Next up is the detail bits and then paint. You can see that the foot print of the 3 door Dred Pod is a bit bigger. Here is the assembled pod with none of the detail work, next to a small Forge World 5 Door Space Marine Pod, with a miniature for scale. The card stock was just not working for the doors the different layers were separating, so I went to poly styrene sheet, still pretty cheap and easy to work, I also want to glue plastic bits to it for the details, so it should work well. The doors have proven to be a bit of a pain i think I will try something different here, and I am having a hard time glueing it all together, the PVA glue is taking forever. Started with glueing the wings together, and then the base. Using 5mm foam core and 1mm card stock I traced out all the pieces and cut them all out with scissors and a craft blade. Īnd then the Website plan do it yourselfer. I have decided to go with a dreadnought Drop Pod, as it has fewer doors and I think it is silly that so many troops are supposed to fit in the 5 door version, also it is slightly larger, so it will take up more space on the table to use as cover. įorge World models are super cool, but they cost 80 bucks and I want a bunch, so I will try to make them with out spending much $. Hope this guile helps - I will add to it as new models get released or repackaged.My goal for this project is to build a simple, cool looking, cheap Space Marine Drop Pod. At the same time, I think that Assassins and Electro-Priests belong on smaller 25 mm bases, but at your workbench only your opinion matters - it's your models, after all. I, for one, put my Ork Nobs on 32mm bases and my Warboss in mega-armour is on 50mm one which seems perfectly fitting, given the Ork attitudes towards size and power. In many cases in is left to the miniature owner to decide what base he wants to use. In the light of the above, the desire of some people to enforce very strict basing standards for 40k models seems even more ridiculous. The list includes Marauder Bomber/Marauder Destroyer, Kharybdis Assault Claw, Thunderhawk gunship, Sokar pattern Stormbird, Tau Manta, Orca Dropship (OOP) and Tyranid Harridan. The same goes for many super-heavy flyers - the usual flyer base can't really support the weight of this model and modelers are left to create their own bases.Many Titans, especially Eldar ones are often shown on some kind of custom base, mostly for stability purposes.Some FW artillery like Krieg Quad Launcher is shown on a bigger round base that predates the introduction of the 80/100/130/160mm bases.GW still sells Catachan snipers, one of which is based on a outdated square base.At the same time the plastic miniature can be seen on the 75x42 mm base on the " Sector Imperialis 60mm Round, 75mm Oval & 90mm Oval Bases" page on GW website.

Old Broodlord was sold on 40 mm round base while the one from Shield of Baal: Deathstorm used to be supplied with 75x46 mm oval base.At the same time, repackaged Forgeworld versions are supplied with 130 mm round bases, with the exception of their Keeper of Secrets, which stands on 105x70 mm one Old Greater Deamons were based on 60 mm round bases, but newer versions use 120x92 mm oval or 100mm round ones.The same goes for XV8 Crisis suits - plastic models were moved to 50mm bases with a release of new GW kit, while resin versions from Forgeworld stand on 60mm ones.GW Avatar of Khaine uses 40 mm base, while Forgeworld one is sold with 60mm one.
