Thank you guys! I'm glad you like them!

As I said before, I'm working on a "tyrianid Aquila Strongpoint". Even if it is for 40k, I want to use it as a huge structure in Epic, so I'll be posting the progres here and asking for advice.

The original model!

this is the base model I've done so far:

Image

And this will be the "walls" of the structure:

Here you have a longer explanation on my blog (this time with english): http://foroasaltorabioso.blogspot.com.e ... wip-1.html


And what I'm doing now; the cannon. The idea I want to do is something similar to the Aquila, but being it a Tyranid creature wit a huge cannon, here it is a sketch of what I want.

Image

And for now I've just done the base of the carapace with cork

more in the blog: http://foroasaltorabioso.blogspot.com.e ... 9527931173

What do you think about it? Any ideas?

I thought you might go down the Starcraft route, and have it be an Imperial structure that has been "Infested! =D

I think in 40K it looks good, but as I want to use it in Epic I thought that doing a Tyranid structure would be better rather than "assimilating" an human structure (in my opinion)

but I don't know how it can end up looking like! xDDD

That is a great idea very similar to the alien spacecraft from Giger stuff.

I always thought these weapons batteries might work to represent massive gun batteries, orbital defences.

Thanks for the encouragement!!

Stormwind, those would look awesome on an Epic table!!
After all, the 40K universe always has had those giant buildings on it's lore

now that you mention it, it is right!
I must search Giger stuff for inspiration...

What do you think?
I really like them, so I'll do at least 6 more and then I'll try to do the same thing with Hormagaunts!

I love the feeling of movement that you captured on those bases. They look like they are flowing forward.

They look great! Well done! Your work is inspiring.
