skype is just not fun.
Looks awesome. The bits that when making your own scatter terrain you can’t quite make well enough. Definitely on the Christmas list. ?
It’s great to see a company making some unique terrain pieces instead of the ubiquitous cargo containers and barriers.
it doesn’t even scratch the surface of what’s coming https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/manticgames/terraincrate-2-crate-expectations
there’s a ton more stuff coming, I’ll be grabbing it all as I missed the Kickstarter, but definitely nice to see scatter terrain that isn’t more boxes and rubble…although there are boxes and rubble as well ^^
Thanks Avernos for the heads up. You are right that’s an impressive choice of terrain
At the very least I’d make great use of that factory kit. Yes please!
I was a backer of this on Kickstarter. I received my rewards the other day, and they are top notch. Even better the first series of Fantasy terrain they produce. The plastic is much harder, better details, and so much less warping. I was a huge fan of the fist series, but these are even better. There are other “modern” sets, then the ones shown here, as well. Gothic Manor pieces, cemetary, a park, a church set, and an abandoned cabin. Lots of the pieces are modern, however alot of pieces can still be used in D&D or other fantasy… Read more »
This is quite good news, because I have some interest in these Terrain Crates, but I have been extremely dissapointed in the previous ones I bought (medieval market square) : the market stalls were wrapped beyond repair. However I tried to put them back into shape, they would come back to their first position. It feels I’ve wasted around 40€… I’ve found a last method, which I’ll call the “Last Chance”. After that, I’ll throw them away… They’re completely useless…
The Market Stalls where perhaps the biggest offenders when it can to warping. Mine where badly warped as well, I was forced to give them the hot water bath treatment. That fixed things for me on every one, save one.
That one I just made a “rug” from plasticard and permanently glued the legs of the piece in place.
Never throw away anything, there is always some way to use it. Good luck
Painting the cemetery and church pieces.
* Cemetery fences were slightly warped, and mold lines were a pain to scrape off.
* Intact church chairs were warped, and a pain to un-warp. Gave up on them, so went with slightly warped.
* Cemetery gate slightly warped, but fixed.
I dunno the best way to find out which pieces are warped and which will be a PITA to remove the mold lines from, other than asking on forums for each set.
Braaaiiiiiinz
Some cracking scatter terrain there would love to own some don’t have any games that it would fit but what a reason to start a new collection
between this and the first I don’t think there is a game that they don’t cover now
That’s grand I love the fantasy range and would love to pick up the abandoned mine and some battlefield objectives eventually. Have nothing modern or even scifi to suit this new range at present. A Zombie game would be good but have only tried zombicide and wasn’t taken on that. May go read some articles about the Walking Dead game my mates would go in on that I think.
brilliant.
I’m sure i’ll pick some nice pieces for Last Days and Marvel Crisi Protocol!
