Burn In Designs: Metro City

As the saying goes, "When you die in the city, going to hell is considered a promotion."

Metro City is a tough place to live in. Crime and corruption on one end and high society elitism on the other. Both working together to crush or control those caught in the middle. The strongest will survive and the rest...we don't talk about the rest.

Our modern world kits are designed as an entryway into modern gaming. From modern and near-future tactical shooters like Infinity and Mercs to superhero fairs like Batman Miniatures and DC Legends, or post-apocalyptic games like This is Not a Test, we have you covered. Huge buildings, modular designs, shipping docks, and fire hydrants, all the bits to make your city unique.

Metro City Quick Buildings

We all love to play on nicely finished tables with wonderful terrain but with those full tables comes an issue, how do you store and transport all that terrain. Standard buildings look great but are easily damaged in transport and take up a lot of space. There are numerous cardstock solutions to the storage problem but they tend to be flimsy and unstable. They also are sensitive to warping due to humidity.

The Quick Building line hopes to address that issue. The buildings are designed to give you the ease of storage seen in cardstock buildings with the durability of wood. Each kit is designed to store flat when not in use so you can fit an entire table's worth of buildings in a single manageable box. The buildings all use an interlocking panel system and come in 2 and 3 story variants.

To keep with the simplicity of cardstock buildings, these buildings are designed to be skinned with printable brick and stone patterns to get them to the table as quickly as possible. Includes with your order will be a download link to several base patterns, windows, and doors that you can mix and match design your buildings. You can also rescale buildings like those from World Works Games for a seamless transition from cardstock to rigid buildings.

If you want to take the buildings even further while still maintaining the storage benefits, we offer add-on kits to further customize each building. Each building has a series of connection points for awnings, balcony, and fire escape kits. These are designed to handle base sizes up to 50mm so even large figures and safely be placed on them with little fear of models falling. To expand even further we offer various surface-mount door and window kits, building sign frames and rooftop accessories to really customize the buildings.

Now you can have that super dense table without all the storage hassles. Get your order in now.
