This thread is awesome, great work. It's nice to see some of the SG stuff get some love. For terrain, I echo those suggesting things to give the scene a more lived-in (or recently-abandonned) look. I'll add my own suggestions as well:

Street furniture - warning signs, rubbish bins, street lights, loudspeaker/ camera masts, pict-screens, that sort of thing.

Flora and fauna - scatter terrain featuring xenofoxes, sump-badgers, dire pigeons or whatever else might be living in an imperial city.

An arbites/enforcers patrol box (optionally painted blue)

Your skin tones are amazing! Man that's some good painting.

Thanks for the very kind words chaps! Also, good ideas for scenery. I have some vending machines and bins on order now. Hopefully they're the right scale!! We'll see in a couple of days when they get here I guess. Warning signs are a fantastic idea. Street lights too. There's always some comedy to be had with street/safety signs. Especially with the 40k mentality.

Also. Fencing. More sections to come!

Very cool. Loving the posters.

EDC

Those fences and posters are really cool. I like the nod towards TWD with the scrawled writing on the door and the chain used to fasten it makes it seem more real.

Cheers guys.

Some more fencing is done but I need to make two more corner sections to finish it off. I've also done/finished some water/fuel tanks. Fable 3 and 40k propaganda posters liberally applied everywhere.

So, a fighting pit?


Or maybe a perimeter fence?



Water/Fuel Towers


I've also received a 1:32 truck. It appeared too small at first so I went ahead and bought (and built) a 1:24 pick up. The 1:24 is far too big to be honest so it looks like I'm going to 40k 'up' the 1:32 truck. Some additional plating, 40k lights and mesh instead of windows should blend it in enough.

That beard poster

Great looking 54mm terrain, lovely to see the big lads rampaging about on it

- Salvage

Right, here's your Christmas update. One more piece of scenery done! This one is a Prospectors store "Scrap n That". Unfortunately the bulb in the 'S' has stopped working so it says something else now. (I got the name for the store from the name of the thread - You got that, right?) Pics aren't great but you get the general idea.








Merry Christmas!!

Ace to see you still chuffing about dude I've been a while XD

Really amazing Borak! I've always neglected scenery over MAWR SOLDIER! :p and its threads like this that make me regret it!

I think 2017 is going to be a scenery year for me. Thanks for the inspiration and have a great Christmas and new year!

Cheers mate. Yeah, I'm still chugging away at the total waste of money that is this hobby Nice to see you back! It's been a long while since I saw you post, although I think it was over on LO I last saw you A scenery year for you? Pretty sure I've just seen your thread about a new guard army.

Scenery has always been neglected with me as well. Which is why I do as much as possible when I have the urge to get some done! Because it usually leaves me for a few years lol. Although I am going to try and finish my Marine over the next few days. He's annoyingly close to being done.

Not a huge update really, just the vending machines are done and the last two corner fence sections. Oh, plus a little building made from actual Games Workshop stuff!!! I had some fun with photo's though











I like this one

Some 'almost done' pics of Banus. Just some finishing touches like finishing some freehand work and maybe adding some heraldry to his right knee pad (scared of ruining that yellow though :S). I also have some censer balls and the like to add to his belt. Still deciding about them though.

Disclaimer: Pics/Colours aren't great due to lighting issues. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it









I'll hopefully get him done this week before/after work. ;D

Very nice. It's a great conversion, the yellow is good and the quartering is crisp but the face is fantastic.

Cheers mate.

Ok, well, he's done then. I still might add some bits later but for now at least he's finished. I went with a dark metal for the 'soft' armour in the joints. I couldn't decide before but settled on a dark metal! Like it?

On to the next project I guess

Very nice work indeed. You have achieved a lovely, warm and crisp yellow there. Turaxa is correct in that the face is fantastically well done.

That's an impressive model, really loving all the little details.

Super impressed with your terrain too, the 'Scrap n that' building (I see what you did there) is especially impressive.

EDC

Very nice work on the marine model. Also really love your terrain. So much detail. Just great stuff. Thanks for sharing!

Can we get a scale shot v your big purple mutant?
He looks great, your stuff really is a joy to look at

Thanks chaps.

Radu, I guess you missed this picture on the 'clave then

Ok chaps, no pics so far. I'm just brain storming. If you were a black legionary on some nefarious mission. What weapons would you have? I kinda like the idea of two swords. But maybe two pistols (although I was saving the Gunfighter for an Aplha Legionary). Or maybe just a Bolter, Pistol and Chainsword? Oh, and what Mark of armour?

I don't want something that will take ages to build (like a power maul). So, Ideas?

A suppressed weapon of some form and a hideously wicked looking knife? I would probably say Mk.IV armour (just because it's my favourite version).

I went with some good old fashioned chain weapons. They're brutal, brutal looking and two of them together look awesome He's not finished yet, I need to add some more gubbinz, make a hilt for one of the chainswords, maybe add some knives and whatever you guys think of.. Anyway......... pics!!

The terrain is looking very good. Are the fences scratch built? How did you do it?

Wow thats very impressive

Nice terrain, especially the posters, but your painting and building skills are impressive!
Is that a lotr troll conversion?

Thanks guys. So no more ideas before he gets sprayed tomorrow? I have added a sword to his belt (right hip) and will find a Knife from somewhere for the other side. I wanted to make him some brutal combat orientated fellow so he has no firearm (just grenades). Not sure about his feet now I look at the pics now....

Illumini: The fences are scratch built. They're simply car body mesh and plasticard strips. There's some WIP pics somewhere here...... a few pages back I think.

B-Tone: Yes mate, that was a LOTR troll. The one that loads the Orc Catapult. I had three of them with the intention of converting them into Isenguard trolls....... It never happened as you can see.

What scale is that guy? Looks really good. As for what else, some sort of trophy beyond the flayed flesh. An enemy helm or weapon would be ace.

Chaos dude us looking brill. I love the make-shift repairs to the back pack exhaust.

EDC

The chaos marine is 54mm scale right? Are those space marine melta bombs on his belt?

I think the temptation here would be to go overboard: if he's on a stealth mission and is CQB oriented, I would suggest a less-is-more approach: what you have there is impressive in and of itself so let the painting do the rest.

You have inspired me!! my terrain is going to be sooo much better because of you. thanks! subbed!
