Lots of Medusa stuff (natch) and a little blurb on Armies of Middle Earth for the 17 of us who care.

This text editor makes me want to swallow my own tongue.

That's just twisted and evil. The building tutorials, I think, really sell
their ruined building product. Good thing I'm tied up in the Platformer
stuff at the moment, but it looks I may have to try some of the
tips out!

Agreed.

**Clang**

yeah, good building tutorial. Although they don't mention a vital planning step - working out how you're going to store and transport your builidings. With buildings as nice as these, you won't be wanting to just drop them in a cardboard box...

**ironkodiak**

I thought the time warp thing was a gag......

Good article.

There's no need... didn't you read the White Dwarf article last month? Apparently, finding storage space for GW's plastic buildings isn't a problem like it is for buildings you make yourself.

**chuckyhol**

Obviously you buy 6 of the large size GW carry cases and use those to carry them around. Duh.

I think they're expecting it all to be bought by rich American teenagers who can get their parents to buy them SUVs with storage systems or something.

Did anyone else notice that the Dheneb board used parts from a plastic sprue that is not for sale?

As seen here , here, and here. Pretty sure it is plastic and not resin since it matched exactly the color of the known plastic panels.

Shown are rectangle windows with bars or panes, large winged skull doorways, and what looks like a simpler version of the gothic arch window. Was the sprue a test that failed to excite marketing (they appear to be single sided detail wise), or a studio only product, or better, something that will come out later?

In the CoD codex, there are also a few arched panels which feature a "turbo pump" look, made from the bottom of a sentinel, which was also quite nice. also not for us mortals?

The LoME article doesn't preview anything really. You'd think they'd drop a line about one of the new units coming out in the future or something, rather then talk about stuff everyone already knew.

They were from a prototype sprue that was made before the others as a proof of concept.

Thanks Insaniak. Pity they will not be for sale, I rather fancied the winged skull arch.
