Sohail187 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 So with escalation and stronghold becoming more and more regular in 40k games I have started to protect my wolves with the void shield generator. However no official model has been released so I thought id make my own!! No idea what a shield generator looks like so i just starting gluing random bits together and this is what i ended up with. At the moment only the base has been completed, the rest of the model has base colours only. Hoping to use this in Throne of skulls in march void of those nasty nasty d shots. http://i42.tinypic.com/2637xw8.jpghttp://i41.tinypic.com/2ag0v7n.jpgReally easy to do! just drop pod bits and the cables i made and the base is a cork with loads of spru on it! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285694-my-void-shield-to-protect-the-wolves/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanPesci Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 looks good! will be interesting to see what people say about base size...i presume void shields work by measuring 12" from the edge of the base? So having a bigger base = bigger AOE??

Sohail187 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Well if people moan about he base i am more than happy to measure it from the middle of the generator its self.

Max_Dammit Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Looks fantastic, sell it to GW so they can produce it =D Lets see I see sprue, Twin linked heavy bolters, rhino hatches, inside console of a Raider, terminator banner and a piece of the quad gunn I cant make out the top parts Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285694-my-void-shield-to-protect-the-wolves/#findComment-3570724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Marshal Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Actually I would agree that its not big enough. That's not saying I don't like it. But it says its a impassible armor 13 building with battlements. From what I get from that means there should be room up top for some guys to stand Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285694-my-void-shield-to-protect-the-wolves/#findComment-3570751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sohail187 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Black Marshall, alot of debate went into how big i wanted to make the base. After speaking to some of the warhammer world team, they said a good size would be Wall of martyrs - vengeance weapons battery. So i stuck to that size ish. Max: U got a few bits wrong.The main console part is from the inside of the inside of the drop pod. I cut the bits out and turned them sideways. Then the base is a cork with spru, the top bits are the radar console from inside of drop pods as well. The cables i made my self. http://i42.tinypic.com/2pz9n6f.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285694-my-void-shield-to-protect-the-wolves/#findComment-3570835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanPesci Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Well if people moan about he base i am more than happy to measure it from the middle of the generator its self. which is cool, seems like a bit of a GW blunder for not actually specifying these things (or for releasing a new supplement without the required models for it!). Still yet to read the new supplement, but seems from what youve been saying that these void shield generators may well be worth looking into Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285694-my-void-shield-to-protect-the-wolves/#findComment-3571432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sohail187 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Manage to finish it last night! however i think the bronze needs some work. My local gaming group have given me some tips on the bronze which i will try tonight. But any other imput on how to do nice bronze is welcomed! http://i41.tinypic.com/2eqc410.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2u4o4fr.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285694-my-void-shield-to-protect-the-wolves/#findComment-3576412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Cool . a SW player here did it a bit different . he used a coil from an old electromagnet and put 3 rune priests on the base of a imperial bunker with its top blown up , modeling witch fire over them and the generators . They can be removed and each one counts as a separate void shield .
