Although the price point seems a little high, these bases are incredibly detailed and cast out of very high quality plastic, well the plastic we’ve all come to know and love at least. They are pretty much on point with the detail and quality of the miniatures you will be putting on them.

The bases are actually a multi part kit by themselves and may require a little assembly but the amount of detail makes it worth it.

The Age of Sigmar bases are just as detailed as the 40k bases and LOADED with skulls and let’s just be honest; who doesn’t like skulls!

There is so much cool terrain out there, once you get done with your army and you’re thinking “I don’t want to start another army”. Why not build and paint some terrain and make your table look great!

The Haemotrope is very well detailed and screams 40k. You can see a lot of little wires in the round generator pieces and many other details in the pipes. Since this piece of terrain isn’t extremely large, it could be placed on a large base if you choose to do so.

Rules for this piece of terrain come in the box and after taking a quick glance at them, the first thing we see is that it has a wounds instead of an armor characteristic. This seems to be becoming a trend in the new terrain for Warhammer 40k. The Plasma Field is a great special rule that allows a non-vehicle model within two inches of the reactor to gain the Blast special rule for their plasma weapons and if it already has the Blast rule, it gains the Large Blast special rule instead.

 

Remember per the rules on page 177 of the BRB Plasma weapons are specified.

Head over to Games Workshop for more information and to grab these awesome looking Hero Bases for both 40k and Age of Sigmar, and to add the Haemotrope Reactor to your Warhammer 40k terrain table today!
