Ok so this is the first of my objectives for my imperial army, still needs a bit moer done to the paint work, and snow etc added to the base, but the idea is its a forward out look tower, with stationed guard.
Have the other 2 objectives planned out and on the cutting board, and they shouldnt be to far away from some prelim photos.

Feedback always welcomed.

Regards

Tim NZ

It looks more Eldar-esque with the way it flows IMHO, but that doesn't take away from the fact its a great piece. Added to the Hydra, you are clearly a man blessed with a Vanvlak-level eye for seeing items as what they could be, not what they are - and that is a high complement in my book! :)

Very nifty! i really like the use of the most static IG miniature there was :) I think a decidedly Imperial paint scheme will erase any eldar-ness (if there is any)

I think the infantry guy need a bit more colours (flesh on his face at least), and a few angular gubbins on the top of the tower would probably go some length toward erasing that tau/eldar impression that round structure tend to evoke for many players.

A dead shrub or some dead grass on the base* would help to add some details to the base before adding the snow.

Overall, it already look quite good anyway, I love your take on the polar/winter theme.


*go for burnt/brownish colours to go with the winter theme if you do so.

I have a dozen super glue caps and they are excellent for scratchbuilding. I used them for my ork jetbiker.

Good job!
