THE SHORT VERSION

The terrain workshop shows how several factions interpret the same basic bastion role. Recycled household objects, plastic vehicle parts and new scenery kits produce very different installations. Painting notes cover the Chaos, Eldar, Ork and shrine examples. Two defensive layouts then connect the modelling projects to Planetstrike tactics.

Space Marine Land Speeder Storm

A modified skimmer carries Scouts into dangerous positions. Its stretched chassis gains an extra thruster and a launcher intended to disrupt enemies before the passengers attack. Six crew and passenger figures make the vehicle unusually animated. Weapon choices and equipment allow the collector to adapt it to a particular force.
