About the buildings

I had some problems with the photo publishing tool, so I had to split the pics into three posts.
All the buildings are painted after the same pattern.
The bricks (especially the gaps in between) and all the cracks in the walls were first primed chaos black, then the walls were painted Codex Grey before the bricks and some other parts were drybrushed Fortress Grey. The rooftiles are all painted in Terracotta and washed with Chestnut ink. The blue on all buildings are Enchanted Blue. The wood is Scorched brown, and the wooden platform and the pillars of the watchtower are drybrushed with Vermin brown.
The details on the walls and the roof figures are Shining Gold and the metal is Boltgun metal.
The yellow figures on the blue part of the chapel walls are Bronzed flesh.

The clock on the chapel wall has the mechanics and the spiked rim around it painted Boltgun metal. Again the yellow is Bronzed flesh. For the roman numbers and the handles I wanted to use gold, but gold on a yellow background was very hard to see, so I used Dwarf Bronze instead.

This is a closeup of the tower door. The smudges of Dwarf Bronze under the door ring has been removed now.
The shields over the door is painted in Shining Gold.
Again like the temple, the guard tower is not ment to belong to any specific area of the world, but it is built on the same standard as the towers in the Empire.

In the novels of Terry Pratchett there are mentions of communication towers called Clacks. I have an idea to build some clacks from scratch, and then use them as signal towers and these GW towers as guard towers where troops can be posted.
