Since December 2012 I have been posting various Necromunda blogposts with houserules. Thanks to BGG's menu to the right, you can click on a tag to combine all my Necromunda posts in one thread.
But the thread has become too long. And after playtesting, some errata is required.
That's why I have started re-editing my houserules. I will publish a two-pager (PDF) each week to tidy things up. It's a nice addition to your collection if you're a Necromunda first edition fan like me!
Here you go:

Content: rules for SOLO PLAY
Miniature Games Construction Yard
In this blog I'll talk about various miniature games. Custom miniatures and minor conversions are my favorite pastime. I'll cover scenery making and painting too.
The WIP you'll see here is all about Necromunda, Epic 40,000, Warhammer Fantasy 5th Edition, Warmaster, Warhammer 40K 3rd Edition and Lord ot Rings.

Oh boy, oh boy... I finished these two Cave Trolls months ago. And then totally ruined them by applying Army Painter DIP. The finished results were shiny Trolls with a wetlook
This week I gathered all my courage and started repainting them completely. It now feels like I've painted 4 Cave Trolls :-):strip_icc()/pic7668104.jpg)
Only basing remains. Glue, sand and cheap brown acrylic paint will do.:strip_icc()/pic7668105.jpg)
My Ork Captains did not receive extensive conversions. Just a weapons swap and an elevated base (with cork) make them pop out of the horde. A also glued a strip of lead to the base to make it heavier. This makes him FEEL more important too when picking up the miniature.

... and from other places.

With my orcs ready for play, I constructed my battlefield.
:strip_icc()/pic7505599.jpg)
My last visit to Essen SPIEL introduced me to Battle Systems scenery. They produce high quality cardboard scenery. No glue required, thus very modular!

Their fantasy battlefield box provided my with all I needed for LOTR battles.

Years of roaming around on eBay provided me quite a collections of (cheap) miniatures from The Lord of the Rings: Strategy Battle Game.
Recently I started painting these to offer me some variation in my hobby. The sculpts are good, the setting is awesome.
I can advise to have a look on YouTube for painting tutorials. Some of them are very very helpful. Especially the ones about Balrog. For now, only my orcs a ready for (painted) play.:strip_icc()/pic7505556.jpg)

Warhammer 40K Eldar Exodites is one of those mysterious old-school fan armies. Some official art and miniatures exist, but it's hiding in the shadows for a long time.
Dinoriders is a forgotten 80's cartoon series. Ideal for inspiration.
Nine years ago I started collecting dino toys and 6mm Epic 40K Eldar bits with a plan to create a custom Eldar Exodites army. I finally managed to find some time and interest to continue working on these mini's. (Here's my 2013 Exodites blogpost.)
The idea is to use them in Warhammer Epic 40,000 by using this fanmade army list: http://tocoking.be/homerules/files/Epic40000_ArmiesBook_II.p....
Paint is definitely needed to make them look good, but you get the general idea.:strip_icc()/pic7106792.jpg)
These three Brachiosaurs have following stat line:
Megasaur, Speed 10, Range 30, Firepower 1, Assault 4, Armour 4+, Cavalry, Rampage, Transport (2) - 22 Points:strip_icc()/pic7106793.jpg)
:strip_icc()/pic7106795.jpg)
This Protoceratops pair will be used like this:
Megasaur, Speed 10, Range 30, Firepower 1, Assault 4, Armour 4+, Cavalry, Rampage, Transport (1), Flak - 21 Points:strip_icc()/pic7106796.jpg)
:strip_icc()/pic7106797.jpg)
These custom fire prisms will provide the Anti Tank special ability.:strip_icc()/pic7106798.jpg)
:strip_icc()/pic7106799.jpg)
:strip_icc()/pic7106800.jpg)
Using these miniatures in battle will be fun. And it is a pleasant hobby project.

"Captain, we're approaching the city entrance."
:strip_icc()/pic7074935.jpg)
"Heed those turrets hidden in the forest!:strip_icc()/pic7074936.jpg)
"Land Raider proceed to the city center.":strip_icc()/pic7074937.jpg)
"Blood, Angels, capture that unfinished* landing pad."
* The Tau landing pad still needs a bottom. Simple white cardboard will do fine.

Junk. Spraypainted.

Some of these items were in my storage for more than 5 years. But I once saw something special in them, and I still do.
:strip_icc()/pic7074933.jpg)
All this stuff will become a giant city of the 40K Tau Empire. Wait and see, it'll be nice

In the expansion book Warhammer (Sixth Edition): The General's Compendium there is a step by step guide to create a Grave Hill. Or Tomb entrance. It inspired me to do this:
:strip_icc()/pic7074908.jpg)
Some styrofoam leftovers from a nearby construction site, glued together.:strip_icc()/pic7074909.jpg)
I inserted a plastic doorway from Warhammer Quest, and fixed it with black TEC-7 glue.:strip_icc()/pic7074910.jpg)
Undercoated black with cheap acrylic paint.:strip_icc()/pic7074911.jpg)
And then painted brown because all my other hills are that color too. I wanted to keep some unity in my scenery collection.:strip_icc()/pic7074912.jpg)
There's gold in them hills! (Or a Liche...
