Whoever came up with pre-painted Warhammer terrain, take a bow; you're a goddamn hero.
After going hands on with the set, I think it's going to make a lot of gamers very happy. Yes, it looks amazing… but the time it'll save you is so much more valuable, and this is one hell of a time-consuming hobby. No matter whether you're putting together a 10-man Kill Team or forging an entire Warhammer 40K army from scratch, it's a marathon. While I think most of us would love to create a battlefield with the same level of care, there are only so many hours in a day – and scenery often seems to hit the bottom of our collective to-do list as a result. Warhammer 40,000 Battlefields: Armageddon is designed to bypass all that by providing fully painted terrain out of the box, and the result is impressive.
This battlefield-in-a-box is now available to pre-order direct from Warhammer ahead of its October 31 release date, but it's worth checking indie retailers like Miniature Market in the US or Wayland Games in the UK as they often provide discounts. While you'll pay handsomely for the privilege no matter what (it was estimated at around the cost of two Combat Patrol box sets, so roughly $350/220), I think this pre-painted terrain is worth that investment considering how much easier it is than painting scenery yourself.
The idea here is simple; speedrun a full Warhammer 40K board with as little effort as possible. To that end, Warhammer 40,000 Battlefields: Armageddon pieces arrive painted on the sprue, so all you need to do is clip them out and slot them together (they don't even require glue).
