I absolutely love the ruins sprues. Add a little flooring made from embossed plasticard under them and they look fabulous. A few detail touches and floors better than the cardboard ones help too!
I think that GW-US still has some although I haven't read all the posts on this thread yet to see what others have said.
By the way, Night-Serpent, it's good to have you back.
Did you ever paint that Gargant conversion you made awhile back?
Am I confusing you with someone else?
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hey Maksim!
Yep, it's the same NS you're thinking of... Glad to be back! ?
With E:A on the horizon and a few good friends taking interest, working on my 6mm dudes is now on the front burner, so to speak. 
I just ordered about 10 of the ruined building sprues from GW... They seem to have just about everything, even though it isn't all on the web site, you just have to ask for it.
I haven't touched that Gargant, though I have almost finished a smaller one. I figured it's make more sense to experiment painting with a smaller, less expensive one first. All those tiny rivets!!

NightSerpent,
Are you still plaing just Orks?
Or other armies now too?
Shalom,

I am starting with Orks, and I'll see how it goes from there (have yet to actually play the game yet!!). ?Two of my friends are starting the game too, IG and SM respectively, so we pretty much have all the bases covered. ?
I am really an Ork player at heart (use the url in my sig and you'll see what I've been up to as far as 40K goes), but I see a lot of appeal in fielding piles of tanks and whole companies of marines!!
If I really get into Epic, I can easily see myself expaning into the other lists.

Your link to the minis gallery doesn't work. It comes up with an error message that tells me that I don't have permission to view the gallery.
Shalom,

Henry does, indeed have some wickedly cool terrain.
A couple years ago after Christmans, he got a bunch of oversized plastic Christmas ornaments. I don't know how to describe them, except that they look like Mid-eastern/Russian onion domes when you turn them upside down.
Since then, off and on, he has been building a series of Arabic-style minarets in 40K scale, using the christmas ornaments as the roof turrets.
The basic design is done with foam core and dowels. To do a tower, he cuts 8 strips of foam core and fastens them together as an octagonal tube. The dowels fit into the gaps left by square foarm-core edges, giving a nicely finished look. Paint/drybrush off-white, and stick the ornament on the top in its original garish color.
They are more elaborate than that brief description. They have ledges and catwalk and windows and so on. They look fabulous. He has enough to do an entire city fight board drawn out, cut up, and/or half-assembled, but he's only finished 2 and 1/2 towers.
They used his stuff at the Rogue Trader tournament here a couple months ago.
He's also working on a website at the moment, so maybe I'll talk him into posting some pics when it gets up and running.
