Robots and now a terrain kit I was glancing at before. Interested to see how it is. Liking it so far with that clip fitting.

Yes, it appears that you could even paint all the sections separately and rearrange the building every time if you wish to.

Wow, I am very impressed at the size!

The fancy masonry greeblies are my favorite, it makes this building usable in any era from Victorian to grimdark

I like the look of that. How do the sections compare to Cities of Death bits, in regard to height?

You only get one door with the set, but 2 storeys worth of walls, plenty of angled parts too (4 more than you need to make two rectangular floors-2 extra inside and 2 extra outside angles to build the cutout shape on the front of the box ). Notice the tabs on top, makes it super easy to add scratchbuilt brick upper storeys if you wish to build a typical city building with shops on the first floor and apartments above.

i think...wait for it... thats waht she said?

and that looks quite fluffy!
in fact the stone work reminds me of that masonry that used to be seen at towpenny tower and the style for that... *nudge, nudge, nudge*

and funny that you show just that big door dave... i won an ebay auction for that very bit... somehow i need to make something worthwhile for that piece!

Yes, it COULD be very Tenpennyish..except for the masonry, I'll need to cast the masonry bitz for tenpenny myself

Well, this is what you get in the box

Unfortunately, not enough big window bits to build a big rectangular 2 storey, but an extra one built OOB. I think maybe that is the gimmick, more sets, more panels
Those are the included heavy cardboard floor panels, but plasticard has made those obsolete

@Vik, I prefer the other side of that door, I favor it in my projects

I can picture a skyshield landing pad jutting off of that gap in the back at about the penthouse level

Hopefully, Fantasy Flight will have piles of them at GenCon, they have a HUGE presence there every year. If anyone can take GW down, they can do it pumping out great products like this

Well that kit is $20.97 through miniature market. Best price I saw through a fast search. They are local to me, so id have to pay taxes, but still cheaper than warstore, but I think vik would match him.
