She still needs to be painted, and to have a couple of gaps filled in, but here's how she looks so far.

I noticed there was a gap in the missile silo, so I went back and fixed it

Wow! I had no idea that the Planetstrike Bastions could be so freely used as multikit structures! I'm definately going to have to pick some of them up and make a cool-arse fort

Yup, with a bit of clipping, and a couple of glues fingers, you can pretty much make whatever you want out of them

But I wouldn't go with a cool "arse" fort..... no one wants a piece of terrain on the table covered with hair....

Double trouble

Someone really needs to learn the definition of "scratch built" lol.

Looks good so far though.

Ok ok, so GW helped out a little :-P

custom I would say....
Look good... Nice idea...

"Kit bash"

very cool!!!!!!!!

It's driving me crazy looking at it-- mainly because the two side towers aren't the same height. Not so much indomitable as "lopsided" lol

I'd like it much better if the two side towers both had the same height (high or low works, I like the look of both pictured here, but pick one) and if the missile bays had some symmetry as they look like a cluttered mess as is. Sorry.

I actually like the lopsided look of it. It breaks up the symmetry of the model and gives it character without making it look unrealistic. I do, however, agree that the missile silo idea is not the greatest look. It honestly looks out of place and thrown together to me. I would rather see another gun emplacement up there or nothing at all. In this case I actually think that symmetry would be your friend. It all comes down to odd number of tower levels looks good with no symmetry, but the even number of silos would look better with symmetry. Visual perception can be a real B#*@$%! at times unfortunately.

Eh, there's two reasons why the fortress is "lopsided". Number one, make both of the side towers two story would reguire it to take 3 bastions instead of 2.5. With 2.5, My collection of 5 bastions can be turned into a solitary bastion, an indomitable fortress, and an L shaped bastion.... basically combining the left and right tower of the fortress. This gives me six objectives out of 5 bastions. Throw in the skyshield and that's 7 objectives.... which will make for fun big games. "But why couldn't you just make two level 1 side towers?" you say? Because then my friends.... it would have looked like a pen*s.

Oh, and the silos are symetrical.... not A symetrical, but symetrical, they actually form a square.... or are two L shapes with one inverted. The main reason for this, is that when turning 5 bastions into 6, you still only have 5 rooftops, and thus, have to make do.

The Phallus Pattern bastion is known to boost morale of all SOB units within 12".

IG simply nod/wink and high five any time they are asked about it.

Marines simply look confused as they have never seen a pen*s

My bastion will fight your bastion(check it in the P&M blog)

For someone with a name of Angron, your bastion just doesn't look angry enough.

Good job. Good thought to get an extra objective out of your boxes of bastions.

Impressive use of a good kit.

With a 3x3 base, you could do an imitation willis tower...



Very nice.
