Well that's disappointing. They aren't doing new tiles, just giving you two of the old ones...and the tiles with the annoying freaking skull pits that you have to cover up at that.
If they ever did do a new section, it'd just be a 2x2 square with skulls all over it. Even on the bottom. Everywhere.
Fortress looks cool, I wish they would have posted up pics of the sprues though, or a built version of the actual kit instead of the obvious master that the studio's painted up. I want to know how the kit that I'll get will look when built...

Alternativelt, just one large 2'x2' skull, with smaller skulls filling the eyepits, and spikes all over (ingraved with skull faces)
Cus, y'know, skullz.
Doesn't stop me hoping for a river section though.

The Megaforces seem tempting for me to get.
The SM is $285, and the Orks $295 respectively, in AUD. I worked out that if you bought the components seperately, it's a savings of roughly $100. Buying those boxes from reputable online stores would cost me just over $150 AUD, saving me about another $140. Hmmm..... maybe GW did something right for once.

I'm actually building a table now which is a 6x4 skull, which is made of tiny skulls. There is a themed army that goes with it, with a skull shaped tank that shoots little skulls out of the eyes. I'm calling my army Grimdark Skulls Skullforce.

agreed. the "expansion" they've come up with is a bit disappointing. there's nothing new, its just an easy way to make more money. however it does say that its "The first expansion pack for the Gameboard" in the description, so i wouldn't be surprised if GW released more interesting boards just after these. so that everyone thats desperate for an 8'x4' board rushes to get it, but then brings out a decent expansion so they go out again to buy the second expansion aswell to make the battlefield more interesting....or is that just me being cynical?

That Imperial Warzone is enough terrain for a 6'x8' table. My battlewagons would not be able to deploy if all that crap were crammed onto a 4'x6' table.

That's because GW also expect you to buy the Realm of No Imagination board expansion to make an 8X4 table!

Sorry, was under the impression it was a limited run, which was why the cost was so high when released. I take it all back if I was wrong in this assumption.

It's cost was high, I suspect, because the Chinese manufacturer quoted one price, then quoted a higher one when they realised it couldn't be done for the lower price.
