This bastion has been built with the contents from the Strongpoint boxed set where I just threw all the parts together and made things up as I went, making for a fun way to spend the evening. I present to thee, the Tiny Bastion of DOOM. Buyer beware, Vostroyans shown for scale purposes only.
I decided to break tradition and not build it as tall as those shown in the Planetstrike book, mainly because I feel like I'm different and because I don't really have the storage space for really tall terrain pieces.
Here from the side, please ignore the hatch glued there to cover up the sawn away heavy bolter crenelation. It did perfectly there but I mainly stuck it there because I couldn't find a suitable door to go there without resorting to drastic hacking and sawing.
The Bastion from the top, showing off the one design flaw I put in by accident: I envisioned the lower platform to have a quad or Icarus cannon while the upper platform would have the vox array. Sadly the funky hatchway ensures that nothing can be mounted in a great fashion on the lower platform. Oh well, s**t happens.
The Icarus on a tripod.
The vox array, it has lots and lots of fiddly bits that are quite fragile. Excellent conversion fodder for command tanks though.
The quad cannon, too weedy for a Hydra but still a nice thing to plonk somewhere in your defence lines.
