WOTC prepainted suggestion: Dungeon SCENERY!

[Silverblade The Ench]

WOTC produces tons of D&D monster minis, but what I need...is dungeon scenery minis!
Thanks to suggestions form folks (Cheers! ), I got Dwarven Forge pack with tables, chairs, torches. Quite nice.

I'd love though, for WOTC ot make packs with dungeon doors (openable), sarcophigi, iron maidens, beds etc etc.

What do you all think?

gonna have ot buy the Games workshop seige tower, I think, only good, to scale one I've seen.

I know there's metal minis but generally, metal adds up to too much weight, to easy broke, though, some furniture bits could be ok I guess: tables, barrels n' stuff.

Check out Megaminis decor catalog, though they would need painting.

I'd like something like this for outdoor maps, if practical. (Trees, rocks, etc.)

I've found plastic rocks and you can use polished rocks and beads from craft stores for them as well. I also found passable barrels at a Dollar Store.

I have plastic trees, but honestly they end up getting in the way more than they were worth.

There was a company at Gen Con last year selling plastic 'bendy dungeon walls' (with doors!). Supposedly they went to distributors, but my FLGS wasn't able to get any in (apparently available in their online store though)...

Wait, metal is easy to break? Maybe a sword or spear, but something like a sarcophagus? Reaper makes a few of them, BTW...

Mark,
oooh thanks mate! asked them how much a bunch of stuff would be, sent to UK.
Weak dollar is good for some of us, sorry

(Psi),
Gamesworkshop does modular hills, stuff like that with 25mm grid ON it, would be superb. GW studd doens't have a grid on the hills, alas.

Outdoor terrain would be good, GW wants silly money for trees! their trees used ot be cheap!
For D&D what I'd want trees or bushes to have, is, square, not round base (for stability and maximum room to put figures on top of tree base)
trees to be 10' wide base or 15' and appropriate size. Weight in base to stop 'em falling over. I like the light weight of plastic minis, but with tress and some minis, you'd want some stabilizing weight. such as a tungsten strip.

For bushes for D&D, what I'd want is a square or rectangular tile, with flat, thin plastic foliage on the EDGES (almost 2d), so minis can be put in middle.

Those changes would let foilage minis be fare more practical use, as usually, you cannot place a mini and a tree/bush in same square :/

Will check me finances, want to get their Seige Tower model kit.
Their fortress set is good, practically, if not cost wise or aesthetically

Dragon Snack,
ooOOoOOoh!! Nice dungeon bendy walls, mmmm!

For outdoor terrain, look at model railroad stuff. You can get a huge variety of trees and rocks and such (and molds to make your own plaster rocks), the scale isn't far enough off to make things like rocks and trees look out of place. Woodland Scenics is the brand I've seen most often.

Fat Dragon Games has tons of scenery bits that are very very good.

on the subject of mini's I would pay for either a Baldurs gate specific set or even actually buy boxes of minis if those characters were mixed in

Here are a few links that I have found over time.
