Well guys. It's been a long day of sweat, crashes and horrible, horrible render times,
but we are now happy to say that our Planet Strike modelling videos for the Bastion and Skyshield
are now available to watch on our YouTube channel.
Remember to subscribe guys, as we will be giving away these built models on a subscriber raffle.
The winner will be chosen on Friday the 3rd of July 2009. That’s only a week!

Please bear with us as the videos are still uploading for the next few hours. Enjoy.

Very nice!

Have you encountered any pieces that were warped?

Hi Old Man, no all the bits were fine no warped ones in our kit.

Nice videos. I'm impressed by the kits.

I have two questions though:

1. Looking at the base of the Bastion, if you left off two corners and one wall, could you then attach that to another bastion's base to create a double-wide base?

2. Do you have a set of Shrine of the Aquila sprues to show us?

Hi H.B.M.C. John is at a 40k tournament today (hopefully he won’t be last lol) but I will ask him that when I next see him.

It's possible, the PS book shows off two Bastions joined together, one section low and the other section using both sets of wall to create an extra tall Bastion.

Exactly.

Possible to create x1 to endless bastion-combos.
Pieces are compatible to be built as wall, double/triple or whatever variant.
Need a pic?

I have a flyer from my local GW that has a Bastion that has the tower, and then the lower part extending out from it, and the walls appear to fit flush - quite nice - I just wanted to someone to confirm that it was really simple, and did not require lots of converting.

And I've seen the Shrine of the Aquila - my local GW had one built and painted, amazing kit, easily the one I'm most excited about - but I wanted to see the sprues specifically.

Compatibility is high on this new kits.


Something for size comparision of planetstrike vs COD:

I had a great time last night looking at these videos, the way you guys do it, its all calm and relaxing and that makes a realy enjoyable experience, the content is great covering everything and including modeling options etc. top apresentation also.

I'm curious about only one thing, does anyone would be so kind to measure the landing pad (closed version)? I want to know if I have space for it on my display.

Keep it going guys.
