About this deal

The Sector Mechanicus terrain first debuted in 2017 in the Shadow War: Armageddon boxed game, which came with a staggeringly generous assortment of terrain for playing with the two kill teams included in the box, Space Marine Scouts and Ork Boyz. The Sector Mechanicus terrain is fantastic for Necromunda and Kill Team, where its raised walkways and towering metal struts make for great cover and vertical battlefields. It’s also frequently used for games of Warhammer 40,000, where it’s a bit less useful thanks to not quite working with the game’s all-or-nothing visibility rules for terrain, but with the right setups can be a great addition to the battlefields of the 41st millennium. Doing the rusty recess shade will definitely add time to the process, but you could probably skip it if you find a primer spray that’s a perfect rusty colour. I found the Laser Cut Brown a little too reddish to be left unadulterated. Phase Two: a Pop of Colour, and a Dash of Actual Finger Painting

Inside, there are 26 miniatures, including two Characters (a Canoness and a Repentia Superior), two Vehicles (a Rhino and a Penitent Engine), and four squads (Arco-flagellants, Sisters Repentia, Battle Sisters, and Seraphim). This box is an impressive place to start any army or boost an existing force. Broadly speaking, there’s three phases to this: grungy metal, then a pop of bright colour on the flat panels, then some minimal detailing. Phase One: Basic Grungy Metal The Battlezone: Mechanicus – Ferratonic Furnace is an ancient and volatile silo. It gives your snipers an excellent vantage point for extra Armour Penetration, and it can cause mortal wounds to your foes when its blast doors are triggered. We use DHL for our main courier. The delivery guide for this is next working day to 2 working days. The longer period is for areas such as the Highlands and Islands of the UK.I applied Reaper’s Brown Liner to the gaps between the panels to add some contrast. Next, to add the streaks, I applied sporadic dots of Brown Liner at the lower edges of the horizontal panels and immediately smudged them downward using my finger. Would enamels and cotton buds and white spirit look better? Yes. Was my method insanely fast? Also yes. A word of warning: as soon as you put a dot on the surface, you need to wipe with your finger immediately. I can’t emphasise that enough. Doing two or three dots right next to each other then smudging them is fine, but don’t apply dots to the whole section and then try and smudge them; you’ll get horrible tidal stains.

Credit: Charlie Brassley Ray: I’ve always considered Imperial statuary to be more oppressive than inspirational, reminding the citizenry of their duty, and that they’re being watched. However, this statue of Celestine is genuinely intended to be a symbol of hope. This is why the torch she carries is more prominent than the sword – she represents a light in the darkness.

When designing statues, simply using upscaled miniatures doesn’t really work. Statues depict idealised versions of the characters they represent rather than realistic ones. Celestine, therefore, has feathered angelic wings in place of the stylised ones attached to her armour. Similarly, she is robed and bare-armed, with only her upper torso reflecting the iconic sculpted armour worn by the Adepta Sororitas.Fowler: Oddly enough, Shadow War: Armageddon is what got me to really take the plunge on the hobby. Assembly note for people who want to maximize modularity (for Necro and Kill Team especially) – I highly recommend making some clipped walkways. Sector Mechanicus. Credit: Fowler
