Kaldoth Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hey all, I was just curious if there was any official artwork depicting Dolmen Gates floating around somewhere? I was thinking a gate would make for a cool centerpiece on a board, but the codex doesn't have any imagery and no description beyond being made of stone. Cheers if anyone can help!

Beatnik cryptek Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I'd go with something like a Stargate... A quick bing search found these. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/7e/bc/64/7ebc6476fc17a1964e1ec3aa6cae50b1.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/65/2e/e0/652ee03bcfe85563110517265c56a014--warhammer-terrain-k-terrain.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356788-depictions-of-dolmen-gates/#findComment-5336895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTaW Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I know there's a depiction of a Dolmen Gate in one of the BL stories I've read. Either the Necron short from the Shield of Baal series or the 2nd Mephiston book, Revenant Crusade. I'm getting a bookcase delivered tonight, once the books come out of boxes and go on shelves this week I'll look for those two and see what I can find. As far as terrain goes there's also 3dAlienWorld's gate: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356788-depictions-of-dolmen-gates/#findComment-5337084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatnik cryptek Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 In the outer reaches book for Deathwatch I think a dolmen gate is described, it's a big one. Also the dynasty in Deathwatch is an unusual one. It's throne world is just.... Wow!

Tyriks Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 They use a dolmen gate in Devourer but I can't remember the description. It's a shame that story wasn't continued, it's probably the best Necron fiction we have. The dolmen gates are based on stolen aeldari webway gates so maybe something like that model, but with necrodermis plating and some orbs?

Beatnik cryptek Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 The eldar didn't invited ng the portals and webway, they inherited it from the slann.

Tyriks Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I didn't say the Aeldari invented them, just that they control them now, and Dolmen Gates are either the exact same thing or a derivative mechanic.

MithrilForge Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I'd use this ... And paint it up in black, metal and green with little scarabs running around all over it ...and the eldar heads... removed for some Necron orb or Crystal or some such Necron thing?..

Beatnik cryptek Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Sin ce necrons have reliable ftl travel maybe they donct need dolmen gates as badly.

NTaW Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I just re-read the ending of Devourer and they use it but the authour doesn't describe it in any detail aside from that it was suspended by ancient Necron technology that "even the oldest Crypteks" had lost the knowledge of and it connected them to a Necron-tech infused path along the webway.
