Cool request - and excellent scans Mortis. Very interesting (I could have sworn that I had 100 ... most curious)
Good luck with your search, I was quite surprised how many of these sorts of plans go for eBay at the last minute.

I'm not sure which section they'd be under but if you have no chance with ebay Noble Knight might have something (I'm an affiliate so, I feel obliged to recommend them) ;)

And thank you for your maps. But can you make better scans? like 600dpi at least.
I wanted to put them also through additional Photoshop treatment for reducing scanlines and other noise and make from them some temporary tiles.

I'm hunting right now for "Rooms" and "Lairs" on ebay so its only as temporary solution.
ah I see

ok, these were scanned at 200dpi, cleaned up a little and then reduced to 100dpi to make readable maps. I could scan them again at 600dpi or higher but I'm afraid because of the printing quality of the magazine itself you're not going to get anymore detail than you would at 200dpi

However now I know what you're after them for I can point you in the direction of blog called David's RPG where you will find scans of pretty much all the old Citadel Floorplans, which should suit your needs a lot better

I also have scans of lots of the floorplans used in the adventure which I've been meaning to post a few more of on here

But I was playing it some years back. My friend was The GM. We laught a lot back then playing it.

As I remember we got into the vault and got the treasure. And we also lost it all soon.
Cool, I've never played or GM'd it myself (yet) but I've read it though a few times and it's an interesting insight into some of the weirder aspects of the Warhammer background during the early years of the games. The 90's would see a complete re-write and retconing of all the Lustria background with most of the pseudo-sci-fi elements removed altogether aside from a few hints here and there  

PS if you're planning on sticking around here on tLatD why not head on over to our Introductions Page and write a little about yourself so the rest of the rabble can welcome you

PS good to see you back on the forum again
I never left, I'm just busy, and mostly active over at Ye Olde Inn, but I still pop in for intersting stuff now and then :)

And this is something you might find interesting: clicky.

Now go and scan me the DragonQuest castle board ;-)

 Wished I lived in England... especially when it comes to GW stuff...   Could own an unpunched Dungeon Lairs for 19GBP.
 But I live in the states and with the USD conversion and shipping it's just not even manageable.   Sigh... Someday.  Really love these sets.  I have 1/2 of the original Mighty Warriors tiles but trying to find them is tough...  (ie. Not digital scans, I have those too. Wish someone would release really high resolution versions. You can only clean up so much detail at 200dpi).  
 
 Scanning a small 17% grey square (similar to photography) included with each would be nice as well. While not a perfect solution it will provide a baseline for brightness and color shift that needs adjusted for a print that approaches the originals.

You know, I started running Rogue Trader rpg for my tabletop group and I started looking for tiles to supplement the Space Hulk tiles I picked up, and here I am again!

This forum is truly a gem.

Great thread !

I have started to rebuild some of those floor plans. Still much to do, but here are some samples :
