Urban Basing Kit
There are some gaming things I buy which I later think, why on earth did I buy that! Then there are gaming things I buy which I now wish I had bought at least five times rather than just the once!
One of those things is the Urban Basing Kit which was released as part of Cities of Death. The box set contains 2 pots of slate, 2 pots of resin details and 1 pot of razorwire that can be used to decorate the bases of your miniatures or cityfight buildings. It was a limited edition and though since then Games Workshop have released a Warhammer 40k Basing Kit, personally I don’t think it is as good as the original urban basing kit.
I would have bought five, but they were very difficult to get hold of, and when I did find them, the shop only had one left…
One of the urban bases I have made using the kit was given (as per my Ork bases) a base coat of Codex Grey.
See the full workbench feature on how I am using the Urban Basing Kit.

Ork Desert Fuel Depot
One of the things I liked about Cities of Death was the large Ork “town” which was there alongside the ruined Imperial Cities. I know I will never have the time, space or resources to make something similar, but I did like the concept and thought it would be nice to have some buildings for my Ork Airfield, well at least something that could be used alongside my Ork Bommer.
So I took an old DVD-R spindle tub I had, these are available in various sizes depending on how many disks there are, I used a 50 disk tub.
Once you have finished with the disks, you do have the basis for a good building. They come in various sizes as well, 25, 50, 100, therefore you can have different heights as well.
The first thing I did was stick a tube out the side (well my son did), the tube is from a roll of foil.
I then added a Land Raider door as a hatch in the floor and Rhino roof doors as entrance doors.
The next stage was to add some wood planking and some metal panels (made from plasticard).
Then using a hot glue gun I stuck these to the side of the DVD tub. A hot glue gun is perfect for this kind of thing, as both plastic and super glues are unsuitable for this kind of model.
It’s based on my Ork Fort.

Warhammer Fantasy Game
A couple of photographs of a Warhammer Fantasy Game from GamesDay 2003.
Imperial Guard Basilisk
An Epic Imperial Guard Basilisk moves through the ruins of an Imperial City.
The model is from the Epic 40000 era and is very well detailed.
From Simon’s collection. More photographs of Epic Imperial Guard.
Warhammer Gate House
I am always impressed with the scenery that comes out from the Games Workshop Design Studio from the hands of such talented craftsman like Dave Andrews.
When such models are on display at GamesDay I do like to capture them with my camera and use the pictures for inspiration.
One such excellent model was this Warhammer Gate House which combined the Mighty Fortress and the Watchtower.
On display at GamesDay 2007.

Necrons
At GamesDay 2006 there were a fair few demonstration games, this jungle Necrons game caught my eye with it’s really nice scenery.

Deploy the artillery

The models are from the Epic 40000 era and are very well detailed.

I have used the kit with various models, but for a workbench feature on my website I have been photographing a 60mm and a 40mm base. Having added some resin and slate, I added modelling sand to change and vary the texture of the base.
The 60mm base I am intending to use with an Ork Killa Kan.
