Fantastic Fantasy Building

A well made fantasy building from the display cabinets at GamesDay 2008.

So much detail and beautifully put together.

It makes extensive use of the fantasy building kits from Games Workshop. I am really pleased with the quality and quantity of fantasy (and 40K) terrain and scenery now available from Games Workshop. It really makes it much easier to create excellent looking tables. I do though need to model and paint more scenery though.

Skyshield Landing Pad

The Skyshield Landing Pad is a very nice piece of scenery for Warhammer 40,000.

Landing pads are launch bases used by flight-capable craft to unload or evacuate troops and vital personnel. The Skyshield landing pad used by the Imperial Navy, though originally purpose-built to accommodate Valkyrie and Vendetta gunships, is robust enough to serve even the Thunderhawks of the Adeptus Astartes, and has field generators that protect the craft and its crew from incoming fire.

A plastic kit, it contains four lots of two sprues. This is the landing pad and side walls.

This is one of the four legs.

This is a very clever piece of design. Reminiscent of the first Land Raider and Rhino.

So the first stage is to stick this altogether.

Blastscape

When I saw this product for Apocalypse on the Games Workshop website, it looked really good.

So I thought I would get a pack.

Alas the original image on the website was of some resin masters, the vac formed final product was nothing like what we saw in the previews. Though GW did revise the product image to what you actually got rather than using resin masters.

It was a pity really that they didn’t make resin versions (like the Urban Barricades and Ork Barricades). Having said all that, they were a splash release and are now no longer available to buy.

They came in a plastic bag.
