YakTribe competition entry and general update

Back from holiday update!!!

I finished off painting my Water still for Necromunda

This is for YakTribes competition the thread can be found here

I also got a supply drop! I bought a few things on ebay

A couple of pill containers and a pack of cake pop sticks.

Finished painting a set of counters for Necromunda.

I have: 10 Overwatch, 10 Jammed weapon, 10 Broken, 5 Recharge, 15 Hidden & 20 Loot tokens

The first pill organiser is to hold them

The tokens all snuggled up inside :)

Second pill container will become "Dumpers" for scatter terrain. I saw this idea on a forum Dakka I think it was.

My "to paint" terrain pile...

And as a bonus so nid parts my friend Simon gave me as they are beyond use as a carnafex now.

They will be used in a future project to be revealed another time...

This weeks terrain efforts

Todays terrain making efforts from myself and a couple of the guys in my gaming group. (James and Simon)

Finished up some more tunnel markers, 12 should be enough now. All made from parts from the old space marine rhinos. (With a few ladders added)

I'm planning on entering a few things in YakTribe's latest competition which can be found here

Water still

WIP of the main "ingredients" I chose

Assembled, awaiting painting

These markers will become overwatch tokens, planning on doing my own versions of all the relevant tokens.

Chain link fences. Great for blocking movement while not offering much if any cover

Another stall (similar to gun runners in fallout new vegas)

Boggy Crapper

Simple pipe cover piece

Fungus spores for "The shambler" scenario 

Another Necromunda Terrain update

Spent some more time making terrain

I like this piece lots of places to attach walkways

I put a bunch of junk under the ramp to prevent any chance of models going under.

Rather than use a ladder I mounted a hatch on the side of the tower for access to the top. Its 8 inches from the hatch to the top so it will count as a full run.

Multiple places to put walkways

Another stall for the market, this time a Ramen stand

And a competing food stand with a hinged shutter

Hatch shut

I wanted tunnels to be terrain pieces. I have the idea that with enough of them they can be set up as part of the board when you play and models entering play via a tunnel must set up near them.

Walkways are undercoated and I thought I would show off connecting a few of the terrain pieces so far.

My terrain testing ratskin is there for scale

Lower level connection

Some more barricades and signs. Thinking one might be a bounty board

Stormwall: Assembly and pinning

So I finally picked up a Stormwall. It does need a lot of cleanup before assembly but as it is a center piece model the extra time and effort is not wasted!

Looking at the model I was thinking it would be easier to paint it in sub assemblies, something I have never had to do before.

I was unsure if I should magnetise it and if so how much?

I definitely want to make a good scenic base for it probably involving trench works. Maybe even with places to put some small based models as a decorative touch. With a replaceable plain base to cover the gap.

Ready for assembly

Pods, I drilled out the holes that where filled with flash

Arms pinned at every joint

How I pinned the hip joints

Pinning the hip twice

Torso assembly complete

Torso hip pins, these where a pain to get lined up right but I got there in the end.

I pinned all the storm coils, I really don't want pieces falling off at any point.

Guns added, drilled holes for the big guns too.

Storm coils ready for undercoating

Leg assembly finished and ready for undercoating

Torso ready for painting, masked off pinned areas 

Undercoating done!

First coat of paint on

Started painting up the rest of him. 

I will put up another update about him once have made enough progress to be notable.
