pretre Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Okay, so apparently this sucker is pretty big (the official, limited edition model): Figured I'd pass this along to everyone that likes their kitbashed or homemade buildings to size match the GW ones. I got a chance to look at a Void Shield Generator still in box and was able to take some rough measurements: The base, from 'toe' to 'toe' is 5" square, with the inner edge being 3 1/2" wide. The top of the base is 3" square and the base sits at 2 1/2" tall without the gears. The gears are 1/8" thick and are roughly 2 1/2" in diameter. The pillars are 6 1/2" inches tall, with a 1/8" thick platform sitting on the 3 1/2" mark. Fully assembled the building would roughly 9 1/2" tall at the Tesla Orbs, with battlements at 2 1/2" and 6". This means that to create your own, you would need to make a building that would, on average, sit on a 4" base, with a 3" square tower and overall, stand 6 1/2" in height. Ideas for a good conversion/replacement using other models? I'm thinking a bastion might not be a bad idea if you made pillars that covered the four HB and went into the air above to give the added height. (plus I could magnetize on my existing bastion.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'd love one of these as a basis, but I think that'd be a lot of extra bits just for the tower. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'd love one of these as a basis, but I think that'd be a lot of extra bits just for the tower. :) It is a pretty cool kit. If anything, it's cheap for what is inside. That said, thing is 14" tall, so it's a bit too large. That las turret would look really cool in an Immolator mount....

pretre Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 The las turret is a bit big, I imagine. Okay, scratch the FoR. Other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Just plop this badboy down on the field? Well, with this one, you can give your opponent a cookie every time they start getting frustrated with your Void Shields shutting down their game ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Plus it makes the noise! Although that's proxy land, which I disapprove of. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalmer Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hello there, Perhaps a vengeance weapon base and some drop pod fins? Add some clear piping or whatever "void shield-y" effect inside? Stay safe, don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 1) Go to garage, find broken electronic device 2) Disassemble, reassemble inside out 3) Prime black, drybrush silver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
