"Nekroplanet Grob" is an incredible, spooky, and grimly whimsical sci-fi setting created by Ana Polanšćak, also known as Gardens of Hecate. It's a tomb world of red sand and mysterious ruins, protected by terrifying skeletal automatons and bizarre phenomena. Nevertheless, raiders travel from off-planet to risk everything in search of the treasures of the long-ago tomb-builders...

Raiders arrive on the necroplanet with heavy weaponry, power armor, and advanced scanners, in the hopes of uncovering mysterious and valuable artifacts, and detecting the planet's defenders before they arrive. It's always a deadly game of chance, as weapons and sensor technologies you don't always work the way you expect, and the planet has defenses that even the most skilled adventurers have never encountered before...

Traveling Hexahedron and Hedral Pillars
Traveling Hexahedrons are black cubes of unknown composition and apparent indestructible nature, which slide across the planet's surface seemingly at random. As they move, they will indiscriminately crush any creatures in their path.
Hedral Pillars exist in sporadic clusters on the planet's surface. They seem to attract traveling hexahedrons, but a space in between at least three pillars is the only place on the surface a creature cannot be crushed by the Hexahedrons' movements.
(The Traveling Hexahedron concept is created by Ana Polanšćak. The Pillars are my idea. Both are created from cheap puzzle toys.)
Nekroplanet Blitzer
The Nekroplanet's Grobnik infantry are lethal and resilient in their own regard, but their heavier support can be truly terrifying. Although Annihilators are more heavily armed, Blitzers move across the treacherous nekrolith at high speed, seeking intruders on their own or rapidly arriving to reinforce Grobniks in battle.
The Blitzer is made from a dollar store Halloween decoration and the wheels for a toy car. And it's definitely inspired by the band Megadeth's mascot "Vic Rattlehead"...
Oh, I love them all! I chuckled when I recognised the source material for the Hexahedron, and I praise the way you envisioned it! I love all the builds you made!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I can't take any credit for that one, Ana made one first. I did recognize the potential of some similar promotional puzzle pens at a vendor show at work, thus spawning the Pillars 😁
DeleteNo matter time nor distance, I keep coming and I keep finding stuff straight up to my alley! 🥰
ReplyDeleteKnew about these thru hecate blog, and knew about her because of verrotwood or something in the vein. She makes stuff and pictures for mini agnostic games.
I miss the vives these minis (and the stuff you built arround) bring back to memory: these realms where the line between fantasy and sci-fi was thin. We all need more of these in our lives.
Javi!!!!!!! Welcome back!
DeleteReally earning that trophy 😁🏆😁
The line between sci-fi and fantasy is as thin as we wish to make it... As a wise man once said, "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". I enjoy this sort of thing because our imagination really is the only limitation... also our bitz box, but welp! 😄
Feels weird not having posts from you... me? I'm a lazy mofo but your monthly strady update are like moon cycles. Hope everything is ok
ReplyDeleteOkay, just busy, thanks!
DeleteMy Instagram is more lively. I am trying to put together a few posts here though.
