This is a very fine project that have going here, sir.
Everything is great but the biggest influence on me at the moment is the shanty town: Nice palette to bring everything together.

Our new Necromunda campaign begins tonight so I can see more new 40k influences on my horizon too shortly.

Howdy! Long time no post on this project. Got some more stuff done to add to the grimdark setting. An Armorcast stucco building conversion and some scatter terrain. More buildings in the pipeline. Busy summer, so never getting as much done as I'd like!

Here's the link and some pics:

Hope you enjoy!

Those barrels! How did you the dirt-band-rust effect? It's wonderful!

Thanks! I cut the lid off the GW barrels to make them open. Then I used the new GW Typhus Corrosion effect paint to get the rusted texture. After that I base coated them with Krylon flat camo brown. Then I drybrushed the rust a mid brown followed by that bright rust orange color.

Hope that helps. I really like the Typhus Corrosion paint. I know I'm going to be using it for all kinds of stuff.

I never heard  about it by now, bit I'll take a look. Thank you for the tip (and keep on sharing!)

This looks great, it reminds me of the terrain from the Inquisitor rulebook, which is no bad thing!

Thanks guys! I always loved the Inquisitor terrain and some of that and the new Rogue Trader RPG material has been in the back of my mind to create this terrain. I liked how Inquisitor took place in the inhabited parts of the Imperium, not just the ruined battlefields of the grim dark. I want to create lots more terrain that serves a purpose and populate my Rogue Trader style games with civilians, workers, rioters, rebels, etc.

I am finishing up two more tonight. Pics to follow...

Howdy again,

I finished up two more of the Armorcast buildings. Here they are on the blog:

Cool buildings. Simple, gameable, with character. What is this Typhus Corrosion of which you speak?

Typhus Corrosion is a new GW special effect paint. Basically, it's a dark brown with a slight grit to it that makes a good basis for rusted metal texture. I like it. I don't use it on the buildings as I think it is too subtle for that (I just let the colors do the talking on the buildings). But it is good to use on details like the barrels.

Just finished up some more of my Mantis Warriors Badab War HQ. I put off painting the company banner for some time because it had been a while since I had done anything freehand (as in years). But, it wasn't going to paint itself, so I dove in. I hope you like the old school updated feel of the project. The Badab War project marches on...

Simply stunning! I couldn't even hope to get near that with my old eyes and arthritic hands now, and even when I was younger and more foolhardy I would have been hardpressed to match your standard bearer for the sheer level of detailing. Excellent work! Makes me nostalgic for doing some beakie Mantis Warriors even though I know I'd never get within a thousand parsecs of your level of finish! Yow! :o 8)
