Terrainfest 2025 - BigGrim returns to Necromunda!

I decided to try the nail art tool I bought for some weathering. It’s a gripper tool that holds wee foam sponge cubes. I distressed the sponge by plucking at it with a pair of sharp needle-nose tweezers. After doing so, I grabbed the sponge in the gripper, and as I was easing it towards the paint, the sponge flew off!

So it turns out, the spring might be too tight? The claws keep pulling in, not stopped by the sponge they hold. In short order, they retract fully, popping the sponge off. Less than ideal. So, until I maybe take it apart and cut down the spring, I had to hold my thumb over the plunger to prevent the claws from 100% retracting. Not terribly useful. As such, I’m not linking them as a useful tool, as I have with certain other things. I might find a better version, but we’ll see.

I added the same black and brown paints we used for the weathering of the Iron Labyrinth to my wet palette. Then, holding the tool in such a way as to hold the plunger down a bit, I dabbed the sponge in the black, wiped the excess off, and applied colour around the various crates. Once dry, I did the same with the brown. I was reasonably happy.

Once the brown had dried, I finished the crates off with gentle dabs of GW Ironbreaker, all around the crates.

I feel these look nice and beat up, grimy and perfect for cover around the filth of the Underhive! Now to finish off the barrels and do the loot crates that can be deployed all around the battlefield.

I have so many more ideas!
