Acheson Creations had some Graves and head stones.
Michaels will have their Halloween graveyard set coming out shorty made by...can't think of the name at the moment.

I don't understand, why don't you want to use resin statues and tombs?

Old school resin: https://www.ainstycastings.co.uk/product-category/cemetery-plot/

Ainsty! Thanks i had forgotten about them! I don’t mind resin, just find it better than 3D print resin which is a bit liney and brittle
-
Fenris do some nice sets with a Mythos bent... I hid a couple in my otherwise Renedra English graveyard...

Sarissa Precision do a set of 40 gravestones for seven quid or a complete crypt and graveyard for £35-ish (IIRC). Worth a look?

work is blocking it (boo), but have a rummage around West Wind Productions. They do a load of Vampire Wars stuff, so there could be something useful in the range.

Find a better printer? One that uses proper wargaming resin, not the cheapest stuff from the clearance shelf, and doesn't print at speed but quality? I've got quite a few things off of a mate who prints like that and it's the smoothest stuff you have ever seen, not a line in sight. Just saying, don't diss printed stuff due to bad experiences from the past.

I was fine with the various Reaper and Mantic graveyard plastic terrain.
If you don't mind cardstock, don't want to paint, and want to save money, Battle Systems has a graveyard set.

Thanks for all your suggestions, I’ll have a look at the 3D stuff

This is a kit I found in some railroad store.

It's not perfect, but has done the trick for me in various scenery builds and bases. I was always concerned with the size of the little tomb, but having seen some European graveyards, I realized it actually scales pretty well.
As to statues, I like older Reaper metal models (Dark Heaven, I think was the line) that scaled a bit more 25mm, or even some 15mm / 20mm metal fantasy models painted up like statues.

Halloween is coming, so look for those little Halloween villages at the local craft stores like Michael's. 'Tis the season for graveyard bits and kits!

You could try using some of Crooked Dice's Scary Statues.

The plinth is from Ainsty, the scroll on the front is from a Space Marine sprue.
Blotz has statue bases and graveyard stuff in MDF.

Those are both great ideas. Love the creepy statue!

Yes, some grave markers in a set of the Vampire Wars range.

Love the scary statues!

Those Scary Statues are great and I found them fun to paint too. I got them for my fiancée who really likes Dr. Who, where such statues apparently are major enemies.
