It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. Time to jump back in the pool with a piece of terrain I’ve had for about 12-15 years or so. It’s an Imperial bunker I bought for use in Warhammer 40,000.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have a few pieces of terrain cast from the same material. It feels like solidified Great Stuff (spray insulation), but a bit stronger. Looking closely, I can see it was made by a company called “Epicast”. The “Breeder Bomb”<\/a>\u00a0was also one of these pieces. As you can see,\u00a0the bunker\u00a0comes apart into 3 pieces, so it’s possible to put miniatures inside the balcony and on the roof.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, as you can see, it painted up pretty easily. It took me about an hour to apply the craft paint, shade and highlight it, and add some base turf here and there. Here’s what it looks like finished, front and back:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It seems to be a bit high for\u00a0a bunker, but a bit too small for a fort.<\/p>\n

An Ultramarine standard bearer from my first ever 40K army, circa 1994 or so. My marines were primarily beakies from the Rogue Trader boxed set. Guys like this were considered “new” at the time. I remember he retailed for $6.50.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A couple of Imperial Guard (yes, I said Imperial Guard, not Astra Militarium!), a commissar and a Mordian trooper, from my main 40K army, the Mordian\u00a0IX<\/a>.\u00a0 The roof has been removed and they’re in the balcony.<\/p>\n

Sadly, since I no longer play 40K, it’s unlikely I’ll ever use\u00a0this piece\u00a0in a game. Tough to use\u00a0it\u00a0for anything else, either, considering that big skull just screams GW. Still, it’s good to get it painted up after all these years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
