ok, long story short, im bored, allways had a love for thousand sons, and decided a silver tower was in order.
all im looking for is fluff, pics, or ideas on this.

current ideas:

base: warp infested base, mutating creatures / plants and so on.

bottom of the tower: jagged rocks pointing downwards, one under each tower section (middle one will be larger than the rest)

The towers: rough idea will be 5 towers, a main one and 4 smaller ones surrounding it, all linked with various bridges and large chains, large tzeentch icon on top ofthe center tower.

other crap: rough decals will be mainly egyptian style, with the rising sun emblem (quarter sun with beams) on each tower.
heavy chains hanging from each, warp portals on the sides of towers and other general warpyness
each tower will be decorated with chaos runes (taken from the good ol' hordes of chaos WHFB book)
and, maybe a converted sorceror on top of the center tower about to explode with energy.

ok, thats my rough concept, need some ideas now please

sounds great however you just need to make sure its not too big.

Why?

erm, its a flying tower!
its ment for apoc games.
im thinking around a foot or so high and a base of about 6 or so inches round.

Hello. I wouldn't make it look like a tower if I were you, in the bricks and mortar sense. I like the idea of morphed metal, slanting downwards. Like a floating scrapyard, but spiker.

thats the effect im going for mate, like dark elf towers, but 5 held together, and looking like they have just been torn out of the ground and started floating.

maybe just a single tower like this one.

Yeah, but I'm thinking nastier. That one's cool, but it looks like a Necron Monolith that was built in Soho.

Um, I'm trying to think of the best way to put it...

easy mag, im from soho
all in all, like that, but more spikes, more mutations and more general chaos junk.

I always find black metal to have the answer to my Tzeentch headaches:

I think the outside should look pretty f**ked up. Imagine solid steel ivy growing round it, all interwoven. Maybe it could trail along behing the tower too, nailing enemy stragglers.

I definitely need to get out more.

lol, im just trying to dig out my old spawn DVD, got some stuff in there that might fit
what i didnt want was a random flying silver obelisk (someone at my LGS uses 3) and no offence to him, but all he has done was made a long box shape, a prism top for it then added a pole for a flying base.
he painted it plain silver with a blue edge, and i hate to say this about another persons work, but it looks like crap.
he boasted about building and painting all 3 in 2 hours, i see why.

(ill get pics when im there next, should be saterday)

Well what do you know? I went to the Wagamamas there the other night after getting wrecked near Tottenham Court Road. I don't know what I ate, but it was delicious.

Sounds like your friend got sucked into the Apocalypse ''arms race'', and the painting duly suffered. You show him JD, you show him...

EDIT: because I quoted myself, instead of JD. Ooops.

lol, place called kens kebabs down tot rd
bloody great food, just dodgy tasting beer.

he aint my friend 1st game he started shouting at me when my 3 trygons dragged his towers down XD
"im sorry, thought it was the idea"

hence why im making a tower, just to prove my point
or i can stoop to his level and thow some boxes and card together, viola, a titan XD

Good stuff JD keep it up

sphynx, i havent done anything mate, but thanks


also, since ihate a single project, im working on a thousand sons titan too, not one currently eisting, my own creation, ill post a pic once i get one done.

ok, heres the rough titan concept, will have a inferno and gattling once done, but all in all this is just a rough idea, nothing set in stone yet, and no mocking my paint skills

Make it an imperator class titan!
Just print that out stick it to a wheelie bin and your good to go!

Looking forward to seeing the tower wip!!!

shoulders on the concept look too small :K

i only want it to be warhound size, maybe a bit bigger.

How about some kind of learing Daemon of Tzeentch, like a Lord of Change on top of the tower, oh and a bunch of Flamers and Horrors too.

Yeah I get excited when my favorite Chaos god is involved.
