Simple Homemade Drop Pods


Now that the drop pod has a normal kit, this project might not be that useful but if you want to make a drop pod battle company for a friendly apoc game it might be helpful. I made up about 10 of these last summer for such a game. Total cost was less than 1 GW pod. I bought a bunch sandcastle molds, drilled vent holes in the top, covered holes with wiremesh, cut the bottem lips off, and spray painted purple to match my army. I just need to get some transfers on them for labels. Simple but about the correct size and excellent line of sight blockers.

  2. Awsome idea! They look really good - Can we see a picture of all 10 of them together with your army? I bet they look cool as a group

  3. Paul, Remember that the rest of the army is not painted other than the 3 tac squads shown yesterday. It would probably ruin the effect.

  4. Like you said, perfect for an Apoc game where you want to drop 10 plus squads.
