Yet "another" 2.5D Space hulk project!

[Kallio]

Hello! cardboard newbie here ...Just recently found out that there was a forum for this kind of stuff, so i guess i also might pop something to show here. Im making scifi like rusty, nasty corridors for my spade hulk project. Recently bought loads of orks and genestealers from flea market for a cheap cheap prize of 10 € total (40 orks and 25 genestealers) and thought that it would be fun to have space hulk boardgame (i previously own some SM terminators)

my first attempt was to print the whole boardgame in A4 paper sheet, but it was quite a mess and flimsy, but then i discovered DmScraft and DmGinfos method to make modular boards from cardboard, and well... here we are currently. Big thanks for "inventing" this kind of method of making modular boards. Beacuse of this method i have now 2 dogs, a wife, a huge estate and F40 Ferrari...

ps: sorry for poor english.

Ohh boy its been ages since iv updated anything on here, but theres something to show. Sl-ooow progress made, and have to say im "half-way to finish..." ( well it prolly never ends) ... further saying anything , heres some images of the latest progress. (get bigger image by right clicking image and "view image" for fancy details)...



and a bonus image... i dont really know what to do this with yet. some sort of random encounter (SFX not inculded)

and another bonus... scratch built from paper/cardboard + other electronical wire n trash "generator" ... made 2x of these , 1 painted for now.

2nd Update: Room painted + 2x Crosstiles added. Tried hard to make some differend color variations to tiles and had bad luck (specially that yellowish monstrosity one...) added way too much colors and it looks like dog barf, then went to very simplistic color (the green one) and it got bit comical.. well atleast you learn from your mistakes..hopefully ;P

Thats it for now, slow progress is slow :3


3rd Update: Small update of machine room. Not dead yet on this project, just busy with everything else!

4th Update: Behold the machine god! finished painting machine room + made some corridors, cross sections etc. Bonus image of "action" shots with Mission Bible book and rules. Im trying to gather every mission/campaign available for SH around the net into one book. Image quality is not the best, i had to use my potato camera for this, sorry for that.

Pieces


All pieces glued together


And a top view. bottom "skull" looks like its smudged ,but its not. I used Transparency film "paper" to make it look like there's a glass, and i lightly painted some greasy oil around the grids to get some little detail.


Some basic corridors again. Playing with the colors to get pieces "bit" more variety

"testing" game. Overrunned!

Another angle.


..and a bonus shot of my photoshopped diy books.

Enjoy ... Next time Storage room with conveyor belts and what not + some other.

Cheers!

Brilliant idea to adapt the dungeon building technique to Space Hulk.

It looks like you've had to increase the height of the side walls to accomodate the straws ?

[stroezie]

Cool! Another Space Hulk project.
Love the layering, shows you've put a lot of thought into the construction.
I look forward to seeing the rest of your build.

[Kallio]

No, actually im using 2 layered cardboard, so the side walls are all in the same hight as the other tiles. this is important to have same hight walls when im making the doors later on... straws went perfectly when i removed 2 layers, and left the very thin layer uncontacted at the bottom.
Edit: door concept for now... prolly hits the floor and gets hanging in the air a bit... altough doors could be made easier too ;P

[Kallio]

infact.. thats quite horrid explenation... ill try later better ... thanks stroezie, i checked your 6mm space hulk tiles and they are wicked!

This is awesome. Good construction. Nice, tidy layout that fits together seamlessly. And some very skillful weathering too. Well done all around. Consider yourself Exalted. Great find on the miniatures as well.

I get what you are saying. What I meant was if you were using 2 layers for the side walls, which you are. 

Most 2.5 dungeon stuff usually only goes 1 layer. You went 2 to accomodate the straws.

Awesome stuff! Finally more Sci-Fi-themed tiles, yeah! Karma and likes for you
Btw: Where are you from?

[thedmg]

very cool. I love the pipes under the floor

1st thread Updated with couple pics.

Thank you ... even tho this is my first time painting anything actually. If everything goes well, they should fit "quite" seamessly. i even ordered 300 pieces of blocky magnets from aliexpress to make sure that tiles are getting "sticked" together.

adamsouza
wonder what i was thinking back then when i answered.. but yes they are 2 layered.. didnt even notice first place that sidewalls were supposed to be 1 layered... luckily i didnt use this method, now i should have room to fit pipes inside to the walls to later tiles.

Finnish.. you may notice it from my rally-english texting alíke.
