Way to slippery, even with some paint on it. Not to mention the ridges are at such a high angle that minis just fall off the blasted thing

IIRC, that looks a lot like an OLD OOP terrain piece GW made. Might be re-releasing it though....

Agree 100%.

Pretty Terrain. Horrible for actual game play.

They wouldn't be vacuform plastic. There's no way Vacuform could even pretend to have detail like the dead Cadians around it. Also, I'm pretty sure they learned their lesson after the disaster that was the Planetstrike craters.

Tangential to the actual topic at hand, if someone produced something you could temporarily put under your models to act as a spacer that could conform to the impossible edges of those craters, allowing your model to balance flatly atop it, would that be the kind of thing you would be interested in?

So basically instead of something like the Spearhead expansion, it'll be more like a few more "named" terrain items with specific special rules --ala Sky Shield, Aegis Defence Line, et al-- with their rules released in a WD article?

Basically, but with several named pieces and a few Xenos ones as well, though I understand it will be bigger than Spearhead but not an actual expansion.

Any chance of a xenos kit in this rumoured expansion??

There are some according to my source, He didn't say what. However, he did mention that it's not all "Imperial" Terrain

Megacut over at Warseer wrote:I saw the new unreleased White Dwarf today, this in the pre-order section for AUS$205/NZ$240. You get 3 defense lines, 2 encampments and 1 bunker, plus a bunch of barricades. It has special sections for heavy weapons teams. It looked quite extensive. There was a bunch of new Chaos too, plus some old Chaos being re-done in finecast.

I think it was CSM. I didn't really look at them much. It looked like marines of some sort, but don't take my word for it. And like I said, new finecast stuff. Judging by how the wall was shown, I'm thinking megabundle. The box cover showed the whole defence line with some smaller barricades about it.
