The core chassis of the tank itself is four pieces – top, bottom, and the two sides with the tracks sculpted in. The side doors are separate pieces as well, allowing you to glue them open if you wanted to – you could make one being repaired at the field repairs workshop! (A field repairs workshop is an actual thing you can take in a U.S. list!) Next, you either add a flat top for the MKII or the superstructure for the MKIII, and add guns as appropriate.

Good review, thanks. It's a shame about the panel lines being of unequal depth on the right versus left sides. I'll probably use darker paint or a wash to help give the shallower lines more emphasis.

I'm still waiting for the email that mine has been shipped. I need to re-read the original War of the Worlds on the meantime.

anyone know when these will be available to buy? I need them for my Praetorian IG/Brit Vic Scifi troops

Probably end of June / early July – they've said they'll basically go on sale as soon as all of the Kickstarter parcels have gone out the door.

Pretty awesome… I'm looking forward down the line to see the additional aliens they come out with too.
