Chapter House Studios Put Up The DarkTech Defences
June 26, 2013 by brennon
In the wake of their court battle against Games Workshop, Chapter House Studios have taken to Kickstarter for their DarkTech Defences fundraiser which you can check out below...
They are moving to create a selection of walls and heavy weapons for use with Sci-Fi armies on the battlefield. It just so happens that they are compatible with a certain game called Warhammer 40,000.
I have to say that this is a great step in the right direction as folks have been looking for terrain like this since 6th Edition came into being. It was all well and good using the Aegis Defence line but now you have something tailored towards your army.
Above you can see the Space Elf, Undead and Tech Confederacy pieces that have been styled to fit each of the armies that I think you've guessed already.
They have already been funded and are now looking ahead to more bitz and terrain.
What do you think?
Nice to have some variation. Love the ripples on the force fields. May be nice to have a few small circular ones to represent small arms fire hits.
The up coming GW releases for wall of Martyrs expansions look quite tasty as well.
Consider it done!
Personally, i don’t like the look of the eldar field, would of prefered something like a wraithbone construct.
Seem like inspiration went out the window. Shame.
The ‘heretic slave barrier’ looks like nothing I’ve seen before (on KS but not mentioned here). Pretty gritty chaos IMHO.
That Space Undead defensive wall looks very nice.
looks ugly. I think it s cool that they try to complete GW, but their level of sculpt/design is def low.
Much needed bit of kit, works much better for getting the right feel to the table and forging a strong narrative.
I must add that I think these images above are from the early stages of production when it comes to these defences. Once we see some actual terrain we’ll be able to judge their quality better.
Keep that in mind folks 🙂
Like the look of these, and I realise they are meant to fit in with 40k as alternatives for necrons tau and eldar (at a guess, im pretty out of the loop) are there any plans to have some vanilla items? i.e. without 40k stylised iconography? oh and how long are the ‘long’ and ‘short’ walls for the non 40k savvy?
Each long section is approximately 6 inches and the short sections are about 1.5 inches.
I’d back this just to thumb my nose at GW! No more skulls, no more skulls!
Wouldn’t mind an alternative for the minotaur’s chapter of space marines, since they are based on spartans you could have the corpse wall from the movie 300 😀
Space elf bone wall!
