I am googling pictures but i cant figure it out. I cant do complex gothic looking structures because im not that advanced, but i maybe could do a gothic looking one that is not too complex for a amateur im not sure... or maybe a basic steel framed one? Eitehr way it has to fit some what with a chaos world.


EDIT - Never mind i have a idea now.

In one of the Word Bearers novels they build a tower which they call, IIRC, a gehemet, which has ground-up Cultists in the mortar.

It's in Dark Apostle, again IIRC.

Already started a design.


Appreciate the help any way, if you have a picture of it though i could get some ideas from it.

Thanks mate

The Warcry Terrain has most of what you're after I think.

The gehemahnet might be a bit ambitious.. It reached 50 miles into the atmosphere above tanakreg at its completion. But if you wanted to follow the design, it was just a hollow tube with the bell set on top in a frame.

The new warcry terrain has a bell that would be good for this, or the old skaven bell. For a realistic looking tower I'd probably build it properly using bricks made with Styrofoam or something.

Plasticard with windows. Use the Skaven kit Screaming Bell

God damn, i have to whine. Cutting multiple pieces of the same shapes and making them 100% accurately measured on all sides is hard as feth to do. I don't have some thing that i can cut all pieces at the same time, so i have to do each piece individually.



Thanks guys, i have an idea now, appreciate the help.

I'm trying to do the sides of the tower like this. But not the roof the same, and it wont be see see through, probably concrete. Then some chaos symbols and stuff like that. And a big nice door, then i gotta think how to design the roof so you can easily see the bell inside of it. So ill re design the whole roof part. But any way this is my first time doing any thing close to this so this might fail and i may just throw the thing away if im not happy with it.

EDIT - I literally like 3 hours trying o draw the perfect hexagon with 100% accurately measured sides... that's how noob i am at this. And wasted a whole bunch of cardboard failing. And then i had to learn on YouTube how to actually draw one since i don't have any physical shapes i can draw around.

The skaven bell is indeed your best bet. Also easily convertable torwards nurgle.

Also depending on how sturdy you want it, i would recomnd other material, like wood, metal pilons for the corners.

You have the tools for soldering?

Additionally, making the tower actually usefull might include to let 2 sides open as a whole, that way you can use it as terrain piece that could be entered.

I'm using the bell that GUO carry's for the bell. Also yes i am adding a big door, but not two doors. and no i don't have soldiering, im using super glue. Im may not add metal pylons, i think instead ill fil the gap another way since i don't want gaps in it like it does in this picture.

Any way i may fail as i say so who knows how it will go.

The tower is still useful if it can't be entered, useful as a nice terrain piece to look at, and useful as a way to block line of sight. Just thought i should add that lol.

Ill show a picture when glue dries....


edit - never mind im starting again for the 3rd time.

I cant figure out how its physically possible to even do that roof. If i make the width smaller as it goes higher to the peak then i cant figure out how each side of the roof will line up next to each other, if it was just a straight line then it would be fine, but i don't get how that picture is able to do a triangle sort of shape and still have it meet perfectly in the middle part. It looks like maybe some sides are wider then others to make up for that i guess now i think of it, but i cant tell for sure.

you could go for a "flat" roof instead.
Alternatively you build it out of multiple parts, HOWEVER, that might get annoying.

I'd go for a "flat" construction.

Edit: by flat i mean not the expansion and slimming but a straight line from Tip to wall.
Basically like a triangle.

in essence i suggest you make 8 triangles of the same size , addtionally if you and in a pillar in the midpoint you get a easy help to fix them in. Bonus point for putting an chaos star on that.

Yeah, thanks for the ideas, appreciate it.


I figured out the triangle part a swell, for some reason i just completely forgot basic principles.

Yeah ill see how this goes, might just do it flat like you said.


Thanks man.
