No, those containers are different. They were originally made to fit the Thunderhawk Transporter, but were never put into production for whatever reason

It's because GW doesn't want you to make your own or buy them elsewhere. It's just GW expanding their ecosystem of products in their desire to be more like Apple.

Ah fair enough, I actually went back and google imaged the Calth board and yes they are different, but similar enough that I can try to emulate Calth space port.

The containers look pretty nice. Not too horrible priced either if it's 3 for £20.

The bases seems quite competitively priced as well if it's indeed 60 of them for £25 (although I doubt the wisdom of only selling such a large pack). It's a bit weird actually that it's taken this long for GW to offer textured bases, considering they've been sold by 3rd party manufacturers for years and years.

It's also a bit weird that GW never produce any alien terrain, but always go for the imperial stuff. Of course, the majority of armies are marines, guard or other imperial forces and a imperial battlefield is kinda the default, but this is the kind of terrain that's the easiest to make yourself and where the 3rd party competition is the most fierce.

If they produced some Eldar or Tau terrain they would have almost no competition and these types of smooth, organic stuff without much straight lines isn't something many people can build themselves.


There is an entire line of Tau terrain/fortifications that were recently released.

I guess. But those were more like gaming pieces weren't they and priced way, way above what most people are willing to pay for terrain. Plus, weren't they a limited release?

No they're still very much in-store at the moment.

60 bases for £20? Yeah, I'll be getting that. The terrain looks nice and usable as well.

I didn't notice the storm bolters at first. Funny! I don't recall a story about a dock foreman eating a shot to the face because he didn't key in the correct passcode before picking up the crate with a forklift.

But now I want that in the next Dan Abnett book.

Not saying you can't get cheaper alternatives however 90% of the containers out there are just bad mdf versions and most of the plastic ones don't open either to be decent cover type structures. I'd pick up at least one box mostly because they fit one of the board themes I have, industrial waste war zone with promethium pipes, gale force 9 toxic ponds, etc.

Looking more closely at the photos it looks as though the storm bolters just plug in so can easily be left off.

Also looks like the containers stack like lego bricks which is kinda cool.

How limited is limited? I can buy them right now.

I like these containers. Yes, there are cheaper ones (usually MDF), but most of the ones I've seen are ... crap. Only the OOP ones from AT-43 and 4Ground's new ones are any good, IMO.

The containers look really great. They look similar to the ones scattering forge world gaming boards. Are they limited???

Are the bases plastic??? And are they limited???

I appreciate them releasing more terrain options, my only concern is how it will be priced.

If I played regularly on that Sector Imperialis RoB board, I'd get a load of these bases. I've not done that much work on my Emperor's Children army yet, so I could rebase. As it is, though, I don't, so I'll stick with what I've got. No point having urban bases when your army is tramping through scrubland.

If those gemstone paints really work, I would love that. I hate how lusterless my Blood Angels gems are, it would be grand if they provide a good effect.

One other really good place to use on the eyepieces of Space Marine helmets. I am going to snap up the green and red versions if they actually work.

Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is a high grade, composite material that performs better than solid wood in many areas. Made from recycled wood fibers and resin, MDF is machine dried and pressed to produce dense, stable sheets. MDF is more stable than solid wood and stands up better to changes in heat and humidity.
