New York, London, Paris, Pripyat...

 This has taken a bit of time to get to this stage.

A Debris of War ventilator is placed above the vehicle bay.

Debris of War sofa and a chair provide some comfortable seating for sentries, a crate is convenient as a table.

A Crooked Dice electrical cabinet and air-conditioner adorn the walls.

The walls and roof were sprayed with Plastikote Rust Effect paint. The interior was sprayed with TTCombat Skeleton Bone. The walls were sprayed with Army Painter Fur Brown. The roof was sprayed with Citadel Chaos Black.

Brick detailing was Vallejo Black Grey, Army Painter Fur Brown, Army Painter Chaotic Red, Army Painter Stone Golem and Army Painter Skeleton Bone from a wet palette. 

The walls were drybrushed with Citadel Golfag Brown.

When Nightmares Come - to Pike's Office

 At Warfare 2024 I bought a number of buildings from Warbases' World War Two range, one of which was Pike's Office. The buildings will be used as an industrial estate for When Nightmares Come.

A Terror checks out the new property.

The building is fairly simple.

The roof (bottom right) will rest on the interior wall panels that provide the window frames and the door.

The interior wall panels (right).

Assembly is straightforward. Remove the base and the four walls from the "sprue" (there are connecting tabs holding the pieces to the "sprue", cut them carefully with a scalpel). Clean up the edges. 

I have a glass plate I use for this sort of thing - not sure where it came from but it provides a flat surface that nothing sticks to.

Get some heavy pots to support the walls during drying.

Apply PVA glue to the edges of the base and the tabs on the edges of the walls. Then with your four hands bring the four walls together making sure they are aligned and vertical. Use the heavy pots to support the walls while they dry.

I used white wood filler to fill in any gaps on the walls and smoothed it off with sandpaper.

I used masking tape to mask the window and door spaces and the rooflights. I used masking tape to secure the interior panels in place and then added the roof. This effectively masks the interior of the building.

The whole exterior was then sprayed with Plastikote Rust effect spray to give it some texture.

Once dry, the tape was removed and the whole building (except the roof) including the interior panels was sprayed with TTCombat Skeleton Bone.

When that was dry, the window frames were masked on the inside and Humbrol 163 Dark Green was sprayed for the window frames and door. 

The rooflights were glued to the roof and a Debris of War bin bag was added. The whole roof given a coat of Citadel Chaos Black spray. 

The brick line was painted with Army Painter Fur Brown.

Now it is awaiting weathering and the brick detailing.

When Nightmares Come and turn the world Upside Down - mass horror

In When Nightmares Come there are four levels of horror - three minion level and one boss type.

Vermin - dangerous to inexperienced Hunters, uses numbers to wear Hunters down.

Horde - more dangerous, but as Hunters gain experience (and upgraded toys) they become less of a threat.

Terror - Dangerous, encountered as Hunters get closer to the centre of the mystery

Atrocity - The Big Boss.

So I have completed two Terrors, two Hordes and three Vermin (left to right).
 

Kate is really not having a good time.

When Nightmares Come and turn the world Upside Down - Terror

These is the penultimate level of Dark Spawn - Terror.

They are more dangerous than Horde, but hopefully the Hunters have gained sufficient experience (and super-shiny toys) to face them.

These are Crooked Dice Creepers 1, two to a pack, each one comprising one body and one head (you can swap the heads between the bodies to produce four different figures).

Once assembled on Renedra 40mm circular bases, half a Zinge Industries Engineering brick was glued to the base and Woodland Scenics fine cinder ballast was applied using PVA. 

The figure was first undercoated with Citadel Chaos Black, then the base painted with Vallejo Flat Earth.
Citadel Rarkath Flesh was applied for the skin, with the mouth being Citadel Mephiston Red.

On the figure with the open mouth, the mouth area was dry brushed with Citadel Terminatus Stone.
The skin is then washed with Citadel Carronburg Crimson (including the mouth).

Kate faces off against a Terror.

When Nightmares Come and turn the world Upside Down - more Vermin

 At the end of last year I started assembling some Crooked Dice figures for When Nightmares Come.

The Vermin class figures are Crooked Dice Creeper Hounds.

Stumpy Shrieker from Crooked Dice

 Crooked Dice released a number of fungous based Dungeon Monsters a while back. Amongst the collection were Shriekers. Here is a painted Stumpy Shrieker.

The "figure" is based on a 25mm Renedra round base.

The puddle base was smoothed in using Milliput.

Woodland Scenics fine cinder ballast was applied over PVA as base ground cover.

The whole thing was undercoated with Citadel Chaos Black.

The ground was painted with Vallejo Flat Earth.

The body was painted with Citadel Rakarth Flesh.

The stem was washed with Citadel Agrax Earh Shade.

The cap, gills and band were washed with Citadel Druichi Purple.

The body and cap were drybrushed with Citadel Terminatus Stone.

I have another two to base and paint. Not sure what I am going to use them for.

When DEEP SEVEN come

 Many and varied are the horrors that lurk in the shadows.

These diminutive creepy crawlies pack a mighty punch, and these are just hatchlings.

These are Crooked Dice Cthonic Hatchlings.

The figures were glued to Renedra 25mm diameter bases. Once Woodland Scenics' cinder fine ballast had been glued to the base it was undercoated with Citadel Chaos Black spray.

Vallejo Flat Earth was used for the base.

The body was painted with Vallejo Grey Blue.

The head is Army Painter Oozing Purple.

The eyes were first painted with Army Painter Stone Golem, followed by Citadel Mephiston Red.

The beak is Citadel Morghast Bone.

The whole thing was shaded with Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade.

Finally it was drybrushed with Citadel Terminatus Stone.

Three done, seven to go.

When Nightmares Come and turn the world Upside Down - Horde

 This is the next level of Dark Spawn - Horde.

They are more dangerous than Vermin, but as Hunters gain experience (and upgraded toys) they become less of a threat.

Crooked Dice Ahnenerbe Mutated Experiments provide the figures.

Undercoat is Citadel Chaos Black.

Skin is Citadel Rarkath Flesh.

Mouth is Citadel Mephiston Red, the teeth are Citadel Morghast Bone. This is then washed with Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade.

The skin is then washed with Citadel Carronburg Crimson (including the mouth).

Kate faces off against one of the horde.

She needs to watch her flank.
