4Ground Scout Out Ruins From WWII & Fantasy Realms
September 25, 2015 by brennon
4Ground have added some more superb terrain kits to their line up of buildings. The first of these we'll take a look is the Damaged Church which has been shelled from afar in World War II. That is followed by more Ruins Of Daldorr to explore with your warbands in the frozen north...
God's Gonna Be Soooo Angry...
It took a long time for Europe to rebuild after World War II and there were many historical building destroyed by the shelling by both sides. This Church from 4Ground has sustained serious damage and is now a crumbling ruin of it's former glory.
While I'm sure that God would not be best pleased with the state of his Church it makes a superb piece of terrain to fight in and around during games of Bolt Action for example.
With hard cover in many places and a good roost for a sniper to sit within the tower you've got quite the interesting piece here.
Treasures Of Daldorr
Deep within the ruins of Daldoor in these new pieces of terrain you will find both glory and danger. The treasures of long lost civilisations aren't going to be given up easily so you better search every nook and cranny.
I think these ruins are deceptively simple. While they might just look like simple stone structures with little embellishment it's the way that they fit together that gives them their real draw.
There is no reason to say you can't add your own spin to things either with weathering techniques and a bit of undergrowth.
Roofs Of Iron
If you want a more purpose built roof in the Wild West or frankly anywhere and you can't get a lot of good materials then consider the use of Corrugated Iron Roof Panels thanks to 4Ground. These would be great for ramshackle structures...
You could also use these as rudimentary fencing panels for keeping hoodlums out of your junk yard. You can see some of its uses below on a pair of structures...
This image above sees it being used on some of the Wild West buildings that they make. It makes the structures seem a lot more permanent and offers that bit more protection for buildings like banks and shops.
Here is a more 'down and dirty' use of the Corrugated Iron panels. You could imagine this being stuck somewhere in the middle of the wasteland giving a modicum of protection to a car or group of travellers.
What do you think of this latest crop of offerings from 4Ground?

Really like the ruined church and the new Daldoor stuff
love the church and tin sheeting.
The sheets have a lot of use, the ruins are lovely and the church is simply beautiful to behold.
Frostgrave! (Just wanted to be the first to post it
Ordered the new ruins to add to my Frostgrave table, already have snowed up the previous releases.
Absolutely love that church, will buy in the future!
that ruin church would make an awesome dice tower 8).
Love the church and the tin sheeting. I have put together several other 4ground kits and they are amazing. They are easy to assemble. The pre-paint that they do is very nice. The only thing they need done to them is a little weathering.
Really like the church, not sure if it’s a must buy to add to my church collection, but nice. No interest in the Fabled realms stuff but good looking, make my own corrugated metal but like the look of the 4-Ground material. Yes, the 4-Ground kits are extremely well done.
