Has anyone seen a good proxy or scratchbuild for silver towers of tzeench? I've been trolling the internet for some 15mm wizard towers or something similar that I could mount on a 40k disk of tzeench, but no luck so far.

I'm also considering using some eldar 28mm bits to make towers as a last resort.

Although I'm contemplating GSing some out of round bases and plastic pipes.

Just a suggestion but look on ebay at N and Z gauge train set buildings, Ideally Makes like kirby, faller etc. Or just type in z or n gauge buildings and trail through the hundreds they have! plennty of spires and nice buildings to had.

I think the N gauge world is way ahead for epic buildings as they do factorys, castles, churches, etc.

Regards epic

They are ok, but they are hard to find and can be expensive to get on ebay (especially considering that they are rather "uninspired").

It doesn't have to look like a traditional tower necessarily; anything of a roughly appropriate size that floats and looks weird, magical, mutated, or preferably all three is good. Silver Towers made of mutating flesh or flames could work well, as could having each one in the unit being of a different design (Tzeentch is the god of change and mutation after all).

Personally I'm planning to use pyramid shaped crystal prisms (the sort you can get from jewelry shops, that are see-through but reflective in rainbow colours in places) mounted on top of limited edition Tzeentch Sorceror Discs of Tzeentch with all the nice arcane runes carved into the disk (which will be painted first). I'll paint the very edge of the pyramid silver and a small section at the top black with a fiery eye of Tzeentch looking out each way (as a nod to the one that is/was on the dollar note).
