Looks plastic to me, five of em, all more or less identical.

Now how long will it take them to release it...

Cool I guess. Pretty big too. Im much more interested in the Eldar Support Weapons though. I like em

Not enough skulls IMO.

They've gone for the quality of skulls with this one rather then quantity.

Those appear to have been custom built using the huge plastic "stone" skulls from the Temple of Skulls kit. However, if they were to make those into a kit, I'd buy a pile of them. Cool stuff for us Chaos themed modelers especially.

As it uses the skulls from the "Temple of Skulls" and some parts from the bastion gun, I assume it is just a conversion cast by the terrain crew of GW. Of course it is still possible they release it, as it has skulls

Edit: Arrgh ninja'd

I'd buy it- looks pretty awesome! Would work really well as the boundary to a city, or fortress: huge wall, breached by undermining, CoD buildings within, and these towers standing sentinel to prevent artillery strikes. However an Elite Force team has infiltrated the sewer network, and if it can locate and destroy the power generator, then the main assault will be unstoppable...

Atmospheric, non?

Or you could use just the slabs to build some huge gates.

Think it will be some kind of kit for sale, As gw don't use that much converted terrain in their promo shots these days.

Pretty cool looking, and would be a nice looking kit.

By the Tower of Grey Skulls, I have the Power(shield)!

With pieces like the skulls, grids on the floor, the electric bits on top looking exactly like the pieces from existing kits and a variable thickness of the base, I think these are just conversions.

Nice one!

Sadly, blocked at work, though if it is a GW thing, and we're talking about skulls, I suppose I've already seen it, in some form or other...

I find it amusing in almost all of these threads people think this stuff is converted and its virtually always things they sell later :p Why would GW convert stuff for photo ops? They want you to BUY IT later

Of course its the skulls from the WFB chaos skull terrain and the bastions.. They use CAD and can swap anything they want to make NEW terrain pieces with the touch of a button

Here you go!

That is the first terrain kit that GW has made that I think sucks.

Howard A Treesong wrote:Not enough skulls IMO.

When too much of skulls is not enough.

...

It's not been announced, confirmed, or even hinted at as a terrain kit.

The people on this forum boggle my mind sometimes...

As for the "scanner" looking bit next to the wrecked Chimera, which was brought up in the other thread--it's one of the fuel canisters from the Battlefield Accessories pack.

There have been A LOT of recent photos with those roads in them. They're more than likely the FW ones, but when things like these start making their way into multiple photos...

Mark my words... A road set is coming from GW.

They look like the roadmats that GW sell/sold, actually.

Those skull pilons would look real good alongside that temple of skulls set for my traitor guard's display board.

Nope, those are FW road segments.

Which are currently missing from the FW site, maybe left off for an upcoming conversion to plastic?

Is that supposed to be one of those power fields like they had in Starship Troopers?


It reminds me of those little power fences like in the Battle of McKragg boxed set with the genestealers.

Not a fan of this one, it really looks like someone just slopped it together and threw it out there for no other reason then to add a couple of more skulls.

garbage.

I'm not a fan. The way I would have done it would be that in each skull's eye-holes would be a smaller skull. Additionally, instead of teeth, each "tooth" would be a small skull.

And do I see more skulls on the LRBT turrets?

Those skulls walls aren't that great, the manticore tank is better.

You've got it all wrong. Quantity *is* a sign of quality. More skulls=better. True facts.

Not a huge fan myself of the skull towers - not enough detail. If I want huge out of scale skulls a little shopping at halloween takes care of it.

A road kit, on the other hand, would not be without interest.
