The tower would mainly be used as a scout outpost. Not entirely sure how the lookout would get up there but a lift might allow them to get the top because a spiral staircase would struggle, but what the hey!
Lot's of issues with the buttresses twisting so it's not entirely plumb straight but this is the best angle. View it from another side and it's the leaning tower of Pizza.
Here is is, pretty much finished on a CD base. Still to colour the door and buttress supports. In game terms it's a bit of a 'red herring' trying to maintain unit coherency is a nightmare. I allow anyone in the lookout to be in coherency with the rest of the unit at the foot of the building. Presumably the enhance comms equipment inside allows this. However, it pretty much means your unit is static. Of course if you just have one las-cannon perched at the top this may be ideal, though in real terms, not so much...
Very nice. I like this a lot.
ReplyDeleteYou could just use it as either impassible terrain or make it an occupiable building with access points and everything. The person on the top can represent a fire point.
I love how it plays with our expectations. It's Gothic with a twist, but not brutal, and the colour is an excellent change from the tired old grey. It fits with how many ways of doing things there must be on all those worlds.
ReplyDeleteOnce you stick the paint on that thing it comes to life! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, good job!
ReplyDeleteNice design. I may have to build a few of these.
ReplyDeleteCheers everyone, if you give it a go let me know how the templates work, with pictures!
