Image Description: This is my Tyranid Bastion that I scratchbuilt. There is a foamboard template available on my site for the core structure, if you wish to give it a go. Everything else after that - lemonade bottles, polystyrene, air-drying clay, Milliput, GW moonscape craters and Tyranid weapons, string, beads and lavastones, you'll have to source yourself.
Altogether I think this cost me £10-£15 although some bits I already had and wasn't using so actual bought items were nearer the lower number. It weighs just short of 1kg and was made and painted over 2 months but given the monotonous nature I don't think I spent more than 60-90 minutes at a time making it and there was only two weeks of solid progress every night, the other 6-7 weeks were a night here, a night there. I would say it was a challenge, but not overly difficult, I think anyone could achieve this with only a little skill but obviously a bit of time and a lot of patience.
If you want to know more there's a link to my blog or look up the dakkadakke forum thread. I'll be preparing a basic Armies on Parade board next that this will feature on but eventually I hope to work up some Capillary Towers for my next Tyranid terrain. |

Great work. I love all of the creative interpretations people are producing for the fortifications. |

Hey, Did you go to battle brothers around July? I'm sure I saw this then and it is even better IRL! |

Yes Aidan I was at Battle Brothers, someone on a forum had a spare ticket and I offered to partner him. It was a great event and even more so for the fact I made a new friend and we came 2nd. Thanks for your compliment
Indeed GeronimoJones this was at GW Southport for Armies on Parade which I won, unfortunately against no competition.
Viktor, the blue is just Ultramarine with a wash of Sepia and then another wash of Devlan Mud [equivalent] it really give it that deep sea blue.
And thanks to everyone for all the kind words, Capillary Towers are in the pipeline next :) |
