The battle sanctum kit comes as a central structure, a seperate large statue and a few optional extras such as parts for a freestanding pillar (its obvious where some go but their is no mention of them in the instructions).

The artwork show the large statue being placed above to a couple of inches to the left of and a couple of inches behind the main structure.

Obviously anything inside the structure counts as within.

What happens if i deploy the statue to left of the structure or behind the broken portion of the structure as the artwork shows. Does the area between statue and wall count as within for rules purposes even if your otherwise exposed.

If it does how far from the structure is reasonable placement.

This falls under "Modelling for advantage". In short, you need to define what "within" is at the start of the game with your opponent. There is no RaW answer because the rules don't cover this scenario.

I recognise their isnt a strict RAW in this case - and yes certainly agree with your opponent - best RAW answer.

I guess I was looking more for an aggregate RAI or HIWPI

Fair enough. I personally would consider only the central structure to be the actual sanctum, the statue is just window dressing.

That being said, since it's a "single model" then you can argue that all parts of the model count as being measurable to regardless of how it's assembled.

You’ll either need to base the whole thing, in which case it’s easy to define ‘within’, or agree the boundary with your opponent before the game so both parties are clear on what counts. Same as most other terrain really.
