After picking up a copy of Warhammer Imperium with a Ruined Factorum I did start thinking about whether to get some future issues, or picking up some past issues. In the end I bought issue 27 which came with a Haemotrope Reactor.
After constructing the Haemotrope Reactor I gave the model a white undercoat.
Having picked up the Ruined Factorum sprue that came with Warhammer 40000 Imperium 31 a couple of weeks back, I set myself a reminder for today, to purchase issue 34 for the second sprue .
The ruins are from the The Battlezone: Manufactorum – Sub-cloister and Storage Fane kit which did cost £37.50 at Games Workshop and contains two similar sprues. So at £8.99 you would be making a saving of £9.76. However you can’t buy the kit anymore anyhow.
This time, as before, you get two more corner ruins, all coming on a single sprue.
The final models, combining the ruins from issues 31 and 34 (did) look like this on the Games Workshop website.
Another view.
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.
They were quite easy to construct. The next stage was a white undercoat. I used a can of Corax White Spray.
After picking up a copy of Warhammer Imperium with a Ruined Factorum I did start thinking about whether to get some future issues, or picking up some past issues. In the end I bought issue 27 which came with a Haemotrope Reactor.
The sprue has fifteen parts. I really do like the thick plastic they use on these kinds of models, gives them real heft and weight. The model goes together quite easily.
The instructions do provide advice on which parts to leave to dry before continuing the build. I made the mistake of removing parts 11a, 11b and 11c whereas the instructions were clear to do each part individually and affix it to the model, before moving onto the next piece. So I had to guess where they went.
The reverse of the model.
The next stage will be a white undercoat.

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.

After picking up a copy of Warhammer Imperium with a Ruined Factorum I did start thinking about whether to get some future issues. I was less interested the figures, but was curious about what scenery models were in the series.
I did review previous issues and there were three issues with containers! I have a box of the Munitorum Armoured Containers so was less interested in these.
Looking over the previous issues, issue 27 had a Haemotrope Reactor.
Designed and deployed to provide additional power on the battlefield, the Haemotrope Reactor is an indispensable tool for armies wishing to unleash ever-more destructive waves of plasma upon their enemies. An imposing structure, understood fully by few, it is used to bolster the defensive capabilities of the Void Shield Generator – or amplify the already intimidating destructive capacity of the Plasma Obliterator. In a pinch, the Haemotrope Reactor can be used as cover; this can be a terrible decision however, as the cowering warrior opens himself up to the potential of horrific injuries resulting from power leaks…
I managed to pick up a back issue of this from Forbidden Planet. As well as the magazine there is the single sprue with the parts for the Haemotrope Reactor.
Looks like a simple kit to put together.
I see though from the Games Workshop site that the Warhammer 40K version of the kit is being withdrawn from sale on the 24th April.
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.
