Underhive Growing

Подулье понемногу растет. Забрал очередные пробные куски террейна для нашего клуба.

Первым из очередных ништяков у меня на рабочем столе был сегмент канала, такая урбанистическая речка, длинной 6 дюймов. Т.е. для игрового стола понадобится минимум 8 таких сегментов. Так же планируется сегменты с поворотами, ответвлениями, более широкий мост и, возможно, насосная станция.

Underhive is growing slowly. Got more test pieces for local gaming club.

First I have here a canal segment, a kind of urban river, 6 inches long. For the gaming table we will need at least 8 segments. I got plans on intersection segments, turns, a bigger bridge and possibly a pump station.

Считаю, что урбанистический ландшафт будет незаконченным без всевозможных заборов и стен. По этому поводу заложил составную систему стенок. В принципе, думаю сделать около дюжины секций, и на этом мои изыскания в заборостроении и закончатся. Сомневаюсь, что тут можно придумать что-то еще более оригинальное, чем то что уже сделано.

I believe urban landscape is not full without walls and fences of all sorts. That's why this walls were made. Plan is to make about a dozen straight sections, 1-2 more gates and 2-4 more broken ends. Can imagine something more original that can be done here.

Кое-что я так и не успел закончить до отъезда, а именно здание, которое проспойлерил в предыдущий раз. Торжественно клянусь собрать его и выложить на обозрение.

Something is left unfinished for now. A building that were teased the last time. But I swear i will complete it soon enough.

The Underhive

Иногда я бываю очень одержим определенной "темой". Отсюда и большое количество так и не завершенных проектов в этом блоге. Но некоторые темы цепляют на долго и не хотят отпускать даже через года, то и дело возвращаясь. Одна из них это горячо любимая мной Некромунда, которую мы с Витей Knight'ом опробовали впервые уже больше 10 лет назад. Для нее в различное время было сделано несколько банд, собрано большое количество террейна.

Потому я с большой радостью и энтузиазмом воспринял новости о возрождении культового скирмиша про мрачный мир банд подулья.

Sometimes i can be very obsessive. That explains a lot of unfinished projects over here. But sometimes this obsession carries itself through years. One of them i dear Necromunda, which were first played by me and Viktor a friend of mine over ten years ago. Over a years a few gangs and a number of terrain were made to play this game.

So it was a real joy to hear the news of its resurrection. Cant wait to venture into the deep underhive once more.

Так что определенную часть свободного времени я уделил выкройкам террейна подходящего для мрачных городских улиц сорокового тысячелетия.

So I spent some free time making some terrain suitable for the grim dark city of 40 millennium.

Space Hulk Laser Cut Style

Some grim dark corridors. Supposed to be space hulk style terrain for gaming and roleplaying purposes.

Pocahontas and Hatico

I found few guys in our community willing to play some Necromunda. And as i play mainly Escher i found myself in need to make some female Hired Guns. I was pretty much lucky to find a beautiful Reaper miniature sculpted by Werner Klocke in my bitz box.

Ratskin scout conversion. Her name is Matoaka, and she is only half a ratskin. Her mother was raped in past by a filthy british colonist uphive invader, and gave a birth to a girl. Though Matoaka was raised with all the traditions of her people, there were little that tied her to the tribe after the death of mother.
She started the life of a mercenary, utilizing her knowledge of underhive nature. Eventually she met her father, gathering his scalp and his skull in the process.
Maybe the model don't have all the native american look, but i like the result. The rats from Queek Headtaker base came in handy too.

Thats something i wanted to do for a long time now. A Cybermastiff, based on a conversion i found in the web. I call him Hatico.

More terrain for terrain god! Billboards for Necromunda/Infinity. Gonna make a ladders and maybe lower the railings for a section.

The bad and the ugly

From the very beginning Necromunda wasn't so Warhammerish40k to me. I liked to see it like a "setting in a setting", where all the stuff like xenos, warp and even the Emperor himself does not really matters. All Necromunda was about is gang wars, lone bounty hunters and ordinary people seeking their place in unfriendly and deadly environment of underhive.

And than Borderlands came out. I could not believe how this game resembles Necromunda. The bandits, aggressive wildlife, cities made of trash and "parts that we have around". Since than i can not imagine Necromunda without Borderlands style.

And while playing Borderlands 2 i was inspired to make this guys from some leftover bits.

To the left is some random bandit. Living in ash wastes cost him severe brain damage and a little disfigurement, yet boosted his aggressive nature. By the way, friends call him Freddy.

Right one is a well known pit fighter, turned a well known bounty hunter.

Still need to add some pouches and belts here and there. And maybe ill play some old good Necromunda later this month.
