Because our winters are long, boring and cold, I had some time to work on objectives for my Space Marines and Tau.  Collectively, they took about three months to do, but in reality, maybe about 10-15 hours apiece -- the hardest part was just finding the time outside of work and social obligations.  

I had no Plastruct or sheet styrene, just some 25mm and 30mm square bases from Fantasy to use as a core, and lots of Fix-It (which has now replaced Green Stuff as my weapon of choice).

I have modeled both sculpts after the main bases from Dawn of War and Dawn of War: Dark Crusade.  

First, the Tau base:




The Tau base is acutally three parts -- the core base, the "generator" at the top (a.k.a 40K gun/shield drone) and the tower at the back of the base.

And next, the Space Marine base:




I know the Space Marine base is a little "stubby" compared to the DoW version, but once I realized I had shorted myself, I didn't feel like going back and fixing it.  This guy is one solid piece.

More pictures can be found here:  My Photobucket page

Feedback, both positive and negative, are greatly appreciated!

Nifty, I think that you'd have run into scale issues if you'd made the marine one correctly proportioned. It might be interesting to add more of a keep above the back part of it though to give it added mass.

Nice. Reminds me a bit of something from Command and Conquer  :smile:

I really love the Tau base. In general I think the Tau DoW buildings are really neat. Could be a bit bigger though in comparison with units on your Photobucket page.

Now I am tempted to try myself on something like that. But I have never done modelling stuff and still quite alot of painting for my tau to do.

The Marine building is nice as well, but as you said already a bit stubby. Works fine in comparison to the models.

Inspiring. I think I'm gonna try that with a Chaos base (not necessarily DoW) once I get to make an objective for my Chaos force. Enough Magic Sculp is already at hand.

I really like the space marine base, nice and simple looking but cool! I'll have to give that a pop ;)

Can that happen? What are the options?

With the Marines mobile fortress-monastery, you might need to modify the design slightly to avoid any IP conflict with Relic, but I doubt it--the shape is generic enough; all you'd have to do is give it a totally different name, like "Ammo Repository" and you're golden.  :))

Wow, I must say I would love a set of 3 DoW buildings for objectives for each of my armies (I guess marines would be base, the troop building one and the armoury)!
If I was a rich man I'd commission one of our resident model makers to do it!
Might even add some defence turrets :)

Actually isn't there some software for turning game 3d images into paper models? That could work for a few fast and simple objectives...
