Citadel Warhammer 40K Imperial Sector

Managed to build three ruined building from the opened box of 40K Imperial Sector picked up at the recent Bring and Buy for $20.00. The box was missing a few sprues and didn't have instructions, so I used the box art to build these the best possible with the existing parts.
As with the great detailed sculpting on Citadel models, it was a fairly easy process of dry-brushing and washes.
Tried to keep the colors as muted and toned down as possible so these can be used for historical scenarios - like Bolt Action European stuff. Of course, the large skulls on one of them are going to have to be overlooked.
I used a method on YouTube posted by Sonic Sledgehammer Studio - a foundation of black and lighter coats of brown and gray. Here are the pieces prior to dry-brushing and washes. It's a quick down and dirty method to get terrain on the table in no time.
Thanks again for stopping by and wishing you all good health and happy gaming and painting.

      I was pleasantly surprised how they came together using only the box art. Kindest regards, Dean

    Those turned out very nice. Although they seem small for your giant 40K figures 8^)

    You just need a flag or banner to hang over the skull to make it look historical.
