The GW plastik is expansive and valuable make it worth
Build Tank Traps with it, it's easy
All you need is an old chimera sprues and some imagination

These are nice! I suppose you don't technically need the center plate either.

Gaming tables need more tank traps, they'll surely boost assault based infantry! 4++ that doesn't slow down your movement/charge or wreck your initiative? Awesome!

To be fair, I would argue that a tank trap would only provide a 5+ cover. I mean, it really is just a couple bars of metal covering minimal area, where a 4+ is more indicative of some sort of wall like sandbags or concrete from ruined buildings.

Still, absolutely love them, might throw some together for my table.

Well, you're arguing against the rule book, no matter how flimsy the tank traps look, they are magnetic and great at catching bullets (only reason I can think for why they are defined as 4++ in the brb ).

Quick, easy and simple. I like it!

Awesome, gonna knock some of these up tonight!

Thank you guys. i Realy enjoy that you like them

yes tank traps offer a 4+ cover save buy the Strongold Assault book. Imagine them thiker lol

Here is the rule word for word:

Tank Traps
These obstacles allow all but vehicules to pass unhindered.
Tank Traps are impassable terrain to non skimmer vehicules, dangerous terrain to bike, and open ground for all authe runits. A model in cover behind tank traps has a 4+ cover save.

You can buy them for 15pts each and place them within 6'' off a building or a deffence line. pay for tangle wire and it will become a dangerous terrain.
or simply throw them on the battlefield as decoration and ignore ther rules

These look awesome. Definitely going to give them a go.

Oh nice. Really nice way to use bits that otherwise would just hide in boxes.

I think GW might have had dragon’s teeth style tank traps in mind when they gave them a 4+ cover save. A row of man-sized concrete pylons, perfect for infantry to hide behind but rough for tanks to cross.

The use of the plate makes these look very nice. It’s that little added detail that takes them from “It’s a bunch of sprue” to “battlefield debris"
