28mm scatter terrain—options?

[Nathaniel Weber]

I have been poking around Google and various producers’ websites for items suitable as scatter terrain—odds and ends that add flavor to a game as much or more than  adding actual terrain feature—and though I feel like I’ve encountered many such options over the years, I’m having trouble finding them now. What 28mm companies have you bought from for various bits to add character to your gaming tables? Resin, metal, or plastic. Here’s the sorts of bits I’m looking for:

Farming tools (shovels, rakes, plows)

Wagons and carts

Bales, sacks, bags, stacks of harvested crops

Wattle fences

Troughs and buckets

Wagon wheels

Ladders

Camp fires and torches

Firewood stacks

One area I haven’t searched at all are 3d printing options. I don’t have a 3d printer so am not immensely interested in that area, but I have used printing services before so it is an option.

Excuse the crude format of this list, it’s just for time-saving purposes. These are just some ideas off the top of my head, assuming you’re being iffy about time periods.

There are more options out there of course, but like you I can’t recall all the ones I’ve encountered over the years.

Wow, Rhoderic, thanks. Exactly what I was looking for.

Part of my problem here is that 28mm has not been my gaming scale for a long time, so I am less familiar with the options.

Rhoderic, good response – the internet at its best!

Acheson Creations makes many of the things you mention, in resin, plus some in pewter. I have piles of them.

If you’re in the UK, check with CompanyD.
