Space Hulk Nano

Well I've finally done it!

I built myself a complete set off 6mm Space Hulk tiles and airlock doors.

And here they are...

Construction was fairly simple, just granny grating cut to size and glued onto magnetic paper so I can play on a metal surface and things won't slide around.
The little square inset tiles are also made of magnetic paper and as the minis will also be based on the same stuff the whole thing should be pretty stable on the go.

Here's a few pics of the first mission layout to give you an idea what a game would look like.

The minis are place holders untill I recieve my order from Onslaught Miniatures who were kind enough to put together a custom Space hulk pack for me from there awesome Sisterhood and Legion lines.

As these pictures are all a little dark I decided to pop a tile and some doors into my mini lightbox for a clearer look.

And just cause I couldn't resist playing around with them here's some of the airlock doors together with my spaceport terrain.

Now I still need to make some 3D flame tokens and find a nice way to make good looking magnetised blip counters that are easy to pick up and move around, any and all ideas are welcome.

Ok thats it for now, hopefully I'll have some pictures of the painted miniatures for you soon.

Cheers,

Spaceport update.

Here's some pictures of the setup for my first game of  Five Parsecs ftom Home.
I'm still working on some other scatter terrain but I felt the board was filled enough to start to play on it.

I'll start with a pic of the "whole" 9*9 inch board

A few close-ups

I'm hoping to get a game in tomorrow evening, expect an AAR euhh...                 ...soonish ;-))

interior modular scenery

Inspired by Spacejacker's awesome 15mm space station terrain link I decided to see if I couldn't downscale it to 6mm. His favourite material are corck tiles but they are a bit thick for 6mm. so I decided to build mine out of what is fast becoming my favourite material, printable magnetic rubberised paper. You can easily cut it with scissors or a hobby knife, it takes paint well, you can superglue it and it is super durable plus I have tons of the stuff as my wife always brings home the leftovers from work. Leftovers in this case being about 3x3 feet pieces :-))

I made 16 tiles that can be arranged in many different configurations.

Here's an example of a typical 3 by 3 build.

And a blow out of the pieces...

The tiles are all 75mm by 75mm and the walls are 15mm high. The walls are two layers of magnetic sheet glued back to back as are all the details on the floor making every surface magnetic, great for adding removable details later.

Another benefit of magnetic paper, if you base your minis on it too, you can do this...

Helps to keep the other minis in place when I reach in there with my fat fingers to move one of them

The tiles are actually magnetic on both sides so I'm thinking of making a small metal board/carrying tray to make setting them up on easier.

All in all these were so fun, fast and easy to build that I'm already thinking of maybe doing a SpaceHulk travel set or something like it.

Hope you enjoyed it, please leave a comment below.
