From Barks: New Necromunda terrain (60 points)

So, I got sucked in by the new Necromunda. The 2017 re-release contains nine 12"x12" double-sided boards with some very evocative artwork. They have walls marked on them, but lack a certain je ne sais quoi. After adding some walls, however:

Can you see the Monstrous theme round tentacle?

At CanCon this year, I picked up the MDF "Sci-fi Undercity Set" from Battlefield Accessories, which just happens to contain enough walls and columns to perfectly fit these card tiles. It contains 26 columns, 25 short walls and 12 medium walls. They're 3" tall. Each wall is made of six pieces of MDF with some light detailing on the ends and top, and two pieces of card panelling which really help them 'pop'. The columns are six pieces of MDF, with a card topper to add some detailing. The walls simply slot against the columns. I assembled them with PVA and the assistance of The Skirt Swisher, then sprayed them black and gave them a light metallic overspray. The magic ingredient is Woodland Scenics Burnt Umber wash, followed by some heavy orange stippling.

MDF sheets- oh, the smell!

I'm really happy with the outcome. The board is much more interesting, and I think it gives a different challenge to the traditional Necromunda of perilous gantryways. The boards can also be offset by 6" for more variety whilst maintaining continuity.

Necromunda also comes with a dozen hasty barricades, which I painted the same way.

Finally, there is an initiative marker which has a Skull-o-meter reading of 1.

As I said, I'm very happy with these. GW has released variant boards with hazardous features, and if I get more walls I can make a 4x4 board. I plan to detail some of the walls with vents, and convert some to rubble. I'm also looking at getting some MDF doors, which I'd love to paint with iconic hazard stripes.

I've conveniently calculated the terrain points for Ray: here they are measuring 12x12x5 of your imperial inches, which, when compared to the Standard Terrain Cube gives 66 points. This may get me perilously close to my target!

Now that is a rather tasty bit of kit Sir!! I don't know a lot about Necromuda ( wasn't they Vin Deisel's pals in the Chronicles of Riddick?) or their terrain, but it does look rather spiffing if you ask me! Love the way you've painted the rust, it looks so effective!!
Top marks all around........and as for the points........I'm not quite sure how you came to 66 points? I made it around 56, so I'll top it up to 60 points for all the effect and excellent looking rust!
