If so, the 2009 discovery of a new Cappadocian underground network (now named Derinkuyu) might be of interest to those who are looking to make terrain for their subterranean survivors:

For those needing visual representations of what Cappadocians were able to do below ground:

If you have built something similar … got pics to share?

PS. Just Google subterranean Cappadocia for more images.

We used GW hobbit goblins from the boxset as lesser morlocks and used combatzone rules to fight it out .
Done this a few years back so there are probable newer alternatives now.
For the record they may be a good large morlocks for 15 mm sci-fi as they are quite small in there native 25 mm.

Necromunda ?

Cacique Caribe28 Mar 2015 9:34 a.m. PST

Feet Up Now,

Did you make your setup more open and accessible from the top, or more accessible from the side like a cross section? Or did you go for a hybrid of the two, with the cave walls in a stepped set up?

We're you able to take any pics?

Post-Apocalyptic Underground Dwellers, or PAUDs.

I'd use traditional horizontal dungeon terrain. I've seen a few vertical Necromunda game setups online, but they're few and far between, and I think they'd be limited in their use.

Cacique Caribe28 Mar 2015 11:05 a.m. PST

PAUDs! I like that.

IRL? Yes: link

I "borrowed" PAUD from C.H.U.D. (Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.H.U.D.

It's a cheesy '80s favorite of mine.

Norman D Landings28 Mar 2015 6:14 p.m. PST

Kind of assumed that was the case, JP.

What's more, I think anyone who didn't get that reference should take this flashlight and go see what that noise was.

jpattern228 Mar 2015 7:36 p.m. PST

Haha, yes!

If you're asking about figures for post apoc degenerates, ive always thought the gw lotr hunter orc infantry painted in human fkesh tones. would work well.

capncarp28 Mar 2015 10:19 p.m. PST

Will Maud the PAUD make an appearance? with apologies to Bud the CHUD.

jpattern229 Mar 2015 12:54 p.m. PST

Maud the PAUD, nice!

Cacique Caribe29 Mar 2015 1:01 p.m. PST

What if it was just passing itself off as a PAUD?

Dan

Norman D Landings29 Mar 2015 1:51 p.m. PST

What, a faux PAUD?

Good Gaud…

capncarp29 Mar 2015 6:25 p.m. PST

A PAUD Fraud? Or is Maud merely a bawd? Did I say that out laud? Betcha never saud that coming!

jpattern230 Mar 2015 6:42 a.m. PST

Stop, for the love of Gaud!

Guys,

Sean68333 seems to have found a solution that could be applied to the case of a subterranean multi-level layout. In fact, he he has gone even further and done it as tiles:

Good call.

I was over-thinking it as far as construction options go.

A floorplan that's a mix of 'street layout' and 'cave system', cut out of pink foam, would work very well.

Ooh… inspiration strikes!

Do it in vertical, cutaway cross-section view – like those first three images…

Butt the table up against a wall, prop the board on it's edge against the wall, and play vertically!

If you're going all out: slope the foam board slightly on one face so the bottom's wider than the top.
It'll be a little more stable, and the 'lower levels' will be a bit more accessible for moving figures around.

I think I mentioned elsewhere that GW, US, did a vertical one, sort of a foam cube, though I assume it was hollow.

Pretty sure you could walk your combat around the corners.

I've a vague sense of one that was basically three sheets of foam, tunnels carved in the outer two, and small passages through the middle third board.

No idea who.

Doug

Edit: Just realized the other nagging feeling I had was how much the piccies made me think 'Ant Farm'.

Doug, if I remember correctly, that GW US cube-y model was built at and on display at a FLGS in Joliet, Illinois. The shop is long gone, but was huge for a time and that model was enormous. Like a combo Space Hulk/dungeon maze-y block-y giant.
