Hello all! :) Well, tomorrow we move back to the UK.  Packing was all going fine last week until we got a booking by a group of gamers wanting to run a Necrumunda campaign! :O  

This created quite a quandry for me - I hadn't actually got any terrain suitable for Necromunda; I had started some urban terrain a while back, but due to our impending (but at the time unconfirmed) return to the UK, I'd kind of lost the motivation oto crack on with it.

So getting this booking was the motivation I needed to get some terrain done - and quick!

Fortunately I had started building and chipping away at some polystyrene ruins, and this is how they looked pre-paint:


To get them painted quick, I basically sprayed them: Black, then Grey then very quickly with white:




But I needed a city/urban board upon which to put them, so over the course of 5 days I came up with this:





The most arduous job was cutting and sticking all the bits of plastic sprue for the curbside and the card for the paving tiles...

...more pics in next post...

But this still wasn't going to be enough! ?So I cracked out the 40k Cities fo Death buildings I'd bought for this endeavour (over 3 Sector boxsets worth) and cracked on with some buildings and ruins:




To get them painted quick I sprayed them like the polystyrene ruins:



But what if someone wants to play a game other than 40k? (Yes, they do exist, apparently! :;): :p :laugh: ) I had started a couple of Industrial structures - I'd got as far as sticking polystyrene packaging to hardboard bases, but the need to get this done before we moved made me hastily finish them off...



I painted them in the same spray method:


So in just 5 days I made a city board and loads of buildings. ?Yeah, I would have liked to have made them more detailed and painted them better, but at least I got these done in time before we moved!




Enjoy all the pics, that's yer lot 'till after I get back to the UK, thanks for looking! :cool:

Have you been speaking to Malchek from the Warseer baords at all?  Those industrial units and ruins look familiar, either that or great terrain building minds think a like.

Awesome and well done!

Impressive terrain, especially when you factor in how quickly you did them.

I love the way polystyrene packaging makes sure good buildings.
Its almost as if it was design primiarily for that reason!
