Really nice detailing going on there, top job!!

Moar Pics! The foil effect looks great so far!

You can't get away with one picture! Needs lots more . . . details. . . . close ups

Cheers guys .. i did intend on putting them up .. just takes forever .. posting stuff up and then writing about it.. will do an indepth walk through another time.. dakka resized my 1st pic its huge if you click it.

here are some more wip pics

Egads, man... whatta dump! I love it!!

That sump thing reminds me of the Moby Dick-type *snicker* story in Necromunda, where dudes on skiffs go hunting in the sump for gigantic spider eyes. They pry them off as gems or something... and a big white nigh-indestructible one goes and rips them all to bits...

Either way, great looking sump!

thats soo awsome! but my favorite has got to be that last picture, how did you even make that? its amaazing!

Wow I am really sorry to see what happened to your enormous lasagne.

So this is obviously really cool, I am particularly impressed by your willingness to turn a 4ftx4ft area of your room into the world's most expensive yet disgusting looking table. I always really loved the sewer you made, will that get assimilated into this project?

It reminds me of Doctor Who, some of the names and the idea of people worshipping a tree in a spaceship that eats people. And the name has a real Lovecraftian vibe to it, as does the idea of these inbred mutants, I hope they have the Innsmouth look about them. Great stuff, two of the best possible things to draw parallels to.

A couple of technical questions if I may - how did you even make that water? Is it lots of packs of water effect all congealing in different ways? And what is the board for? I guess for Inquisitor games but is it part of some larger narrative or will it serve multiple roles or what?

Some kind of tutorial for that water would be so so welcome.

Probably THE most convincing water effects ive ever seen, anywhere. It literally looks live you've gone to some overflow of effluvia and taken a picture.

Please please please make a tut!


Youve outdone yourself neil, fantastic work.

That's an amazing effect, not only does it look yuk it also looks deep in parts. I have no idea how you did that, but it's great to know its possible . . . brilliant

First time seeing this thread, have only checked out the water effect and already subbed. Looking forward to going back through the pages. Stunning work, but you already know that since many of the people I have respect for are already offering those praises.

I'll be back for more and looking forward to anything you offer up.

This, exactly.

Man that water is disgusting (in a good way!). I particularly like the brown bit, reminds me something I ate once! Is that FW corridors I spy, I like how you have made them part of the scenery.



Is that... A dead fly I see? (in a spoiler for immense size)

Amazing water!

QQ, what are these?

That's the Forgeworld Zone Mortalis isn't it? Neil has really pulled out all the stops here

Hey folks .. thanks for the support .. its a big project and I have a feeling there will be many lulls in the creative process. so the encouragement is greatly appreciated..

sorry for the brief answers of late .. haven't had the energy for long winded replies.. will sort that out though. and will definitely make tutorial .. If not just so i can recall the process and what not to do again..


@ HF Izanagi that story sounds great .. do you have a link ? sounds like nasusica of the valley of the wind.

@rogue hey mate . its the toilet .. ermm.. its er.. some bits stuck together the cloth is just papertowels dipped in pva . a fe bits of toys stuck together using double tread plate and a few rivets from http://www.antenocitisworkshop.com/
ww2 model jerry cans and bucket , farm toy milk container and the base is from a gw tank / chimera ? not sure picked up a load of roofs cheap on ebay.

more wip pics hear












@Bruticus "Wow I am really sorry to see what happened to your enormous lasagne. " vegetarian lasagne at that

The old sewer/ water treatment works .. has gone to pastures new.. .. both projects taught me quite abit about water effects ,but i still managed not to get the effect i wanted
the innsmouth look great thanks for the heads up .. a cross betwixt orcs and deldar at the moment . but that could change now.

quetion how did you even make that water? Is it lots of packs of water effect all congealing in different ways?

pretty much .. yep . woodland scenic relaistic water over painter liqyuid nails. windosr newton inks some rust effect stuff .bits of snow effect and some oils based stuff too, clear satin varnish.. ( that is actually opaque and craked to buggery and clear gloss varnish that just wont dry plus a gloop of pva.. not what i intended but hey its colourful. will do a tutorial i a bit . but more of a happy accident experiment

what is the board for? I guess for Inquisitor games but is it part of some larger narrative or will it serve multiple roles or what?

a bi annual game of necromunda set aboard ship in the warp.. PDH is bringing his scavvies too

@ Vit Hey mate ,, i do reference effluvia ..as it comes out of my mouth quite often will post up my refence as a mood board in abit along with some kind of list of what i did exactly.. like i said earlier though this is not what i really wanted .. but kinda burnt out with the thing for the moment.

@Hey ash high praise mate .. coming from a veteran builder as yourself cheers mate

@Skalk Hey sub welcome aboard mate.. hope you enjoy the writing as much as the pretties

@whalemusic hey mate .. glad you like .

@CC , hey commander great to see you again.. and yes you get the cookie.. in fact as CC points out this is actually a giant expensive fly catcher .. .. i hate flies .. now i game game on there graves

@Dst Yep forgeworld zone mortalis.. for a change i had a few pennies spare and thought bugger it why not splash out .. its a lovely piece and i wanted it to make a space crusade board .. but then i chopped it up

@ bruticus .. i originally only wanted a small board ,, but then i read that necro is suppsoed to be playe on 4*4 size boards.. and then it started to get pricy.. its all the little bits that add up though to cover the huge playing area as you will know from your own terrain not the actual big pieces, I have found.

hey mate... for once i skip the high praise stuff... what i would like to tell you:

i would really love to see you in that creative feverish moent when you go to town on such a big and cool looking thing...(oh...praise..dang^^)... i would like to see you in that moment... i have a mental image of a weird genuis doc at work... dissecting a brain of some poor soul that got off its coffin just recently... you know that type?... i know i have rather quick flashes of that feelng from time to time... it´s like sex really... everyone wants to have the climax to be as long lasting as it can be... i would love to get my creativity phases longer ...not complaining about the other stuff tho

it was sad to see your old peice of terrain go, but im sure glad it did go because this peice is definatly the best i've seen by you, or any terrain makers here on dakka!

Hey Neil- I tried finding it posted to the net w/o download, but no such luck.

Try this place - http://www.yakromunda.com/index.php?page=library, and scroll down- Left Column, labeled 'The Great White One". This should be it.

Great, great story.

Anywho, can't wait to see more of this place- like Vit, I'm interested to know how you made that sump... it's friggin' nasty looking.

-Remi

wow its just awesome cant wait to see the full finished product.

Ok, I'm sure I read this somewhere, but I have to ask as I'm being blind lols...

But is the Yggdrasillium going to be incorporating a huge tree or not?

being blind isnt funny...

Thats looking amazing so far the water effect is stunning.

ah little orks say everything that need saying.

Roll on gaming....this time I am going to make you learn the rules

The internet man came today and fitted internet in my new place

Breath-taking terrain-building as usual!

I can only agree with what has already been said. Incredible terrain, Neil. All of those details and bits everywhere.

Wait...you chopped up the WHOLE 4x4' ZM board
??

Ahh! I have those Armorcast crate piles too! I LOVE THEM! I have a TON of the old Armorcat pipe-wall sections too, I never figured out what to do with them...

Wait...you chopped up the WHOLE 4x4' ZM board
??

I am so lucky that I get to play on this

I want a bath after seeing this, it looks so dirty and grimy the little living nests are amazing you can actually believe that people are trying to survive on this board .

If you managed to create that effect by mistake, well I say feth up more often great stuff every where you look something else catches your eye, it is more a large diorama rather than a gaming board

Love the conversions as well never considered using Uruk Hai with other heads great call on that, work well as ratskins replacements.

Well, I am totally subbed, this weekend will be back reading this thread

Love the boat with oil drums that really adds to the setting.

It's a shame I didn't see this table earlier! It's probably one of the best necromunda board I've ever seen (and certainly the one I was expecting the most).

(bows) Neil, mes respect Monsieur!

Wow, you built some really cool stuff. I should check this blog more often.
