As I noted last week, The Arrugginiti have had the run of the HvsH spot unopposed so I felt the need for a comeback. My objective is still at a very early stage of construction, but I thought I'd post anyway.
I'm not going to comment any further right now, other than to say it's called "Fractus's Revenge".
Yes, it is becoming more of a diorama than an objective – I guess I felt the need for a dramatic response after everything those chaos boys have been throwing at the 5th company these last few weeks, heheh.
