40k Channel   40k Kanal
Some time ago I found a site which had some ideas on constructing a 40k river / channel. Not your "normal" river, but something you could find on an industrial world or in an underhive - the nice blue river with stones and grassy banks just wouldnīt fit in a 40k theme.

I couldnīt find that site again, so I tried some ideas on my own.

The river banks are not made from earth, but concrete or steel. In the sketches below I made the "water" blue, but on my terrain pieces the water (or should I say gunk) is going to be some color between brown/grey/yellow - itīs really nasty stuff you wouldnīt want to go skinny-dipping.

Hm - so first I had to think of some ideas, what pieces to make, how they should fit together and the like. The sketches below are very basic pieces without many details, but for playing around with a 3D-program good enough. In the model I will use pipes, rats, corrugated steel plates and whatever I find in my BitzBoxes.

The pieces are sized from 20x20cm to 20x40cm and the base is 3.2mm thick.

    
 

    
     
Some of the pieces together    
   
A very simple piece    
   
sloped-down middle section    
   
A small stairway down to gunk level - maybe introduce small boats? I remember some short stories from Necromunda. Hmmm...    
   
A very basic corner piece    
     
Other pieces that I can think of:

T-Piece
Bridge (of course)
Factory ?
Maybe some Harbour-pieces ?
