I've always wondered just how big that terrain is!

Wicked I'm loving the idea of having that statue indoors.

My only concern is that the terrain is so big... won't it be hard to play games through?

Great update

Peter

Have to agree - looks ace and statue looks cool.

Peter I had considered that while I was building it. I used a lot a ruined wall sections and the building is actually very accessible. I added a few more pics of it with a ruler showing it's 7 inch width and another with a guardsman in it for scale. This building is meant to be the focal point of the city , a capital building of sorts. I am very very excited to start adding all the little details

Thanks again Peter

Keep the comments coming gang
Thanks again,

Wow, this is so impressive. Read through the whole thing and just wow! I'd love a board and scenery. One thing I noticed and this is quite a fluff thing but on the board the buildings aren't straight and imPerial 'towns' are normally straight, fluff point really, sorry. Also are you going to go ahead train yard?

No need to be sorry! When I set the board up I was like a kid on X-mas morning I just threw the buildings on. It was then that I did realize that the city was to sparse and in desperate need of more buildings So stuff your sorry in a sack! The train yard is still a project that I will be working on I need to add a few more normal buildings first. I am getting a set of storage tankers that will add a lot to the water plant. You will just have to stay tuned and see!

Thanks again for the comment and as always keep um coming,

Mike

Wow! That is gonna be...draining to paint. Looks great though, good luck!

Ok, now I'm at work and don't have a) a cat sitting on my laptop, or b) a game of Halo to play I shall make a more indepth comment

Is the building you have created a composite from all the kits you listed on the previous page, or a single kit? (it looks like parts from all the kits, but I am hoping it is a single kit )

On the last picture you have one of the buttresses fallen on the inside of the ruin - shouldn't it be on the outside?

Also, do you have any more of them, as I think the building could really do with some more just to lead the eye into the building rather than there just being a massive wall.

Any thoughts of adding some walkways around the walls? Many old churches have almost hidden passages around just below the roof - some sprue for supports stuck into the peg holes in the column sections of the walls could make good anchor points, then just add some plasticard/movement tray sections/etc on top and a small rail.

Just gives an extra dimension to the building and also allows people to make use of the upper windows and height of the building.

And I've said this before about large ruined church buildings that other people have made, but you really need some ruined benches and small statues of saints inside

Also, perhaps some stained glass printed onto OPH sheets in some of the windows and some small cut up shards littering the ground?

You don't even need to make windows to fit the holes, just print out some suitably scaled stained glass (photoshop has this feature - just have a random picture behind it and apply the stained glass filter), then cut to size.

How easy is the terrain to put Pegasus together?

VERY VERY EASY!! ... i just picked up one of every kit they have after i bought 1. Really cheap and good looking stuff when compared to most other similar terrain products.

It is a composite of it looks like 2 or 3 kits from what i can see here ... having a few of the kits myself

Those are all great ideas Silver thanks. To answer your general questions it IS all three kits combined. The buttresses are on the outside like the first picture! I built it on my coffee table and moved it to my work bench. I simply laid them inside for now. It will have a roof that comes off and more flooring is forth coming. Also I am adding pillars on the inside with models on top ie statues. I have even put the altar I made inside along with the termie. I am ordering these as well for the inside

whalemusic360 wrote:How easy is the terrain to put Pegasus together?

Yes and no Paul. You have to lay out a plan first but once you have a general idea it is very simople to put together. The box says it is a snap tight kit so really you don't need to glue it, but I strongly suggest you do!

I wouldn't say cheap per say. This building after shipping was about 65 bucks, I would say a HUGE value for what you get though

Thanks Neil this is going to be sweet when it is all done. Now if I can only find the time






As always thanks for all the comments and suggestions. Please keep um coming,

Mike

Wow pegasus should pay you for marketing; now i want a set of them there Gothic ruins. Good stuff as always madmarty!

I assume from the previous comments about OHP transparency that you are going to have a go at some stained glass?

whalemusic360 wrote:I assume from the previous comments about OHP transparency that you are going to have a go at some stained glass?

I may but that thing is all windows 36 after a quick glance! I got your Dread and I have a great idea for it

It may be a while if that is okay?

Mike

I'm excited about that huge building. The more your City of Death looks like a city, the better.

Your chapter choices are killin me Battle Brother Lucifer did an Angels Sanguine for me, but I doubt they will be next to each other, so it should be ok. Did you pick the one I specifically left off the list of successors?

Remember, it doesnt really even have to be a BA successor chapter (for my project) and certainly could be a home brew chapter.

No time rush. I'm not planning on really even doing to much with the board until May. I'm experimenting with the magnets now, I'll have a proof of concept up on the GMS in a few.

53000 views!! Woot, woot. Give away time?

I'll take it


Kidding. mostly anyways. I've got the first piller on a piece of board, speaking of give aways. Will be working on it this weekend.

The ruler gives me reassurance....that building is as long as....uh never mind.

Oh a more serious note thanks for the picture it gives it some perspective because at first it looks soooooo much bigger.

Good luck painting it because it is still massive.

Peter

The building is bombed out, so you don't need to add much glass

Maybe just some fragments/shards sticking out around a few of the windows. Perhaps some of the larger ones with half the glass blown out?

I am actually looking forward to painting it The project I am NOT looking forward to is the RoB board That's going to be a pain

Yay!

I found a home for my fountain


Capital/ Cathedral building based and glued. Now all I have to do is add these little plugs and the details, then paint!

Stay tuned

Mike

lots of lookers no comments. How do you guys think the fountain looks here?

Mike

You just convinced me to buy lots of Pegasus sets!

I think the fountain looks better than where it was previously. Seems like it was made for that spot.

HAHA! I guess I should ask for a sponsorship I am glad you like it and I am glad that you feel the same way as I do. The fountain has a home it is water effects time!



Also I would like some feedback about this thread. Recently I have heard that it is good form to have a table of contents for longer threads. Let me know if you guys think this thread should have a table of contents

As always thanks for all the comments and support,
Mike

Well, the Pegasus kits are just good thats all GWs buildings often seem to me as if they arent epic enough, especially given the vast scale of imperial cities in the fluff.

Contents are always useful, perhaps you could just link to the completed buildings. Its certainly manageable enough at the moment imo
