To be fair, I think the blocky neo-gothic building style for sci-fantasy was first popularised through Warhammer 40K.

Beneath the Sand

One of several new Underground Building Entrances

On the desert world of Taros, the population do not construct buildings in the usual manner. Due to the intense temperatures and inhospitable surroundings, the people of Taros have delved deep into the ground to find security and comfort.

The only part of a Taros building above ground is its entrance, built from heavy stone and metal these squat constructions stand solid against the elements. This building style is used on many Imperial worlds where the surface is not hospitable to long exposure, such as Ice worlds or to provide protection against attack.

These models are released week commencing 29th August, and are available to pre-order now.

Sensor Alert

Remote Sensor Tower

A newly encountered piece of Tau equipment is the Remote Sensor Tower.

It wasn't until late in the Taros campaign that any of the Imperium's forces encountered these strange devices. The vanguard of the Cadian 114th Regiment met these tall, thin towers as they advanced towards hydro-processing plant 23-30. Soon afterwards their columns came under attack from long-range Seeker missile strikes, losing several Chimeras in the process.

The Remote Sensor Tower is released week commencing 29th August, and are now available to pre-order.
