Rubble Fortress; The Warlord builds his fort

After long deliberation and much rooting through my stored junk I have decided to make a rubble fortress.

A well set up operation such as Vali's had access to some looted heavy machinery (dont forgot to loot those industrial parks kids, you never know what is left there!). Large Slabs of concrete recycled from the ruins where buried upright in the ground and had large piles of dirt stacked at the bottom to secure them. In addition to this metal plates and other scrap is added to the fortress to make it tougher.

So far there will be several 6" sections of wall with a gate and two corner sections allowing a fair bit of flexibility from the set. I am undecided on how high to make them at the moment.

I found a load of 2 x 1" polystyrene packing pieces from a mirror we got last year. These are in the region on 3 to 5 foot long. I will be chopping these to make the dirt piles and some of the rubble walls. Other bits of Polystyrene will be chopped up to make the rest of the rubble walls. I am considering making a couple of scrap wall sections too just for some variety. If time allows I may also make up a watch tower or two.

The walls will be fairly easy to make but the gate section will need some thought, planning and extra detail.

Now where did I leave that hot glue gun?

Just for when ya really need it in a game ya might make a wall section with a blown out section to simulate where entry was made by explosives. Not that you need any suggestions considering the work you have already been quite able to achieve!

Seeing these walls reminds me of the Fallout Tactics scenario where you need to transport an un-exploded nuclear bomb to an enemy base (actully to breach a vault door). In this case, a large HE bomb on the back of a truck could be used to similar effect, and make for an interesting scenario piece!
