Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Battlezone Fronteris: STC Hab-Bunker & Stockades

From a game value standpoint, GW's most Pragmatic terrain set in a long while. Kinda lackluster in appearance, but it's just the right size to conceal your short infantry, while giving cover for your tall things. It's very stable, so you can set your expensive model kits on it without fearing they fall.Durable plastic kit with very few parts. Durable enough where you can "rip it" apart from the sprue, rather than using the clippers (clippers is still better). This kit can be assembled and used without glue in a limited capacity (might need to weight the corners of the roof and the fence can't mount to the building very well).As for build options, it's pretty simple. The doors are stuck in position. The walls "slot" together so that rectangle is about the only shape they can make. The window covers include almost enough for all the windows that can be covered, but not all the window holes can be covered (the window by the pipe on either long side doesn't fit the window covers). The roof has a flat top option and a broken flat top option (ruined flat top). There is enough roof "sign" for one of the short edges. The fence has mount points so it can be attached to the building, but those are optional and it can instead be freestanding. The fence door is built into the fence.As for 10e game mechanics, this building is a *Hill* if the roof is intact, or a *Ruin* if the roof is built to be "damaged" enough where the interior accessible. The fence would be a *Barricade.*Regarding compatibility, I know for sure that this piece stacks on the Battlezone Fronteris Landing Pad. Does not stack on itself.Quite happy, plan to buy more.

At $29 this is a great kit.

Legit and way under msrp.

Based on the cost of the model I was disappointed on how small my set is. The Battlefield expansion set I bought at the local game store was much more bigger and at a better cost. Other than that I am going to use this set for my gaming needs.

This is a good set of easy to build, practical and useful terrain for a variety of sci fi games.You get a bunker (about 8"x6") and 4 sets of walls (each around 6"). The walls can be combined with the bunker or assembled in a line. Extra parts allow for them to meet at right angles. The walls also have open firing ports and spikes on the top for extra deterrence.Perhaps best of all everything is nicely generic, there's few skulls or eagles common to Warhammer 40k terrain. The walls are thick and have a nice weight to them. Also everything is intact! There's an optional ruined roof for the bunker but the walls are all solid and there's a complete roof for the bunker. If you want ruins it should not be too hard to make them with a saw and clippers (be warned, this plastic is thick, it may take some work).There are some minor issues. The walls are a bit low for my taste and modeled with the shutters open, there is no way to model them closed. Honestly if they must be open, I'd have preferred just firing slits to open windows. The bunker also has some large windows, while the set does include some shutters to seal them, there are not enough shutters for the windows! This again is annoying, firing slits would have been much better since natural light and wide open windows are a bad idea for bunkers. There's also an odd half wall that goes on the roof of the bunker, I assume for models on the roof to take cover behind, but it only covers one wall. A better design might be to have the roof sunk a little lower so the existing walls provide 360 degree cover. The bunker also can only be built one way, unlike the now out of production Bastion kit, there's no way to combine it with other bunkers or buildings. It can be done with saws and files and glue, but a bit more thought could have made for modular bunkers.And finally there is the prices, SRP $80. I would frankly say this is worth $40-$60, but at this late hour what can be said about GW prices that hasn't been said a thousand times before.
