So here I sit looking at the Fortress of Redemption.

On one hand it's a big massive inflexible terrain piece and I already have a city worth of those.

On the other hand it's a Barbie Dream House for my little plastic men complete with working elevator and a closet for their pretty dresses...

To buy or not to buy...

Y'know if it had a little jail cell I could lock Cobra Commander in or a working Trash Compactor filled with foam I'd get it in a heart beat...

**despoiler52**

How much? I might get it, but that's beacuse I would love to "Orkify" it, so many pretty details, it's a painters paridise. In games terms it's nothing special, but if you pride yourself on your scenary, then it is defantly one of a kind.

**Kid_Kyoto**

$100.

Or $75 when the Warstore's sale starts Thursday.

Or um... several 1000 of a kind as the case may be.

**despoiler52**

I would wait till the sale, if they sell out before you get there, it was never meant to be.

**Darth Bob**

Well, it is a limited run, so you better make up your mind fast!

I think if you've got a Space Marine army (especially DA) you should defenitely pick one up. It'd make one hell of a bastion in a Planetstrike game.

**Brother SRM**

I'm pretty sure they confirmed it's not a limited run. There's no reason to just discontinue an expensive plastic mold for the sake of it. (Space Hulk notwithstanding, but that was because the tiles and the like were very expensive to produce)

If Dark Angels were still my main army, I'd get that thing in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, the Angels of Darkness broke my heart.

**Cheese Elemental**

It's easily converted so that it won't be The Fortress Of Space Marines Named After A Gay Poet's Literature.

Get rid of the big angel thing and make a big greenstuff Wolf That Stalks the Stars and you've got a right wolfy fortress.

**SagesStone**

Or just file off any of the Dark Angels symbols and it's just another SM fortress

**wuestenfux**

It looks absolutely cool.
I postpone to buy it for boycott reasons (we want the codex but got a fortress).

**nyyman**

Would be nice to have.
Would not be nice to spend money on it

**Superscope**

Bah... too much SPESH MAREINS! stuff imho. Get some tau / eldar / ork / nid / necron / dark eldar terrain going. It's like not the imperium is the ONLY people defending anything worth of vaule... right? Or do we just invade imperial worlds because all the other people hate them?

**Jackmojo**

Aside from how they chose to market it I'm not really sure what's so space Marine-y about this (human oriented sure, but not SM specific), angels are hardly Space Marine only.

I've got one on preorder cause I think it looks dandy, but then I need a nice looking fortress for siege games anyway.

Yep, never heard this complaint before.

Most people play Imperial armies, most terrain is therefore Imperial. Simple business sense. They're allegedly working on some Tyranid terrain soon though. As for Orky terrain? The only person who can't make Orkified terrain just lacks imagination. Anything can be looted, anything can be Orked up.

**Lint**

I wouldn't mind chaosifying this. Throw a bunch of crucified guardsmen on the ramparts, it could be cool.

**combatmedic**

Its not Space Marine terrain, its Dark Angel terrain.

And last time I checked there is not that much SM terrain, its all civy and IG junk thats to small for my men in robes.

I still consider this a apology for what they did to the army.

Half accepted.

**despoiler52**

This is why I love orks, you take any piece of terrain, and follow the three step program.
Step 1: Paint it as you normaly would
Step 2: Attack it with a pin vice and knife (the big the better)
Step 3: Glue a couple odds and ends on it.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Decided not to. I have too much terrain already and most of it is unpainted.

But I am tempted, yes, yes I am.

shikari shitte Kyoto san!

**sniperjolly**

I just bought one today... It is now the feet and legs of a warlord titan... What have I got myself into?

**Sirius42**

Not interested myself, the giant dark angels i can live with but i just cant stand the dark angel shields all over the main emplacement

**chromedog**

Not interested.
Would rather 3-4 bastion sets for the money.

**despoiler52**

I generaly play in places that have terrain, so I just generaly use the old faithful klenex box as terrain. Plus too much of my miniatures are unpainted for me to be destracted by a pretty building, and damn it IS pretty.

...and then I can use Shrines of the Aquilla as shoulders and Mechanicum kits to build the body and bastions for the main gun turrets and...

Get thee behind me Sniperjolly!

Tempt me not!

**H.B.M.C.**

Just bought three of them.

Ok, they're not all for me. One of them is for me and the other two are for friends. Used Wayland games and everything (Maelstrom is sold out).

**Aduro**

Getting one for the FLGS terrain. I've already got one guy who has told me he's Going to paint it, he didn't give me an option.
