A while back I ordered the made to order re-release of the battlefield objectives kit because I love small bits of scatter flavour terrain. A lot of it feels more like it’d work in Necromunda, especially hive secundus with the tyranid and lab bits, but that’s just a bonus. I loved the reaction to that kit as the warhammer world discovered multicoloured plastics for the first time with clear pieces on the same sprue as the normal grey plastic. Bandai and co have been doing this forever, and I do wonder if that was part of a tie up with a Japanese company in some way. There’s little things of Japanese style in many kits these days, the most noticable being the way that some kits have much smaller connection points to the sprues so they don’t rely on clippers being needed as much. You see this a lot on single character models and especially the blind boxes they design for the Japan markets. I’m curious about why they end up on other models though, I’m sure there’s a story there.
