Looking pretty awesome.

I like that you sort of signed your work! and very stylish at that too...!

only one small issue I have atm... the small blue and yellow square signs on the walls, those with numbers...? they could benefit from a wash and some weathering... atm they look way too neat...

Looking good.

I cannot wait to see pictures of the groups fighting over this. The four groups sound good, always like to see Rogue Traders and Mechanicus goodies.

The chapel is really cool and gory. It's look a little bit like "Silent Hill" or "The Thing". I imagine how a red pyramid is comming out of the doors.

@ Viktor von Domm - the signs can indeed use a wash

@ Logan - There will be something much worse than pyramid head comming through those doors...trust me

@ PDH - I know you want to see some models, so here you go.

My warband sofar.

- Inquisitor Atticus Stanz of the Ordo Hereticus.



His laspistol will be changed and i need to change the look of his legs, to make it look like he isn't wearing power armor.

- Preacher Jakob Veatch.




Weapon needs to be modified and a cc weapon needs to be added.

- Clovis.




They are all still very wip, mouldlines need to be removed, details refined etc. and ofcourse a backstory (which exists in my head only atm).
Also i need to add a 4th character, but for now i have no idea what to add.
The other warbands i'll posts when i have the oppertunity to take some pictures of them.


Take care.

Hmm, perhaps it could be human sized power armour (does give you a reason to make true scale Astartes). Also, you might want to convert those legs a bit, make the armour look more ornate.

This looks wonderful! Just curious, have you listened to the Ciaphas Cane audio drama "Dead in the Water"? This chapel looks exactly like the description of one within the audio drama.

I never listened to it, but it sounds intresting. I may have to ask my friend if he listened to it, since he came up with the idea of the Chapel.

@ Malika2 - Make it more ornate, that's what i had in mind, since the models can't wear power armor or use powerfists.

I made some removable vending machines for decoration or to be used as barricades/los blockers.




Take care.

What about adding an Astropathic Choir chamber in there? Have some dead astropaths laying around...

Nifty impressive use of the grave cart bodies. The chapel definitely looks like something nastys happened probably involving those chaos scamps

@ Malika2 - No more rooms with dead people are planned for now The entrance/courtyard is almost finished, after that i'll probably start on either the processing chamber or on a landing platform just outside the complex, carved into the the side of the mountain. (since the complex is based at the base of the largest mountain on the planet we are playing on).

@ Llamahead - Thanks ...when a scene like that happens, people usually asume chaos is involved...but if that's true in this case...hmmm. The truth will reveal itself one of these days

Updates have been a bit slow as RL has been interfering...in a good way for a change. I'll post an update soon.


Take care.

Great finally get to see the models.

Inquisitor Atticus Stanz of the Ordo Hereticus. Do you know what philosophy he is going to be following? Nice model for a wizened old Inquisitor. I think he should keep his laspistol. I agree that the legs need to be de-power armoured. High elf legs or chaos cultist legs would probably work.

Preacher Jakob Veatch. He is great. I so like the pose and the change you have made to the bolt pistol.

Clovis. Cool, it all looks good but I think perhaps his head needs a bit more integration.

The rest of the base sounds good. It shows your depth of detail for the building - the landing pad as well as the entrance.

Fair enough about the corpses, but you'd still need an astropathic choir!

I wholeheartedly agree with Malika.

@ PDH - Sofar i know the Inquisitor will be a bitter, grumpy old bastard. Still need to work out all the character backgrounds. Since i will be the GM on this story. Atticus Stanz and his retinue will be npc characters. Might be a bit of a shame, but someone has to do the dirty job of GM- ing , and if that means my retinue will be played with or against sparcely...so be it, aslong as the others have a good time, i'll be satisfied aswell

@ Malika2 - Argh...i'll look into it, maybe for a future room.


Here is a picture of the first door i have made for closing the entrance/courtyard. 5 intact doors will be made and 2 "blasted/welded/ripped" open doors.

Front and back.



The entrance/courtyard is in PIP, and will be posted soon.


Take care.

What an amazing board! Also looks perfect for games of Zone Mortalis.

Subbed, this project is inspiring.

Thanks guys

So due to some lovely spring weather (read, relentless rain), i was able to get the first part of the entrance/courtyard finished. Some pictures for your viewing pleasures...if all goes well, i'll have the second part finished during the weekend (fingers crossed)...only 6 weeks till the holidays, so i better hurry


Entrance 1.















The doors are removable, so we can block certain passages. Players can choose to either override a locked door or try to blow/rip/saw/etc. a door open. I still have to add some door controle panels to the sides tho


Take care.

man this is looking great!

i am glad stumbled upon this you have a very good eye for painting scenary the best i did was make a a tower ooze green stuff. Keep up the awesome work.

any news on the other gangs? and any paint to yours yet

looking forward to more

bama

That is one seriously good looking board you are making there Chelnov. I tried to make some Necromunda terrain a while back for my little gaming group using packaging materials. We played some games on it but it was not what we were looking for.
Where in Holland do you live? If it is not to far away maybe we could play a game or two someday?
I sent you a pm.

Seconded that question... Since my move i have a hard time finding players... 40K they all wanna play, the specialist games not so much...

@ MauS and A Cookbook - I live in Veendam. Our small gaming group constist of 6 people. We used to play 40k but after all the changes in rules, codexes and playingroom space, we decided to do something smaller and more personal. We've played Mordheim for a while, but the 40k environment is more to our liking and after discovering Molotov's http://inq28.blogspot.nl/ and http://s3.zetaboards.com/The_Ammobunker/forum/3012277/ we decided to give it a go.

The Complex is still being worked on, with the last "starting" tile almost finished, and the warbands are mostly pip atm. I will post some pictures of it all after the whole moving house ordeal is over.


Take care.

Wow... this is brilliant! Subbed...

I especially like the chapel, it's incredibly creepy - in a good way, obviously!

Good luck with the moving house thing - I'm looking forward to seeing more!

Great stuff again!

Wish I could find other people to play with around here and build our board, but here looks like to live in the desert

The emergency broadcast beacon is 95% done. Thought i'd post a image here instead of completely threadjacking Brianjc's thread




Take care.

Thats cool, I'd been following that contest, really nice effective bit of "junk" terrain you've cooked up.

so any plans for when your campaign will be kicked off or is it still int he planning stages?

i second noodles with that is a clever piece of terrain does not look like taht was all junk at one point and time great work

Tower is looking good.
Like your board work as well.

Thanks for the comments

So i finally settled into my new home and FINALLY got the almighty internet connection, yay

Work of the rest of the complex has been slow but steady, with the main board's last piece almost finished (i'll post some pics asap).
Meanwhile i took pictures of 2 of my friends initial warbands, which they will be using for the campaign.

First up a squat warband, not named at the moment.



Second, a adeptus mechanicus warband...still pip.



And i have been working on a shuttle, in which the "lucky ones" who will survive will try to escape.





Take care.

Excellent looking shuttle there - reminds me of the Arvus that Forge World make. what are the air intakes for the jet engines made from?

Those squats are awesome!!
