From Barks: 40K supplies (80 points)

The blessing and curse of GW's 40K terrain is that it is festooned in little grimdark details. You can really go down a rabbithole trying to pick them all out.

I have acquired a few sprues and bits and bobs in the last couple of years, so I assembled them and set to work. I used rattlecan sprays and masking tape for the two-coloured barrels and shipping containers. I sponged on orange and brown, followed by a wash of Woodland Scenics Burnt Umber which gives a wonderful rust effect. Then I picked out a lot of fun details.

Pipes

Crates

Toolbox and fire extinguisher!

Barrels
I really like these next two pieces. I don't know if the first is a comms device or a snack dispenser. I think it is a jukebox- after a long shift in the factory, you can put a credit in and hear some inspiring martial music.

This one is an exterminatus WMD planet-killing bomb, with the timer on 007. This would be a great objective to claim or defend, or just a cool thing your gang found. We don't know what it does, but every now and then the counter ticks over!

The rust trinity
I like the look of these, and was quite happy with how the chipping and weathering came out.

There's 4x Standard Terrain Cubes here, so 80 points.

More importantly:

Skull-o-meter™: 134
Cumulative Skullz: 183

After Paul's last entry, I don't have a chance of victory in our side duel, but I'm not done with skulls yet. I'll go down swinging!

MilesR: These are really very nicely done and I may steal your rust trinity concept. Well Done

  1. Great looking terrain Barks, love the jukebox! The toolbox is also a nice touch. Your time bomb could make a great scenario object - find it and defuse it without blowing your self up.

    1. Or blow it up to sacrifice yourself and the planet but save the sytem?
