Epic (heh) conversion! I especially like the warboss. How did you cut the card so damn small?
thanks dude. Its a two way method to get the really small bits I need for modelling. 1)I keep a dish of all the offcuts and scrap which I dive into for small bits and 2) I cut a long thin strip off a sheet (anything from a couple mm to 1cm thick and then cut the shapes I need off that- it does cause a lot of waste but then that just goes back into the offcut pot to be reused! Plus nothing I make really matches up, but that doesnt matter with orks/rats/nurgle so much.

nice terrain!
I really like the ruins!
Thanks! I have more, and when I'm back in work I will be ordering tons more, I really like them, and they are so easy to work with.
So things have been kinda funny recently, and I needed something to stick my head in and take my mind elsewhere. My 'Micro-munda' (or 'less than an inch-quistor'!) stuff kept getting put off. I kept starting on rather large projects for it that for reasons I keep on shelving and not finishing. So I decided to work on some smaller bits to see if that gave me a kick in the butt to get something done, and finished, for it. And it worked- once I made one small building I just kept going (four nights straight now) and I now have a decent sized pile of stuff ready to to undercoat.
First I made a small part of an abandon tank factory. This one is affectionately referred to as 'The claaaaaaaw!' I left the blank area on it as a space for either a propaganda poster or some graffiti
Next is a electrical conduit, the cables actually come to just below the terminators head, so it provides cover, but the photo makes it look rather flat.
Next I made a bunch of crash barriers, though some spikey cultists got their hands on three of them! I have a ton more cut ready to be glued to together, but wanted to space them out as I will get sick of painting them if I made them all at once.
Next up a made two of these Fuel dumps/ ammo crates warehouse tiles. Not much detail on the crates but I will paint a lot of that on.
Random bridge to nowhere! I made it but it didn't really have function, but I thought it came out looking cool, so I added the pipe underneath to give a little more 'realism' and now I can always go back and add slime or electrical tiles to mix up with this piece! Still needs a few more coats of liquid greenstuff to smooth the steps out.
Made a small tower with some I beams I got cheap. Will make several more versions of this, and at least one more with much more detail, but I wanted a fast easy tower piece.
Next is a simple wall/ walkway. Made mostly for the opposite side which is all blank wall, room for plenty of the necromunda posters to be stuck on.
Picked up some cheap and ridiculously oversized industrial vehicles, way to big, but I think they work as they are crazy! I love this one as the back lifts up and revels the bones of some dead prehistoric creature (Of which a real live specimen may have escaped my genetics lab and be seen at a later date!)
Warehouse tiles together
And lastly- This may get tidied up or a very least a hazard stripe paint job but this is a very important piece of kit...
The rescue Rod can grab out minis that my fingers cant always reach from inside buildings!
I need to kick myself to finish the large building roof and walkway system (one more level to go on the top), then I can spray this lot all at once! Then I think it needs a couple of 'fluff' items like statues or something then I need to crack on with the start of the warbands, and rebasing the ones I have already completed! My mission is to actually play a game on this as soon as I can! ( I've not actually played any game since my last WFB game which was around 1995!!)
