Been basing & modelling my CoD buildings on foamboard, as well as tweaking my two bastions. A few rough edges but all comments appreciated

I think the IG should have use the materials from the posters for constructing the buildings ^^

WOW
Great colour scheme, where did you get the poster's from? I had a PDF of them but it got deleted, couldnt find them again!!

Good job i love the feel of it. Looks like some awesome places to battle through.
Posters are a great touch.

I love them. The only thing I would say is that the posters need a bit of dirtying up. They are a bit bright ofr posters that have been in a building that's been destroyed! Maybe tear them slightly and wash with devlan mud? Other than that minor point, great work!

Great work. I love the propaganda posters! Well done.

I like the posters too, where did you get them?

Just do a Google image search for "Imperial Propaganda" or "40k propaganda" on t'internet (maybe also look in or around the Warseer forums, hint, hint...)


I transferred the images to a Word doc then resized the images to suit. Print, cut out, apply with 50/50 PVA glue & water.


I weathered mine first by soaking them in strong coffee & leaving them to dry 1st to 'age' them.

As its been said, the posters are awesome. I'm also loving the danger stripes around the bastion doors, and the bronze/gold doors on some of the buildings. Nice contrast.

These are great. I love the weathering and small details like the posters.
The one thing that stands out to me is the craters in that one piece. Maybe if you tapered them some more, and painted brown out onto the flat ground more so it looks like the dirt got scattered around.

the posters aremad,nice job!

Criticism: One suggestion for future ruins - more rubble. A few of these look like Imperial builders erected building corners, gave up, then let the IG use them for target practice. What happened to the rest of the wall sections? Were they blown apart/knocked down or did some Orks run through and loot them? Something felt off immediately when I looked at what should have been a wall and instead of seeing toppled section, blast craters, or rubble I saw... nothing. Also, those two blast craters you did include don't really fit in, at least to my eye. The tall, thin walls look unnatural and the brown is really jarring in the sea of gray. Oh, and the bases are warped. Foamcore can be a bitch like that. As can cardboard. As can pretty much anything. I'm amazed at what a thin coat of Elmer's can do to what I thought was stiff backing. I've found a coat on the opposite (bottom) side can sometimes even things out a bit by providing a (hopefully even) counter-force to the bend.

(Hopefully constructive) Criticism aside, I must say I like them, generally. The posters are, as mentioned, a nice touch, if a little too clean at the moment. The painting on the bastion, especially, is great. The debris, containers, etc. you've included look natural. You still see them, but they blend well enough to avoid looking like tacked-on afterthoughts.
