Couldn't see this elsewhere on Dakkadakka, so here's some news from WD.

Price is £80, and seems to be an initial 'multipack' release, hence the price tag.

What's 'Daddy or Chips' mean?

I see nothing interesting in the models there. I'd rather have 'Nid centric terrain than the silliness shown in that WD.

Can't make much out in that photo other than the grappleweeds. Disappointed there's no brainleaves, or that other one - the spiky one.

Have a closer look the size comparison is favourable to my mind.

The broken Eldar masonry pieces are quite nice. Everything else is pretty horrible. Don't know what they were thinking.

Hopefully, the Eldritch ruins will be available separately. They should be salvageable when you cut away those tree pieces.

The Triffid ones amuse me - but a bit alarmed they're described as exclusive to the boxed set.

Up side is the wording entails the component kits will be released separately, and for less. But if the Triffids aren't coming out on their own, I may have to spend £80 and hope someone else takes the others off me hands.

*Looks at Eldar ruins* Illuminati confirmed!

Other than that... yeah most of those plants are not great...

You say Fiery Crash! I say Dynamic Entry!

*Increases Game Point Limit by 100*: Tau get two Crisis Suits and a Firewarrior. Imperial Guard get two infantry companies, artillery support, and APCs.

Do the ruins have a point cost? If these can be use as a Fortification, I'm instantly buying 1-2.

Blood Angels, Custodes, Tzeentch, Alpha Legion, Astra Militarum, Deathwatch, Thousand Sons, Imperial Knights, Tau, Genestealer Cult.

I have a problem.

Being contrary for the sake of being contrary doesn't make you unique, it makes you annoying.

Makes no sense that you would mix deathworld with eldar ruins.. Oh well, sell those expensive kits.

The new terrain has more of a daemon world aesthetic than death world, in my opinion. Of course my idea of death world terrain is heavily based on Codex Catachan and that's only representative of jungle death worlds.

In one of the leaked WD pics, it talks about the new character heading to one of the old Eldar home worlds in the Eye of Terror to retrieve some artifacts. Crone worlds are a perfect place for eldar ruins and demon/death plants to exist together.

Not to mention the effect the eldritch ruins had on these plants over the ten thousand years of exposure to being near them.

Overwhelming "meh". Small terrain, not much los-blocking or usefulness...and just not very attractive (oh, and expensive). Pass.

On one hand Death world terrain labeled as xenos is an easy way to open this new terrain to any 40k army.

However I was never really fond of gw plastic fauna terrain. Citadel woods is only decent looking imho as barren trees or individual dioramas with clump foliage and not the plastic leaves. I'm not expecting these plastic fauna to be much better. Gw should stick to fortifications. Popular plastic terrain would be.

Eldar/dark eldar/harlequin/chaos: webway/gateway for both 40k/AoS
Expansion to cities of Death terrain
Ork industrial ruins/reclaimed imperial industrial ruins/ can also be expansion to cities of Death
Necron tomb complex/pyramid

In other words cities of death is thier most popular and longest selling terrain and can easily be reclaimed with additional sprues for orks, chaos, or xenos pirate raiding parties
