So I am blatantly stealing a idea from Duz regarding making a flakturm. I decided that I wanted it to fit in with the other buildings I have and not be too out of scale with them. I figured that this would make a pretty cool item on the table and would even be good for AI. It had to be in the 40k style and I also wanted to update it a bit in that it needs to have a defense laser on the roof also.



These are still WIP, but am liking where it is going. I plan to cast up the walls so they are all similar.



Now, the problem I have is that I am still waiting on my hydra batteries from FW. I also am not sure what to use on the gun emplacements. I will have some hunter launchers, but I also want some smaller guns. This will be for AAA and ground/building defense. Anyone have any ideas if there is something out there I can use or will it be a matter of me scratch-building some?

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!

Really liking the look of this.  

I'm going to make one comment, since you plan on casting these up... next time you do a similar project, leave off the battle damage from you "masters" so you can customize each piece... instead of them all being damaged/hit in exactly the same places!  *laugh*

Still looks fantastic, eager to see more!

Yeah, I realized this after I started to put them them on. D'OH!  8v)

Wow!  That is going to be one sexy piece of terrain once you finish it up!

What about using the FW heavy AA guns or Sabre platform bits in those nooks that are not hunter turrets?  It looks like you have enough wiggle room to place them in.

You suck, with your very distracting neat stuff.

Just putty in the battle damage, reuse your work.

Are you using Hunter Launchers because you have them laying around?

I would think with 4 Hydras that would prove 'sufficient' AA.  I was thinking a mix of Lascannon / Heavy Bolter turrets from Razorbacks perhaps in those positions to act as point defenses.


I may shamelessly copy this in the future.

ooh.. Those sabre platforms look good.

I am using the hunters because that is what I have on hand. Basically I see this as a 3 tier Air defense system. The first tier is the Defense laser (I am thinking about magnetizing this and also being able to add a missile system or even nothing) for low orbit craft. The 2nd tier is the Hydras for long range flak. Finally, you get the 3rd tier to be the close in Air Defence for those aircraft that come in to low or through the hydra flak.

For anti infantry/vehicle, I plan on having some lower down on the walls. Not sure what to use here though.

Great work! Hope it inspire more ppl to scratch build terrain.

On a side note, the walls you plan on casting...think you'll have extras ?? :whistle:
