After browsing this forum over the last couple fo years and reading through some absolutely brilliant scenery project threads, I thought it was about time I gave making my own Necromunda scenery a go. But where to start and what would I do?
I remembered reading a thread someone had put on Yaktribe about how to roleplay the different houses and, me being an Orlock player at the moment, I followed their advise and binge watched all 7 seasons of Sons of Anarchy to get a feel for how my Orlocks may operate. That's when I had my idea- I was going to build a display board which would represent my ownmotorcycyle gang's clubhouse deep in the underhive. But, I decided to set myself a little bit of a challenge as I don't have much storage space at home so would make it in such a way that it could be incorporated into a gaming board in the future.
So my vision is to have a bar/clubhouse tucked away under some sort of gangway, with a contaienr unit on the premises, which represents a hanger-on taking next at the HQ. I drew on my wife's interior architural knowledge and came up with the basic sketch for my board:
The whole thing will be based on a 2ft x 1ft board, made using modular gaming boards sourced from somewhere, an L-shaped bar main building with a small second storey (I knew I wanted to use the L shaped apartment from Micro Art Sudio's Designed for Infinity range), a coverted Munitorum container/workshop (decided that every gang HQ should have an ammo-jack workshop, plus I love the potential of the container models) and then some of the GW's own industrial scenery in the background.
No sooner had the idea been formulated I purchased what I needed and started to put things together-
The bar has a ground floor:
The board has been assembeld (I went for the 2'x1' gaming board form TTcombat in the end, strenghtened by two straight sections of balsa wood to connect them together)
The ammojack's workshop has also begun to take shape, with a workbench, soem wall mounted custom wepaons and my scratchbuilding pride an joy- a bullet press:
That's been the some of the last month of my life, just hoping now to keep the momentum goigng forward. On the immediate to do list is:
Source some LEDs (I have decided that I want to have a go at puttign lights on the bord- thinking one on the clubhouse and one in the workshop at the moment)
Complete the clubhouse building using what other Infinity building pieces I have
Finish the interior of the workshop- looking to get some crates and bits and pieces to make the board more interesting and realistic- empty shell casing, random junk/salvage
Hopefully I'll be able to up date this log soon, assuming my family, work, life generally, and coronavirus outbreaks permit me!
