Title: Blackstone Fortress
Post by: Spellscape on November 07, 2012, 11:16:27 AM: Hi all

Just got mine Blackstone Fortress

is it assembled only in one way or there is Imperial / activated form?

Unactivated has the arms laid over each other, giving a + look from above. The guns are aligned inside the arms.

Activated has the arms at angles, forming an 8-pointed star from above. The guns are usually aligned with the lower arms, so they are easily visible.

Where I can find rules for both forms?

It lists the activated blackstone fortress as 750 points- but it is a beast.

Post by: Spellscape on November 12, 2012, 12:22:02 AM: Thank you found one on p127 and on 145.

Now I'm wondring how I missed it.
