Fabricator’s Lair Epic Sector Sanctuary 3D Prints: Epic-Scale Botanicae

Fabricator's Lair Epic Sector Sanctuary 3D Prints: Epic-Scale Botanicae

Aaaaand, we’re back. And let’s GOOOOOO! into September’s models. We have another piece by Fabricator’s Lair from the Epic Sector Sanctuary set. This one is called “Botanicae”, which translates to “Botanical” which I assume means it’s either an enclosed Botanical Garden-type building for the planet’s elites to enjoy some greenery, or perhaps a food production facility making something higher-quality then corpse-starch.

Either way, it’s a Greenhouse of some sort, so I painted it as such. How do you paint a “greenhouse” in Epic 40k’s design language? Well, I guess we paint all those windows in, and in this case, I went for green instead of blue/silvered windows, kept them metallic for the attractive shiny effect, and painted it in much the same manner otherwise than the other Fabricator’s Lair buildings. Oh, I also used AK’s paint markers for all those window frames to keep it a touch neater an an attempt to retain a small amount of my own sanity.

Scale shot with the usual suspects!

When Dave Stone put up his his most recent post about his Season of Scenery ’25., lamenting that he might not have much time to do any terrain himself, I suggested thta he follow the Mel Brooks Rule of “It’s good to be The King” and just arbitrarily extend the challenge to cover September as well. And then I arbitrarily extended my personal Scenery challenge, and I know at least a couple of  others have also done the same. So the next run of terrain posts that go up for September will also have the little Dave Stone linky at the end.

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.

And a couple of pics alongside the damaged buildings and some scale-appropriate models.

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