Sci-Fi terrain project is slowly taking shape

I have been slowing working away at some smaller scatter terrain pieces for my sci-fi terrain project. Adding the all the scatter terrain that came with the Necromunda boxed set and added a few extra pieces made up from leftover pieces saved in my bits-box.

Build blocks with various scatter terrain added.

My aim with all this wooden block terrain (see previous posts) is to try and create a multi-level tabletop similar to the original Necromunda set without spending much.

The inspiration for the multi level building blocks

On my to do list of remaining items are the following:

• A few more low walls (you can never have enough cover)
• A large cargo crane (from wood off-cuts)
• A large storage tank (from a large coffee tin)
• Pavements on which to sit the buildings. 

By pavements, I mean grey sheets of MDF board to cover up more of the tabletop which has a tad too much green for an urban setting. Well, for my liking anyway. I will take the opportunity to add some black and yellow hazard lines to introduce more colour to terrain.

The terrain covers a 4x4 foot tabletop

Low wall pieces are added to the tops of buildings and walkways (just need a few more)

If you are wondering which rules I will be using? It's the "One-Hour Skirmish Wargames" by John Lambshead. I have used them previously with a few additional character and weapon rules to reflect the Necromunda setting, and find the rules play fast, are easily remembered, and fun to play. They use playing cards rather than dice which I quite like.

Once I have completed the terrain and possibly a few more figures. A campaign will be setup using the snakes and ladders approach (last used with a Jacobite campaign - see here) which seems most appropriate as the gangs will work their way up the city hive to find riches.
