Inq15 Terrain 1

Putting aside the figures for a week, I have been able to make some headway on the terrain, both with the matchbox playset and also all the scatter terrain.

 The main playset has been taken apart and the floor flattened of unwanted molding and  features. plastic grating, plasticard and texture have been added with NoMoreNails. There are some more smaller plasticard squares and then gravel to add. I don't want to add too much so it loses its flexibility or impractical for putting figures on, I also have to be mindful the unit can still fold up and close.




The wall sections have been built using plasticard and Foamcard with the pipes made from cotton buds



The wall shrine is a GS copy taken from a detail on the Promethium Relay Pipes Terrain set




the statue was a GS copy taken from the GW Comms Relay station terrain set


A set of barricades to add more terrain flexibility. Built using lce lolly sticks for the base and then various scraps including Cork, Zoid caps, and plasticard.




The scale metal and plastic barrels are made by thescene (link at the bottom)






Two check points


tables of scrap and archaeotech

Inq15 - Servitor 0137 and Tech Priest Charl 10 Heston

Two more pieces of my Inq15 project, this time an Industrial Servitor and controlling Tech Priest.
I envisage the Servitor randomly moving around the board with random consequences for player interaction or the death of its handler 

Unit is vat bred bulk grafted to reinforced structure. Cranium has been removed and replaced with easy access unit protecting brain and feeding tubes. Proximity whiskers implanted to the back due to the excessive height. Lower legs have been replaced with Electro Mag pillars for stability.




WIP - Based on a 2p, main bodies from Nurge plague Bearer and arm is from Ad Mech destroyer.





0137 designation stencil 



A little This Way Up Tattoo! 


the Tech Priest handler is based on an Alternative Armies HOF Cultist with additional parts made from Plasticard, twisted wire and GS.



The Priest is named Charl 10 Heston as the figure reminded me of Charlton Heston as Moses!







Inq15 so far, time for some of the base and terrain so can at least present them better

Inq15 - Administratum 2

Work on my Inq15 has continued with a lot of work on the scatter terrain which i will post up next.
i have been able to paint up some more of the Administratum war band and the first of an inquisitors war band in the shape of an Imperial Assassin!



As with the first figures, these have been based on pennies with bits and sand added to hide the bases and act as terrain floor
The cultist with shoulder mounted speakers ( the Propagandatron) i have added more directed speakers with wire and Green Stuff


The bell has been added from the GW Flagellants box


The chain gunner has beeb given a backpack and had the ammo chain extended into it.
All of the figures have also had Purity Seals added, theses have been made from Tomato puree tubes foil





The Adminstratum delegation so far
All of these are part of the Alternative Armies Hordes of the Future range


The first of the Inquistorial war band, a Callidus Assassin with transonic sword and Flachette blaster


The figure was original a dark Elf from the Real Partha  Demonworld range. The figure had two swords and i replaced one with a flintlock pistol (Wargames Foundry French Revolutionary mob weapons) and added lock of hair using twisted wire



Inq15 so far

Inq15 - Administratum



A little update on the 15mm Administratum warband I have started putting together, another two figures done as well as a couple of pieces of terrain that could be used as objectives.
In terms of narrative for the group, I have started to sketch them out as as an assessment team sent to tally the Underhive sector for its tithe

Both figures are from the Alternative Armies laserburn range, the first is the ledger bearer who I have added a candle and the second is higher class notary. The original figure had a bishops mitre which i have converted to a full hood, though i might go back and change it to a higher flat top. the original figure had open hands and i have added a skull and holy receipt.





 Two small terrain features, a courtyard monument with posters and a broken icon with purity seals.
the Icon was made with GS using the statue from the Comm relay station.


The terrain features have been a good test run for what the main terrain piece and wall sections will look like.

Inq15 and a return to 15mm!

With all my ongoing and planned projects and attempts to stay focused and not start any more (Gangs  of Rome, Dark Age) a random Charity shop find has kickstarted me into another one, and back into 15mm figures.
The find was a Matchbox Compact pop-up Playset, the Auto Centre and after handing over the princely sum of £1.50 my mind had already started out planning its conversion into a travel Necromunda


The box cover is a card insert so once it is resprayed I am planning on adding some more appropriate Grim dark artwork


No assembly required


My find was missing several of the small scatter terrain pieces and the ramps between each level but these are easily replaced and can add some ladders as well.


plan to remove the foam car wash pieces and replace it with another panel 



Bg enough for 15mm (Ion Age retained Knight shown for scale ) and even more so if i get hold of another one!

With a set of small panels, barricades and some random scatter terrain which should be able to fit in the box as well when closed, it will convert into quite a versatile gaming board

My initial gang choice was for Redemptionists and to use the Cultists from Alternative Armies HOF ( hordes of the Future) range but as i have looked into the project I am leaning more to Inq28 and the figures being a Missionary group

With my first order arriving very soon after it was placed (!) i have started work on the basing the figures on pennies and using the same hive base style as i used on my Confrontation gang. Several of the figures have also be converted, which is certainly a slightly different challenge than modifying figures in 28mm! one advantage is still being able to draw from the Bits box (mainly leftovers from an Empire Flagellants box)

For a test I have started with one of the troopers and also put together  a Servo Skull


Servo skull with candle on head


The only change to the cultist was the addition of a purity seal.




Figures in comparison to a Confrontation Bratt ganger 

While I paint up the first batch of figures I will be working on the scatter terrain and then the main board as well as looking at the best rule set to use and modifying it for 15mm and the Inq28 narrative


First two wall sections
