Do the cities of death buildings (specifically the manufactorum) come with the option of assembling them either intact or ruined? I'm wondering this because I want to build an intact manufactorum for a project (shh, it's a secret ), but I can't afford 2 (nor do i want to need 2 kits for one building). Remember, the sooner you answer, the sooner i can post pics of my secret project!

Well, there are quite a few pieces that aren't ruined.
There are not enough to build the complete building intact, though.

You can go for a smaller manufactorum, or manufactorum inspired building.

Every CoD building has 'ruined' parts.
To build it intact will lead to a very small building.

Thanks for the swift reply
I guess I will just have to see how big of a building I can make, and if it's not big enough, I'll make it big enough!

Or several kits used in order to make an intact one.

The CoD "building kits" are a misnomer - they only make ruins out of the box - and ruins are NOT buildings (at least under 5th edition).
The rules for buildings/ruins have changed from 3rd and 4th ed (and cityfight and CoD).

My advice is to buy 3-5 manufactorums, and combine them into a single one.

Do the same thing to the Basilica Administratum, the big black building (whatever it's called) and the shrine of aquila.
Then buy some barricades, battlefield accesories and the Honoured Imperium kit.

Make a massive CoD gaming board or a mega diorama.

Yes, there are intact parts in the manufactorum kit, but they come in very limited numbers.

actually, i have been thinking about leaving it as a ruin: can't afford more than one atm, and it is just for an outpost kind of thing, anyway.
Also, it would be easier for gaming if I used it as a ruin: partially because it would be much more difficult to survive the nearby reactor's explo... I said too much. Now, who wants tea?
