Very cool terrain pieces.

I gota get me one of those defense lasers at some point, I hadn't looked at them with an epic eye for some reason.

@jimmyzimms, in fact, doing an overview on the set of 40k fortifications there is a huge potential for conversion and reconversion into epic, even as a starting point for titanic works, more than titanic. Huge gates, towers, bastions...

Absolutely :) I bought 2 x Fortress of Redemption kits some years ago with the intention to convert gothic epic city walls out of them. There would also be a couple of extremely large building towers with angel decoration, plus orbital missile silos and I thought I might convert a AA twin lascannon housing into an astrological observatory. Not done any of that yet but hopefully eventually.

Absolutely an epic idea GlynG! And really nice yours lylekelm!
@Onyx, I'll copy your paint style on them! :) I like it so much!!

They are a bit expensive but with imagination and patience it's possible to create big project, obviously renovating the components from scratch, a bit like Lego, rebuilding the pieces in another way. For ex., the Onyx Chaos bastion is an epic idea, that I've copied it creating the Imperial Bastion in epic scale with balcony and heavy weapon armament.

For people after something a little less "GrimDark" I reckon these would work well as orbital defence lasers...

In fact I'm planning to get a couple and then build a defence installation around them (using 6mm Xmarx pieces) which helps to make clear they are orbital level weapons and put them in scale.

Really nice this too Luke!
Yes Rastamann, they come as you see from the box. No added component.

Had my eye on most of these for just such a use for some time.

Great call on adding these to 6mm. I can see these towering alongside a fortress wall, overshadowing the field of battle....

lylekelm - I really like how you surrounded them with the crater. Is that the old gw moonscape or did you pick those up from someplace else?

I add +1 to the choir. To really make them sparkle, you would have to redo all scale giveaways. I'm thinking the rivets need to be replaced with small scale variants for one thing. Huge amounts of fiddly bits would probably be beneficial too...

gunslinger- the craters are light weight plastic (or resin) and came in a plastic bag with 5 different styles. They are already painted. Cant remember the brand. Bought them from a local hobby store mainly because they were cheap.
