Well, if you follow my blog, and apparently 30 of you do, you might have seen the above image before. It's my first of the Dreamforge Leviathans I picked up, and it's proudly in the case at Titan Games and Hobbies.
I've had my second Levi just sitting in it's box, and I haven't touched it all. And then these came in:
Since the painted Levi was at the store, I decided to assemble the one that was at home. I pulled out my LED kits and got to work. Sadly, there's just not enough room in the guns or torso for a full 9v to fit into it, so I had to order the mini-ones from the kit maker. Thus, the torso lights are still a work in progress.
My first is one I made from instructions I found in the old 4th edition rulebook, back when hobbying was allowed, perhaps even encouraged!
Given how rough mine looks, perhaps I shouldn't have been encouraged. It may be pug ugly, but it gets the job done. It blocks LoS, and protects models. I made two of the buggers, and both are still with me after 8 years, so I think they've made their $10 I put into them back for me.
And if you want to make your own (hopefully less ugly) bunkers, Miniwargaming shows you how easy it is right here:
I was also excited to see the GW Wall of Martyrs one as well. It looked neat and fit the grimdark. That was, of course, until I got it home. It was tiny, smaller even than my trusty foamcore bunker.
Note which one actually has paint on it.
Interior detail, but still no lavatories in the 41st millenium
At the last Adepticon, I spied the bunker above available as a kit from Tectonic Craft Studios. Two bucks more, and tons more room, plus interior detail and usable roof space. I will admit, it was more complex to assemble than the GW bunker, but given the sheer size of it, and how well the kit is engineered, I'll work with it. In fact, I bought another one. I'm just waiting to assemble it.
That being said, I did but the firestorm redoubt. Because flyers. The rule are wonky, but I think in the end, it'll be effective.
This one is still WIP, just like the Tectonic Bunker, the Redoubt is just further along.
Now, I just need that table to come in from Secret Weapon, and we'll be set!
God, I'm kicking myself. I should have ordered a ton of these from the Kickstarter, and I didn't. I should have known better.
These are astounding, as you can see from the following pics.
The larger doors will be hinged, but the smaller ones will not be. That's a problem that magnets can solve. The not stormbolter will have a full traverse, and will be able to shoot anywhere around the vehicle. More pics and a further write-up are here.
