15mm Terrain Ruins

Did you know? Modern ruins explained:

Load Bearing Masonry

Most wargaming terrain ruins are actually based on pre-WWII construction methods. Ruins seen in WWII are usually load-bearing masonry from earlier building stock.

The strongest part of masonry buildings are the corners, which is why you usually see the corners intact more so than the slabs and middle of the walls. Timber construction was typical for flooring, which often collapsed from fire.

Realistic Modern Ruins explained

I saw in a Facebook group, someone had shared a picture of their (lovely) sci-fi city. Except their mechs didn’t look right amongst the 1910’s New York looking table. Why? Because the windows were too small!

With the adoption of reinforced concrete structural systems, lightweight, non-load bearing walls and larger windows were possible.

In the tabletop wargaming context, you can imagine that explosions and combat have destroyed or damaged much of the non-load bearing masonry veneer.

(the facade walls)

BUT the structural system comprised of the:

Central core, which provides structural bracing and lateral stability
Reinforced concrete columns
Reinforced concrete slabs

have mostly remained intact.

Rebar-counters, eat your heart out!

I’m probably over-explaining it but you might find this interesting! There weren’t any terrain designs that I’ve seen represent ruins with these modern concrete structures.

Finally - modern 15mm ruins for your Cold War and modern Wargaming immersion!

Level Up Your Terrain Game

Features:

Position the ruined facade walls as you see fit - you can have one side of the building more ruined than the other. This also allows multiple kits to look unique.
Generous ceiling heights @ 36mm so you can actually fit your miniatures and hand in the building to move them around (Standard residential ceiling height would be 27mm)
15mm scale (1/100) ruined building terrain could represent many building types
The MDF ruins suits 15mm miniature games such as Team Yankee.

You might notice the earlier version in the cinematic pictures lacks a lift core - I found the earlier version was only stable when all the columns were glued in place. The production version in the photos is much easier to build, stronger and looks much better too!

We also have a 32mm scale Modern Ruins kit.
