Review - First Strike Armoured Containers miniature scenery from Games Workshop
The First Strike Armoured Containers is the inner tray of the Warhammer 40.000 Ed8: First Strike Starter Set that has its sides printed as three Munitorum Armoured Containers.
The surface is shiny, but I think it's unavoidable, unless you use matte spray to remove the shine.
The containers look out of place on both sides of the First Strike Playing Mat in my opinion, but at least you have the option to use that to add to your mat. The only place the container scenery looks "right" is right on the crater of Side A), or blocking the roads on either side. It's exactly as long as the roads are wide, so they could totally block it.
The containers look okay, they probably stack, so you could use them for a warehouse. They would look nicely on an Infinity terrain too.

Size comparison of the The Eiras Contract tiles miniature scenery from Mantic Games with 1:56 (28mm / 32mm) scale with First Strike Playing Mat and First Strike Armoured Containers from Games Workshop company. |
You can totally cover the outside of the First Strike Armoured Containers with 9x6 tiles from The Eiras Contract tiles without overlapping. If you turn the container scenery upside down, you can fill the bottom with tiles. You can also cover the inside walls. Those are 2 tiles high, so you can cover them with some 2x3 tiles, but there will be a small overlap.
