Large, LoS blocking stuff you can deploy atop of has an appeal.

Unless you are a shooty army and choose to be a shooty army because of lack of terrain.

I noticed awhile back that they discontinued most of the 40k city terrain, and in the orginal Knight: Renegade boxes people joked they were using them to clear old stock.

It would make alot of sense that these are to replace the original range of terrain.

Am I going to turn one of those statues into a demon prince or an "Avatar of Khaine" count-as animated statue guided into battle by the Thanos Pottercast from the get started magazine? I think I might juuust try that.

Real shame though. That stuff is (was?) great.

Still got tons of it to build.

Wow, was not expecting that. Knew that a couple of them were gone, but was not expecting the rest to go. Only old building (not fortification) left is the Shrine of the Aquilla.
Glad I picked up a Manufactorum and Basilica recently.

It’s probablt just been me being cack handed, but I always struggled to get the walls of city ruins properly straight.

I’ll still miss them though, and can only hope these new kits provide the same versatility of builds.

They look good, but I'm concerned about the price tag.....

Dunno, GW’s scenery has usually proven well priced in the past.

I just hope it’s their regular plastic, not the stuff that get used when they outsource. Never feel like that stuff quite glues properly.

And having tried to make own terrain recently I have started to realize doing it yourself isn't as cheap as one might think if you don't want it look like total crap. At least in short term. All the initial investement and then wasted pieces trying to learn the ropes...If you make tons of it it will be better but in short term I find at least with my skills price is not that much cheaper after all and looks lot less.

I'm at the point of considering dropping idea of doing terrain myself(at least more complex pieces) and just get pre-made. Price isn't as bad after all, saves time and looks better.

They just need to be playable and not riddled with open holes so much they might just as well not be on board...

That first building looks promising and guess I could barricade any windows for safety. Looking forward to these.

GW’s stuff is also most definitely up to the task of repeated rough handling.

Sure, other companies produce finer detailed stuff, and there is a market for that. But me? I appreciate the robust stuff, as i know it’ll stand up to game related punishment better.

And the Sector Mechanicus stuff is frankly the Mutt’s Nuts in terms of how modular it is. Just want more stuff the same height as the Plasma Thingies. Get some walkways passing under one another

In terms of LoS blocking, intend to favour disruption over outright blockers - at least, if we’re going terrain dense. The odd full blocker, yes. But make it a challenge to use the terrain effectively is my preference.

Nonsense. Single Sector Mechanicus buildings cost as much as the entire Imperial Sector box of CoD terrain.

The new stuff looks pretty sweet. We have more than enough of the cities of death to cover our table (#IGotMine), but it’s a shame to see those go. They were reasonably priced, unlike the new hotness. If I didn’t have a table full of ruins, I’d consider getting some of the new kits.

Agreed, but I'm pretty sure their most recent terrain kits were (unfortunately) made in China and they've been good. The cargo containers, plasma conduits & regulators and I'm fairly sure all of the Sector Mechanicus terrain were done in China.

In terms of LoS blocking, I use either a Fortress of Redemption, or a couple of Bastions that are glued together to make one big rectangular block, right in the middle of the table. I find that helps break the fire lanes up a bit.

Whilst I am reasonably excited about this, I'd rather they got onto some more xenos-themed terrain. Large box sets of such would be ace.

Blimey, just noticed that - they've all gone!

Yeah, I'm bummed. I was just saving up to buy a few more buildings, and now their gone.

there is the full WD spread

The Shrine of the Aquila isn't out, it's just out of stock. I wonder why they decided to keep that kit?

I’m going to take a closer peep at the buildings at the bottom, see if I can confirm if they’re joined to each other. Page fold here covers it up.

No they’re not.

It’s weird that they’re so prominently displayed in White Dwarf when we’ve seen no official details of the release. Maybe they forgot that they haven’t told us about them yet!

Not unprecedented.

There was some terrain shown in White Dwarf and an 8th Edition WHFB campaign supplement that wasn't released until after AoS launched.

There hasn't been a lot of detail about them and what a kit consists of but, IIRC, the blurb from Warhammer Community when the Kill Team video was first released made it clear there was new terrain inbound.

Wasn't the plastic Bastion featured in the 40K 5th Ed rulebook before the official release?

You mean the White Dwarf which isn't officially released until this Friday?

Cities of Death.. expanded XD

Typical battle report table, all that terrain and only 2 pieces aren’t lining the outside of the table...

LOL! Yeah, mostly useless terrain only designed to make the board look pretty.

Recently have been putting the tall terrain in the CENTER of the board for Necromunda games. That way people have to actually FIGHT for the higher terrain instead of just deploying on it.

Shows how ridiculous Knights are in 40K 'scale' - sure, they look good, but they're gooftastic for gaming with!

I disagree, Pegaus stuff with the hole and peg (think Lego) joints are much more able to handle rough treatment than GW stuff where you just butt peices together and hope the glue holds. Less detail but more than enough to look decent with some spraypaint and dry brushing.

I do love the GW terrain but Pegasus is first in my heart.
