The Rust Pit

May 2020·pp. 58–61

THE SHORT VERSION

James Acons builds a sprawling Necromunda table from modular base boards and layers of industrial kits, recycled objects and connecting walkways. Textured rust, mixed metallics and blue object-source lighting suggest an underhive dome awakening, while the construction keeps every level accessible and allows the scenery to be rearranged for play.

Imperial Hive Worlds

Hive-world armies draw on overcrowded industrial cities whose inhabitants are accustomed to danger and deprivation. The article connects gang equipment, hazard markings and worn colours to Imperial recruits and cultists, then uses contrasting accent colours to keep dark underhive schemes readable on individual models.

Hive Worlds: Converting Your Models

Compact weapons, extra protection and scavenged equipment give warriors a believable role in cramped industrial fighting. Examples include dynamically posed Ork infiltrators, John Bell’s close-combat Genestealer Cult and a mixed-kit underhive band, illustrating how conversions and subdued paintwork can communicate a shared environment.
