I've been working on quite a few wargaming bits this spring, but haven't finished much of it yet, hence the lack of posts recently. However, today I finished this piece of scenery for Necromunda / 'Inquisimunda' - an atmosphere processor; or maybe a large water still for Underhive gangs to fight over? This is a 3-piece resin model from Fenris Games. It's chunky & durable, with great detailing. The sections only needed minimal filing to remove some air bubble bumps to allow them to stack neatly. [Top tip for those new to resin pieces: a quick wash in soapy water removes residue left over from the casting, which will improve the adherence of the paint].
I mounted it on a disposable 'raft' left over from a 3D-print job, which I think makes for an excellent metal grille effect. I'm considering strengthening this base with a card disc underneath too, as the raft is slightly brittle. A couple small pieces of rubble were added to tie the piece in with the rest of my ruined Underhive terrain, but I painted this atmopshere processor in a slightly better state of repair than my usual corroded & rusty scenery. It had been a while since I'd tried painting the classic 'gem' effect on a miniature, but I'm really pleased how the indicator lights turned out on this - I think they help bring the machinery to life ( +++ALL HAIL THE OMNISSIAH+++ ).
That looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael; I'm happy with how it turned out, but I definitely need to get some more gantry-bearing structures built.
DeleteVery nice! However, where are all the purity seals? A device like this might be slathered with them.
ReplyDeleteHaha, good idea, I hadn't thought of that. Although I reason as this will mostly see use as Underhive scenery, it'd be situated far from the attentions of the Adeptus Mechanicus. It might even be a relic from the early colonisation of the hive world. Also, keeping it more generic allows me to use it as scenery for my Demiurg miners.
DeleteI really like the idea of adding purity seals to some machinery though, thanks.
Very nice- the raft is a clever addition.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Barks. I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to useful-looking bits like that; but it's very satisfying when you find the perfect use for them!
