Niðavellir Shipyard: June 2014

Niðavellir Shipyard

The Nidavellir Shipyard is a large UCM Shipyard hidden far away from any planetary system.
After the scattering of humans after the first Scourge attack many ships used their ftl drives and made an random Foldspace jump just to get away. Many of this ships found themselves alone in the dark, to close to a star or a black hole and perished but some made it to an empty place in space. And that’s how the Nidavellir belt was discovered. A collection of large rocks, asteroids in different sizes and collection of dust and sand. Exactly how this place come to be, far from any sun, placed in between systems is not known. It is believed it was created after an extremely unlikely collision of two larger celestial body, with no stronger gravity pull in the vicinity this collection of minerals and rocks have held together by their own combined pull of each other. The scatter of large rocks and the natural background radioactivity have created a hiding place. After the survivors made contact with the now formed UCM the area have been put to good use.

Named after the Norse mythology Nidavellir, the world of the dwarves, for its rich mineral and metal resources. Perfectly for foundries and a large shipyard complex.

This is the place to produce ships...

DzC ruins

I tossed together some ruin terrain for Dropzone Commander.

We are going to have a small tournament in DzC this weekend so I thought it was best to add some new terrain to the club.

These were real easy to make and the result is over my expectations, and especially considering how little time they took to make.

I just glued some bits on a base, added sand and then a quick zenith light base priming.
After that some small colour on some of the walls and lastly some tags and other graffiti.

It really don't show any good on any of the pictures but apparently Killroy was there...
