WebWay travel may be closer than you think.....

WebWay travel may be closer than you think.....

The day may soon be close for you to get your hands on your very own inter planetary / webway / warp gate / star gate thingy. This project started a long time back and has gone through a good few phases and injections of enthusiasm. 

In my past of wargaming I have played the Eldar and so it’s always been a piece I wanted to do and think it would make a great objective or scenery piece for the table top. 

It’s started off looking a good deal different and very happy that it’s evolved into the current shape and look.

Above you can see an early attempt, not too clear from the old photo but it was very chunky , at the time was happy but as time went by didn’t like the back of it and as luck would have it  I happened to brake the master so gave me the opportunity to give it a fresh start. 

I liked the look and feel but just thought it should be a little slimmer and being carved / grown out of some alien material should be solid piece. So on to version 2. Below basic shape carved 

The original base was going to be massive so reduced it down to a more acceptable size. And then left the scenery for a bit to do some other models and things

TIME PASSED…..

Got my casting hat on and made a master cast and then moved to test casting. All seemed well and a test cast produced (some tinkering needed air getting out little issue but nothing major).  Played around with the rune stone position and number needed can got the model stuck together and ready for painting , good old spray undercoat and base coat all done. Then it got left for a while well…. Maybe a little more than a while…… started a few other projects and then started on the reactor 

And took some pictured of the progress shots, noticed the webway sitting all half painted and that just wouldn’t do.

 Painting hat one and some real progress made as I’m sure you can see.

 

The Webway will be all resin and will need some assembly. So time for some vital stats  

The base is approx. 12cm long x 10cm wide x 2cm tall

Two types of rune stones:

 Large rune stone  1.8cm long x 1.5cm wide  x 0.5cm high

Small rune stone 1.5cm long x 1cm wide x 0.5 high

The webway  the base is the base is 8cm long x 1.5 wide and the height is just under 20cm when attached to the base.

So with any luck all you pointy eared, pointy helmet army leaders can have your very own webway access.

 From what I hear from the space monkeys they are rather rare so you better guard them with your life.

 Obviously I’m not going to be exercising any race discrimination so other alien races may acquire some for their gaming tables too. 

Now if you feel the need to go and spread this news all over the net and tell as many gamers as you feel fit I’m not going to protest.
