Field Command - COD strategem extreme!

after BOLS had a thread discussing game expansions, Cities of Death, Apocalypse, Planetstrike. i fetched my Cities of Death book, and quickly remembered my army was supposed to be a cityfighting force, a hard bitten force of urban warfare specialists.
after a good rummage through my massive box of sprues, and a thorough look through the modelling section of the book, i stated to concoct some strategem modelling projects.
this one may have gotten out of hand, but it cerainly struck a chord with me when i saw the vostroyan Command stretegem.

so here it is, a WIP, Command "Key Building" Strategem for Cities of Death.

here you can see the setup without the guys in place. a table, chair, antenae setup and generator

the generator/antenae is looking quite simple at the mo, i want to add a speaker, but not sure where to get one from, i could nick them from vox casters i guess.

the table is really simple, as you can see

The seat is made up from an ejector seat taken from a Forgeworld Lightning fighter (my friend gave me the empty one years ago, i always had a feeling it would end up a field command seat) i figure it would have been found in the rubble and the commander would have laid claim to it.

i leant it up against some sandbags, its how i'd imagine a scratch built command chair

and some minor detailing on the back fleshes out the boring flat bit.

here the crew are shown in place, a commander pointing at a place on the map, steadying himself against the table, and a comms officer checking an auspex.

now for the fun bits!, the table top equipment

firstly, an angle poise desk lamp

made from the new sentinal searchlight, and the head of a spade(shovel) on the tank sprue

and below, the map, aerial photos, letter and "lucky ace - naked lady" cards

i have also made, but not pictured as it would be impossible to make out at the moment, a little stopwatch/compass, i ahvent decided which it will be, but it looks liek a pocket watch at the mo, pictures to come when its finished.

and because this picture dissapeared from mylast post, i thought id tack it on the end here, it shows the Iron halo base used for my vulture gunship.

on this note, i have to go to work, and will pick up my command strategem later on tonight.

im also currently awaiting my next delivery of iron halo bases, which i will be making into objective markers for the calneage tournement - i think they will also double up as COD strategem markers.

Cheers for now
