noticed my LGS in Helsinki got stock of the LI ruins as well. Apparently its a new SKU? Seeing as they now list two SKUs for it, with the earlier one labeled as "sold out"
leopard wrote: the set I had was all black bases, however the book noted it was 8 stands for a tactical unit (four tactical & four support) then four for each of devastator and assault (later became six stand units).
the first run had different colour bases, I think it was pretty much eight in each of four colours for each army
sweet, so I'd need 4 stands of TACs, 4 stands of Support, 4 Assault, 4 Dev?
If that's correct, I should be good just by adding one more Astartes infantry kit to the pile..
I was skimming through a 1st edition rulebook last night, excited to jump back in! I'm a sucker for old rulesets with modern minis
1st is actually a decent game, takes a while to play with the detail but its good as you don't need massive forces for a good game
if you can find it "Codex: Titanicus" is worth grabbing as it brings in the orks, Eldar and IIRC Imperial Guard as well as titans
harder to get hold of are all the 1st edition army builders as they were only ever in white dwarf before 2nd came along and changed it all
I've seen Codex Titanicus around, and in fact even found my partial copy of it while rummaging through my old stuff! A shame its incomplete.. thats what you get for GW making a book with puch out holes, and you never putting it in a binder :p
And no fear regarding those old White Dwarfs.. I have access to almost all of the first 300 issues They're kind of a must-have for oldhammerists..

oh perfect, pity no one has collated and archived the Space Marine army list stuff as it seriously expanded on what was before it. nicely laid out force organisations too, which were different for the different factions which was very nice

Coming back to the Civitas ruins thing. Just received my box, it has 2 x large ruined building wall sprues and 2x ruined flooring & gubbins sprues, divided by a cardboard wall "poster".
The box has both LI & AT logos on the backside. The box was not shrinkwrapped, but closed with two round black Warhammer stickers instead. It also has a small "DESIGNED IN THE UK - MADE IN CHINA" sticker on it..
So is this a new SKU, not sure.. but these are made in China like the larger GW terrain kits. Probably because they are larger sprues than what GW typically use themselves?
Now, I'm just waiting for my 4 sets of Civitas city tiles to ship.. Have spent close to 500€ on Epic terrain and havent even assembled a single Titan yet By this rate, I'll be playing AT18 & 1st Edition Space Marine this autumn at the earliest.. For all I know, KT24 will be out by then LOL

Picking up two of those ruins set on 6, and today I ordered the big terrain box from Goblin Gaming. Plus, I’ve some random left over buildings from an abortive AT collection lurking in the Magic Box O’Stuff.
Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
I wish the Industrial silos and gubbins AT kit would be rereleased ASAP. A cityscape board feels too bland and samey without one
I am very tempted to build my cityscapes as "partially abandoned".. remember how the Killzone Fronteris set used a Imperial Sector board which had been partially submerged in sand? Something along those lines.. I dont really like how the board looks as is, it feels too clean for a killzone

same here actually, I could print such bits but a decent kit can be a lot faster to put together and all thus industrial bits can be used in multiple games

And speaking of the rules, my mind is first set on collecting a core force, and then playing with them using any edition I happen to fancy. For someone like me, the biggest appeal in LI are the models themselves.
Totally agree, mine are golden as Braganza Besiegers. These small miniatures are lovely:

I saw this posted on Discord earlier in the week, that terrain may be returning as online only. Keep an eye on the GW site this weekend.
I hope you're right and these will be coming back. If rebranded under LI however, I am certain their price will increase from what it was when they were still AT18 branded..

In the UK at least I don't think any of the reboxed knight or titan kits changed prices compared to AT so far. IIRC the manufactorum terrain set was £30 last time it was available.

I was all over it before the launch, and then saw the price ($75 US) and just couldn't justify it.
2 sprues of walls, 2 sprues of flooring and gubbins, so 4 sprues total. The sprues are of the larger variety (about twice the size of regular GW sprues)

Thanks. Will have to give it some thought. I have plenty of Civitas buildings but adding a couple ruins into the mix would be nice.
I'm guessing the preorder is just showing 1 model copy-pasted to create a flight whilst the preview image shows 2 variants of the build - one with a side item (little rocket pod?) and a top gun on the front.
If this is about the gun on top and the missiles? on the sides, the bits are on the sprue, they just didn't show them in this image for some reason.
There are four Arvus per sprue and enough of those bits for two of them.

Titans have stayed as they were, but the manufactorum set contained 2 large sprues and two medium sprues, which was pretty generous at the time but even more so now, given two medium sprues is all you get for 30 quid with the other LI releases. I think it'd be a surprise if it stayed at the same price. Particularly given the discussion we've just had about the drop pod pricing...
Though if it does stay at £30 I'll definitely be buying a few lol
