Dock 3 Barrels by Ella's Arcanum
Description
The shipment arrived three days late, the manifest doesn't match the cargo, and someone has already broken the wax seal on one of the barrels — your party has thirty seconds before the harbour master notices.

- ✔ Compatible with standard 28mm–32mm miniature scales
- ✔ Works on the gaming table and as part of a display diorama
This dock barrels scatter piece from Ella's Arcanum brings a working waterfront to life on your battle map. Three barrels of varying sizes sit grouped on a section of weathered wooden planking, with a small sack tied at the neck tucked between them and a squat clay jug resting at the front edge. The plank base captures the texture of rough-hewn dockside timber in convincing detail — the kind of surface that's absorbed decades of saltwater, fish oil, and worse. Whether your scene is set in a bustling port city, a smugglers' cove, or a riverside trading post, this piece adds the lived-in character that turns a flat grid into a location your players will actually remember.
Scatter terrain like this does a great deal of quiet work at the table — it provides natural cover, marks points of interest, and gives your players something to interact with when the rogue asks whether they can hide behind something. The scale and grouping make it equally at home as a diorama centrepiece or a recurring fixture across multiple sessions.
Suited to adventurers who:
- Are building harbour, dockside, or riverside encounter maps
- Want cover and environmental storytelling in their scatter terrain
- Are constructing diorama scenes or display boards with a maritime theme
- Need scatter pieces that reward close-up painting with strong surface texture
Encounter Hook:
The party has been hired to quietly retrieve a particular barrel from Pier 7 before dawn — the one with the red mark scratched into the iron band. Simple enough, until they arrive to find three barrels with red marks, a dead dockworker slumped against the planking, and the sound of boots on the quayside above them.
Details
Printed at 32mm scale. The base is integrated into the piece as shown. This is an unpainted resin print, supplied ready for priming and painting or use straight from the box. Support marks are removed as standard, though minor surface imperfections are a natural part of the printing process and can be cleaned up with light work before painting.

Small studio. Big catalogue. Two very opinionated cats.
A great companion for NPC characters and scatter terrain.
