Deadzone Terrain 1

I feel as if I have wasted the last two days hobby time just putting together the Deadzone terrain that came with the game, plus some I had picked up at the “Little Wars” bring and buy stand a few years ago, intending to use it for Necromunda.

As normal it just stayed there waiting for its time to come!

Once I worked out that the best way to put it together things went more smoothly, but initially I found it a pain.

It was difficult to get the joiners in solidly enough to hold things together.

I decided to glue each piece as I put it together and with pressing the joiners in place with pointy nosed pliers it went together quite well.

The Deadzone mat is 560mm X 560mm.

There are two 3X1 L-shaped cubes, two 2X2 L-shaped cubes, two 2X1 horizontal rectangular cubes, two 1X1 square cubes, and one 2X1 vertical cube. Giving me nine independent structures.

These can be joined by gantries and walkways if required.

The terrain is quite flexible and offers plenty of cover, but also key lines of sight to set up an ambush.

All-in-all it is quite flexible terrain and should paint up well with enough detail to look “cool”.

I intend to use it in a lot of the Post-Apocalyptic and Sci-Fi games like Deadzone, Firefight, Zona Alpha, Infinity, 5 Parsecs from Home, and Necromunda.

I also intend to use this with other terrain for Infinity games which has a 4X4 table size.

Here is the terrain on the Infinity Nomad terrain mat:

I don’t like the standard grey that most people paint the terrain and intend to use bright colours with the grungy dilapidated look that it should be.

I still have the scatter terrain and the barricades to put together before I start the painting.

This may be over a week or more a way.

  1. Thanks Pete. The game is really designed around cube movement either open or building and height becomes crucial. The maximum height in the game is three cubes so I wanted at least a couple of these. They limited the amount of other buildings I could have but they look great and both aid and block line of sight.
