Again, Tempting as hell. 
Thoughts?
Umm....couldn't help but notice you use OR as though these were mutually exclusive options......
AND works much better I think

Yeah, I'm seriously considering AND. This project, as they are want to do, keeps mutating. But I'd like this to be done, not linger on like many projects I tackle.

Good point, well made
Well..if you paint up your ready plastics to match the old-skool terrain you could count it as finished, then start on replicating in plastic a la Dave as further distraction projects after.....

I'm not sure I want to replicate in plastic. The goal of this board is a highly-portable cityfight board. If you look at most cityfight terrain boards, they are *NOT* portable.
One of the advantages of the old Necromunda terrain is that it DOES disassemble. There's a value, there. The question becomes "what can be done to enhance the terrain?"
Also, when creating a board like this, you start thinking about other design considerations. Fire lanes. Line of sight. 'fairness'.

Replication al la Dave takes a stupid amount of time!
It needs approached for the skill excersize in itself.

Somewhat hard to do modular on a fixed board, with odd template sizes. But it is coming along. The key, I have found, is an understanding of the true need for terrain that blocks LOS. Otherwise, CC armies just DIE.
Automatically Appended Next Post:
So, upon assembling the pile, I find that I am in the possession of both a full set of Necromunda terrain *AND* a full set of the Outlanders terrain. I suspect I'm missing a few bulkheads, but that's trivially easy to fix.
So I'm going to go for it. Breaking out the superglue, going make the buildings a little more robust for the purposes of travel, as well as ease of transport.

More city growth. Necromunda and Outlanders buildings, the Manufactorum gains the second floor walkway, elevated road/piping supports are under construction, and a corner building is mostly complete.
Plastruct trusses are on order, so I can reinforce the necromunda/outlanders terrain.
So far, there will be:
Elevated Road/Pipe (swappable) - Skyshield supports and plasticard
Refinery - Necromunda Terrain
Tank Farm - Containers, piping, and some of my precious Chip Trays
Vehicle depot - Outlanders Terrain
Manufactorum (bombed) - Cityfight Terrain
Habitation Modules (bombed) - Cityfight Terrain
Arbites Precinct - Bastion/Skyshield
If I need more filler, I will use some of the older GW templates, cityfight bitz, and plasticard. Some Pegasus buildings may also appear as money allows.
Progress, click to zoom.

Going to get a couple of small 40K games in this weekend! Here's some more CITYFIGHT goodness.
I only need a few more tiles filled in! I've got the pieces for a 'city park', more statue 'honored imperium' terrain, as well as a crashed aquila lander, to break up some of the open spaces. Finally, I have my eye on some craters.
Almost done!
