How To Paint Scenery For XCOM

Painting Tutorials
Written By Chris McEwan

Mantic Games make an excellent set of scenery, the Battlezones range. They have some cool Sci-fi scenery that has been seen on the channel before, and also this 20th Century range which is perfect for modern settings like Xcom, The Walking Dead, even Fallout and Bolt Action.

This video shows you ways to paint the brick façade and the concrete rendered sides.

I'm excited for Modiphius' Xcom game, and this scenery is going to be key in building my Battlescapes, and I hope it will be yours, too!
