Hey all.

For the gaming board I'm planning on making I'll eventually need a range of battlefield and terrain pieces. Building them myself is always an option, but I just wanted to throw this out and see if anyone has any specific recommendations.

So, if anyone has come across some well-priced and decently built barrels, crates, carts and wagons, etc post the details here!

Thanks in advance

I've had really good experiences with Thomarillion:

I live in Canada, and the deliveries from Germany have been prompt and well packaged.

Cheers Dorth, those Antenociti barrels and crates look fantastic.

And Whafrog, thank you! The barricades are exactly what I needed!

In addition to the great links that are already posted here, I would like to recomment Renedra too (scroll down):
http://renedra.co.uk/webstore.html
They got some cheap plastic barrels. They are made out of two pieces, so you might need to green stuff to make sure they fit well. They also have a nice selection of other useful stuff (fences, tents).

Also, Warlord Games has a lot of terrain, mostly from other manufacturers too. Check it out here: http://www.warlordgames.com/store/catal ... op_type=93
In specifically, these might be interesting:
http://www.warlordgames.com/store/ox-wagon.html
http://www.warlordgames.com/store/anglo ... e-set.html
http://www.warlordgames.com/store/woode ... -pack.html
http://www.warlordgames.com/store/horse ... art-1.html

And then, finally, Rusus has some great terrain too! http://www.rusus.de.vu/ (you can set it to English, button next to Homepage).
In specifically, these might be useful:
http://217.172.172.50/Rusus-p86h24s26-Sack.html
http://217.172.172.50/Rusus-p197h43s54-Truhe.html
http://217.172.172.50/Rusus-p70h24s26-Wooden-box.html
http://217.172.172.50/Rusus-p69h24s26-Barrels.html

Good luck, hope it's of some use!

Wow, plenty to choose from there Feanor, thanks a lot!

As it turns out I actually picked up some of the Renedra barrels today before I posted this :P I'll see how they turn out later in the evening.

The Warlord horse drawn cart is a perfect match for what I inititially had in mind (I should explain, the reason I'm searching for these items is for a Battle of Bywater gaming board). With that and other pieces I can create the Hobbit barricade to my specifications. Though I'm still keen on the one in Whafrog's link. Could always have a couple of different types to switch in and out.

Forgot to mention, I've really like the terrain the Battlefield in a Box products from Gale Force Nine:

http://www.gf9.com/
http://www.flamesofwar.com/gf9online_st ... ryID=13170

The rivers are a bit narrow so I've had to house rule their jumpability, etc, but I really like the modular nature.

I can recommend Irregular Miniatures if you are in the UK (http://www.irregularminiatures.co.uk/)
I've got a load of barrels, chests, sacks and I horse and cart and they are great (and cheap)

I have the Renedra barrels they will need some sanding/putty to fill in the gaps. But on the whole they look really nice. I sanded the sides so I could glue several together to form a line of barrels. Use plastic glue and they will hold together well.

Gripping Beast has a great range. Most of the terrain are Renedra plastics IIRC.

Ships and buildings
Weapons, shields, scenics, fences & bases
Livestock
Baggage cart
