Lots of levels, i like it.

**Alaricuk**

That is a stunning piece of terrain building, how many bastion kits in there????? I'd love to know

**Meph**

Damn, what a cool build. That's massive set of towers. I'm a fan!

**Phutarf**

Thanks for the feedback, apologies for the delay in updates but, you know, life etc...

Essentially there's 9 - at least, that's how many I bought! Along with loads of manufactorum kit bits (at least 4 full sets but a load Spares nabbed off e-bay).

Anyhow, now primary construction is over (a few small bits of detailing still to finish) I've started the labourious painting phase...

**angelofvengeance**

That is some fine modelling there, Phutarf. Looks amazing!

**Alaricuk**

9!!!!!!!!! Blimey you must have deep pockets or a severe plastic crack habbit ( like myself )!!! Loving the shade and colour tone on this already, going to be a stunning peice when finished

**Phutarf**

Some progress on spur building no.1... The walls are easy, if tedious, it's the detailing that takes a looooooooong time to re-undercoat :-/

Also having to re-familiarise myself with painting green floor tiles on this scale, as it requires a slightly different technique to the COD floor tiles (see my Cathedral blog for more details)

(NB - walls will need a lot of 'dirtying up'/weathering before they're finally finished, but I'll do that once everything's glued together!)

**JeffyP**

Very cool conversion work on that tower.

**shasolenzabi**

floor tiles, metal grates, the details coming together looks good!

**Phutarf**

Me again - just a couple of quick update pics - painting IS happening, just (as usual) at glacial place...

**Stormwall**

Nice! That will be beautiful once it's fully done up.

**Phutarf**

lol thanks Stormwall - you of course assume it doesn't go the way of most of my projects I.e. half finished and neglected for years!

**Phutarf**

A marble inlaid landing pad? Why not....

**GiraffeX**

That marble looks very nice

**JoeRugby**

Lovely stuff as always phutarf

**Phutarf**

A few more progress pics. Slowly but surely - well, surely slow anyway!

Marbles done:

One down, 39 more to go:

Oh.. look how much still to go!

**master of asgard**

I showed this to the wife and her first reacion was rather unimpressed. Then when I said, "it's a great marble effect isn't it?" she was like, "oh that's painted!? Wow I thought it was something on a marble floor."

So yeah you're doing something right!

**Stormwall**

Nicely done Phutarf.

**angelofvengeance**

This will look epic when it's done. Keep it goin buddy

.

**JoeRugby**

Beautiful marble dude

**Alaricuk**

This is really starting to look awesome

**Phutarf**

Where does the time go... Quick update pic, things are still happening, honest!

**Stormwall**

Fantastic update, slow updates are better than no updates.

No guilt, only paint dreams now.

**General Kroll**

Wow! What a project, I absolutely adore this, it's making me want to take out a loan and buy all the bastions and manufactorums and basilica imperialis I can get my grubby little hands on. I can only imagine how much fun it would be playing Kill Team games on boards like these.

Your pain job so far is just sublime too. It would have been easy to go down the grimey route but the landing pad just looks so sumptuous and palatial so far.

I can't wait to see what becomes of the rest of the board.

**STG**

Wow! attention to detail level is phenomenal! also really like the white/off white colour, looks really striking paired with that green.
How do you achieve that really nice green blending? do you use a wet palette? looks great.

**evildrcheese**

Impressive. Most impressive!

EDC

**angelofvengeance**

Beautiful job so far, Phutarf

.

**stonned_astartes**

Like the paint, sweet.

**Phutarf**

Wow, no updates since mid Feb... really must do more. Things are progressing slowly, honest - thought I'd share my 600th (really!) dakkadakka pic though - just s little something I've started work on for the board...

**master of asgard**

Looking sweet as always!
