Darrell Gets Out The Skull-Bedecked Basilica Administratum

Beasts of War goes to ruins as Darrell takes a look at the Basilica Administratum terrain from the Cities of Death range for Warhammer 40K. I believe it may have a couple of skulls on it.

‘s a nice build Darrel, I got the city and sector box bets when they came out but I wen’t for taller buildings rather than that long frontage but I really like the look of it I reckon I’ll give that kinda dimension to the next building I make!
I’m not really a big fan of the GW terrain, but the cityscape 40k stuff is great if you need it done quick, the only real downside is they’re pretty light weight, so as Darrel says you need to pin them to a masonite or particle board etc base to stop ’em getting knocked over or just falling when someone decides they really want their old second ed all metal assault marines or their Bloodthirstier to be on top.

good review
Thanks BoW!

Terrain hint….I work at an OfficeMax in the states and when we open new printer boxes they have molded styrofoam inside. Some look like imperial guard bunkers and others like Tau garages. Painting them with H20 paint as a primer and then any ol’ color you want makes a easy and impressive terrain building that has a new feel rather than a ruin.
I agree with legionincorruptible. If you can find something else to do the job its great. But I have to admit that I do like the GW stuff
