No Fortress of Redemption, unfortunately.

What's in the linked video?

There is no video, it’s just a post showing what’s coming to MTO soon.

Just 1 of them image posts, Brother, posting here because people are at work on their phones, etc.:

Here's a tweet from warhammer official.

The wall of matryrs defense line, emplacements and bunker are coming to made to order soon as well as the imperial bastion again. I'm guessing the bastion was popular last time. 

[Evil Eye]

Nice to see the Imperial Bastion make a comeback. Not a fan of the WoM solely because of the mounds of corpses they used as base filler; the actual design of the fortifications are nice but they really could have just used sandbags.

I've got a set of the wall of Martyrs and it's suitably large. Might grab the defense platform and a bunker just to build into a terrain board some day; probably for Trench Crusade more than 40k at this point.

Shame they don’t have the matching weapon points like the plasma turret.

They hinted the plasma obliterator might be coming in a response to someone asking about it.

I felt the same way, even back in the day. That's why I covered most of the skulls with texture mix/paint and it helps the look a lot. Kind of defeats the point of paying for the skulls in the first place though...

That looks much better! Shame I didn't think of this when they were regular retail and not an inflated-price MTO...

[DemonGSides]

Not much of a Wall of Martyrs if there aren't any Martyrs built right into the wall!

 

I bet if they remade them now they'd be in multiple pieces and you could decide if you wanted the corpses or plain.

[ThaneOfTas]

I really like that these are getting another MTO run, it makes me hopeful that they might keep the terrain in a cycling MTO rotation, I've got a few more of the Sector Imperialis Kits that I wanted but couldn't justify at the time.

 

Anyway, I might grab a second Wall of Martyrs kit and a second Bastion when this goes up.

I wish they had sold the whole set. The Firestorm Redoubt was good, but I missed out on the Vengeance batteries and the big macro cannon emplacement.

[Corswain]

Weird way to announce this.

 

I couldn't afford them last time and I am not sure I will be able to this time. Depends on when "soon" is I guess.

Remember when terrain was fun? When it wasn’t L-shaped ruins with strange LOS and if-I-stand-exactly-here-you-can’t-assault-me interactions? I understand why they removed the terrain rules but wow were these fun on a board and more interesting to look at. 
 

The comments section hints at the return of the plasma obliterator too. Time to build another gaming table!

Remember when there was nothing but L-shaped ruins and anything more adventurous you had to make yourself? 

 

I get what you mean though, as much as I like the current ruined terrain I know that GW has made more varied terrain. Part of the problem seems to be that they never appear to keep terrain in stock for very long, it seems to be one of the biggest FOMO traps in all of 40k. I was lucky enough to buy the big Wall of Martyrs box and a Firestorm Redoubt when it came out, but that was almost like buying an entire boxed army all at once. It was a big project that I did finally paint up the whole lot and I'm really happy with it, but it doesn't break line of sight like a good ol' L-shaped ruin does. 

 

I missed on on those huge basilicanum ruin sets, I should have invested heavily in those, it seemed there was a lot you could do with those. Was it called sector imperialis or something?

[Evil Eye]

Yeah, 10th's complete lack of actual terrain rules and the utterly bizarre LoS rules are some of the many things that turned me off it. Still, as they aways say, crap rules are temporary, good models are forever. Though I have to be honest, between the very short print runs and high prices, GW terrain is just not worth it anymore IMO- and you can make really nice terrain for much cheaper yourself and have a blast doing it. Ah, GW's old How to Make Wargames Terrain, my beloved...

Ooh, the one piece of the Wall of Martyrs that I missed out on! Fingers crossed, it does come back eventually.

[OttoVonAwesome]

The bastion set was really cool. You could combine it with extra kits and make some really neat bunkers but the wall of martyrs... Oof. Hated that kit. The molded on corpses looked terrible. I really feel like the newer aegis defence line kit is much nicer version of essentially the same thing. Not that anyone will actually play on a board that has anything other than ruins these days.

[Evil Eye]

The Aegis defence line was great. Just a nice set of pre-fab barricades that could be left fully modular or be worked into trenches/earthworks. Not overdetailed but still nicely designed, quick to paint and aesthetically pleasing. I won't lie, the whole Planetstrike expansion was really cool; I have my old WD for the release of it somewhere.

I built this Junk House for my Rust Bots on New Mars a few weeks ago. Far cheaper than Gee-Dubbs stuff and it comes even with a large roof which enables wargaming on multiple height levels. Suitable for small 30K/40K battles or skirmish games:

The modern 40K terrain yanks you ruthlessly out of the experience just by looking at it. You don´t see this artificial nonsense in 40K video games nor read about it in novels:

 

Imagine this:

The Vengeful Spirit ignited with it´s orbital bombardment the enriched gaseous atmosphere of Isstvan III. All that was left on the surface were structures obliterated into suspicious L-shaped ruins.

 

Maloghurst: "That´s a bad omen, Sire. I guess we will take the L on Terra."

Horus Lupercal: "Looks like it. What´s for dinner, Mal?"

any idea when the other gun emplacements might be out?
