Sean's talented hands have created the following superb industrial terrain. We hope tofeature some more of his work in future issues of Gang War or the Journal. Here is just aselection of terrain pieces, including 2 large double-sided Bulkheads, a set of gangwaysand interlocking towers and a forge. You can see his work in full colour on the insideand back covers. To follow there is still an entire factory, a generator, a large stamping

machine, habitation blocks and a chemical processing plant, busy man!

We think you'll agree Sean's terrain captures the gothic and grim atmosphere ofWarhammer 40, 000 very well.

REFINERY

The refinery is not your typicalbuilding- more of a sprawlingchunk of cover, with lots ofpipes and tanks to hide behind.The pipes were made from aplastiC Pants hangar (nice for Tshaped instersections). PlastiChangars are great for pipesbecause you can add bends inthem by heating them upwithout them kinking ormelting away. I used plumbing

catwalks. The other is to build acouple "mini" towers that canbe used as terminals orconnectors for catwalks, orused to bridge small gaps. Istrongly recommend using lotsof catwalks, towers, and multi­story buildings - despite thehassle, they really make a game3-dimentional and interesting!
