Before I get into my guard army I want to do their fortress (I'll never finish painting it otherwise).
It's not 100% accurate to GW's fortress kit but is in the same ballpark.
Had lots of spare tyranid bits from an aborted tyranid army and other projects.

Great work and a brilliant idea. I love the idea of fortifications covered in the enemy dead from the last encounter!
]Just like the others, I am really looking forward to seeing this getting painted up.

Thanks for the comments. Yeesh this is taking a long time, non metallic steel is hard to do on large panels. Finally got the walls almost finished. Just need to stipple/sponge on some frost and ice and then I can move on to the tyranids.

oooh i really like it.
one point that turns me a bit off tho... there is one of those flying nids that crashed on the top floor, it seems a bit off

It's perhaps because the wings are 'billowed' as if catching air for their main purpose as a model instead of stretched and limp as the Gargoyles carcass drags the membranes down.
But it's awesome work and the metal looks well worth the effort.

It's purpose is to help hide the way that the back panel lifts off. I'm also intending to add in a few 'action' guardsmen later on that can be doing specific actions on their own bases. In this case, administering a kill shot to the back of the gargoyle's head.

Small scale weathering test before I get through all the walls. New dry compund paints are interesting.

Starting to get there now.
Weathering on the walls is done and the tyranids are under way. Need a few extra highlights on the blue but otherwise there. Thinking bone coloured carapace to keep with the ice world theme.
Late summer heatwave does give better light for photos:

No sorry, got bumped for other projects and has been stranded at the bottom of a cupboard (my IG are somewhat on hold now until we get the new codex), I am intending to go back to it though when I get my last khorne models done, be finished before Christmas.
