Micro Art Studios Take Infinity Down The Docks With New Cargo Containers
February 26, 2015 by brennon
Micro Art Studios are heading down the docks with their latest set of Designed For Infinity terrain. We see a lot of these out there in games but I think they could play a very awesome role in battles for Infinity, see what you think of these Shipping Containers...
Now at first glance these would simply be good for use with providing line of sight blocking terrain. Plonk a few of these down and you've got ready made corridors of fire and plenty of ambush points. The way I'd take it however is to go down the modified terrain route and have these Containers being moved around the battlefield AS you're fighting.
There's no reason the workers and A.I at the docks would stop working while your teams fight it out is there? Have it so that occasionally throughout the game the containers would be picked up by huge cranes and moved to random places on the battlefield, miniatures and all.
Suddenly this makes the battlefield a lot more alive and you'd have to keep changing your tactics as the turns unfolded!
What do you think of the idea?
Great idea about having the containers move around the battlefield, especially if one of your miniatures is in top of one
Or under one… :D!!
Comes pre painted ?
The website says that they’re unpainted and made of hard foam.
I’d like them better if they were plastic, and made of six panels that would be glued together. If they’re complete they’ll be expensive to ship due to the size.
Hard plastic shipping containers.
Mantic do this for your next deadzone kickstarter.( but don’t make it 3″x3″)
Good idea, but what sane laborer would stay on the job when some armored thugs are shooting up the workplace? It’d have to be an automated crane, but, otherwise, nice thought.
UPS or one of those other huge shipping companies already uses automated forklifts in their warehouses (which may explain why much of my stuff takes months to show up). It’s not a stretch to have the control panel shot up by small arms fire, and ending up with a chaotic, automated system picking up and dropping off sea cans in random designated areas. Good on you @Brennon 🙂
Not long ago, I was toying with the idea of making a container ship table… coundn’t possibly do one to scale, but fairly easily faked to look good @5-ish feet. Being able to mix up the container arrangement (or lack of) on the deck is a key element to keeping it fresh.
