This is a ruined cathedral from a participation game at GamesDay 2006.
I was not particularly impressed with the scenery, it looked too clean. I know it made for an easier game, but it just didn’t look right to me.
What do you think?

Cityfight of Death
Here is an overhead photograph of a recent game of Warhammer 40000 using bits and pieces of rules from both Cityfight and the new Cities of Death.
The Stormboyz were using their jump packs to get to the objective, a Grot Bomb Launcha. It contained reconnaissance photographs that the Orks needed to retrieve and the Imperial Guard needed to stop them.
The main mob of Ork Boyz were running up the main street as a diversion so that the Stormboyz could get the photographs.
This shows the state of play and the main moves been made by the Orks and the Imperial Guard.
Overall it was a good game, well I would say that I won.
GW’s Cities of Death Gaming Table
The Games Workshop website has a really nice article on how they made their fantastic Cities of Death gaming table.
It’s really nicely down, and would be fun to have a game on. The current UK issue of WD has a battle report which took place on the table.
Cities of Death
Here is the terrain from a recent Cities of Death game I had between Orks and Imperial Guard. Notice the use of the new GW razorwire.
Cities of Death
At the beginning of the week I popped into my local toyshop which sales GW stuff and was disappointed to find that they had sold out of their copies of the new Warhammer 40K supplement Cities of Death.
Having been forced from the centre of Bristol due to a WW2 German Bomb I tried to leave Bristol via Cribbs Causeway and popped into the GW store there which did have copies (but none of the urban basing kits).
Picked up my copy and admired their Cities of Death terrain, one table was being built, the other looked finished and was in my opinion really nicely done, well worth a look if you are in the area.
Had a nice long chat with Zak as the place was surprisingly empty for 5.30pm about various games and stuff.
Cities of Death looks excellent and there are some lovely pictures in there.
I have also had a quick look at the stratagems which look for making a very interesting game and I am looking forward to making some models for them as well.
Next question, do I buy the plastic buildings?
Cities of Death
Cities of Death available in GW stores, but not to buy…
One of my local GW stores had all the Cities of Death stuff out, but it was covered in clingfilm and the staff weren’t allowed to sell any of it.
Why?
Tell me why?
Managed to look at the Cities of Death supplement, which though has some nice pictures, does not look as nice or as good as Cityfight from my flick through.
The barricades look really nice though, the resin ones for £12.
The urban basing set was about a quarter of the size I thought it would be, imagine the box needed for a Space Marine Bike and you have the size of the urban basing set! Within it will be five very small tubs!
Building sprues look better in real life than they do on paper.
No Orks until end of June though…
