More recently, looking for some terrain, specifically buildings to represent a themed settlement for the fimir, I came across another rather splendid company, 4Ground. Already well known in historical circles I would imagine, they do a pretty big range of buildings, tools and accessories. The buildings are laser-cut and pre-painted, and look pretty damn good, but of course could be tarted up to look even better. Generally the buildings are very good value the house above retailing for £25, though the upcoming great hall apparently retails at over £200, which seems a bit on the mental side. Shame really, as it would make a fine fimir clan hall. It should be noted too, that most of these buildings have detailed interiors too. Mordheim, anyone?
The other thing that caught my eye was the building parts that are available, such as wheels, stairs, windows, doors and so on. They also do things like carts, outhouses, fences, walls and the like. Definitely worth a gander if you're looking for some nice buildings or terrain to grace your tables, or some components for making your own.
Thanks for the heads up, 4Ground's stuff looks great, I have bookmarked them for future projects.
ReplyDeleteI can completely recommend the 4ground buildings. At the risk of becoming a shill, I've been using their 15mm stuff for Flames of War and I'm delighted with it. It's quick to assemble, looks better than the scratch-built stuff and it's designed to be functional in-game (lift-off roofs, etc.).
ReplyDeleteThat hall is really very beautiful. Shame about the cost, especially as it seems a pretty easy piece to produce. I did always like the suggestion of a tribe of Fimir living in derelict houseboats... that one's from the old white dwarf article.
