Mantic Walking Dead Barricades.


Slowly getting the last few bits done from my kickstarter set. I have had these sitting around since I did the all the figures over the Summer. The main thing being what colours do various bits of the scenery.

So I had a browse around online and at other peoples. Which was actually quite hard to find really. Then just made my mind up on the colours and got them done over a couple of evenings. I've just noticed I forgot to paint white around the red round things on the back of the blue barriers but ah well I'll do that later. Onto funner things!!

    1. Thanks Frank. It was more about being unsure exactly what some things were meant to be.

    1. They are a nice set. You can get them separate but come with cars and some other bits (Supply Tokens I think)

  8. Nice work there mate. It can be bloody hard to find painted examples of Mantic stuff out there. Might just be the lighting of the photos, but they have an almost cel-shaded look to them as well.

    1. Thanks AZazel. Its probably the lighting I always struggle this time of year. These are just block painted. Washed then drybrushed in a light grey then a stone colour.

    1. Thanks Joe. Yeah indeed. Of course they can be used for other modern similar type games as well.

    1. Cheers dude. Yes indeed. I must dig out all my post apoc terrain for a game and see how it looks and if there is plenty of scatter.

  11. These are the ones that come in the current WD scenery pack, with the trucks and car right? Will be using yours as a good reference when I eventually get around to tackling my own as I like how these have come out.

    1. Thanks very much there are some details which I think could of benefited from perhaps being deeper or sharper but at a glance they do the job
