  1. This project expands upon the imperial bunkers/bastions. You will need four of them for a standard setup. You may build them at the same time as the walls.
  2. Download plans in PDF. Note that they are scaled to be printed on an A3-sized paper sheet and that they are for a single wall section (so you need to have four for a classic castle shape).
  3. Cut appropriate pieces from a cardboard sheet.
  4. Glue the pieces together:

I look at the recently released set of "Citadel Skulls" and use it to convert my Chaos Rhino so that it is full of skulls! Some Chaos Squats manage to photobomb the video. »
