Nekroplanet Grob: the Treasure Ark and the Statue

One of the many outlandish burial customs of the Nekroplanet - a mechanical sarcophagus perpetually on the move, carrying the dead one and their precious possessions.

My work on Nekroplanet continues with a pair of scenario features. We have ten scenarios in the game, and most of them include a centrepiece terrain or figure that represents the focus of the struggle between the Raiders and the Grobniks. You've seen the Gate and the Tower previously, and during July I managed to toybash, paint and photograph the Treasure Ark and the Great Statue of Ulm. 

Tomb Raiders have long coveted the secret treasure vault beneath the Statue of Ulm. Getting in is easier said than done, as the vault opens for one hour once a year. With that time approaching, both Raiders and Grobniks amass their forces at the entrance…

Both features were built using mostly parts of toys I collected from flea markets and shops on the cheap. As always, nail art elements and beads are here to add techy detail to empty surfaces. I have several tutorials that demonstrate my techniques and materials on previous projects. Have a look at: 

• Tutorial: Spherical Drone Build
• Tutorial: Building&Painting Industrial Terrain
• Tutorial: Ornate Door Build

If you have any questions about the new builds, don't hesitate to ask!

During July we had a period of intense in-house playtesting of Nekroplanet Grob, making a number of tweaks to the scenarios and model rules as a result. The new version of the rulebook is coming soon to our playtest Discord. We are satisfied with where the game is, and are planning to lock in the final version of the ruelbook text by the end of 2024.

As a freelancer I'm constantly chasing commissions, and finding time and energy for blogging is getting increasingly more difficult. So I want to thank all of Gardens of Hecate’s patrons! Your support is sincerely appreciated.
