Hi all, After looking at the Imperial trench system from Forgeworld, http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/trenches.htm I thought it would be great project to do but in epic scale. So I was wondering if anyone made their own or have pictures of the actual Forgeworld Imperial trench unassembled and layout since it would make it easier to make a template. Otherwise, I have to make it from scratch. |

I have a crud load of wine bottle corks (!) which I cut into halves and use as add-hoc trenches and fortifications. works quite well |

How does that work? I'm trying to picture it - do you cut them into quarters? |

Hey daemonknight, it's not quite the new FW trenches but it's close - Chroma's defense lines and bunkers. |

I assume you're referring to the link in your sig? Yeah duz holger, your link in your sig need to be fix. However I did manage to get my way to your showcase. Pretty awesome stuff! http://web.mac.com/duz.holger/Sted/show_case.html ALso thanks Pipboy for directing me to Chroma's defense lines One of the things I worry is if I make the trench too deep or too narrow, my Death korps will be stuck!!! |

Works very well for campaigns where you wan the fortifications to grow during the game. Its very easy to add bits and change them as you go I have made collecting the precursor materials a hobby in itself!

I've made my sieger trenches slightly differently. As you get 500mm of trench and 10 infantry per company, I've made 10 50mm foxhole/trenches modelled after the ones in the book 15 hours (Guard getting done in by high command and Orks). Depth varies but is typically enough for a square base (I hope, I didn't have a reference handy when making them here - what size are the square bases?). One because I like the more modern look, and two because it is easier to fit around terrain than strips. You need a lot of main trenches and then scenic comms trenches to get a decent looking trench system. This way you can 'scatter' the trenches in and around the bunkers and emplacements and give a good image of a dug in infantry company. I might make some big scenic trench and bunker works as a terrain piece in the future, but that would need a clear area of table to deploy. |

Thanks for the link suggestion. Do any other trench fans here think the 500mm of trenches should be re-worded to 'trenches for 10 infantry stands (or similar)' to allow peoples creative juices full flow (with useless but scenic comm's trenches, MG nests etc etc)? |
