Constructing the Ruined Factorum ruin

A couple of weeks back I bought the  latest issue of the part work series Warhammer 40000 Imperium. I usually see the first few issues of part works in the newsagents or at WHSmith, so was interested to see they had issue #31 in stock. I haven’t really been paying attention to this series, however I thought I would see what was “free” with his issue and I was quite intrigued to see they had a Ruined Factorum sprue. So I bought it.

The model has two pieces, a larger ruined building and a smaller ruined corner. The larger ruined building has five parts. Two walls, two floor pieces and a skull Cog Mechanicum symbol. I really do like the thick plastic they use on these kinds of models, gives them real heft and weight.

The first stage is to affix the skull Cog Mechanicum symbol to the round hole in the wall.

Then glue the two walls together, letting it dry before adding the floors.

The other side.

The walls look like metal rather than stone. This has got me thinking about how to paint the model.

The next stage will be a white undercoat.

 

Constructing the Ruined Factorum smaller corner

Last week I bought the  latest issue of the part work series Warhammer 40000 Imperium. I usually see the first few issues of part works in the newsagents or at WHSmith, so was interested to see they had issue #31 in stock. I haven’t really been paying attention to this series, however I thought I would see what was “free” with his issue and I was quite intrigued to see they had a Ruined Factorum sprue. So I bought it.

The model has two pieces, a larger ruined building and a smaller ruined corner. The smaller corner piece has two parts and they fit together easily.

The other side.

The next stage will be a white undercoat.

 

Ruined Factorum

I popped into my local newsagent to see if they had the latest issue of Wargames Illustrated in stock, which they did. I also saw they had the latest issue of the part work series Warhammer 40000 Imperium.

I usually see the first few issues of part works in the newsagents or at WHSmith, so was interested to see issue #31 in stock. I haven’t really been paying attention to this series, as partly at £8.99 a week can get expensive after a while, but also I have enough to paint, without buying more plastic. However I thought I would see what was “free” with his issue and I was quite intrigued to see they had a Ruined Factorum sprue.

So decided to pick the issue up for the plastic.

The Battlezone: Manufactorum – Sub-cloister and Storage Fane costs £37.50 at Games Workshop and contains two similar sprues. So at £8.99 you are making a saving of £9.76. The other sprue will be in issue 34.

Well the magazine, all twelve pages has a useful tutorial on painting the scenery. Along with a lot of other stuff which is probably useful if you have been collecting the whole part works, which I’m not, so not too useful.

The first stage will be to glue it together.
