So I started my first thread here:
Necromunda Gaming Board Build
Which is my desire to create my own Underhive board, complete with all the bells and whistles, the best carefully painted terrain I can come up with. And I’m thinking lights, LCD screens, resin pours etc. Very much for me to have a few of the boys around, maybe set it up in the garage and leave it for an extended campaign.
I actually played my first game of Necromunda at the end of May, and the first time I’ve played any GW game since I was about 15 (I’m 42). Really pleased with that, and if anything it’s only given me more determination to build, and paint etc. Thanks in no small part to this community too.
Now I want to make that experience better. I want a way to carry a decent set of terrain, rules, tokens, cards and miniatures etc, throw it in my car and do it again after work with my friends. I’ll still come back to my own home board in future.
Companies like Feldherr make specific cases for just this purpose. I had a good look at those, but they just don’t seem to be what I want (and maybe they are, but I just don’t realise it yet). So I’m going to put together my own. Let’s see just how much of the Underhive we can put in a backpack, and maybe this helps some of you thinking about the same thing.
So I bought this backpack:
Backpack
Its a camera case, you can take out all the internal dividers. Nice big space, although the “hard shell” is a bit less hard than I would like.
I then bought these dividers:
Dividers
These are fairly soft, help protect paintwork. They‘re also modular so I can choose what I want to take.
Now that tripod holder on the side is crying out for a gaming mat tube. So I bought some down pipe from Screwfix and made a storage tube. I’ve uploaded the design here if anyone wants to do the same:
Wargaming Mat Storage Tube
I actually picked up a nice second hand copy of Underhive on eBay, that gives me some doors and more barricades. I also really like the walkways and pipes set set from Tesseracts Tomb:
Tesseracts Tomb
Getting there. We don’t have much time to get out and play after work, so keeping a little set in the car or ready to go seems like a sound plan!
