Post Apocalyptic & World War II Terrain From 4Ground
July 27, 2018 by dignity
Today I'm joined by Cad from 4Ground to talk about their new Post Apocalyptic terrain and World War II Japanese themed war camps for games such as Konflikt '47.
Remember you can WIN three sets with all the different colours by commenting on this post with your best scenario ideas for this type of terrain.
The guys at 4Ground just can't keep their hands off those storage containers and what they've made this time is something short of genius for those games that you may want to play in a post-apocalyptic setting. Plus we're taking a look at some Japanese inspired war camps with lots of barbed wire and lookout towers for those jungle scenarios you want for games such as Konflikt '47 or perhaps Spectre.
What kind of house would you make from a Storage container?

I want them, I want them all. Those containers are awesome.
There’s a phrase I never thought I’d write.
A nice Cross shaped home with a central hub of two containers with the long sides together and 4-6 coming off like spokes for individual rooms.
Who doesn’t want containers? .. I’ll add them to my Core-Space Frontier set .. be pretty awesome. I also get a ‘Rerady-Player One’ vibe on these if I stack them up … do some house rules. I could also use these with my MERCS. So many good times to be had.
Of course recreate my Fallout 4 settlement…. or an Orc Fort…. or or…. GOD HOW CAN ONE CHOOSE?!
What would I use these for…….
I would create a main street using the wild west as a theme: including a saloon, hotel, garage, undertakers, general store, etc. I would have to manufacture appropriate signs to fix to the containers.
Off to one edge of the street, I would use the barbed wire fencing to create an octagon for the MMA-ish entertainment for the locals. Broken containers for street food vendors and such.
Great for a Spectre Ops game, need a ship to store the cargo containers on. Then have some PMC v pirates action. Modern pirates mind, I don’t see flintlocks and cutlasses doing well against M4 carbines.
4ground always giving stuff away
men I would create a renegade camp like on Mad Max 2 movie. with barb wire, containers, and ad some items from the industrial line of 4ground. that would look sweet. I could play dark age, infinity and 40k on that table…
Nice kits.
Great kits. I see that watchtower and instantly the theme from The Great Escape starts playing in my head
I’d make a junkertown home with this terrain
it all makes sense now… Is that their entry into the end is nigh? Great products as ever!
I would use these kits to build a Brotherhood of Steel forward operating base for Fallout Wasteland Warfare.
4ground always makes great stuff. Those containers especially!
That video contains quite a bit of containers. ??
I would probably do like a scenario of defend the settlement with the containers as the settlement and the defenders in the middle. Something like a post-apocalyptic Rorke’s Drift.
“Zombies, thousands of ’em. Don’t shoot until you see the white of their ey….hang on!!!!”
Post-Apocalyptic stuff… I’ll take five, please.
I fail to see the problem of filling the content with container talk. Those are great pieces. I have a vision of a firefight in the dockside maze of stacked containers. The wide range of colors is a wonderful option.
Awesome. The idea of some containers having zombies in and some having loot in. Shuffling them up in some way or having someone lay out your terrain for you and you not knowing what is where. Fantastic scenario.
The containers are great. I could see a scenario where you are searching for a VIP/hostage in a ship yard. Much more evocative than a marker.
A scenario for these would be to follow up on Justins thought for a zombie game, a defend the shelter from oncoming zombies. It looks fantastic!
firefly….these containers have firefly written all over them. Bit like Badger’s criminal den!
barbed wire fences also have so many applications but for me it will be walking dead. not just the prison but also just putting around a semi-permanent camp site
Storage Wars sounds like a great name for a post-apocalyptic scenario – how about some of the containers with a fenced off, barbed wire entrance and a heavily armed, biker-gang-esque auctioneer stood on top of the tower? Post apocalypse slave auction with survivors penned into make-shift slave pens and some friends trying to bust them out. Maybe a deviation on the Gangs of Rome mob rules? You have to sneak through the crowds and engage the guards, doing your best to free your friends before the mob either turns against you or the place devolves into a riot!
It might be cool to use these as half of a Ready Player One/Cyberpunk style game. Imagine running a concurrent virtual game on one side and a defense game on the other where the virtual team had a mission, but the real world team was trying to defend them in a container slum in the real world at the same time. Complicated, but could be very cool, especially with two very different set ups (apocalyptic slum and super high tech) in the same table.
I’d make a post apocalyptic shanty town, but they could also work as utilitarian housing for space colonists, reusing the shipping containers as housing once they arrive on a new planet.
