Hey Guys!

Was thinking of some plague infested terrain to go with my chaos guard, one idea was a "Trench of decay" filled with sand, copious amounts of mud and corpses, and converted from the Wall of martyrs imperial defence line, i really wanted to proxy it as a ADL, could this be done?

As well as several other ideas, for example could i proxy a fortification for a different race? quad linked big shoota turrets would be awesome for a quad gun Ork barricades would make sexy ADL's too!!

So, to sum up, can i make custom terrain models (or use third party ones) to proxy the fortifications in the current rules?

Er bugger, just realised i posted in tactics instead of you make da call, Anyone know how to move a thread?

A lot depends on the rules of your particular area. I will explain how things work in my local meta, as well as my personal feelings on the topic.
Your mileage may vary.
In friendly games, people around here really don't care whether use converted models, in fact many are quite good ( bad ones, of course, may be subject to ridicule.)
In tournaments, my local store even allows the use of third party models.
At the very least, as long as what you are converting was GW to begin with, and you are not clearly modeling for advantage, there should not be a problem.
Just be aware that some people feel very differently about this.
As for me, the rule of cool always applies. Your ideas definitely seem to meet that criteria.

Why thank you kind sir! It feels euphoric when my work is complimented I hope to post some pics of the WIP soon, can't wait!

Why are there 2 of these threads?

In future if you hit the alert button a MOD can and will move a thread for you

No big deal though.

Closing this one to avoid duplication.
