Maybe I should do more planning ahead...(Quarter 2 Project)

Email went out clarifying - there will be PS scenery to use, it was more for those who want to take their own bastions/aegis lines.

I'm hoping to be attacking anyway, esp with my list ;-)

Awesomest imo, but lacking a direct template

Then there are a bunch of paper craft castles, and bunkers- e.g. hoipefully a google of 40k papercraft "strongpoint" (a chapter approved GW one, with a 2 inch of board raised firing platform- similar to early drop pod designs ) "Firebase" (bastionesque but no instructionsV vague) "Imperial outpost" ( a full 2 forts, bunker walls and gate - a mini fortress.).. these can be textured very easily by just copying onto the blueprints wall effects etc.

I say easily..I always get a grown up (/Mr6 to make stuff for me) and everyone else just buys it.

Cheers Toby. I've actually got the various card kits of the Firebase etc if I needed to throw something together, but those might be useful for scenery projects later in the year

(TBH I'm going to pass if they're lending it out).

Got the sources for the Bolts of Change on last night. The model's bases are on the other side of the card, I cut a slit, pushed the tab through and superglued everything together.

Tower is looking good. How big is the cake board?

Baragash · by **Baragash** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 1:21 pm

Between 10" and 12" (I don't have a long enough ruler

- but that's another problem

)

Top crenelations added...

Need to put balcony on the small bits too (yay for lame LoS *shrugs*). For the death ray I was originally going to create a wood frame, but in retrospect I'll make it out of Vindi sprue.

More done (also done a bit of painting on other stuff, not worth pics though):

What's going to go on the base?

killmaimburn · by **killmaimburn** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 3:40 pm

The big fat silver tower... you and your bases matt.

mattjgilbert · by **mattjgilbert** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 4:51 pm

I'll rephrase... what's the plan for the base the tower is on? How will it look in the end?

Baragash · by **Baragash** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 5:35 pm

It's basically going to be plain. I'm putting the Tzeentch symbol from the vehicle sprue in each of the 3 big spaces, and probably a couple of the helmets on spikes from the same sprue.

Since Tzeentch is the god of change, maybe you could glue down some holographic cardstock if you can find it.
Something like this...

You could then put the Tzeentch symbols on the holographs. Probably be very striking looking on the tabletop. Keeps changing colors as you walk around it. Anyway, just a thought.
