Being a big fan of Warhammer 40K, I am always looking for new ways to add buildings etc to the game. Having stumbled across the Orbital Starter Kit 1 and being an avid paper modeller I was thrilled to see someone had produced a modular system that would allow me to customise the layout to suit my own design aesthetics.
The graphics are sharp and not too colourful - just the right amount of dullness to suit the 40K universe. Being a modular layout I can build various shaped bases or outposts with single or double, or if you are adventurous enough, three or more levels. Walls and floors come in three different lengths allowing some flexibility in the size and shape of floor layouts. In fact there are more than enough different wall and floor combinations that you will be able to build quite a few different variations to suit different scenarios. The design is such that you could depict the interior of a space ship or orbital fortress but I think it works better as a ground based setting.
All in all a great set and highly recommended. A cheap and quick way to add buildings to your next epic Warhammer 40K battle. Now all I need is for the publisher to bring out more civilian type buildings and I’ll be a very happy camper.
