The Place For Model Terrain.

Small packing cases and supplies stashes are very useful pieces
of terrain. They can be the focus of a take and hold mission or
just add a bit of cover and realism to an otherwise open space. |
Materials
- I make my supplies stashes out of electrical components salvaged
from dead circuit boards. You will find capacitors that look like
storage drums, transformers that are plain box shapes and all manner
of gadets and bits and pieces. Just be sure the circuit board is
totally dead before touching it.
- Thick card, such as picture mount card (ask a picture framing shop
for off cuts)
- For Necromunda some yellow and black 'necro-style' stripes - cut
strips from your gang box or print some out on a colour printer
Method
- Cut the card to the size of stash or hoard you want.
- Glue the bits and pieces you have collected onto the card with
super glue
- Spray the whole thing black
- Paint the boxes and containers in dull colours and highlight the
corners. Use Imperial decals for labels, or draw some in a graphics
program and stick them on
- Tidy up the cardboard base with black paint
- Glue a band of black and yellow stripes around the base as a
border
