Feel free to steal, Charad! :;):

Well, having kept a lid on it for the past few days now the Launch Event is passed I can show some pics of the finished Bastion.  I'm reasonably pleased with it, I think I rushed the chevrons so they look a bit 'out' in some places; also I had to go overboard with the metal chips because the whole model got splashed with brown paint at some point between doing the base colour and starting on the details... :glare:

Anyway, without further ado, the pics:







With the defence lines:



Defence line details:



And with some Iron Hands Units, from the participation game I ran:



Now, I need to start on some more Epic Terrain Projects, including modular city stuff, an Arbites Precinct, an Imperial Governors Palace, and an Ad Mech Titan factory... :cool:

Thanks for looking :)

Constuctix platform set and possibly the Chemical plant as well.



Absolutely fantastic Firestorm! I was a bit woried that using so many larger scale components might look odd, but it has turned out great: Very mch 6mm scale indeed! :cool:
Very nice painting too I might add :;):

Thanks everyone :)  I'm definitely pleased with how it looks on the table-top, it's an impressive centre-piece for a game of Epic which is what I intended.  I hope that some of you will get the chance to see it for your own eyes if you decide to visit us! :D

Thanks Tom; I used CoD Balcony pieces with the minarettes (?) cut off.  I stuck these to two Necromunda Bulkheads cut to size.  After reinforcing the structure with Plasticard, I used Hexagon terrain parts to add detailing (I used the now deleted Robo-Gear sets for this, as about a year ago a toy shop near me started selling off the Robo-Gear range for ?1.99 each :cool: but Urban Mammoth sell these sets as part of their Urban War Range).

I added more CoD parts, then made the Towers from the Hexagon sets.  The Comms Centre on top of the first is made from ammo cases from the 40k Battlefield accessory spruesticard.  The landing pad is a DRM piece, and the flak tower was made from another 40k Battlefield accessory, with a 40k Marine tank hatch part to mount a DRM gun.

Finally, details were added using more plasticard and plastic rod, CoD Manufactorum chimneys, and various straws and tubes I had.  Finally, the guns on the balcony are E/W parts, and I've used Epic Marine Whirlwind turrets.

I think thats everything! :)

I'm waiting for that titan factory...

Well Charad, I'll get to that, today I started building the Arbites Precinct/Guild Prefect HQ.  Pics to come soon!
