All the Battlezone terrain sets have additional rules and traits which can be applied to them in order to add interesting gameplay elements and story flairs, keeping battles exciting, unique, and above all else fun to play. Each Warhammer 40,000 battle feels like its own story unfolding right before your eyes, and with the additional information on the datasheets these stories begin to take on a shape of their own. There are various different types of datasheets available in this set, including Tactical Terrain Datasheets, Narrative Terrain Datasheets, Battlezone rules cards and some art cards as well.

The Tactical Terrain Datasheets are built into the Warhammer 40,000 system, and give each terrain piece a point cost, usually around 150 points per terrain piece, which can help to give you army the edge in battles, or break an opponent push. Narrative Terrain datasheets are just that, they add a rule to the Tactical Terrain Datasheets which help to aid in creating a more narrative and story telling approach to the standard Warhammer 40,000 gameplay experience. Each of the datasheet types adds additional complexity, which could be either a good, or bad, depending on your experience with Warhammer 40,000 and how familiar you are with the base game. Newer players may struggle to deal with the additional terrain rules on top of an already complex game like Warhammer 40,000, but of course they are optional and can be skipped entirely.

The shell-blasted ruin of the Sanctum istratus will make a great addition to any battlefield, enhancing the immersive feeling that many battles have raged in this space before — and that the battle you are participating in is only part of a larger conflict.

The Sanctum istratus building is made of several ruined wall and floor sections, which add lots of elevation to the battlefield and creates opportunities for interesting gameplay. The istratus building can also be used as additional lookout posts, or as a command post that grants progress towards victory, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination. The building itself is fairly tall and can create a great central piece to battle over, or can be used as an overwatch position.

The terrain piece, once fully assembled, comes as two constituent parts and therefore can be used as two separate pieces of ruined buildings if having one tall building does not fit the type of gameplay you are looking for, really adding to the flexibility of the terrain set. The kit also comes unpainted and unassembled, letting you design it to fit with any other terrain pieces you might already own.
