PaulOG: Wall of Matrys (90 points)

Finally got some paint onto a long neglected bit of terrain this weekend: the Wall of Martyrs. I recently picked up an Imperial fortress looking thing second hand at CanCon, so that gave me the impetus to get it done - great battlefield options for playing Kill Team.
 Here is the Wall of Matyrs - a defensive fortification in inimitable GW style.  It comprises 2 long trenches, 3 intersections and 6 end pieces to make a flexible system.
New terrain deserves some new defenders!
I also did 2 tester figs for my new Kill Team faction - the Black Templars.  Yes I am a sucker for a new army, but at least in Kill Team its only a modest investment (or so I tell myself)
In action this morning - defended by Chaos Marines!
This entry makes the Skull-o-meter very happy: The templar figures have 4 skulls between them, and the myriad corpses of dead imperial guardsmen stacked against the wall of martyrs add another (48+28+17+26+26) = 145: a small skull bomb!
Added to my previous work, that brings my current tally to 233 noggins.  Thats a lot of grim dark!

Points wise the trenches all add up to 6 lengths of 6 inch x 4 inch wide terrain.  Thats the equivalent of 4 terrain blobs for 80 points. The two 28mm figs add another 10 for a total of 90.

Thats should break my target 500 points target - onto Snowlord's Peak!

MilesR: A wonderful and macabre piece of terrain there Mr O'G.  The skull count is just as impressive.  I like the weathering on the walls.  Hmmm, If only you had some ships to paint......

  2. So when they call it 'The Wall of Martyrs', they weren't being poetic... Got to hand it to the Imperial authorities, they certainly do get creative with their choice of materials!

    Very impressive piece of terrain there, Paul!

    1. Skull bombs do seem inordinately rare don't you think?
      Cheers Iain!

  6. Sooo... essentially it's a wall of corpses? Lovely. Looks like it would be useful in a game though.

  10. Great looking defensive position and an epic skull count. You’ll be drinking from Barks skull in a few weeks.
