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.
