Crate by Epic Miniatures
Description
Tucked behind the dockside warehouse, the crate sits innocuously — until someone rolls a Perception check and realises it hasn't been there since last night.
- ✔ Resin terrain piece, printed fresh to order in the UK
- ✔ Supplied unpainted — primes and paints easily
- ✔ Compatible with standard 28mm–32mm miniature scales
- ✔ Works on the gaming table and as part of a display diorama
No tabletop ever had enough crates. Whether you're dressing a harbour district, a merchant's warehouse, a dungeon storeroom, or a shady alleyway encounter, this medium-sized wooden crate from Epic Miniatures delivers exactly the kind of grounded, believable scatter terrain that transforms a flat gaming surface into a proper scene.
The sculpt captures the texture of rough-hewn timber planks with satisfying wood grain detail across all visible faces. Each side features the distinctive cross-brace pattern of heavy-duty cargo crates — the kind that could be holding anything from salted fish to stolen spellbooks. The raised framing and sturdy corner posts give it a convincingly solid, weighty presence on the tabletop, and the clean geometry means it paints up quickly whether you're dry-brushing in a hurry or going deep on contrast and weathering washes.
At medium scale, it works as cover for a halfling rogue, a conveniently placed obstacle in a chase sequence, or simply the atmospheric dressing that makes your players feel like they're actually somewhere. Stack a few together and you've got an instant dock, market, or smuggler's den.
Suited to adventurers who:
- Want to fill out warehouse, port, or urban encounter maps with convincing scatter terrain
- Are building a dungeon storeroom, merchant district, or tavern back room scene
- Love painting atmospheric props as much as the minis themselves
- Are assembling a diorama or display scene that needs grounded, realistic set dressing
Encounter Hook: The thieves' guild contact said the package would be in the third crate from the left — but when the party arrives at the warehouse, every crate looks identical, and someone has clearly been through them recently. A DC 13 Investigation check reveals scratches on the lock of one. The question is whether to open it now, or wait to see who comes back for it.
