So does this thing count as a fortification? or is it just terrain?

Just terrain (as of now). The fortifications you are allowed to take are all in the BRB.

so then its more or less for planet strike? because i could not see some one agreeing to let the opposing team use it for free lol

I wouldn't be surprised if the next guard codex lets you take guard-specific fortifications. Like how the new codices are coming out with codex-specific warlord traits.

I'm still surprised the Wall of Martyrs didn't have it's own rules. People were hoping it was going to be a fortification atleast.

Also, it's been floating around that Tau are supposed to get a special fortification. Though the rumor could just be a rehashing of the FW drone turrets, so I find it highly unlikely. There were rumors that each faction was supposed to get a special fortification just like some get their own psyker powers and all are getting their warlord traits.

hmmm idk about a guard specific fortification, i mean i know it plays great with them, but it does not take a rocket surgeon to use a trench lol

lol, while true what other army really would use trenches? Space Marines are too big and honorable to use such pitiful cover, Orks are....Orks, Tyranids can't really make them, and it doesn't really fit with the battle strategies of the Eldar races. I mean, the only armies that might use a trench system logically are the Tau and Imperial Guard (and the Tau would be much more advanced than what's given hahahaha)

fair enough
i mean marines use the FoR figured they could use a trench haha
