Necromunda/Post Apocalyptic terrain building project : Update 1
Hello fellow wasteland wanderers.
It’s taken a bit longer and we haven’t done as much as I would’ve liked but the first update is here. Other recreational activities have gotten in the way, but I think the stuff we have made so far looks pretty good, and when we have a whole table set out on a desert board I reckon it’ll look pretty damn effective.
Well, lookie who got hold of the camera when I wasn’t looking and thinks he’s really clever. Well your big face in on the interwebz now, smartarse! This is Kris, and I have him to thank for persevering and making me try to use weathering powders, which are just pure awesome.
Barricade
Creator: Andy. Rivets used: 21
Tin Building
Creator: Kris. Rivets used: None! Shocking behavior.
Sludge Pipe
Creator: Kris. Rivets used: 175
Rusty Shack
Creator: Kris. Rivets used: 69 (counted in previous post).
Rocks
Creator: Andy. Rivets used: None, surprisingly. Maybe I should’ve hidden one somewhere.
“R2D2″ Tank
Creator: Andy. Rivets used: None. I made this ages ago for another Necromunda campaign but only just painted it recently. It’s named this way because I think it looks a bit like R2D2.
Gun Shack
Creator: Kris. Rivets used: 49 (counted in a previous post). There’s a crazy amount of detail in this one, even down to the price list which is what the guns actually cost in-game!
Fortress/Encampment Walls
Creator: Andy. Rivets Used: 165 (across these 3 pieces). What I want to do with these is create some modular pieces so whoever is using them can link them together to mark out the out wall of an encampment. I was probably thinking about Mad Max 2 and Waterworld while doing these. The next piece I’m working on for this is a working, moving gateway. I’m pretty happy with how that is turning out so far, but I haven’t got any paint on it yet!
Well I hope you’ve enjoyed that little update. I’ll get you some more pictures just as soon as I have them, though I fear Borderlands 2 is going to kick the crap out of our productivity!
Total Rivet Count: 620

Hi, nice terrain! What are you using as corrugated metal? Is it plasticard? Do you have a link to a site where I can get hold of some by any chance? I’ve been searching everywhere and that stuff looks ace!

Hmn, just tried to comment and it disappeared I think. Anyway, do you have a link to where I can get whatever you’re using as corrugated roofing? I’ve looked all over and that stuff looks ace!

Hello! Thanks for the kind words.
The corrugated card we’ve been using is from Hobbycraft. 3 sheets doesnt sound like a lot but it goes a long way.

I do have some plasticard sheets as well but they are smaller scale and look better on models. I’ve started using that on my Imperial Guard.
