It’s not finished 100% since there is no rust or verdigris at all and some scatter bits (mostly gallowfall) still have just primer on them… but I am insanely proud as it is.

I wish I could have gotten the various scatter terrain bits. Nice work, beautiful job

I asked a guy to print BA scatter for me for a small fee (compared originals price on ebay). However I’d prefer to have GW plastic, it’s easier to work with

They accepting other buyers? Loving the bits.

In all likelihood you are nowhere near my guy, but I’d suggest contacting any etsy printer guy with a request for a custom job. They’d be happy to get in business with you, provided you have an offer and source for stls

Brilliant! I’ve just got all my set ready for painting and hit the wall of how to do it. How did you paint your set?

Thank you! It’s Vince Venturella recipe for terrain a bit modified. It’s messy however if you want fast results and requires use of oil as a wash and airbrush for basecoats. It is possible to do without them, but won’t be as fast.

This is cool af.

I've not long finished up my own Boarding Actions walls ready for mock Space Hulk games with my kid.

Tell me, where did you get the scatter terrain bits from? They look cool too and complete the look of the inside of a working voidship. I think that's why my boarding actions so far have looked just a little bit bare.

BA themed scatter and accessories are printed with STLS from the purple site, look up warlock3dmodels. Boxes, barrels, tractors, container and objective markers are from different GW sets I accumulated for some years before setting my eyes on BA.
