Placeholder for my build, a place of respite and contemplative rest on an Imperial vessel, now absorbed into a space hulk.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Sounds awesome! Is it intended to be used in a game of Space Hulk?

Yes, it should fit with the other tiles I've made. I will need to double check the larger rooms in the expansions (I think Deathwing or the Campaigns book has some) and hopefully it will be able to stand in for one of those.

Started some layout today. The Space Hulk Campaigns book has an scenario called 'The Chapel' so I'm going to use that as the base board size. I sort of regret going with the 1.5" squares at this point- it makes a flippin' huge layout and takes up too much table space. Cursing GW for upping base sizes ;)



I want to create an altar area and tryptych altarpiece painting, so I'll need to come up with a few extra spaces on the north end. Since this tile is used quite a lot (I think the large rooms were introduced in the Deathwing box, I'll need to dig it out) I'll need to make a normal 'edge' for the altar side, and a more extensive religious looking side so that I can convert the room.

The pews are old Armorcast items, which I have had floating around my work area for at least twenty years. High time they were used.

Today I did some layout of the Hirst Arts castings I have on hand, hoping I wasn't going to need to cast some more. Now that I have two 3D printers this process seems pretty slow and archaic :)

Thanks gents. Had a 'snow day' today, so spent a bit of time gluing components in place.



The altar will be loose, so that I can replace the tile underneath with a standard one, or hide stuff in a compartment underneath.

The center room tile is also removable. I designed a new tile type a few years ago- a grid to hold skulls (in this case, former captains), inspired by the Assassinorum game board.

Finished up the tiles today- pretty much ready for paint now. I added magnets to link up with my corridors, and along the edge so that the room size can be adjusted. There are also magnets for the altarpiece. I'll likely be designing the frame for that in a 3D program.



The skulls have been put into the floor receptacles. After they are painted I'll put a thin piece of clear plastic over them.
