Necromunda The ClockworkOrange Troll Lol Lol Lol Song

I’ve had worse Tribemeet paint queues 🫣


Warning a bit long, static in places and silent but it’s what works best on the Holo fan. Black backgrounds aren’t coloured in with it hence the style. Some of the videos were nicked from Zebamunda on YouTube with his kind permission.

This is the combined video each individual segment needs to be sized correctly and uploaded. A mild ball ache!

All working just needs paint now.

 
Spot of speed Grox painting…the cheap watered down black acrylic paint stoped play tonight seems to be taking ages to dry.



Can only be viewed on the table and not picked up for fear of ruining the illusion that these are painted models 🤣 needs must time is short.
 
Meh the AK Concrete paste I’ve got has dried in the pot. Now I really like this stuff, I’ve covered a lot of the ‘CUBE with it. It’s also fecking expensive and I’m not buying another pot just for the Holo fan wall!

Fortunately because it’s a bitch to apply I got two pots of emulsion colour matched at B&Q for fine detail. I’ve therefore had a go at making my own with fine sand, stuck on with PVA, and then painted with two thick overcoats of the emulsion. Seems to have worked, in fact it’s worked so well, I think I’ll be doing all concrete like this in future! Fingers crossed it doesn’t stand out next to the rest of the ‘CUBE…..

Just base effects so far, as per standard any mistakes will be covered over with grafitti, posters and weathering.

That concrete texture looks excellent! I checked out some of that AK concrete texture, and it really looks like repackaged concrete patch (which I don't think is readily available in Old Blighty) with a massive price markup. Of course sand+PVA+cheap paint is even better than that!
 
@Mr. M thanks. I’ve never got it to look right before, I think because I was mixing the sand in with the paint rather than sticking it on first but the end result of that never had enough texture.

It’s also really fine sand which I’ve never had before as daft as that sounds. The failed match Geek Gaming Desert Sand project did have a purpose after all 🤣

Polyfilla (the powder version you add water to yourself) with fine sand mixed into it gives a good concrete texture as well, and it sticks to most hobby substrates. Added bonus if you paint it when slightly wet - it'll do that patchy white thing where some of the plaster leeches through the paint. Just like old water affected concrete.

Concrete/cement textures is one of those things where you can buy 25 grams of the hobby version for a tenner, or 25kg of the real life version for a tenner, and the result is basically the same.
 
Using substandard materials to save cash and make the developer a lovely juicy profit certainly sounds like something the Troll would be involved in on a professional level, but alas, it wasn’t me your honour! @Tiny

Imperial OSHA Inspector: "So those are specifically designed to catch and chop to bits anyone who gets close to them?"
THUNDERCUBE Manager: "Yeah!"
Inspector: "Seems dangerous. Needs Mechanicus approved hazard striping. It's mandatory."
Manager: "But they won't be any less dangerous and you won't see the stripes when they're spinning."
Inspector: "Irrelevant. Mandatory."
Manager: "And once we have stripes we're good to go?"
Inspector: "Of course! Nothing wrong here at all after that!"
 
“…when they go to turn the holofan on and off, they use that little console at the back?”

“Yes”

“Better put some hazard stripes on there to make sure they can see the blade”

“I don’t think you can see it when it’s spinning Sir?”

“Put. Some. Hazard. Stripes. On. It”
