<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Inquisitorial palace and some other terrain"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Inquisitorial palace and some other terrain I just wanted to find a place to show off some of the terrain work I've been doing.
The setting is markedly 40k but the table's primary use is necromunda.

All the buildings have standard bays for my interlocking catwalk system. If I get good feedback maybe I'll keep posting progress.
The buildings that are painted were the first ones I made for the set and I'll think you'll see how much I've improved since then. The ones that look speckled have a coat of textured spray paint but still need regular spray paint and normal paint (obviously)

Let me know what you think. Any and all comments/criticisms/recommendations are welcome.









Heres the catwalks and connectors:


And here's the one I just started yesterday



Thanks for looking!

Many of us can't see hosted images from work.

But I like your cathedrals.

Your buildings are VERY well built, but your painting of them is very basic.

Also... you should embellish the large flat areas. Bullet holes, propaganda posters and simple decorations (access panels, etc.) goa long way.

Liking the wings on the last building.

Have you tried Litko with their 'Industrial Tower' and 'Space Corridor' systems?

To the OP that is some really nice looking stuff.
I very much like that they look like buildings rather than the usual abstract collection of walkways.
The paint needs some work as you have said. Would love to see it finished.
Some smaller details, drainpipes, wires, aerials, control panels, rubble, barrels, crates etc would really bring it to life.
Also, oversized stairs make me smile! . This is unmistakeably gaming terrain!!!!
It is possible to make them smaller by building just the treads like fire escape stairs but who needs realism in Necromunda?
Not me that's for sure!

I think it is great stuff. Looks like it could make a really excellent battlefield.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231976/594380.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231976/594380.page GMT Re:Inquisitorial palace and some other terrain ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231976/594401.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231976/594401.page GMT Re:Inquisitorial palace and some other terrain I'm probably going to stick with the oversized stairs, not because I like them per se, I've experimented with smaller ones and various systems to get models to stay in place but ultimately they all just ended in frustration. When theyre one inch deep and flat models stand up and thats what counts. (also having them one inch each makes it really easy to measure movement distances one the way up or down.)

As far as painting is concerned, I absolutely agree with you, my painting needs a lot of work. I like to think I'm better than average on a miniature but when it comes to terrain I get really lazy with the paint. Quite frankly its probably because I enjoy building them so much more. I would really appreciate any painting tips any of you could offer especially for those pesky flat surfaces.

I liked the idea of propoganda posters, I may Print a bunch out on cardstock and throw them all over the place. My buildings do need more of a 3rd dimension as some of you said but I think if you recognized the order in which they were built you'd see that I've been learning that lesson as I go but i've only really been resolving it by layering foam core.

I really need some more recommendations on how to achieve that 3rd dimension though. I have lots of guitar strings, wires and even some thin metal tubing and plastic I-beams. I also have a million bits... (I've been in the hobby on and off since second edtion 40k and I have vehicle and tank pieces all over the place) but I have yet to find a way to put any of these things on buildings in a way that I think looks appropriate.

Thanks again for all the suggestions so far... keep em coming.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231976/594584.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231976/594584.page GMT Inquisitorial palace and some other terrain
I think you need to interior dollhouse decorating though. while the structures are great, they lack depth through the absence of detail.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231976/594679.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231976/594679.page GMT Re:Inquisitorial palace and some other terrain
