Right? It doesn't do us much good if it takes 20 kits worth of "intact" pieces to build a single intact building of that size.

Ruins facilitate model placement, though. An un-ruined building can become just a large block. An exceptionally big LOS blocker. Which is still fine but you might as well use a large hill or something.
Not that I wouldn't mind unruined components as well! I'm just pointing out why they're always ruins.

But un-ruined buildings can become ruined buildings much easier than the reverse.
That's some nice terrain. Will be buying those kits if they come out soon. I like how many of the bottom floor pieces look like they block line of sight to a much better degree than the other cities of death terrain.
I don't think that is not 40K terrain. Isn't that for that titan game I forget what it's called. I guess it can be used for 40K, but I believe the main purpose is for the other game first.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.
Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

No, that is definitely 40k terrain. It's the same kits we saw leaked in the screenshots of 40k killteam. (not exactly the same... but likely the same batch of new kits).

The Polito form is dead, insect. Are you afraid? What is it you fear? The end of your trivial existence?
When the history of my glory is written, your species shall only be a footnote to my magnificence.
Oh those are Armagers? I thought they were the smaller versions of the knights. So I thought the buildings were smaller. Wow those are big buildings then.

40k desperately NEEDS big LOS blockers. Ruins are basically open terrain for LOS which makes their impact on game near zero.
I'm not that impressed by it to be honest, it just looks too similar to what's been peddled out before.
- Church windows - check
- Overly grandiose and unnecessary statues - check
- No LoS block? - check
I know it's 40k, but it'd be refreshing to see a bit of terrain that looks a lot more practical, less skulls and statues and more of what it's supposed to bloody do.

I don't know if my old eyes are failing me but does that look like a printed mat rather than the plastic City tiles the buildings are on?
Could a Kill Team box contain a playing surface as well as the buildings? I know the question is jumping threads.
These new buildings look good, and hopefully they with plenty of extra bits and bobs to decorate other terrain pieces. Sadly, I doubt we’ll get a new bundle at the price of the old Imperial Sector.

The kill team reveal trailer has quick shots of several other "kill zones" as well as the urban one, and they all look to be using printed mats as well

Genau! (but the non-epic types don't seem to get that ... )
