Weathering Zone Mortalis/ Necromunda boards.

This video was bourne out of our play group's need for a setting within the Necromunda Universe. We settled on the idea of a dome filled with the sluice of neighboring settlements, suddenly drained by a hive quake shifting things around a bit.

This technique uses real weathering  - real rust, real paint chipping to give the most authentic-looking weathering for this project. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

VOTE - the next paint along miniature, chosen by you.

A pretty picture to start an article is never a bad thing no? 

At the start of the year, we had an idea: what if we had a community poll for a paint-along series? 

Then I contracted covid. 

And the idea had to take a back seat - but it's something I'm keen to introduce into the working nuts of bolts of the courses. So, what are they?
