Hi there folks! Thanks for swinging by, all comments and tips/suggestions are appreciated. I'm going to slowly add more pictures to the post. I'm going to post the pictures and a small synopsis of what I intend to do with them further for a post.
First up is the "completed ones". I still have to pick out details and put a varnish coat on to protect for damage.
This is the general flat semi-tiered building. I just wanted something that can act as a fat LoS blocker. The first three have the little "crown" and extra area on top still attached, while the 4th is it separated.
I still plan on putting either plasticard or cardboard on the windows. Not enough to block all LoS but just enough to make it semi obscured and as kinda realistic as I can get.

The next building I am posting was originally apart of another project but I had to scrap the board tile I was attached to when I moved. I still am going to put a base on the inside and put debris and a small diorama inside the building but I wont get too crazy with it.
I still plan to put some form of barred windows on portions of it. I would like to add small crates with ammunition and get some brass tubing for the spent shells.

Sorry that second one there looks like crap but you get the gist of the picture I'm sure haha.
This one I wanted to add a base on the ground and put a munch of chopped up "feral guardsmen" and Chaos lookin bodies. Make it look like a messed up kinda last stand. Add tons of ammo and bodies and weapon bits.

This next one I made as another LoS blocker and hopefully a spot that will allow some use as an Infiltrator set up or allow something with Scouts to grab the parapet. I will still add some plasticard on the windows and get it all ready.
The ones after are just some standard ruins I'm adding. I plan on doing the same nonsense of the shell casings, the boarded up windows and the basing on the ground. However I do intend to add some I-beams and girding to the ceiling portions.

That's good progress, if a bit boring. I'd have gone MDF instead of the rather expensive plastics. What will really make the game is all of the detritus or junk. Don't forget that stuff!

This final bit is the big mama I've been working on, its going to be a full on tower. Though to be frank I'm unsure if I should add another level or not. Please feel free to let me know on that one. The windows on this one wont be plasticard or anything like that, theyre going to be transparent sheets with gel pens and ink. I'm trying to make it a stained glass window. I'll have portions shattered and sprinkle the broken portions on each floor. I'm placing a lure lock type of connection on each floor so I can have the tower be as large as I need it to be.

Oh yeah I know its pretty boring as it is right now haha. Thats why I plan on adding all of the little bits to it all. I just am getting my toes into building terrain. So I went with that crazy crap GW sells. I think after this last Sector box (there is still one NIB) I will be using cardboard and plasticard.
