Now, I really wanted to make a Plauge Tower of Nurgle for Apocalypse games. I was thinking of converting a Bastion. Any ideas, suggestions, pics, or tips?

oops wrong thread!!

I don't know, I really need any help.

What you could do is with Green Stuff or just modeling putty of any kind would be to make it look like the building was rotting like flesh but was still a tower soo bricks are like failing and just for effect put those leftover arms, heads and guns sticking out of the areas that have been fully corrupted by Nurgle and stuff like that. Basically think of if you had a REALY bad cold and just imagine that the building had that cold.

Oh, thanks. What about the base for it, should i use a LR?

I lol'd.

Try to search some pics of the epic 40k Plague Tower for some inspiration.It seems like the Bastion might work with a LOT of alterations. Sitting atop a Baneblade chassis with a huge gun in the middle of a big pustulous face on it... could certainly work out.



Ghidorah

when I put my Curser over LR I get LAND RAIDER... do you mean that you wish to use a Land Raider for the base? If you are going to do that the go and download the "How to make a home made LAND RAIDER for dummies" (Just Jokes). But what I would try to do is to make the base look the same or similar to your boards theme so that it blends in, EG: my board is damp, jungles of the SHADOW legions home world so all my bases have the same flock and colour sand BUT If I wanted a broken Building I just make some of the flock and sand look scorched with rubble. I your case what I would do is like I said make most of the base look similar to what your theme is BUT make it look corrupted, purples, blacks and dark blues, and also dying/biodegrading look to it. Not Shore on how you are going to get it though to look like it Biodegrading but ya, try that.

Alright, but I don't know about the baneblade.

Seriously check out some of the tutorial for making homemade vehicles like take a look at my Titan, http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/382008.page

But the Idea of the Land Raider is a good one cause if you use the Tutorial of making your own stuffing your work up is not a problem. If you do go with the Land Raider then make it look rusty and kinda corrupted but it must not look like it came just out of the factory.

try "plague tower" on google, lots of pics there.

and you should use a baneblade as the base.

Had a great idea here guys! I attached a rhino to the front of the bastion, and made it float a little, and is like a plauge chariot.

Use Two rhinos. and have chains pulling it.

One of my friends was building a Plague Tower mostly from scratch. He used a Land Raider for the base and thicker sheets of plastic to build the walls going up the tower. He used two pvc pipe end caps to make vats for bubbling plague and also used pvc piping to make the mortar cannon. I can't fully recall all the bits he used but that's a good start to a plague tower that I've seen done in person.

Thats pretty awesome! Thanks for the tip!
