Evening all,
Just a quick question, I have made myself a 1500pt Squat army, using the Space Wolf codex and I wanted too add some drop-pods and I was wondering if there was any cheap drop-pods for either space marines or even for dwarfs?

Thanks in advance

I have seen some being built with pieces of PVC pipe. if you google "drop pod scratch build" quite a bit comes up.

I think Ramshackle Games Boring Machines would work well, plus are quite cheap: http://shop.ramshacklegames.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=211

Plus the "Inverted" drop pod (Up rather than down) would be a nice touch!

What about the Hades Breaching Drill off forgeworld? Could be a Subterranean APC?

and then there's paperhammer 40k. Print out drop pods. There's a link here somewhere, or you could google it. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

Well, if you want "cheap", you can't get much cheaper than reusing some AquaPod water bottles ... plus you stay hydrated !!

Cool thanks guys, I'll probally going use the boring machine as it looks really nice and it fits with the dwarfs. Thanks again

Google "French drop pod templ*tes" ...

A (probably now former) employee of GW France put some templates up a few years ago to make a cheap pod. With some work and bits, you can make them look almost like a FW dread 3 door pod.

Or go with the miniature scenery ones. See if you can get the three-pack.
