Pre-Painted Desert Village I – Desert Village 20–25 mm – 18 Pieces – Prepainted, Assembled and Ready to Play

Build an extensive desert settlement surrounded by high walls. The Pre-Painted Desert Village I set contains five buildings of different sizes, modular walls, stairs and ladders, providing a complete multi-level battlefield for 20–25 mm miniatures.

Flat roofs, terraces, accessible interiors and external access points allow gameplay across several levels. The buildings can be placed together as a densely built district or separated to create individual houses, farmsteads and fortified defensive positions.

The pieces are made from laser-cut MDF with a factory-applied light sand-coloured pattern resembling textured plaster. The buildings are fully assembled and glued, while their removable roofs provide access to the interiors. The set is ready to play and requires no assembly, gluing or painting.

This is a unique experimental set. The buyer will receive the exact pieces shown in the photographs. This particular colour scheme will not be produced again.

Use During Games

The five separate buildings can be arranged as a compact village, a walled settlement, a single urban district or several individual farmsteads positioned along a road. Rearranging the terrain allows a different battlefield layout to be created for every game.

The large and medium-sized buildings feature roofs and terraces at different heights. They can serve as central village landmarks, commanding firing positions or multi-level scenario objectives. The smaller houses provide cover, roadside buildings and additional structures for larger complexes.

The removable roofs provide access to the building interiors. Miniatures can occupy rooms, move between buildings and fight across the flat roofs and terraces.

The separate staircase and four ladders can be placed against selected walls. This allows routes to the rooftops to be changed, creates additional access points and makes it possible to adapt the village layout to individual scenarios.

Modular Wall System

The eight wall sections can be used to surround the entire settlement, divide courtyards, block streets or create several independent fortified compounds.

The straight sections form longer defensive lines, the corner pieces change their direction, and the arched gateway marks the main entrance to the village or an enclosed complex.

The walls can restrict movement, provide cover and block lines of sight. At approximately 4.5 cm high, they create a substantial obstacle for 20–25 mm miniatures.

Character and Style

Simple shapes, flat roofs, terraces, small window openings, arched entrances and the sand-coloured finish evoke traditional architecture found across North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.

The set can represent an ancient settlement, a colonial town, a modern conflict zone or a desert village in a fictional world. Its versatile architecture makes it suitable for historical, modern, fantasy and science-fiction games.

The buildings can also serve as post-apocalyptic shelters, structures on a distant planet or a settlement standing beside a desert trade route.

Pre-Painted Finish

The set is made from MDF with a subtle factory-applied sand-coloured pattern resembling an irregular plaster surface. The pattern appears on both the exterior and interior surfaces of the buildings and walls.

The darker edges and joints are a natural result of the laser-cutting process. They provide clear contrast against the lighter walls and emphasise the construction of each piece.

This finish allows the set to be used without additional painting. It can also be customised with washes, pigments, dust effects, vegetation, posters, fabrics and other details to match an existing terrain collection.

Original Terrains4games Design

The building shapes, floor layouts, roofs, terraces, ladders, staircase and modular wall system were created from original 3D designs developed by terrains4games.

The individual components were then adapted for precision laser cutting in MDF before being assembled and glued in our workshop.

Experimental Colour Edition

This set was produced as an experimental version of our desert buildings using factory-finished MDF. It is a new and unused product, but this exact colour version will not be produced again.

Only one set is available — the exact one shown in the product photographs.

Proudly Made in Poland

The set was designed, laser-cut, assembled and glued in our family-run workshop in Poland. It is backed by more than 25 years of experience in designing and building scenery and terrain for miniature wargames.

Scale and Compatibility

The buildings, walls and accessories are designed for games using 20–25 mm miniatures. Accessible interiors and flat roofs allow gameplay at street level, inside the buildings and across the upper levels.

The set is suitable for games such as Force on Force, Team Yankee and Bolt Action played in 20 mm scale, Black Powder, Stargrave and other historical, modern, fantasy and science-fiction systems using 20–25 mm miniatures.
