Fabricator's Lair 3D Prints: Epic-Scale Grimdark Ruined Buildings

We’re now up to what (I think) are the final models from July-August, sans the round-up post due in a day or two. We have some more pieces by Fabricator’s Lair from the Epic Sector Sanctuary set. This time a bunch of oh-so-very-current-Warhammer 40k “L-shaped ruins”.

“The Part 1” in the title is just future-proofing myself for eventually printing and painting some of the other variations of these in the future, but no plans for that right now. As you can see, I did the Mirror thing with the printer to create some extra variations on these. I got mixed up at some stage and actually did three of the one above (despite only two in that image).

These went through a couple of iterations in the painting. Originally I just wanted to paint them grey, drybrush, weather a little with charring and be done. I did that but wasn’t happy with it, so I redid them in a style that imitated the look of the larger Damaged Buildings, which I felt a lot better about once I’d done them.

These little ones will simply add a bit of LOS-blocking for the smaller models in a LI game, I reckon.

These make the final July-August models for the “official” time period of Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery ’25.

Several months ago, when I was much closer to the start of this Epic scale project, I printed and painted a large, damaged skyscraper from Fabricator’s Lair on MyMiniFactory that came from the Epic Scale Grimdark Gothic Buildings Set #1. Today, I have another two damaged “pre-designed” buildings from the same set, though the lot can be aquired from the Epic Sector Sanctuary set – which is the bundle that I purchased to get all of these.

First up we have this “+”-shaped building that’s pretty blasted up. A pretty good looking piece – just don’t point out the fact that despite the visible internal doors there’s no entry/exits on the ground floor!

In contrast, this brick of a building has rather large doorways on both sides of the ground floor. Much more sensible, if you ask me! If I were painting these for display purposes like our friend Kuribo, I may have picked out some of the rubble bricks in slightly different shades rather than the easier overall drybrushing and washing, but that’s the nature of gaming models versus display pieces! 😉

Here’s a slightly more spaced out shot of the two of these together. These are more of my July-August models (I’ve only just started finishing models for September – so I’ll finish the earlier ones first!) As per usual, these ones count as more models for Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery ’25.
