Scenic Distractions VI

To the Barricades!

Army Painter Wasteland tufts seem to be a good turf color for "space junkyard".

This gorgeous resin barricade is available from Spellcrow miniatures an awesome producer of miniatures and scenery in resin from Poland.  They have all kinds of great conversion bits for 40K miniatures and their own line of fantasy skirmish minis and a game system to go with it.  If you have ever wanted to make a super detailed Salamanders or Space Wolves army this site has all the scaled armor and wolf pelt pauldrons you could possibly want.  There are conversion bits for several different chapters, as well as some cool ork conversion bits as well.  Also available on their website are some great pieces of scatter terrain sized scenery and if you order over $80 worth of stuff international shipping is free.

The skull buried in the sand is one of my favorite details of this piece.

I really love the detail on this barricade, and it comes in a set with another similarly sized barricade "made" of different materials.  That one uses the same barrel shapes but includes a cast off Rhino door as part of the obstacle.  The little touches are great, like the chain of Heavy Bolter shells on top of the crate, or the Munitorum Armored Container door control panel buried in the sand.  The fantastic sculpting on the wood grain was perfect for Contrast paint.  I have three more barricades to paint, one like this and two with the Rhino door.  I'll probably swap some of the colors around so they don't look the same, but these will be great additions to my "space junkyard" for WH40K and Kill Team.
