Merry Christmas everybody! Hope you all have a nice holiday period and get the goodies you asked for, aren't we glad it wasn't the calender induced apocalypse!

Thanks Ozy and Boar, I have now gotten the other miniatures I was looking for, except for a couple of Spyrers and one tricky Van Saar Juve. The paint station is a little more messy now

Just wanted to show off my box of wonder/horror (currently wonder, as i get through it it might turn to the latter) my almost complete collection of Necromunda 95/97 figures awaiting paint jobs. Think you guys can ID them all? You'll go mad trying Like me!

Oh man I'm so jealous. I can see the Redemptionist with a Grenade Launcher that I've been in love with since I saw it!

And a Spyrer!

Tell me, do you have the Spyrer Patriarch somewhere amongst that treasure trove of goodies?

The lastest Escher looks great - the facepaint and the tartan - design on her pants kick ass. As for the treasure trove you have there painting all those minis will surely be fun, I myself just painted a Goliath and Enforcer gang. Merry Xmas btw !

Yes, I can identify them all. Necromunda was an absolute obsession for me from 95-99.

Design on the pants and attention to detail is excellent. I really like how you paint.

I love the paint jobs you're working with, everything looks great! Keep up the good work!

I have to ask if you know that GW still sells Necromunda models and has the rules for it up on their website under the specialist games. You can almost always order the sets from them if you have the appropriate product numbers.

Dang! I have missed the first page of a sweet thread.

My favourites so far: Escher with lasgun - one of my fav sculpts with a lovely paint job - love the red band down the gun.

Always nice to see models pre paint stripper and after paint stripper. With the transformation you've done to those redemptionists you deserve a medal.

Looking forward to seeing more out of the massive Christmas box.....dare I ask did you get the Escher with plasma gun?

Thanks everybody Hmel: Yes i have gotten a couple items from GW directly, Van Saar gang, easier to find there than on ebay.

PDH, it may indeed be there! You will have to wait and see

Goliath Online! As the little walker said in Starcraft back in this era. Got my big muscle man painted, not the greatest of sculpts by a long shot but one of the better Goliath ones. Couldn't resist putting some hazard stripes on his rifle, I will continue that with the rest of the Goliaths, feel it fits their heavy industry background and its my favourite trend of the 'red era'.

The muscles on this guy though! Blimey, must be some serious drugs in the underhive!

Goliath with Autogun and Axe


Cawdor Juvie next! They will be tied in with the redemptionists in their paint scheme, since the Redemptionists are meant to be part of the Cawdor House anyhow!

My first Cawdor is done, He has a rusty old Knife as a Juve but his laspistol is kept in good condition! The hazard stripes will remind him to point away from face! I deliberately wanted the Cawdor to tie in with the Redemptionists, firstly, because the Redemptionists are part of the Cawdor house, so I see these guys as being part of the same sect, and secondly because it also gives me the opportunity to use them in 40k games as a single unit, since they mix so well.

Cool Cawdor Juve, I find most of the necromunda models in general make great cultists for 40k Chaos armies. The Goliaths were always very tongue in cheek - the macho punks who worked out with Arnold in the 70's, I still enjoy painting them though and great job on the autogun !

Hello chaps! Back on the Necromunda painting again. I did these two because they represent the Best and Worst miniatures in the Necromunda gang. The two Deacons.

The Worst: Deacon with Flamer, not the worst model in the Necromunda range, but the worst in the Redemptionst, this guy is a bit lame imo for two reasons, firstly, his hat, it is completely flat, there is no room at all for this guys face to be, unless his nose and lips and chin have been ground flat (not an impossibility in the underhive I suppose!) but his totally tubular head annoys me and secondly his arms, ludicrously large for his body and far too long, they would reach past his knees if they were resting down. If those arms were replaced with some human sized sleeved ones it'd be a pretty good model I think. Really 40k this guy.

The Deacon with Grenade Launcher is my favourite Redemptionist model and in my Top 5 Necro models of the entire range. Well proportioned, excellent pose with the robes flowing naturally in the direction of movement, and the absolutely fierce grotesque mask that he's wearing, coupled with that studded hoot, brilliant. A figure that feels totally 40k to me.

Thanks PDH and I have seen that thread before alabamaheretic, its a biggie! Need to take some time to go have a good look at it.

Inspiration struck suddenly at work today! (yesterday now its 1am!) So I stayed up all night painting this one guy. The Orlock Juve, I initially wrestled with a concept for these guys and then decided to leave it, let it simmer and see what happens, well today I was thinking about the colour schemes I wanted for all the un-started gangs and I thought, oo I want to paint checkers on something, but which gang.

Then I thought ah, the bandannas and loincloths on the Orlocks, of course! suddenly I had images of 50's diners, Race cars, Rockabilly and greasers, those old timey American mechanic shops and so the evening was spent furiously painted and he emerged, chequered and festooned with a Spade, I will do them with clubs, hearts, diamonds also.

His skin is a little orange in the pic, which it doesn't look in real life, just late night photography under my lightbulbs i'm afraid. Great expression on this model, a little scared, a little swagger, good model.

Nice paint jobs on your models. I wish I had gone crazy and gotten all the necromunda figs back then, now I just want a few more before my collection is done, but not complete.

Are you still missing any figs that I might have? Let me know.

Thanks alabamaheretic, it's quite easy to do little details like lines and checks, just thin paint, you do squares by doing lots of little vertical lines rather then trying to paint a square.

Thanks thephoney, I know what you mean! I barely kept any of the old models from 2nd edition, had the Ork Stormboyz and Kommandos and heaps of cool metal figs, sold 90% of them around 2000 because of the terrible embarrassing paintjobs haha, silly me.

The models I am still chasing are a few Spyrers and the Van Saar juve with Club, can't find that little ugly bugger anywhere.

I really love your paintjobs, they're so creative, but also reminiscent of old school schemes and styles. What a great combo! I'm interested to see some of your vehicles or terrain that you may have made, as well. Have you built a table to play Necromunda on? It might be neat to see.

I guarantee you that I'm not really as smart as the test says:

Thanks killykavekommando, I don't actually have any terrain atm! But it's something I want to work on to build up a Necromunda terrain board Maybe in the future I will. As far as vehicles I have some IG with some mech that I can post up.

Continuing on with the Redemptionists, two more fanatics, including the Priest with the melta gun, hot stuff. Both pretty decent sculpts the Priest in particular being another standout in the Necro range.

Some sort of impractical weapon wielding maniac will be next!

Vroom vroom! The sound of a chainsaw wielding maniac reverberates through the hive! Run girls with easily twistable ankles!

Excellent results once again. I especially appreciate how you use much lighter colors than I see most people (including myself) incorporating in their color schemes for Necromunda. The Goliath cracked me up a bit, the facial expression is comical and I enjoyed that.

Always looking forward to seeing whatever you have to offer.

It lives! Hello all, been neglecting my poor Necromundas a bit, but back on the wagon with a few new models to show off! Hopefully some of my fans are still around to remember these! Hopefully I don't spend too much time distracted by other projects this time. So many models so little time.

First up, here is a functional, if a little un-exciting model, shotgun guy. Not too fabulous but useful in the game to have a nice cheap shotgun guy!

Brethren with Shotgun


I hate having to write text! So I wasn't looking forward to getting to this Arch Zealot model, but it turned out... Ok. Might revise him later, but he will do for now. Still a cool miniature though, suitably angry looking without having to be covered in a thousand thousand skulls, ah GW, when did you lose your way.

Now here is a new one, the maligned, filthy little monsters that crawl under our underhive beds. The Scavvies.

I had this guy half painted for the longest time, I was originally thinking to go with high visibility clothes like they were working in factories and mines and had escaped. But it turned out clashing awfully so I just put him down, I pickedhim up today and finished him off, with more muted colours and it turned out.. OK, I'll let you guys judge.

I'm not wholly satisfied but he will do for now, I will do the rest of them in a motley of different clothes as befitting them, but all muted and grubby of course.

What I do love about this guy is his face, amazing detail and expression. Plus those gross pimples. Great stuff.

Calling the Ratskins to war! We have this cheerful chap, 3 of his friends will soon be following. Solid model this one, good pose, turned out pretty well with a lick of paint, didn't go to ambitious with the facepaint on him.

The Ratskins I feel in particular really overcome the issues of the very flat moulds they had to use in those days, so much dynamic and fairly realistic posing going on.

Some very nice models and I like the bases too.

I like how the Scavvy has turned out. To me he seems more of a down and out peasant type rather than just a filthy, semi-mutant which makes a nice change to how they are usually portrayed.

I like the Ratskin (and the previous ones) especially the tats, they really bring out their character a lot. I agree that the models were pretty good back then and ironically, I think the models that were produced just before 'Specialist Games' was wrapped up were quite inferior to the earlier models even though GW had much better casting by that point; you can see they put real effort into the earlier models that just isn't there with the later ones.

Great stuff!

Thanks Gogsnik, you pointed out the bases then I noticed I hadn't rusted up the metal on that Ratskin!

I want my Scavvies to look like construction workers/miners and so on, risen up in rebellion I have a few Digga models from Gorkamorka that will be mixed in with them too.

Agreed completely on the later specialist game models, i think it was a result of trainee sculptors being used for them rather than their more established ones as in the original range. Even the uglier models in the 95-97 range such as the Goliaths have a lot of very fun little details on them, buckles, grenadees, belts so on.

Another Ratskin reporting to the call, just another great model from a great range. Love all the aiming models in Necromunda, always my favourite, as a child it always gave me great pleasure to be looking down the barrel with the then (crudely painted) models and paper card making pew pew noises.

Brass details on the musket make it look much more authentic and I like the green trousers too. Coupled with the tattoos again, it makes the Ratskin look much more alive, I don't recall ever seeing any that weren't just brown. Good stuff.
