Dark Bjoern Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Wow, i love what GW had done out of them. Now i know why to go ahead with the model i´m working on. They did them a different way then BolS. I think i´ll need two of them. It´seems that the GW Germany was faster this time: New Chaos Datasheets (german version) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/132571-silver-towers-of-tzeentch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingin Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I want to build like 50 THOUSAND OF THEM!!!! lol not really maybe one, but this was my idea make a circle base, na dmake it look like a tower but with some guns poking out and make it look Tzeentch-ish. Does anyone know what it supposed to look like just wonder whats with that no picture thing, gets me mad! but happy more Chaos data sheets!

styx Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The old Epic one was 3 towers on a round base that looked like rocks below. I would suggest something at a minimum the size of a CD or something slightly larger (maybe the smaller hubcaps) add foam to the edges for rock effect, then use PVC pipes for 3 towers with some Fantasy add on bits....

Muzza Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Rocks, well thats disapointing, I had always pictured inmy head that it would look like a disc with 3 towers that resembled maybe mushrooms. The entire thing would be a super reflective polished silver, and the Stems of the tower(the main bit before the discs on the top) would have carvings\sybols etc on them that in a fluff universe would be constantly changing but obviously not on the model! Maybe FW will release a model for these new super heavies?

Khestra the Unbeheld Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 To heck with rocks. Blend it; start with rocks and rubble as the base, grow it into a column sticking out of the ground, and about a quater of the way up start changing it into a crystalline surface with facets and edges. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/132571-silver-towers-of-tzeentch/#findComment-1533966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 My disc will be 10" in diametre and the highest tower will be 12,5" high. That´s a superheavy skimmer, it needs to be big. I try to let it look more or less like the old Epic model.

Kingin Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 What would the base be because I don't know what you mean by saying CD, also you can put icons of tzeentch on the rocks, and other stuff, I thought the sliver tower from data sheet was only one tower not 3.

Khestra the Unbeheld Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 CD = compact disc as a base. I think that's a mite small for a Superheavy skimmer. I'm thinking at least a 9" diameter, roughly the length of a Baneblade, as a base. 12" vinyl record ought to cover it. The datasheet describes it as a "cluster of towers on a floating disc", which implies multiple structures on one base.

Kingin Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 when I'm reading it again and again it talks about fluff wise that it comes with other towers on an island floating thing, I can get the idea of multiple towers but it seems like that it talks and gives points for just one tower.

Hadhfang Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 when I'm reading it again and again it talks about fluff wise that it comes with other towers on an island floating thing, I can get the idea of multiple towers but it seems like that it talks and gives points for just one tower. I think that the entire island is the "tower" rules wise, but modeling wise and fluff wise you could have anything from a single tower to a city up there. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/132571-silver-towers-of-tzeentch/#findComment-1536366 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deneris Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I tried mine last Saturday in a 10k/side Apocalypse battle. It's ability to "shroud" friendly units was the most useful, as the poor thing turned into a fire magnet, and finally was reduced to 0 structure points in turn 2. Of course, it then provided cover for my corrupted Hellhammer for the rest of the game. The shooting of the tower is rather nasty, and having BS4 was a plus- using the d6 shot gun (Forget the name) I was able to down an Eldar Nightwing. Sadly, there weren't any tasty targets for the bolt of power due to a misplaced Blind Barrage- Damn allies :P. Would I take it again? Maybe. But it makes such a large target I might be better off paying a few hundred points more for a ground-based super heavy.

Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I've always envisioned them likes Sauron's tower: I'd take a CD spray expanding foam on, then flip it and continue with a sick awesome tower(expanding foam on under side of CD, tower on overside) Appropriate fire effects, semi translucent tower parts, and enormous lightning bolts would also be added of course... You know what? I'll build one. I'll post my progress here :P EDIT: WIPS: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/132571-silver-towers-of-tzeentch/#findComment-1559402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snejk Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Ok, this thread has been dead for a while, but I'm wondering if anyone , except this guy: http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.p...(silver)-Towers has actually built Silver Towers that look awesomely Tzeentchian? I stumbled upon these the other day and thought to myself "Holy [a number of inappropriate curse words] those look like the hottest and most awesome things i have ever laid my eyes upon! (Maybe except for the bodyrock.tv girl, and a 68 Dodge Charger), and i began thinking how I could build my own. I have had thoughts of converting Bastions and combine them with wall sections from the Sanctum Imperialis and Administrorum Or maybe combining a WHFB Fortress Tower with various Sanctum and Administrorum bits, and possibly building some sort of Aztek-ish step pyramid looking thing with magic guns, daemons and more magic guns and daemons, (hippie) crystals sticking out and a good, solid 8-9" base that looks like the Tower has just been ripped from earth and is floating around with parts of the earth hanging from beneath it. I would like it to be five sided, and slightly pyramid shaped, raising to a sleek monolith or two. No round towers here... Perhaps a Drop pod could be the start of one? Or plasticard? My Alpha legion is by the way being more and more influenced by the Changer of Ways...

Narse Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Well... its been a long-time and I can't find the threads as I researched them before. custom-cut acrylic I've seen pictures of other custom-cut acrylic stuff painted with airbrushes, and those seem to work out well.
