You're right Luke, this stuff is SO adaptable for so many different scenarios. Also, just gotta say, I really haven't had this much fun making terrain in a while! Great kits all around. Thanks for the great collab man🙂
Glad its now actually push fit. The original stuff from the 1st kickstarter never worked as the clips were slightly too big. Took a lot of work to get them off the sprue and for the connectors to fit. Ended up glueing mine into sections
Cool to see this vid. Honestly the pictures on their website don't do the terrain justice. I actually at first glance thought it was cardboard, but seeing it in video format assembled, looks good. Not flashy, but a nice good sci-fi arena.
I am a massive fan of the Deadzone scenery and at the moment we have three different table themes all made from the stuff. We have an industrial themed set, a landing zone/space port themed set and we also have some ruins (with a little more on the way with the new Deadzone starter set). It's brilliant for a whole host of sci-fi games although my own personal experience is that not gluing the structures together isn't really practical. I have had so many clips that didn't fit quite as well as they should and either snapped during assembly or sprang apart after assembly at the slightest hint of a shock/impact. So I now tend towards making pre-built structures and sub-structures that can be used in isolation, in tandem with other structures or combined to make new structures. The beauty for me comes with the freedom you have to design and build the shapes and structures that you want.
The first ever Mantic game I bought was Deadzone, I even bough the terrain mat and 2 starter factions. Mantics terrain system is just awesome, it’s affordable, customisable and looks just plain fantastic when painted and put on the table. Thanks for sharing this vid, I’m always amazed at how your gaming boards can go ‘next level’ with just some basic bits and pieces!
I love Mantic's Terrain Crate, I used a massive amount to make a space port feel for Infinity and now, I using as a base to kit bash with GW bitz to make gantries for Necromunda. My only gripe is the kits could use more clips. I always run low and ordering them can take some time from a FLGS.
Another great vid Luke, I love your vids you always show people how to do things regardless of their skill level. and even though you just wanted to show how great the system was you still built an amazing setup.
Love mantic buildings. My summer project was building the compound terrain crate (with extras). I went with a grey/red fade on the buildings. Really cool sets. We use them for judge Dredd miniatures game
I have some Manic terrain for their Walking Dead game... ruined buildings, cars, and trucks. The thing is, you can purchase even several of the same sets, but still be able to build something completely different out of those sets. I glued some things together to make a bit of scatter terrain I knew I wouldn't take apart. the rest I just painted up to build and rebuild as needed. Also, the modern-style terrain I bought came with a bunch of little things like benches, signs, trash cans, and barricades. Great for post-apocalyptic games.
From a distant planet surface to the deepest Underhive, this stuff works great. I was wondering how best to paint the bits I have, loads of great ideas here. Cheers!
Had no idea this exists. Thanks for opening my eyes and lighting my mind and creativity on fire. I think the kids and I are gonna try these out...im curious which one of my kids are going to take to it, if not all. I'm obviously gonna be the best though 😏
I am gonna give this stuff a shot, I've liked everything I have bought from Mantic so far and the fact they contacted an actual terrain builder to help design it gives me high hopes
love the Video, I reallywant some of those for Killteam. I am torn between getting a military checkpoint and the gang warzone or the battlefield ruins and the landing zone. what would you think be better? But can you also tell me, when will the products be back in stock on your site, or are the not gonna return?
Their terrain is good looking, and I like the fact it's already off the sprues, but in some areas it looks like you still need to file down? My other worry is the cost, the terrain you had was around £160 in value I think, which is basically like getting it from GW, except much more modular I suppose - I'm just not sure I could justify the extra cost of this over TTCombat's mdf kits, which are equally modular but a fraction of the cost, especially when you've dropped awesome videos showing how to make it look just as good if not better than plastic stuff!
@@GeekGamingScenics oh I completely agree on the plastic sets likely being easier to achieve great results, especially with their levels of detail, it's fantastic looking! I suppose it comes down to whether you want something quick where you pay more (Mantic) or a lot more effort but much cheaper (TT)? Don't get me wrong I'd rather be sent a huge collection of this terrain than MDF, but if I'm buying, the cost is something I'd have to consider. I know this is already really long, but one thing I saw on their site is their small booster packs with great detail in, which could be used with MDF to make some really cool looking stuff, which I definitely might consider
Hey where did you get the stairs from? Only the helipad set has 1 slim staircase. I cant see any set with the wide staircase? Or did you get 3 sets of the helipad and glue 2 of them together?
@@GeekGamingScenics Sweet, well I'm having my first 3.0 games this weekend. Let me know if you need a thraipsing (as Wayne would say) from my Asterians ;)
Well what can I say, except Luke you had best learn how to light up your dioramas as the competition showed - Wow what an extra-ordinary complex system was produced, though I have to admit, he did cheat to an extent and used more than simply Mantic.

and it's all sold out :-|
Pre clipped! 😯
Love the production values you bring to your videos, mate. Aside from the brilliant projects.

I’m loving the look of the Deadzone terrain - I had no idea it was going to be so modular. You had me at Adult Lego!
Class terrain. I'm currently playing 'StarBreach' and '5 Parsecs From Home' and this terrain would be perfect for that.

Nice, I could see those kits being used in a Ripley versus Xenomorph Diorama
SOOOOOOOOOO How are those thumbs feeling after your build?????????? YA I've assembled a TON with these!!!!!!! Great video Buddy!!!!!
Luke: "This is literally adult Lego, guys"
Me, an adult, playing with Legos: "what do you mean?" 👀
My thought was "Adult Lego? Lego is adult Lego!"
Thanks for the Mantic review. It's nice to know some injection molded terrain is well designed and well made.
I always thought of such a system - now I can get one. This is stunning. Thank you for sharing!
Another great vid Luke, I love your vids you always show people how to do things regardless of their skill level. and even though you just wanted to show how great the system was you still built an amazing setup.
This stuff looks fab. Possibly a cheeky purchase is in store. I’ve just bought some of your base ready materials and they are ace!! 👍🏻
great vid man!! looks like a really cool system and something i may have to look into for my own projects.
Love mantic buildings. My summer project was building the compound terrain crate (with extras). I went with a grey/red fade on the buildings. Really cool sets. We use them for judge Dredd miniatures game
Love the kit and the paintjob.
2:34 The time-lapse of assembling the helipad is like a cross between "Jacob's Ladder" and "Hackers" 😁😁😁

Outstanding! I make my own scenery, but this has got a ton of possiblities to include! Great stuff, thanks for sharing it!

This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
Erics hobby workshop would probably like this for his Necromunda games and I dare say anyone else lol.
I've been trying to hunt down some easy and cheap Kill Team terrain and this might be the answer! Thanks for the recommend Luke!
Had no idea this exists. Thanks for opening my eyes and lighting my mind and creativity on fire.
I think the kids and I are gonna try these out...im curious which one of my kids are going to take to it, if not all. I'm obviously gonna be the best though 😏
Man, this is maybe off topic but who ever was DoP for your recent new and advanced version of recording did awesome job!
@@GeekGamingScenics I knew it was you, but wanted to give you a DoP quality credit!😁💪
I am gonna give this stuff a shot, I've liked everything I have bought from Mantic so far and the fact they contacted an actual terrain builder to help design it gives me high hopes
I’d say you could even use this for modern war and near future stuff
Terrain crate is solid. I actually assumed it was a crappy product until I worked with it.
Gotta love the chuckle when you said a bit more elaborate

But can you also tell me, when will the products be back in stock on your site, or are the not gonna return?
love your red templars/bloodravens. I have those too
Excellent terrain piece
Brilliant work Luke!
Looks great, I probs wouldnt bother with the breakdown aspect. those clips will likely break after a little bit.

good vid luke keep up the good vid on the channel lee
Cheers Luke ,
Mantic , umm , kinda go's with Benji's Stunty's , May have to go ave a look at there stuff ,
Luv~Luv~Luv .
Oh , Big-boy leggo !
Love Deadzone and the terrain
Great work!!
I currently prefer Archon's Rampart and Dungeons & Lasers lines, they look more like real things and not an abstracted paintball court layout.
TheTerrainTutor did a video where he made the most of this kit.
I've spent many an hour blunting cutters cutting out stacks of connector sprues.
I still have the original Deadzone box set with all that terrain :D, hmm maybe it is time to put it together XD
"This is literally adult Lego"
Nonsense! Lego is adult Lego! xD
After doing those treese I doubt you have any glue left! Haha
Just kept thinking of the settlement building in Fallout 4
This is really interesting and you could definitely use it on a 40k board
Yup. I think Kill Teams new 3" climbing mechanic was inspired by Deadzone's great "Cube" mechanic.
The painting and storage of the terrain is the biggest factor holding me back from getting into this kind of gaming T_T
Hey where did you get the stairs from? Only the helipad set has 1 slim staircase. I cant see any set with the wide staircase? Or did you get 3 sets of the helipad and glue 2 of them together?
Don’t forget to like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm 😁👍🏼❤️
Mantic make good stuff, no doubt. The scenery is way better than the GW stuff.
This looks epic
hey luke could you do hex boards because not to many people know about it
I have loads of this stuff but every time I go to use it, its just so generic and I struggle to give it character.
High mate how high are the walls on the terrain crate terrain 3inch or 4?
I’m right now in the middle of a diorama pond, with your company’s products 😃😃😃
@@GeekGamingScenics Prime TIME this morning 😂
Deja vu; I could've sworn I've seen this video before.
good job bud
I'll have to get me some of that's stuff
What sets did you use exaclty?
What is that spray glue?
This is what Games workshop wishes it could be
Nice
Mantic deadzone terrain seems very expensive these days. 3d print options give better value and look just as good if not better.
Fortunately, YT has subtitles under the movie, I can quietly watch at work hehe
What effect did you use for the time lapse?
@@GeekGamingScenics thanx man!
Does this mean you'll be playing 3.0? I e dusted my Deadzone stuff off in preparation...
@@GeekGamingScenics Sweet, well I'm having my first 3.0 games this weekend. Let me know if you need a thraipsing (as Wayne would say) from my Asterians ;)
aaaand all the terrain crate packages are sold out on their webpage..
Lots on Amazon and Ebay
Y'all seen the new Buzz lightyear trailer?
#deadzoneislife
Do they sell to the united states?
You call this affordable? Send my greetings to the Rockefeller family!
Well what can I say, except Luke you had best learn how to light up your dioramas as the competition showed - Wow what an extra-ordinary complex system was produced, though I have to admit, he did cheat to an extent and used more than simply Mantic.
Mantic whoop whoop
Swag
Holy sh!t ... it is all sold out!
