About the Project

I bought a 3D Printer mostly because of this project but with all the amazing stuff out there I drifted away from this particular project. It's built system agnostic but it's compatible with Epic. I'm starting out with Iron Warriors to mirror my regular Horus Heresy force but I might branch out later down the road.

The quickest to paint was definitely the vehicles. I wasn't sure how to base them but 40mm Round bases I think was the best choice.The quickest to paint was definitely the vehicles. I wasn't sure how to base them but 40mm Round bases I think was the best choice.

Very rough pictures but it's finished. It's also dark, and I'm sick so stick around for much better pictures in the next week or so. I think I'll do some more Terrain, I'm thinking of Blood Angels or Imperial Fists for opponents but at this point I just want as little metallic areas as possible.

The original pieces, some 3D Printed Dawn of War Style bunkers, the bottle caps will have some AA Guns put on them once I get some more resin.The original pieces, some 3D Printed Dawn of War Style bunkers, the bottle caps will have some AA Guns put on them once I get some more resin.

The offcuts were glued to the base to simulate a floor underneath the rubble. I got the idea from a friend of mine many years ago who did the same thing with some LOTR TerrainThe offcuts were glued to the base to simulate a floor underneath the rubble.

I used Geek Gaming Scenics Desert Basing Mix to simulate a bunch of rubble and destruction. I went back and forth on using this stuff and if I did it again I would mix a bit more finer sand in the mix but I'm very happy with how they turned out.
