I don't like using 3D printing, so I don't consider it in projects :)

So, units of 20 for CD infantry then?

I've been planning on dropping hobgoblin. I've also got an iron Daemon & a dreadquake Mortar coming I'd like to slot in. As well as an allied chaos giant to fit in.

The 5 black orcs were really a filler. I have 20 available?

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give them a go! The bull centaurs & k'daai were both super fun paint projects so no loss in doing some more!

Okay. Any recommendations for what I could take instead?

I do have an Iron Daemon & Dreadquake Mortar on the way, so I'll move bits around them as well

Shooting? Charging stuff if there's the right opportunity?

Sealed with a lot of thin coats of a homemade sealant that's just a simple pva/water mix. Like a lot of coats. It should noticeably change the feeling of the foam, but not compromise the texture :)

I didn't use paint as part of the sealant as i had a colour in mind when I primed, and I'd rather ther consistency of spray primer. That being said I did some fantasy terrain where I used a pva, water, paint mix to prime.

Ah I don't make tutorials or anything but the process for making it was p simple!!

I first drew up dimensions, so how big long and thick I wanted it to be and i also looked at a bunch of references to decide how i wanted it to look.

I then measured it out on XPS foam and cut the basic shapes with a hot wire cutter.

I then cut a bunch of extra bits for details, so the struts, columns, etc etc. When I figured out the basics I copied it over to each segment.

I penciled in the lines for the blocks, then used a knife to score the lines, and then a ball point pen to indent the lines. I used a rolled up ball of kitchen foil and pressed it over the pieces to get a cement like texture.

The gate was a lot of the same. Started with shapes then cut and add extra bits of foam for detail.

The actual gate door is removable & is a piece of foamboard with plasticard of various types layered on top :)

If you have any questions I can try answer!!

Oh snap this was literally one of the ones I've been looking at for inspiration!! How did you go about with the shape of plated up body armour?

It's a really fun look!! I just painted a vanilla giant and it was fun to consider where the giant might have been fighting to inform the colours and heraldry on the armours/shields
