A series of interconnected pipes used to channel hot plasma from its generators to the equipment that uses it Thermic Plasma Conduits can, in a pinch, be used as cover – this brings with it a selection of dangers, as the scorching plasma can cause drastic injuries to anyone should the pipes be breached.

This kit includes the following components, fully compatible with all Sector Mechanicus kits:

– 12 pipes;
– 4 control points;
– 8 plasma fusion batteries that can be fitted into the control points – these slide in and out without glue, offering a great narrative opportunity;
– 32 braces for the pipes;
– 4 short, broken pipe sections;
– 8 short, curved pipe sections;
– 4 short end pipes.

Rules are included for use in games of Warhammer 40,000.

Thermic Plasma Regulators: $25

Used to control the flow of scorching plasma from generator to final destination, these Plasma Regulators can be used as cover by the brave (or foolish) – they have a tendency to leak their meltingly-hot cargo when hit by stray gunfire.

This kit contains 2 Thermic Plasma Regulators – each is a detailed plastic scenery piece, which is compatible with the Sector Mechanicus scenery range. The main body of the Regulators feature a small platform and guard rail, from which your miniatures can fight.

Rules are included for use in games of Warhammer 40,000.

What do you think about the terrain sets or fall’s new battlefield in a box? Are you planning on playing any games of Necromunda with these?
