very awesome, very eldarish. ( If thats a word? ) But I think they might be a tad bit to small? The doors on the buildings look like they are to small for even a guardian to fit. I could be wrong what about a picture with an infantry base for comaprison. But by all means they are still wonderful looking models.

The doors are scaled to be about the same size as the doors on the imperial objectives, which means they are too small, strictly speaking. Of course, you have to understand that the infantry scale is different than the scale for buildings.

You'll notice that 5 gaurdians couldn't hope to fit inside a falcon, so this is no different. It is just a bunker, afterall.

Dude, that's some serious scratch (US idiom for lots of money).

Ok! Just making an observation. I did say they were awesome. I don't have any imperial objectives so I don't know the scale of there doors. Sorry if you felt i was being harsh. That wasn't my intention.

Yeah, that's good too.

My original idea was to make the exodite equivalent of a sod house - so most of the structure of the homestead lay underground to minimize exposure. But, I realize that most people will define them as they see fit, which is fine by me.

I've redesigned a bunch of my objectives, based on how the first round models turned out.

Here is a render of the new version of the silo, both as a single part, and split into three parts.

I'm not 100% certain that I need to make the thre-part version or if the single part version will be castable. Maybe someone here could give me some guidance...

here's a render of all the models, with a 60mm round and a 40mm square base in the background.

There is no perspective in this render, so the bases in the background make the part appear smaller than they actually are. In reality, the bunker will just barely fit on the 40mm base, and only if it is rotated just right.

From left to right:
Silo
Bunker
Gate
Comm tower
relay column
sensor array

It should be castable with a single mold. Without a pressure pot it might need to be a two-part cast, but that would be easier than 3 separate molds.

I concur, it looks castable in one piece.

New design looks interesting :) More details, less flat surfaces that are sometime a pain to paint.
