Fortress of Redemption

Fortress of Redemption from GamesDay 2010.

Fortress of Redemption from GamesDay 2010.

The Fortress of Redemption is an indomitable fortress, a towering bulwark against the ravages of planetary invasion. First used by the Dark Angels of the Adeptus Astartes, these unyielding fortresses have since been used by every military force in the Imperium of Man, and have proved invaluable in the war against disorder. A nigh on unassailable stronghold, the Fortress of Redemption bristles with weaponry, a missile silo and two bunker annexes.

This is quite a “constrained” piece of scenery in that it is very specific terrain piece that has, in my opinion, little use outside a Dark Angels army. If this had been a non-specific Space Marine chapter fortress I am sure I would have bought one, as I suspect many others would as well. Having said that I do like the fact that Games Workshop as well as producing non-specific terrain also makes specific terrain.

Ork Stompa Gantry

I have been thinking about more Ork scenery for some time. When recently my son broke his toy crane I was inspired to take the broken section and use it as part of a Stompa Gantry. I have also used parts from an Ork Trukk, an Ork Battlewagon and Imperial Accessories. I have used foamcard for the base and the majority of the model was stuck together with a hot glue gun.

Since my previous post on the gantry I have added some more bits and pieces and some stones to the base.

There are some grab rails from the Ork Trukk kit, as well as an engine on the base. I have also used some of the brass from the Warhammer 40000 basing kit.
