Creation of a Homeworld Part 4

Looking for Big Game Rules?  Scroll down.  Thanks!

My friend J (see Apostles of Contagion blog in my blog list) is coming on Sunday for some games.  I'm more than excited.  I've purchased some felt, swept the floor, purchased more lights, and assembled a Leman Russ (pics of that later).  If you've been reading this blog, you might have seen the basement before:

Last summer in my basement...

It looked pretty bleak.  After a good amount of effort, the basement now looks a bit more welcoming.

The basement less than a year later.

The planet JYLN-55 is born.  Discovered, really.  Anyways, those pieces of terrain I had been working on.  I've been sneaking down into the basement late at night and applying coats of paint, crackle sizing, cutting out little signs from catalogs and applying acrylic medium over them to adhere them to the walls.  Its been a ton of fun.

Here's a stroll down JYLN-55's main street.

The Abandoned Imperial Outpost has shown its face in our Arbitrator games.  Its a solid building, made from some sort of cast iron.

This is Power Station 15.  The Power Station is still operational, evidenced by the glowing light inside.  The main body is made from glass, so the lights inside show through.

This is the other side of the station.

This is the gear house:

 Here's a view of the top floor...

A view of the lower floor...

Those who have played Portal should note the instruction on the wall.

This is the SUS, the Satellite Uplink Station.  The inhabitants of JYLN-55

use it to communicate with the satellites that transmit interstellar codes and 

receive information from the Astronomicon. 

The Satellite Uplink Station, SUS for short.

Some Eldar punkers look great in the reflection of the SUS.

Here is a piece of terrain I made a long time ago, it is half of a 2-liter soda bottle coated with matte board and a bunch of bits.  It is my "crashed pulsa rokkit," originally it was a drop-pod for orks when VDR was allowed.  I used a few times in Apocalypse games, but mostly it has collected dust.

Now I can add it to the table collection.  Nice to see it again.

Hey, what's that humming noise?

I'll update about the games when they come.  For now, if you're in Madison, you should come and take some time off and play a game of 40k at my house.
