Those aren't all fortifications. You're just listed the terrain model sets GW sells (like the Manufactorum is not a fortification) and you missed Fortifications they don't sell a model for (like the Void Shield Generator)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8432261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8432261.page GMT Most popular fortifications http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8433054.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8433054.page GMT Most popular fortifications
The Void Shield generator is very popular - for the saves granted and the way in which they are granted. You will likely have to scratch build one though due to them being a limited run.

The Aegis Defence Line is a cheaper way of getting a Quad Gun on the field compared to other options for some AA defence.

The Bastion also provides the Quad and a nice LOS platform for Vindicare /Snipers or equivalent. Though the price is higher.

Of course the use depends on your army - for static, long range forces they're potentially great but it really depends on your force and playstyle]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8433067.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8433067.page GMT Most popular fortifications
ADL gives you cover saves and cheap AA for a static army.
Bastion for blocking Line of Sight for larger creatures. Bunker if you don't need to block Line of Sight.
VSG for protecting your guys - used mainly in a fast army so that the opponent can't use it.

I've yet to see other pieces of terrain in action, so can't really comment on them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8433097.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8433097.page GMT Most popular fortifications
The fuel lines. -> My ork burna's love these things . it isn't good I know but it is just so much fun when it finally works.

Agis line -> Dirt cheap cover

Landing pad -> Perfect for giving cheap inv saves to big stuff.

Tank traps. -> they offer close combat protection vs Imp knights : D

The tau you get shot wall, it is a bit too expensive but quit a lot of fun when using or boyz.

With my imperial army I don't use any at all. Fortifications just don't feel right for my elite get in there as fast as possible and fight style of army ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8433411.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8433411.page GMT Most popular fortifications
so I can place my Vendetta in hover mode on the platform on turn 1.

So the Skyshield can be useful, and it gives some good cover saves.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8434757.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8434757.page GMT Most popular fortifications http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8434827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8434827.page GMT Most popular fortifications

It gives 4++ invulnerable save while shields are up (which is why you see people theoryhammering Tzeentch autocannon havocs using it as a sniper perch). I'm not sure what the cover save is. Maybe 5+ as it doesn't have a cover save listed, though a 4+ would make more sense to me?


my mistake friend, I meant the 4++ inv save, thanks for catching that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8434850.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8434850.page GMT Most popular fortifications http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8434961.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8434961.page GMT Most popular fortifications It is the trench, the HW trench, the bunker, and the gun positions. They can be taken as a WoM network, though.
The bastion and ADL are a network of buildings, too, if taken the right way.

For what I use most, it is the Wall of Martyrs bunker.
It is a AV14 medium building, with a battlemented roof, 2x 4-man fire points, and a range of add-ons.
Alll for 5 points more than an ADL, which can easily be flanked or lobbed over.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8437155.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678997/8437155.page GMT Most popular fortifications
