Trygon Tunnel

[azazel70820]

Question. I want a tunnel to put down on the board to mark during the games. I cant model it. I suck at that stuff. But i do have money. So, any idea where I could buy this or get someone to make it for me?

Thanks for the help

use a penny. or a die. or a booger. doesn't matter, it's just a marker and doesn't do anything other than hold a spot on the table.

GW used to make the things. I thought every 'nid player had a few laying around. My biggest issue with Trygon tunnels is that they never work right. Usually my Trygon winds up coming in last.

i think you're thinking of the infestation markers that stealers come with? i've never seen/heard of a trygon tunnel marker and it sure doesn't come with the kit.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So.....

I meant this:



I think you mean this:



The first one I use for my tunnels. The second one would work fine too.

[gigasnail]

top one was from the heroquest stuff iirc. bottom one is the genestealer infestation marker.

You could use GW Quake cannon craters if you have lots of money. I turned mine into Digestion pools though:

Or the craters should work...

[monkeychuka]

They don't stock the Moonscape craters anymore, which is a shame. The Quake Cannon ones are very good imho but you'll probably want to use them as area terrain to be honest. I just wanted to show off my digestion pools

The first image that MattBlowers posted is actually a hive marker from the Macragge set from 4th edition. I have one and when I briefly thought I might want to use the Trygon tunnel that is what I intended to use for it. You can probably find an old Macragge set for around $100.

I'd use a CD as a base.. put a coat of something that bounds to it good (maybe someone knows what here) mix some sand with 50/50 elmer's glue and water and form it up around the sides and BOOM crater hole thing..after its painted i mean. It doesn't matter the size of the marker because you measure from the center of the marker for model placement.

[gigasnail]

that's why it's better to use a die or a coin or something small. a CD all based up looks nice. now use it on the table, in terrain. not so practical.

But it looks cool... and looks more like a 'tunnel' than a coin will. Just need to count it as 'clear' and no cover saves provided.
Make sure the center is marked somehow, and add some rippers or gaunts in just to make it look better...

[gigasnail]

no no, i mean, put one of those big counters (like made from a CD) into some terrain that isn't a felt hill. it'll get in the way, quick.

i know it looks cool, never argued that!

Grab a CD. Spray it black. Cover it in some glue. Sprinkle sand and rocks and bits of rubble around the edges, and build it up into a ridge. Leave the middle kind of "crater-y". Paint it black, or whatever. Drybrush brown onto the sand.

Now you have a crater marker, AND a Trygon Tunnel.
