The extremely rough texture on these walls comes from a liberal undercoat of Rustoleum enamel. It makes them an absolute breeze to paint with rattle cans, and after that you’re just a wash away from being done. Each of the 16 wall sections comes pre-weathered, with dings, dents, and gouges already molded into the surface. Each wall section is festooned with skulls, naturally, but also with computer screens, cables, and all manner of grimdark industrial nick-nacks. What makes Into the Dark so special is the terrain, which portrays the labyrinthine corridors of the doomed starship in chunky gray polystyrene. This particular space hulk is called the Gallowdark, and Into the Dark takes place in a very small part of it, a human-made starship called Glory of Terra Triumphant. They can sometimes contain valuable treasures, but they’re also home to all manner of fell creatures, including Chaos Space Marines, Asuryani Eldar, and worse. These masses of derelict space ships, asteroids, and other debris blink in and out of reality, appearing seemingly at random all over the galaxy. Into the Dark takes place in a space hulk, of which there are many in the 40K universe. Note that I didn’t write Space Hulk, the classic 1989 board game that pits Space Marine Terminators against Tyranid Genestealers.
