In WD206 the buildings/ruins were shown. It is made of plastic ala
Necromunda's bulkhead. It is pretty groovy, I must say.

are pretty much the same. The models though are pretty awesome (there I go
again :P) the basilisks came in three slightly different models. One has
camouflage nettings across its gun shield, another has thermal covering of
its gun barrel and the last has two gun crews manning it ! Better start
saving up guys... I really hate these GW guys, just when you think you have
enough models, they come with good new models, effectively obsoleting the
old ones. I expect to cost to be much higher though.

I heard from the Troll Boyz it is 50 pounds. And to be released on Mar 24

released this month... )
