I'd like to make a set of terrain to go with my Krieg. I want it to scream "Fallout" so I want modern urban/suburban stuff. I got a bunch of at43 shipping containers on ebay, and I plan on getting a couple 50-70s era model cars, but any other suggestions? Does anyone make terrain for modern gaming?

So details are covered, now I just need buildings.

Try model railway buildings? They might be the wrong scale for a full building, but if you're just after ruins then you can probably chop them up enough to look convincing.

Not a bad idea. Ill look into that. Hobby Lobby 40% off coupons will work on those.

Sounds like it will be cool... Ive always wanted to make a modern themed table... It would just be cool battling around Home Depot and McDonalds haha... Someday <.<

I'd look at Amera plastic mouldings, they are a good price.

The Amera stuff is good as long as you are prepared to put some work into it. They are vacuum formed plastic; however, with a bit of plasti card backing, some texture and paint they look really awesome. You get a lot for your dollar once it is converted to GBP.

Let's not forget about Pegasus Hobbies models... They do lots of stuff, like bombed-out Gothic Buildings, packs of bricks, barrels, crates, etc. I don't really know too much about Fallout, but I know it's got lots of smashed up concrete and such. My personal favourite is the Techno Bridge.

P.S. They're 28mm scale, too!

For railroad models, look at "O" scale or 1/48th scale models. Remember that railroad models are not built for sturdiness, so be prepared to do some reinforcing so they will survive the gaming.

Also check out Matakishi's Tea House. There's some great tutorials for building modern buildings from cork.

Does it come with a TECHNOVIKING?

Anyway, yea, the bridge looks very good. I think there's actually one in the FW Cities of Death screenshots on the FW site.

One of the FLGS here actually bought up a bunch of ceramic block houses from an Art Knapp (Craft & Garden store) here in town and, with a little GrimDarkification and some very careful work with a hammer, made a really good looking bombed-out New York-ish 40K Board
