Wonder the the price on those boxes are.

Seems like an odd choice for terrain considering how easy it can be to make cargo containers, and how many different manufacturers already offer them.

You say that, but it's easy to make generic sci-fi or modern-ish cargo containers. Making gothic-styled containers is, I can attest from experience, a soul-destroying, fiddly, irritating, time-consuming slog if you want them to look any good, and mindbogglingly repetitive if you want loads of them without resin casting.

At discounter prices, assuming they're not direct-only, I'd rather cough up and save my terrain building energy for projects that don't make me want to carve out my eyeballs with my own exacto knife out of sheer boredom.

Ok, I WAS excited with the bases, very much so, until I saw the paints

Man, why does GW start releasing even more cool stuff when I'm broke as a joke? Because they hate me, that's why.

Also, calling the special rules on the crates now:

"Emperor-wall formation: Requires six sets of crates that must be fielded in a straight line. Grants the following rules:

-Not as stupid as the Tidewall: You don't play Tau, so you auto don't-suck
-Grey is Good: If fielded unpainted (because who paints anything these days) the formation sits on the board and looks bad.
-We Totally Got You to Buy These: Queue a random GW employee to appear, cackle evilly, give the finger to any Australian players present, and knock over a Warmachine/Hordes display before running off into the night."

Honestly, I'm just annoyed I don't have any money...daddy wants some of these.

Edit: I'd meant to ask, because I hadn't seen it, but are the bases displayed in the OP the only ones? I'd be down for some other options too.

sounds like eco friendly ^^

Edit 1: mother of heavens it's beautiful

I'm just happy to get some official LOS blocking terrain.

Now if only GW had an aircraft or flat bed truck to carry those containers.

or does it make it part of the model Oo

I remember a few years ago, there was an Imperial Fist army pictured with containers/fortifications that looked like they had been converted using enlarged Rhino hulls.

One was decked up as a Techmarine's workshop with a large servo arm.

I'm still tempted although, as an IG player, I wonder if you can give them heavy stubbers.


Personally, as I was considering buying the Renegade game, I may have to throw in for a few large bases as well.

Hm, Im undecided if I like the containers.
For what its worth, they well represent the arrogance of dysfunctional Imperial design.
All that wasted stocking space by making the floor space narrow, and at the same time allowing boxes to slide and bang themself against the walls during transport.

Its anoyingly stupid in design (not to mention the mounted weapons) -but I think thats what I like about them.

Why are there bolters attached to those containers?

There's also various mysterious control systems that the tech priests are way of. One control seems to activate a field that holds everything rigidly in place. They've come to the conclusion that the machine spirit is angered by its pressing and will hold the contents in spite regardless of the tech priests ministrations and holy oils. They've labelled it off limits and will reduce anyone fiddling to servitor components. There's another button labelled "off", but no one knows what that does...!

I guess the idea is that IG / SM use these as temporary fortifications that can be quickly dropped in place. Which, surprisingly enough, actually does make sense.

Hmm.. This feels almost too sensible and usable to be a 40k terrain release. And not too many skulls either! Although it's probably way overpriced, but anyway.

These are nice, but they seem slightly out of place. Not Gothic enough - too modern Sci-Fi looking. Depending on the price, though, these might be competitive in comparison to the other shipping containers that are readily available (and really nice looking) out there from MDF laser-cutting companies.

Yep! Modern containers require a lot of reinforcement to make them useful for force protection. Imperial containers are likely over-engineered and suitable.

Oh flippin hello. needa get me some of those containers.

I'm surprised the crates don't have melee weapons, TBH. Maybe one of the polish companies could do an add-on.

Really love these containers. If they are not too expensive ill buy a ton of them

More basing kits... Yes please!

Paint on gem effect... WHAT???
I'll need to see this to believe it.

Those crates and bases look awesome! GW must have know I ran out of bases just yesterday because I am very tempted by them. I only know of one other company that makes good scenic bases in plastic and their eBay store is all out of them at the moment.

My Necromunda table is no longer complete D: it needs these

New scenic bases and gem stone effect paint come out just as I finally start building my Eldar army!? Shut up and take my money!!!

About time they released some container scenery...certainly looks the part (look, gothic arches!). I see they got the obligatory skulls on there too. Still, makes them a little less desirable as a generic sci-fi terrain piece...then again, most of the 40K terrain doesn't really fit anywhere but in the 40k universe, so mission accomplished. The crates and barrels are a nice touch.

Anyone else thinking of bedazzling some Necrons?

I do like the containers, but every self-respecting Imperial engineer has to be wondering: do they have enough skulls?

Ahhhhhh, they're clear paints! Nah, I'll pass. Stick with Tamiya for now when i need them....

I'll take the containers though...

But there's plenty of skulls, they're just in another kit.

So which warehouse worker is going to get fired for selling multiple stolen GW products weeks in advance of its shipping date to retailers? Not only was this moron dumb enough to sell product well before anyone outside the warehouse has access to it but he was selling it well below the msrp and shipping it via eBay before the product even goes up for preorder. If GW doesn't fire someone at the warehouse for this I'll be surprised.

My money is on it behaving much the same as transparent clears from other manufacturers.

Tamiya make a clear blue, red, yellow, green and orange. I think Vallejo do some transparent colours as well. There's also Humbrol options and Gunze options. Probably others I don't know about.

Great to see Games Workshop making more terrain... even if that terrain is pretty much the most easily made and widely produced terrain on the market...

...with guns on it.
