There are times, like large-scale Tyranid Invasions or an Ork Waaagh!, that Imperial troops are put on the defensive. This plasteel-reinforced fortification is a perfect firing position from which to hold off alien hordes. Even vehicles will get hull down cover when secured behind these defensive positions.

Step 1

To create a fortification like the one shown here, cut a base out of hardboard and walls out of insulation board.

Step 2

Create plasteel reinforcements out of thin plasticard and add “rivets” by punching them out of plasticard with a small hole punch.

Step 3

Add some final details to give your piece some character. We added textured plasticard flooring (available at better hobby shops) to our fortification. Prime the whole piece with black paint and drybrush Codex Grey, Fortress Grey, and Rotting Flesh on the walls. Paint the plasteel with Tin Bitz, Boltgun Metal, and a “rust” wash of Bestial Brown and Chestnut Ink.

Step 4

The crates and barrels can be found in the Online Store.
