WestRider Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 https://twitter.com/RayDranfield Dranfield was the lead designer on the Sector Mechanicus line, and has a ton of great tips and trivia and ideas on his Twitter there. You have to scroll down a bit past the Webway Portal posts, but he doesn't post that much, so it's still pretty accessible, despite Twitter's terrible archive system. I need like 15 more of those kits now... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the most important feature of the new kits are the pillars. Not only are they very gothic and give the buildings a chunkier/sturdier look, they also allow completely invisible joints for both straights and corners #warhammer #scenery #killteam #40k 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
