thenickeninja’s blog is dedicated to wargaming and especially the hobby projects behind. To start with mostly Necromunda terrain but when that´s finished different things will show up. Keep your eyes open!
About me: I’ll keep it shortly, I’m a Swedish hobbyist with variuos interests but mainly wargames and making terrain. Mainly I play Warhammer Fantasy, Blood Bowl, Necromunda and Mordheim as well as some roleplaying games preferably Call of Cthulhu. I have also a not so uncomman fascination for old wars and probably you might see some of that here as well.

Hi NickeNinja! I love your Necromunda blog and terrain. Real inspiration for our own games here in Los Angeles. Keep up the great work
Thanks alot Hartman! Always fun to inspire! Appreciate your feedback very much 🙂
Hi, me and a group of friends are thinking of making a similar game board to your abandoned city. Could you give any advice? thanks
Hi! Awesome! 1. Get a lot of old computers, printers and gadgets with fans inside. You can get it from schools, companies or just going to the toxic wastes 😉 2. Use some kind of heavy tiles as bases. I used some cheap bathroom tiles. Glue everything onto it and the weight will make it stable. 3. Use an airbrush, spraygun or just spray cans to cover most big areas and to get the shading. It will help getting the dusty look as well. 4. Most important, make sure you can actually reach all floors with your hands. Don’t make any loose roof solutions. It’s very clumsy when models are on the roof and you want to move models inside.
Don’t hesitate to ask more if there’s something more you want to know. I made some tutorials as well here on the blog.
Cheers

Thanks.
Out of interest, where are the tutorials?
Hi again, what is the varnish you use? Thanks.
I don’t use any varnish at all actually. Maybe I should 🙂
So do you use a gloss paint. PS I varnish my models and it’s very effective, not only to protect, but it adds more detail.
When I paint my Empire army I use a very glossy dip. I’ve bought some satin varnish for future projects 🙂
What do you think of the varnish? I use gloss, and I think it really brings out the details.
I would definitely go for satin. But it’s totally a matter of taste. I agree that gloss varnish brings out the details but in my opinion it’s too glossy!
Fair
Where are you guys from?
Gothenburg, Sweden. Is it close?
Not really 🙂 We sit in Germany
Haha! It’s quite a way just to play a game of necromunda 🙂
it sure is 😉
I’ve just discovered this blog. You’ve done some incredible work on here. The Necromunda stuff, in particular, is right up my unlit, graffiti-covered alley.
That description totally made my day 🙂 Thanks and I appreciate that you enjoy it!
