To celebrate the forthcoming re-release of the legendary Warhammer 40,000 gang skirmish game Necromunda, I completed this rubble pile that I built from various bits a while ago - perfect for the crumbling urban chaos of the Underhive. I used an old CD as the base, & added chunks of polystyrene textured with coarse paint thickener, Gale Force 9 concrete chunks, plastic lolly sticks as pipes, corrugated card as sheet roofing, plus a spare bit from an Imperial tank sprue, & a metal cable clasp as other junk. Then I added grit using PVA & sand. Only a quick & dirty drybrush paint scheme, but it'll do for tabletop gaming. I added various hints of green-wash in places to suggest grime / slime / pollutants, but maybe it could do with a bit more.
Here is a WIP photo, before I painted this piece >
The Underhive has long been one of my favourite settings - so evocative & full of unexpected variety. I'm looking-forward to adding more urban / industrial scenery to my collection, for Necromunda / Inquisimunda gaming.
That looks superb, love the before shot.

DeleteGreat stuff! I think GW is going to bring lot of old timers back to the fold with the re-release of Necromunda - I'm one of them :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul. I'm looking forward to the new multipart plastics - they will make conversions & upgrades so much easier!
DeleteVery nice, looks great!
ReplyDeleteCheers Phil, I enjoyed making it - nice & messy!
