Docimus automated silo


Snakefish is a world in the balance. Its huge resources and breathable, stable atmosphere make it a high prize indeed, with every major player in the galaxy vying for supremacy. By far the strongest and most established of these factions is the Imperial Guard.
Even they are not short sighted enough to expect an easy victory, so certain contingency plans have been put in place. The formost of these are the DOCIMUS class automated missile silos. Dotted at random over both the north and south continents the are fully prepped to fire should the planet fall. Each silo has the absolute minimum profile above ground, and is as compact as possible below to minimise detection. Armed with a weapon similar to the deathstrike missile but with a payload of either viral agents or "dirty" radioactive material they are the ultimate line of defence.


this can also be used as an escape hatch for various scenarios

Not only are Chimera chassis fitted with hydra platforms. fixed installtions may have large, fixed and manned stations on hard standings. DROPS villages and camps have temporary units on tripod mounts. secure zones such as Forward Operating bases and sky ports have automated fixed Hydra systems mounted on a motorised base.



- im SOOOOO please with this little baby, and it took about an hour. its the escape hatch from the bastion kit but as you can tell its very versatile! i put it on the standard round base... its a teeny bit small but im fucked if im buying an oval valk base for it. its perfectly fine as it is....

so, i hope you like it. if hovering around saying this ismy fave model right now, and there is nothing to it!

All the stuff you post make me wanna play 40k Biakal :) Id be crap at the tactics and stuff, but it would be awesome to tinker with terrain and models like you do. I guess Id need a bunch of years to reach your painting skills though.

iv not been doing it that long... 2009 i think, maybe 2008. you dont have to play the game to like the models tho! get a little something you fancy and have a play. be fearless BUT- plan everything. mental planning is the key. then after a certain point, let the force guide you
