Going to try out the new edition of Necromunda with my stepson, for now I figure we can scratch up some terrain ourselves rather than shelling out on official kits. What started as a simple box/bridge/staircase has rapidly become a fun evening event for me as a way to unwind! Especially proud of the legs & ladders on that watchtower, and the split spiral staircase with two landings and through-connection. All made with biscuits boxes, toilet rolls and pritt-stick (aside from the old sprue for the bridge). Will focus on a ton more simple boxes/walls for now to help make some more modularity, but any suggestions for what I should make next welcome!

Oh and the bar at the top right, the wonky tower is purposeful. Every Underhive sector needs a bar, ours is to be called "The Tilted Spire". Need to make some bottles for the counter, and some bar stools to scatter around!

I seem to have a habit of storming forwards with my T'au and ending up at short range, so hopefully these boyz will work better for that!

Pictured are one of my homebuilt Megabommers, a Flyin' Fortress in the middle (see the Lexicanum), and a "Stelf Fighta" (not basecoated yet will be purple, has a pair of 'eavy bombs, a pair of regular bombs and Stealth (-2), but no extra guns or rokkits and costs a bit more) on the right.

So I build a Marauder Nightstalker with the Volcano Cannon from a Reaver (go read Interceptor City, it's *so good*), and it got me thinking - the Thunderbolt is to the Marauder as the Warhound is to the Reaver, right?

I've not glued this Thunderbolt's halves together yet, and looking at spare Warhound guns gives me a few... ideas, for swappable weapons. Should be very trivial to create a "Duskstalker" ("Litestalker"? "Dawnstalker"?) with a few options, Inferno Gun for ground attack being a stupid but fun proposition (and not without IRL precedent). Seems like something a desperate Engineer might do, especially given the success of the Nightstalker. Or a mad Mek, if they're looting things. Remove the Lascannons from the stat-block (wiring stripped out to make space but barrels left fitted), no ability to take extra weapons, and limited Ammo for the big gun?

One final thought: the Warhound has a whole host of weapons available, including the Ursus Claw and Natrix Shock Lance. In this essay I will-

I think the row on the shape indicates how harsh/open the laws are?
