Does anyone know how well the new ruins fit on the FW Realm of Battle Cityscape tiles? I haven't found any photos of it yet.

This guy has some shots on the FW tiles with the new buildings:

As you can see, some are a tight fit where the buildings are covering the sidewalk. I have the FW industrial sector, so I intend to mix the new buildings with the old ones, using the new ones for the tiles with a bigger footprint like the Shattered Plaza or the Primus Sector as you mentioned.

The one he did for the "Primus Sector" looks tremendous, I might have to copy him.

As for the wall sections, the old are approximately 48mm wide while the new are 62mm. With the old ruins, the walls overlap in the rightmost corner, so you have to add 5mm to the width. In the case of the "Shattered Plaza", a new ruin, 4 sections wide would fit nicely, but without the flying buttresses.

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to combine the old and new kits, but you'd have to use them for different floors, because the proportions are too dissimilar. The Basilica Administratum walls would be the best fit for the new ruins, and they would work well as a set-back top floor.

Couldn't find it earlier in the thread, but I've still got tons of bits and a couple of whole sprues left over from the old cities of death kits. Are any of the new kits compatible with the old COD?

Not easily; the floor heights are different (and not a direct multiple), as are the panel widths.

Bummer. Thanks for the response. I'll probably still pick up some of them but won't be going nuts.

'pardon the ',mancy.
