But to be honest I have absolutely no idea how the things I learned could be implemented in 40K so I won't even try to compare.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142379276012984189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683232946627995042.post-62464651572429114352010-09-24T04:44:29.366+01:002010-09-24T04:44:29.366+01:00Good luck with the terrain projects!
