We've had some neat looking Pylons in from 4Ground. We give you a quick update as to the building of these structures before we add them to the gaming tables later today...
Very dangerous for the choppas :))
I saw the spot on their website showing this range is coming. Can’t wait to see more of it!
A few simple thing like these pylons or a supermarket as simple additions to bring the old world war 2 battlefield in to the 80’s is really smart. It quickly gives you the “feel” of a more modern period, even with older buildings!
Very nice , oh keep building John
Hm… looks intresting… have to see them on a table in actual gameplay…
Looks good, will they work for 20mm as well
How they interact with air assets will be interesting.
Some real nice stuff from 4ground as normal almost
Awesome! 4Ground really keeps up with the latest!
Those will be on my wishlist next birthday
I was looking at the 4ground stuuf at Crisis in Antwerp, not much 15mm yet.
Shame I didnt see these, they really make a modern battlefield.
Are those completely in metal or is it wood with a metal paint on it? If the second is the case, does it work with the exposed sides of the wood?
It’s painted MDF. I have a lot of 4Griund stuff. It’s really very nice.
I don’t think I’ve ever not liked something out of 4Ground
4ground is great
Can some one tell me when said pylons will be available? I need about 4 of them for TY and dropzonze comander( i know its the wrong scale but the just have to represent an even lager powerhub )
Hinds no like
Man, you said it, @zetazot . It’s hard enough getting six Hinds on a four-foot table. Seriously, the rotors on these things are 7 inches wide, so even lining them up in a simple line, comically close, with rotors practically touching . . . the Hinds are 42″ wide. That’s practically the whole 48″ table. But now we have to watch out for these gigantic helicopter traps, too? 🙁 🙁 🙁
A great idea. To bring it into the 21st century, I hope 4Ground are thinking of doing cell phone towers.
A great addition for every modern battlefield.
I remember reading somewhere that power lines could mess with atgm guidance irl. Wonder if that is true.
If they are ‘wire’ guided this is true as the wire can snag on intervening terrain like trees and power lines.
I have read that chain-link fences were nightmares for the older generation wire-guided ATGWs, especially when launched from ground units. Back then, a thin fiberoptic wire had to spool out all the way from the missile to its launcher, sometimes 5000 meters of it. If the missile flew over a chain link fence, dragging this wire behind it, and it snagged and snapped, the operator would lose control of the missile. Later generations became less prone to this mishap because they would only trail say 100 feet of wire or so . . . they would use this as a… Read more »
a necessity for the battlefield!
Now that’s groovy ill need a dozen of them now.
I want some of those for my table!
These are fantastic, but since it hasn’t been said “you must construct additional pylons”.
Haha! i see what you did there
Oh my gosh those are great! they are timeless too, (well wwI and upwards i guess) even sci fi games would work with those. Maybe they can do some 28mm ones as well?? I don’t care how big they end up =P The bigger the better!!
4grounds products are so good, I have several of their houses and the jail
Love putting together their kits
