I've often stared longingly at the shopfronts available from Ainsty with an idea to make some 20th Century style buildings for Dr Who gaming. Their sci fi stuff is very nice too but then I'm always a sucker for buying more miniatures instead! About time I looked in to providing them with some habitation and this is very inspirational stuff!Thantsantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902730729032525538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-88002811515368092662020-06-17T12:05:33.017+01:002020-06-17T12:05:33.017+01:00I'm fully hoping and expecting to see a wave o...I'm fully hoping and expecting to see a wave of bulkhead buildings over the next couple of months!

Any tiny detail won't be seen during a game, so there's no value in sticking it on. A couple of large pieces of set-dressing and scatter terrain are about all that's needed I think!<br /><br />The posters are from various sources. There are some decent pdf's you can download, some fan-made and one Imperial-themed sheet that was made available through GW's website a few years back. I also plundered the images from the official Necromunda and Warhammer 40k Facebook pages. There's been quite a few wanted posters and the like that have been used as product teasers. That's where the zoat poster came from :)axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-1919871139104629882020-06-17T11:54:52.232+01:002020-06-17T11:54:52.232+01:00These are so great.
