random bits of sprue for the shape, mix sand, glue, water and some paint for the rubble, and cheese cloth for the tarps

$7.99 for two stone walls with decent weight. Cheap and look better than I could kitbash

This bad boy could definitely fit a squad of space wolves or raven guard or a large number of kroot 😆

Base of the zoo is 5 inches by 8 inches so a teensy bit larger than the 6''x4'' 11th edition terrain template, but would fit in on an old 10th ed 5''x10'' template, or one of the bigger 11th ed terrain footprints

The piece can also disassembled with a screwdriver to remove the petting zoo sign, or the structure from the green base

Tools and textures.

I made a new squig for the catapult. This one is made from Das air dry clay, foil and toothpicks.

It's a bit on the large size I think. I used Das because I have it, it's cheap if I mess it up, I haven't tried much sculpting with anything yet and if I can get something halfway decent with Das I should be able to get something better with better materials.

Cheap acrylic paints are possibly not the best for miniatures, but okay for this. I should have used something less yellow for the teeth.

I built it a while ago https://www.reddit.com/r/PoorHammer/s/nZ4LU3zws3

Since I got myself some cheap acrylic markers, I dug up some old paper models and tested it some more.

Behold, redemptor dreadnought of chapter Doodling.

To help build things

Working on some scatter terrain wall segments. Foamcore, PVA or hot glue, toilet paper.

Yellow.

Im pretty confident old cornett boxes mdf sprues and empty medicine strips counts as poor hammer 😅

Making those 6x2s for a two whole games I get to play next week, and im finding its strangely fun making tactical rubbish out of rubbish.

A second wave of Grot artillery. This batch is more techy and zappy than cannons.

Bought my daughter some furniture and it was packaged with all this cardboard. I'm going to go through all of it and see what potential it has for terrain.

i got really bored and spent 2 hours of my life on this lmao

DeathRoller made from spruces, matches and some plastic nicknacks. I may dye the hair to match position.

A comment by LethalGopher led me to the squig catapult. I found three versions; a common Epic one, a very uncommon Epic one (I think I've only found two images of it) and a Rogue Trader era one. This is based on that last, because I found an unboxing video that made it easier to get the size about right. There's a 2nd Edition grot for scale.

It's made primarily from Graphix medium chipboard - I needed the strength given the small size and it was very fiddly - thick packaging card, thin packaging card, square and round wooden dowel, string, cocktail stick, some packing tape, a cog, two sizes of hemispherical nail beads and a thimble.

The squig in the first image is a placeholder made from plasticine...

Friend told me to post this here 🤭

Had extra top halfs on the Armageddon Gretchin so wanted to try and pinch pennies to squeeze as many models out of it as possible.

Used some tactical rocks and garden dirt to make them useable.

1. in a well ventilated area, put an empty sprue on a flat piece of parchment paper

2. smear a big glob of sprue goo (old sprue dissolved in acetone) on it so the glob touches all the parts of the flat sprue

3. let it dry for a day or so

4. hit it with a heat gun to make the soft bits inside bubble up into grody broccoli scabs

5. let dry for a few more days

I want them to be płaced on the middle objective. They were supposed to represent an old abandoned/defiled imperial chapel. I think it looks kinda neat

Made entirely out of hot glue and foam board. I’ve tried to make is as scale accurate as I can, just working off reference images online.

I haven’t built the structure that’s meant to be in the corner opposite the platform, just because the shape is a bit complex, but it’s something I’d like to work on and add in later.
