Captain Brown Builds Terrain and Old School Necromunda

[Codsticker]

Looks great so far.

[Captain Brown]

Thanks Codsticker,

So the side vent got lots of little additions.


And the other side of the styrene square I cut, adding some Guard bits and a resin base for a more industrial look.


Added a Mark I Rhino hatch as an interior access cover.


If you look at the left of the interior I added the two small reels from the cassette tape as they look like great valve wheels.


A few more bits added above the down pipe.


With the side vent installed.


Ready for painting.

Now with primer.

The primer coat really brings it all together.

[Captain Brown]

Thanks Codsticker,

So first couple of layers of paint and the first varnish so it has some enduring strength when it gets hit with errant dice and to keep the rust powder on. Going to add some more grime and then a matt varnish.

That looks great as is. The rust effect is excellent.

[Captain Brown]

Thanks Codsticker

OK the first dry brush on the ruined buildings.


I think I will do even more and then add some smoke stain effects above the windows.

The Ventilator

That building is coming along.

I think I will do even more and then add some smoke stain effects above the windows.

I think that would look excellent. The oil stains and weathering on the vents look really good and if you did something similar with the building it would tie the two together nicely.

[Captain Brown]

Thanks Codsticker ,

Started on some more scatter terrain, I have two sets of the 3rd edition starter box that need to be remounted on some chip board.

Rough first draft.


Also painted up a pair of old metal Cawdor gangers.





The Red Redemption continues to recruit more members.

Ah... the olden days...

[Colonel Jacka]

Metal figures your got to love them.

[Captain Brown]

Thanks Codsticker and Colonel Jacka,

While I never purchased the starter box in that edition, either through trades or exchanges with my gaming group I have several, so here are two of them getting some love after years and years of sitting as primed plastic.



My main goal as I glued on the rubble was making certain the Chip Board base stays completely flat.


So no showers of glue to secure them down...epoxy for the larger pieces.

[Captain Brown]

Finalized another 3 metal Escher gangers. This time with red hair to contrast the blue and purple.

The 7 now finished. 8 More to go.

Seeing them together, I need to use another brown on the bottom of the bases to match.

Now I want to decide what I am going to build with this water filter. I need to get the charcoal out of it as it is pretty heavy. But I think it would make a great part of a small power plant or manufactorium.

Now the two pieces with sand added, again small amounts at a time to use a small amount of glue and keep the Chip Bard flat.


Then the paint.




Side by side.

Remember sprue rubble, well I have used it here...with some real small stones, sand and a few pieces of plastic to add detail.

Top down with some models.

Side view, you can see it is high enough for cover...which in Necromunda is line of sight...although for a regular 40K game it is large enough to place a squad on for cover.

Looking good mate. I'm in Terrain mode as well.

[Captain Brown]

Thanks Colonel Jacka,

In the meantime I made another pile of scatter.

[Codsticker]

Effective sprue rubble CB- convincingly looks like bricks.

[Captain Brown]

Thank you Codsticker.

Did some more.





And one more set of 3rd Edition Terrain started.

Sprue rubble for the win.
