Necromunda: The Halls of Hive Primus
Paint brings life.... the paint must flow.
With the test run complete it’s time to add some colour, as much as i love laser cut MDF i doubt it has much of a place in the hive cities of the 41st millennium, the colour scheme needed to be metal, grime, rust and decay but this is just scenery at the end of the day, i didn’t want to spend several weeks painting each cube and square with accurate metal shades and weathering….. so i entered the old “spray can” cheat code.
PlastiKote... not the best or worst spray on the market but for £8 a can it certainly does the job, one can of dark metal, one lighter shade and a can of their rusting effect.
Gave each board and its tiles a blast with the darker shade then lightly dusted with the lighter shade and a small spray of the rust effect, each tile edge was shaded with some army painter ink Strong/Dark tone mixed and the drains were painted up with some rust/gold and silver paint... now we're looking a bit more like the underhive...
The tiles we're designed to be moved about so the different paint effects on each add another level of randomisation and of course set up in whatever configuration I wanted.
The last part was to paint up the construction cubes, one again nothing fancy, spray painted with the lighter metal colour and the bottom edge sprayed with the rust effect, as a final touch i just sponged on some weathering pigments and paints.
One board section set up complete with doors and scenery for effect.
