With the new fortifications and all, I've decided to add a Bastion into my regular list. However, GW has seen fit to only sell us the silly imperial bastion. Why would and Eldar/DE army use an Imperial bastion when ours probably look cooler and are, well.. ours.
My question is this. What sort of ideas does dakka have for making an Eldar or Dark Eldar bastion? I've seen some of the eldar themed buildings on the boxes all the kits come in but those are far too skinny. Does dakka have any ideas?
I'm just trying to make a similar sized building to an imperial bastion, but adding the eldar flow and weapons and such. Hoping to get it done for a local tourney on the 18th of Aug.
Might want to take a look at the various PVC balusters, columns and posts that are available. There are a lot of pretty standard ones which would work the part (sort of look like gigantic bright lances) as well as some which are a bit more unique.
You also have column bases and caps which would provide a good starting point for things like the sky shield and the bunkers.
With it being PVC, you can cut it easily and it is light and strong. For things like floors and platforms, you can add those in using cellular PVC sheets (using PVC cement - you can fuse them in place as well).
While they are not the cheapest option - they really are not that expensive...especially given the latest price increases.
