When designing statues, simply using upscaled miniatures doesn’t really work. Statues depict idealised versions of the characters they represent rather than realistic ones. Celestine, therefore, has feathered angelic wings in place of the stylised ones attached to her armour. Similarly, she is robed and bare-armed, with only her upper torso reflecting the iconic sculpted armour worn by the Adepta Sororitas. Whether you're a veteran of the franchise or a newcomer, these Battlezone sets offer hours of fun and excitement. Each set comes with everything you need to start building your own battlefield, with the sets coming unpainted you can make them your own with your own color combinations and unique style.

This set gives you a terrain piece straight out of a Grim-Dark factory, one of the furnaces used to forge and create the weapons that arm the Imperium's immense army. This terrain piece comes unpainted, and unassembled, letting you go wild with the paints and make it your own style, adding more detail wherever you feel necessary. However, this piece is already highly detailed, with many small intricate parts that make the terrain even more immersive. These three new Sector Mechanics Terrain sets from Games Workshop are a must have for your Imperial Hive battles. Come take a look!Drybrush a dark metallic over the whole thing. I used Army Painter gunmetal, but I’m sure Citadel Leadbelcher would be fine too. If I was the owner of a game store I would buy these kits in bulk and organize a terrain builder day for my store. I’d invite the community in to help me join in the fun (and get some volunteer labor out of it). The upfront cost might seem a waste at first but I promise if you get your community invested in the place they play at it will pay dividends. People will invite their friends and people will point out the terrain that they helped build – I’ve seen it happen! You (the store owner) will end up with some awesome terrain and the players will want to take better care of “your” stuff because they helped build it. Plus you’ll all have a great looking play space once the terrain builder is over. That sounds like a winner to me! Free actions can only be performed when another rule specifies. Each time an operative would perform a free action, the following rules apply. Necromunda fans can grab a whole load of goodies this week, as House Delaque emerges from the shadows. The Nachmund Battlezone set is essentially the complete set for the Fronteris line of terrain expansions, it lets you build a complete FOB with multiple entrances and antenna arrays. You can build your own central point of interest, or create a base for your army to defend and hold against overwhelming odds, the possibilities are endless with this amazing terrain set. This is likely one of the most immersive terrain sets on the market, and is fully compatible with the rest of the Battlezone: Fronteris line, as well as other terrain expansion sets released for Warhammer 40,000.

Now that you’ve got some troops, you’ll need a Battlezone for them to squabble over. That’s where the Battlezone: Mechanicus kits come in. The Transterranic Gantries and Battlezone: Mechanicus – Battlefield sets are up for grabs directly through the Games Workshop webstore. Broadly speaking, there’s three phases to this: grungy metal, then a pop of bright colour on the flat panels, then some minimal detailing. Phase One: Basic Grungy Metal Howdy scummers! As we prepare for the upcoming release of Necromunda: Ash Wastes, this seemed like a phenomenal time to hit up the Goonhammer contributors for their preferred methods for painting up Sector Mechanicus kits. SM seems like a solid way to “fill” up an Ash Wastes table, in a spirit similar to the terrain previewed for the next box! We just want to encourage you to paint up all the terrain you’ve been hoarding. Sector Mechanicus Terrain I applied Reaper’s Brown Liner to the gaps between the panels to add some contrast. Next, to add the streaks, I applied sporadic dots of Brown Liner at the lower edges of the horizontal panels and immediately smudged them downward using my finger. Would enamels and cotton buds and white spirit look better? Yes. Was my method insanely fast? Also yes. A word of warning: as soon as you put a dot on the surface, you need to wipe with your finger immediately. I can’t emphasise that enough. Doing two or three dots right next to each other then smudging them is fine, but don’t apply dots to the whole section and then try and smudge them; you’ll get horrible tidal stains.
