Does anybody know of a good source that sells 28mm scale cages big enough to hold dog sized rats?

I've gone and done a rat catcher / trapper (you need to get the meat and more importantly the snakes somewhere after all) for my town and she's getting a container of her own, though to make it look good it would need a few cages.

Rickety cages are what wooden coffee stirrers are made for

Is there a cafe nearby that you can grab a handful from?

Failing that wooden tooth picks are great, or if your still stuck sprue!

I'll look into that, I'm not much of a bestest scratchbuilder myself, so I was hoping for some company to help an idiot out.

Wood is a material I want to avoid the most though, unless trees of some sort do happen to grow in the Underhive alongside the Brain Leaf and Wire Weed.

Good point on the wood. I've been avoiding it myself for same reason

Alternatives would be to pick up auto filler mesh and fold it I to a box, or pick up some rectangular plastic rod as an stirrer replacement.

My progress. Pretty tedious, as you might imagine. Gonna do some green stuff push molds for details like vents.

Wow, those are looking really good. TTCombat do a really nice resin vent set for additional details and I see that Zinge does an eclectic mix of lights and sirens and stuff. How busy are you planning on making the walls?

Lord_blackfang, its looking very good. I'm really impressed you're able to keep it so regular and properly lined up. Are you using interior supports for the plasticard?

I do wonder how long it'll be until FW twig on and release their own wall sections!

Oh, are the ZM wall moulded on the Base plate? Seems like a waste.

Bartertown W.I.P.

Wow. A lot going on in that and all of it amazing. Thanks for sharing

Well done kendoka !

That's an exalt right there

Looks like it'd be a nightmare to play on.

How modular is it?

It is surprisingly easy to play on.
Tried my best to have gameplay in mind while designing it.
We play a whole campaign on this + a similar board (placed together and rotated to create different setups).
The hardest is determining LOS in the middle of the board - but I guess it is so for most complex, multi-level boards?.

Not that modular - although there are some buildings, containers, trains, ladders, platforms, etc. that are (re)movable.

Thank you. Actually no, these are pretty sturdy boxes all by themselves. Could easily support a 3D board on top of the walls, too.

Final for the first style. There will be at least two more.

Brain fart time. What about cupcake stands?

Check this beauty out.

Lord_blackflag i’m Very impressed by now neatly you cut out that plastic card - props


Flinty I think that cake stand would be better Eldar necromunda terrain

Looks like a new Terrain KS for Necromunda suitable terrain.

Yeah but it's just for 3d files to enable you to print your own. Not terribly useful yet. People that have 3d printers can probably do their own walls easily anyway...

That is a terrifyingly low quality looking KS, the designs on paper and the actual 3D designs look insanely amateur... I don't mean to be cruel or anything but it looks like a kids work.

Finally managed to finish my terrain board, separate thread:
https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/748920.page#9791265

Sneakpeak:

Nice. The paint job looks good.

Just finished my Rhino cargo hauler myself (choice of crane or heavy stubber turret). Needs paint next.

That's a heavy conversion, you got some skill! What is this used for, making custom vehicle rules for it?

Thanks. It was a tricky but rewarding build.

I was mainly planning on just using it as scatter terrain. Possibly associated with my chem lab scenery, or just on its own. There has been lots of speculation about vehicle rules in Necromunda for ash waste encounters so I thought I might do a vehicle as well as static industrial kit.

I could also put the gun turret on it and make it a hackable support weapon as a objective.

That stand is pretty awesome. Add some ladders any you are good to go. And dammit, is available on Amazon US.

Of course the Alice theme immediately suggests a new mixed gang... Alice: Escher, Tweedledum and Tweedledee: Goliaths, Cheshire Cat: Delaque, Queen of Hearts: Escher?. Plenty of other characters wot work with: White Rabbit, Mad Hatter, March Hare, Dormouse, Caterpillar and more. Could easily be a fantastical grimdark Inq28 gang...
