[15mm IABSM]¶
North of Caen¶

I settled for 70.892 Yellow Olive for the support weapons, grenades, binoculars, etc.

The skin was painted 70.815 Basic Skintone.

[Warfork 40,000 - Rogue Confrontation]¶
Trazior Underhive¶

I am quite far with my rules medley "Warfork 40,000 - Rogue Confrontation", a mix of the original Confrontation rules as published in White Dwarf, Stargrunt II (main mechanics), Necromunda (mainly the campaign stuff) and Rogue Trader 40,000. Far enough, that the first play test can happen soon - only over which terrain?

Time to use the plastics from the Maki Games Kickstarter to create parts of Trazior Underhive.

I sorted all the parts and started to remove the flash from the support beams.

Trazior Underhive The whole first batch.

Trazior Underhive The pins fill the complete height of the base plates. I can imagine layouts with walkways on the second story, where I would need to stack two support beam pieces - which would not be possible (see next picture). So I decided to cut the pins down to just below half length. This will lessen their hold, but allow stacking.

Trazior Underhive Top shows the original length pins, which are not stackable; the bottom shows the cut pins which stack nicely.

Trazior Underhive All the work done today. The pile in the lower right is the cut off plastic.

All weapons except the support weapons are painted:

  • Weapon Metal
    • 70.863 Gunmetal Grey

      &

      70.995 German Grey
  • Weapon Wood
    • 70.826 German Camo Medium Brown

British Infantry WWII

The support weapons (PIATs and mortars) as well as all the equipment like grenades, binoculars, radios etc. will be painted green. Searching for the right shade of green I camo across a multitude of descriptions, the colour also seems to has changed during the War. Adding to that the usual wear and tear, bleaching from the sun, field repairs with non-regulation paint etc., I figured any deepish-olivish-greenish shade will do.

I painted 4 testmodels, probably I will take on of the two shades of green on the right.

Ash The chipping medium worked quite well...

Ash ...a little bit of harsh treatment with a brush and the red came off, revealing the metal/rust I painted below.

Ash I then bloddied Ash, applying SWW024 Drying Blood and SWW025 Just Red. In hindsight, it was not a good idea to paint the chainsaw in red, as the blood on the saw is hardly noticable against the saw's own colour...

Ash The black leather parts were drybrushed 70.989 Sky Grey, any buckles etc painted in 71.063 Silver; then both black and silver washed twice with SWW010 Dark Sepia. The hair was drybrushed 70.989 Sky Grey, then washed in SWW013 Algae. The boots were drybrushed in 70.989 Sky Grey.
