189 Comments

4Ground are here at the event in force and have some great stuff to show off for Fabled Realms including the amazing map that was designed by TheTerrainTutor.

Some good stuff is in the pipeline for these guys and it's wonderful to see them doing so well with their terrain and more.

Yummie! What more is there to say to sum it up. 4Ground is on a roll!

michel86

What a mini’s!
Enjoy it all!

alfonsothetraitor

Mell you have done a amazing job on that map.

contrakiller

I wish i was there

gobbo

Yes please! Love their terrain.

eddieharr

I absolutely love their terrain, and putting them together like puzzles!

quixol

WOW! Just wow…cant wait to play fabled realms. Just love their buildings and how easy it is to play with them.

stusidle

I built that Diner! Great kit, as you’d expect from 4Ground. The extra details, like the posters and signs which go up inside are fantastic.

blaeyn

Yes, please, fort and chests ftw.

noyjatat

Great to see the guys pulling out all the stops and the new minis for Fabled Realms look really nice. I hadn’t realised the ones at UK Expo were a larger size.

redyeti

Always really impressed with the stuff that 4ground put out! Man, I love the look of Fabled realms! And I really enjoyed watching terraintutor build that beautiful map!

blackspiral

Mel did really good! 4Ground stuff is always top notch of coarse.
Treasure chests always need treasure!

astralwraith

4Ground – pushing the boundary’s as always with their terrain & now those miniatures

janus1004

4Ground is going from strength to strength it feels! Nice stuff.

bigbadbazz

these guys are always so generous

wolf320f

love the terrain, are you sure you two wern’t separated at birth or maybe it was the gleam from those shiny bonces that had addled my wits…….

golonka

Yes, yes, we wants it, we wants it!

iceeagle85

Those treasure chests are awesome.

gillandriel

Good to see Ben’s hair is back 🙂
Would have loved to be in Indy and see those Sellswords in the flesh.

tchrin

Well it’s clear that the 4Ground guys and gals have sold their souls, as they seem to be incapable of doing wrong. Beautiful terrain, incredible minis, a fabulous world to play in, and a lovely bunch of people to boot! Now I just need to sell my own soul to be able to afford ALL of it!

hairybrains

Love the map, Mel you did a great job. Nice to see the final miniatures as well, looking forward to getting my hands on them

felfeni

It was good to see it built also

psychoticstorm

They always do fantastic work, though unfortunately I am more onto sci fi than fantasy.

noserenda

4ground stuff is always gorgeous…

eddator227

When in scenery you talk about quality, that os what you ate talking about, never get enought of. Sawing this buildings.
And now fabled realms is best to so double win! Well done.

core8ball

Looking at the three tables they had setup for games all I could think about was a Time Bandits games where you go from board to board in different time periods. Awesome setup guys!

harald0skald

interesting idea!

sakoguru

Those are some great looking buildings

weland

Remind the 4Ground crew we need 28mm Star Wars Terrain plus more Fallout terrain!

Oh yeah Game of Thrones terrain too!

spaced2020

haha – true

comoran

Yep!

gryphonheart

Their terrain is really awesome! As a bonus, it’s pre-painted, which is great as I totally suck at painting terrain. Don’t have any as yet, but definitely on my list of stuff to purchase in the future.

bennu

Could always do with a couple more treasure chests.

irondragon6

I love 4Ground, too bad the postage to USA is so expensive. Still, I pay the postage if I win a fort.

starminer

As always, 4ground has a lot of beautiful stuff. Can’t wait for the new game, and looking forward to more coverage of the game, and possibly a weekender when it’s finally ready?

Also, Mel, bang up job on the map. The finished product looks gorgeous!

firebuck

4ground seems like such a great bunch of people. Love their stuff and always wanting more. Best of luck to them and hope they keep rolling.

rgreenparadox

The Fabled Realms map turned out amazing! The production models look as good as the test sculpts. The treasure chests are very cute. So much genius in one company.

goban

There is treasure in them there hills. Not only are the buildings great but they are painted.

bors77

Can’t wait for the KS to roll in next year but honestly I am right now looking fwd to the new building in langerhome that Ben teased. Hopefully it will be out early next yr!

jpbrichta

Great work, guys! I really like the zombie board.

huscarle

Congrats to whoever won the previous Fyrburgh Fort

commodorerob

As always 4Ground have knocked it out of the park. I really wish I had the money to get in on fabled realms, some of those minis are just stunning, and the buildings are awesome 🙂

darthcheese

That fort is amazing! Love the finished map. So will we be seeing some Star Wars terrain from the 4ground guys?

lblunchboxlb

4Ground’s terrain is absolutely gorgeous!

laughingboy

When I get my gaming room sorted I must start investing in 4ground stuff the quality of it is just so good.

phaidknott

Me wanty Fort (it’s MASSIVE) 🙂

galadriel72

Looks great guys, as always, love the buildings. Looking forward to more games

warjack92

Nice looking terrain! i love the windmill

timhamill

Can never have enough terrain

lgeiger

These guys really kill it when it comes to terrain.

coxjul

Well done getting everything in place – I hope you’re “knocking it out of the ballpark” as the ‘Mericans might say!

Loving how the production FR minis have come out.

swbeil

The guys at 4Ground are so great they give so much back to the community.

antiphony

The chests are super spiffy.
Having the fort would awesome but the chests: they are just so useful.
Definitely want them.

lordbob

Amazing job Mel.

madagar

Seeing anything 4Ground makes me want a bigger house and have a smaller bank balance

shingen

Stakes are too high to resist.

bloodshadow

Love their terrain

macadams00

these guys are nuts …. in a good way.

braeirden

4Ground stuff is always such high quality. Looks awesome, game looks awesome, mini’s look awesome. So much awesomeness.

daegren

The 4ground crew are always just spot on. From terrain to now miniatures and attitudes.

barretem30

Foregrounds always has some great stuff, cant wait to see Fabled Realms.

panzertanker64

They really make some nice stuff.

tachycardia

Yes please!

turbocooler

I hope we see Joan of Arc terrain from them next year.

nosbigdamus

OMG when these people do something they go all in. All i can say is welcome to the Fabled Realms…. May your god look favored towards your dice rolling.

jmrecoil

4ground is so amazing, I love all their terrain. I would love to get a walking dead game in on that table!!!

meffi

Great stuff as always, really loving that windmill!

phoen31

I’ve been watching this fabled realms content for a really long time. IT’s totally worth it.. I think I’m going to become a late backer. Come on Americans, make these guys trip back much lighter!

lorgaroz

Damn you 4ground! Your stuff is always awesome! I gotta get me more of your stuff

waywarddarkwolf

Gawd Ben and Cad must be banging the red bull into themselves this weather.
GenCon on the back of the whole Fabled Realms Kickstarter. Fair play to you lads.

That Homeland Apocalypse table is awesome, if you get a chance can you show case it a bit more?

Mel’s creation is the star of the show though (followed closely by Ben’s beard – which he is yet to shave off by the way as it was technically part of the 100K fabled Realms Stretch goal). Fantastic job Mel, you really pulled off a blinder this time mate.

moondoggy

looks like some great stuff may have to try out that game definetly have to get some buildings for tables.

petey9

I’m super excited for my pledge to come, when it’s ready. That fort would make for some amazing games!

jamie13

ooohhh…. late backers available for fabled realms… might have to get on board with that

babone

Really awesome terrain!

longshotte

Really looking forward to playing Fabled Realms. All the terrain they have made for it is awesome. The bootcamp will really be a great time.

teddymademedoit

Fair play 4Ground always deliver its fantastic to see! Them and Terrain Tutor Mel are a match made in heaven, great work Mel on that map

eric522

4 Ground produce fantastic terrain. Their game world looks interesting. The map is amazing.

hargarpad

Shows they are seriously into it

dervan

fantastic display again and an awesome prize

morreion

Lovely models and terrain as usual

darkdanegan

Wow seeing all those full tables set up shows you just how good their stuff is. I’ve got a bunch of the Jesserai terrain but seeing that 40k table gives me the notion to push on and do a full table of it.

nikkel

Great terrain guys!

dane001

Absolutely love the 4ground stuff, it really is second to none.
The tables they build for their display games completely blow me away and they really inspire me to create some great ones myself.
That 3D map is amazing, I watched the videos from Mel but just want to say again it looks awesome.
Im loving the fabled realms and have gone into the kickstarter to get a couple of warbands, I’m fully into the mordenburg state guard and cant wait to get my hands on them.
As always theyre massively generous with the prize, such an amazing company and great people!

craddock169

The treasure chests are so amazing, great detail even down to the latch.

zaknafein5

I’m so happy I backed their kickstarter. Those minis look amazing. Their terrain is awesome as well. I will be starting putting some money aside to buy some of the terain when the kickstarter gets delivered.

mujamor

We want it!… You never have enough 4Ground terrain 😛

battlehawk

Yes please, the terrain is alway great from 4Ground.

ijontichy

The Map looks great! Well done!

Cheers!

marktarver

Played this at ukge and loved it, kickstarted and want as many gnome wizards as I can get lol

trewets

MEL epic map for epic company well done mate.

beeff86

Liking the look of all the homeland Apoc terrain. need some for my walking dead

aztecjaguar

The Homelands Apocalypse Terrain is Looking really awesome, especially the diner.
So far have only the Fire escapes from 4Ground adding detail to some brownstone
MDF buildings.

aussiegit

I love me some 4ground and cant wait until the fabled realms game is delivered love it!

chargerse67

The fort is amazing and the treasure chests look great.

while

So excited for the beat weekend!

while

Or beta..

bigdaddio

The 4Ground kits are always impressive. Interested to see how Fabled Realms turns out, too!

mbdeyes

That is amazing stuff. If I had the money, I’d have to buy a second house just to store all of the beautiful gaming stuff I’d be collecting. I’d have to have the full range from these guys… simply beautiful!

peas20

I would love to add more 4ground pieces to my collection!

cybermonkey

They just don’t release stuff that isn’t amazing do they?!?! Wow.

tornquistd

such high quality product most impressive

chaoshead87

I love these guys and their terrain, fantastic all around!

However, my gf and my wallet dislike them. Makes it even better imo. 🙂

graeme

Jelly beans not included

rainbow6

Some great looking stuff there!

lawnor

I’m watching this while painting. I wanted to ditch what I’m working on and grab those minis and start on them. They looked so crisp and amazing

saintpride

sick terrain!

madgolem

I can’t wait to get my stuff from the kickstarter! Fabled Realms looks awesome!

jabberwok13

Never head of these guys before. Great looking terrain! I have to check out that kick-starter.

lightsout1985

That map is bloody wonderful!

weyly

looks great

sebahaus

Miniatures are best and most realistic I ever saw.

nyilus27

4Grounds are on a roll and the only reason I haven’t backed Fabled Realms is because there were so many good kickstarters, but seeing the actual size miniatures is calling to me.

yojamesbo

Gonna go have another look at that KS now that it’s all settled. I love, love, love their terrain–use the western stuff for Malifaux myself.

jeffneely

Love the 4Ground stuff! Wish I could assemble it faster. Still have a bunch of Jesserai buildings to put together (for DzC). I particularly like how they’ve pre-colored some of the laser cut wood products. Sometimes that leaves it good enough for the table top as is. And then if you feel like it you can always add some additional color/shade on top to take it even further.

radegast6

Wow There was terrain on table that I build ! its so nice to see it I feel a bit proud of it. great that you have amazing time Cad and Ben and I hope Adam will get better very soon,

ugleb

Such nice things! Love the man’s little chest.

tennobushi

Always a pleasure to see Cad (and Ben!) in action.

uptrebor

Nice to see a British company doing well in all that chaos

siygess

Hah, when I think about 4Ground terrain I always imagine them completing a pass of a given project, and then clicking the “Zoom in” button and doing another pass, and another, and another, and another, until each kit has dozens of tiny greyboard pieces only a few millimetres wide in order to obtain the required level of detail.

..I do the same in Silhouette Studio!

zarg1

One of fhese days I’ll get to building that 4ground house I bought.

reiton

looking so nice 🙂

darkspi

can’t wait to play with the guards

fireblarney

I’ve yet to see a bit of 4Ground scenery I didn’t like. Really looking forward to getting my hands on my Fabled Realms stuff, just trying to work out which scenery bundle I’ll be adding to the pledge (we’re still thinking the all in bundle).

badgobo

love the walking dead table.

wesadie1969

Can’t wait for the beta weekend.

uezguersmaster

Whaaat? Are you guys really giving away a Fyrburgh Fort for free? Isn’t that the £240 Fort from your webstore???

hazyboy75

So pleased Fabled Realms is going well, 4ground, top guys!

Ah UPS one of the less reliable choices but I guess with huge pallets you’re kind of limited

Love the water effects on the map

trinitty

Here is y comment 😉
Mel, the map is beautiful.
May be i have to pledge FR.

nooblord

Great looking stuff as always from 4ground

benmoor

Looking good!

cbrenner

This is where the majority of money went. That map by Mel was superb! Great job Mel.

darthsarak

I noticed Matt and Rich from Steamforged in the background. Does this mean we’ll see some 4ground terrain for their upcoming games!?!?

tmon

That is a beautiful map.

khy0te

Mel’s map is amazing, I’m happy that the guys at 4Ground are having such success with Fabled Realms, and as usual the terrain from 4Ground is stunning.

kadmon

Looks awesome!

lunchbox

Gorgeous terrain as always.

sunabe

So glad I backed fabled realms. Those mini’s are class

szuhayeva

This looks fantastic!

julianb

It is so great to see a company like 4Ground just growing from strength to strength. Their products are superb and they have to be some of the nicest people in the industry. I really wish them all the success with their game Fabled Realms as they have put so much effort into it. They are all so passionate about what they do and this really does translate into their superb products. Thank you to you guys for once again being so generous with prizes.

jahatch28

All the 4Ground stuff is so good… amazing boards and love that they cater to so many types of terrain and themes.

neoscream

4Ground terrain always looks amazing.

deadhead

4 ground are always so generous with there prizes wow great stuff

falerox

Their scenery is so amazing…

spaced2020

Got to love the Walking Dead table 🙂
And that Fabled Realms Map by Mel is just amazingly cool! Love the effort he put into it, totally paid off 1000 percent. 4Ground do lovely buildings and scenery, but I have to say the miniatures for Fabled Realm are beautiful in design and sculpt.
Wish I could have been part of the kickstarter but I will have to wait for general release. I feel my roleplaying friends would love to start some new characters based on those miniatures for a new campaign – and why not in fabled Realms?

pojoh

Very cool

skeld1980

I’ve backed Fabled Realms and cannot wait for it to arrive!

hargarpad

Looks ace!

harald0skald

This was a cool show

paragon

I love 4ground and I love seeing them on Beasts of War! More more more please.

baranora

Fabled Realms is cool

safonol

Gotta love 4Ground, they’re particularly great for All Out War terrain!

jollyfather

Can’t wait to get my copy of Fabled Realms!

icewolff

4ground still on top in mdf kits, prizy but very nice ! hope to win a prize

wallslam

4ground do make the best scale buildings, with great level of detail.
P.s nice fabled realm map by Mel the Terrain Tutor.

danamonsterzuul

4Ground is my go to for fantasy terrain but I love seeing the other lines they’ve been developing terrain!

Every single line is amazing and they have been rolling out such a wide range of genre terrain they really are doing a fantastic job!

With the addition of their own game I’m really happy to see them tearing it up! Great job, 4Ground!

warfield

An own game does improve inspiration 🙂

cracken

Can’t wait for this kickstarter to arrive, it all looks great!

dizzy

Stil amazing to see what they do with lasercut wood…. When can I order the chests???

brigadoom

Some of the best scenery in gaming, Fabled Realm looks great.

firion

4ground terrain is always awesome to play with

somegeezer

The map looks fantastic. Hats off to Mel and safe journey back!

preewarsalad

Good lord that is one generous prize. Practically a whole table!!

szilona

This is so cool!

thebloke

The detail on those models is incredible. And great terrain pieces as usual. 4Ground never fails to amaze me. Those treasure chests would be great with Blood and plunder….

otakugirl

Fantastic show!

megsmith

This was lovely!

harigeri

Color me interested!

theticky

the terrain they do is assume well be getting alot more of there goodness on my tables

redvers

Love the 4Ground stuff. Easier than an IKEA table to put together and looks wonderful without any extra effort. These guys are doing some great stuff and deserve to continue to do well.

kadmon

And it’s better than IKEA in that if you damage that during assembly, you can just call it battle damage

theamazingmrg

You may take our land, but you’ll never take (or give!) our freebies!

orku

Yes please! 4Ground rocks! Every time they come back w something cool!

guillotine

4Ground, always in with a massive prize. The production scale Fabled Realms stuff looks gorgeous, I’m so happy I pledged (a lot) on the Kickstarter. Can’t wait for it all to deliver.

mliguori

Such a solid company, glad to see thier hard work paying off

stormshriek

as always, the terrain is stunning. You guys are amazing.

jamjarst

The map came out brilliantly

staxer

Nice one

horus500

Some of the most amazing new miniatures and easily the best fantasy scenery collection for fantasy at Gencon. Btw, that map looks even better in real life than it did on the show. The windmill is the best piece of new terrain I’ve seen in years

hackareatech

It’s 4Ground, so it’s automatically cool.

sheepman

Loving the sculpts , especially the archer

poentje

Very nice windmill, it spins for real, just great.

arrrgh

they have the best scenery on the market!
