Huh. Well, at least it has some way to get down from it, but it seems like a ramp would make a lot more sense, and not irritate the Emperor's Disable Citizen's Rights Inspectors Space Marines as much.

The PS book has a nice conversion that has a loading ramp.

I noticed the ladder on the legs but they're not what I'd call good access. I saw a conversion of sorts in the next WD where someone had made a tower next to it with an elevator. It needs something like that, I just thought as a stand alone set it should have a quick access ramp included in the box.
While typing this I just realised that the easiest fix is simply to not put the legs on it, it doesn't have to be elevated off the ground, oh well.

Where are the hatches through the landing pad that H.B.M.C. mentioned?

So long as they weren't born that way, disabled people are dear to the blessed Emperor and mobility ramps are mandated throughout the Imperium.

No one's really disabled as long as they have faith in the Emperor..

I'm confused. The WD I read yesterday was the first time ever I saw this building here.

How could I have missed that?

**1hadhq**

how?

-parts of this were used in the background of some IG pics....asked for it but nobody cared...
-the kit was added later to the pre-order pieces too.

**sonofruss**

Not to mention they used a obscene amount of them on the chapel in the big rule book.

**Anung Un Rama**

Yeah, but back then we only thought it might come out as a box.

Looking good! Just subscribed on Youtube.

Any chance we/i could get the dimensions of the bastion and sky shield, im designing a new table for PS trying to get and idea of the size of these things.

**Orangecoke**

I actually thought the dark angels themed Fortress of (Redemption?) in the Planetstrike rulebook might be a kit. Everything on it looks like it was mass produced. I guess it could just be super-duper skilled scratchbuild.
