Big, scary, furry......

ohh.... now this will be scary^^

So it's been an odd week of wargaming, Oli sent me a ransom note through the post for my juve that he had captured. I didn't put two and two together and called the police....

The actual rescue mission was a blast, very sneaky and tense, after the alarm eventually sounded three of my four strong rescue party were immediately blown away leaving only my leader. She went feral and slaughtered 3 gangers in hand to hand, it took two dowsings of prometheum to finally force her down.

The good times of Wednesday night's campaign were carried over into today when Oli and Beard came by for an afternoon of kitbashing. We all had our projects, Tony is building an NPC gang of arbites for the campaign out of the scions sprue, Oli pinned and GS filled his delaque ready for painting, I was going to assemble 50 mantic zombies ready to play the escape from the pit mission but I never got round to buying them so I carried on working on my chaos Lord.

I like switching between fantasy and Munda/40K. I find whichever system I work on allows me time and clarity for thinking about the other. Whilst building my Escher I have been knocking about this idea of a Mounted Marauder Lord. Its all very rough early stages but I am happy how he's turned out so far. I hated cutting up the games day champion model, it's one of my favourites but it had to happpen. I will have to buy another so I still have the original on foot

Bahahaha Necromunda getting the police involved! I hope you got your Juve back! Also this latest guy is looking mighty cool. Really like the choice of horns on the beastie

I know it was mad. Bad timing really. I'm dealing with a nasty debt recovery at the moment so I assumed it was him. In the end I got her but it cost me a power axe and 20 creds!

Three words. Pump. My. Flamer

Damn that chaos lord is going to be good.

I really like the Esher heavy, now with flamer. The shoulder pad really works. I'm not sure about the bayonet though, it makes it look confused and upside down.

@PDH, thanks for the crit, I think it may be that the knife is too big, I will have a rummage and see if a smaller weapon sits on the model better.

Several people at our necrosis gaming group have already started kitbashing their next gangs for after this campaign. Ineptmule on yaktribe is putting together some very cool van saar using elysian drop troops. Anyway I got to thinking about who I wanted to have a crack with next and turned my attention to Goliaths. I love muscle skills, but I hate the goliath range, not enough punk and too much S&M. So I thought I would start sticking some stuff together and see what I can make

And also a ganger

I am regularly chastised for my lack of painted miniatures so I thought I better make a start. There are some things I already want to change, especially the pistol body and I want to break the hair up with another colour but she is getting there.

She Rocks great conversion works spot on as an Escher leader loving the eye shadow really makes her look the part

Great work on the gangers, really liking the leader figure, where is she from, I've seen it before, but I'm at a loss right now. Also I think a smaller knife will make the flamer perfect.....unless you can make a scale sized marshmallow on a stick

@ Theophony - thanks dude. She is the dark elf sorceress model. You can see her unpainted with green stuff work on the previous page

@ LDD - cheers dude, you prolific use of Ork giffs is as always appreciated.

I actually vaguely enjoyed painting yesterday which is rare for me so I thought I would give it another bash





Still need to do some detail work but I am happy with how she is coming along

You're just showing off now

Looks great but you need to do the base

Nice work. The skin looks great in particular.

@LDD - yes they will all be based properly, I just painted on a Brown base colour to make sure the colours were okay. I used the cracking paint as I have it but haven't played with it yet so it seemed a good opportunity

@Dr h - thanks. My bugbear is highlighting and shading cloth, skin I understand the basic rules so can get an okay effect.

So this is what I have been mucking around with the last few days. My Juve Spring has a bs of 4 and gunfighter so I needed a new model for her and then I turned my attention to starting to construct my gokiath gang for our next campaign. Below is what has come together so far.

love the goliath guys what are the heads from

@kencotter thanks dude. They are a mix of chaos cultist and marauder horsemen from wfb.

oh sweet might have to nick that idea when i get round to doing them

that leaders boss get

Cool project. Great to see more and more of the specialist games. That old school laspistol looks great. Can't wait to see them all painted

@ Boba Fett - thanks for the comment, our gaming group is pretty much dedicated now to specialist gaming, currently playing Munda and bloodbowl but will also be involved in Mordheim and possibly GorkaMorka in the new year. There has even been talk of Warhammer Quest making an appearance. If anyone is interested we meet at the Rake Pub in Borough/ London Bridge. PM me for more details all are welcome

I was not happy with my flamer. The old Escher heavy model was just to present in it and I hated that so I decided to try again.





Really happy with how she has turned out so far. Obviously she is currently missing an arm. The body is from malifaux which is 32 scale so I had to do a lot of cut and shut to get her scale down to size but I think I have hot away with it. Just need to decide what to do with her other limb

I also had a chance to do a little more work to my Goliaths, cutting down the stubbier to create a heavy bolter and working with some of the bodies I have bought for the gangers

And I gave my flamed her other arm...

The flamer girl looks very cool! What Malifaux base model did you use for her? And where is the head from?

sweet sweet necromunda!
like the chaos lord mount as well, not sure on the horns but yeah, cracking stuff

Yeah, liking the flamer girl. Nice character to her.

Good work on the goliaths too.

The heavy bolter goliath looks great. Simple conversion, but so effective! Where is the head from?
Great blog! Keep up the excellent work

@ Logan - Thanks mate, the model is Vanessa by Malifaux, her scale is wrong though so I shortened her by about 4mm which wasn't hard as her legs were ridiculously long

@ Radu - Thanks for the positive comments, I have ripped the mount up now and will be trying something new, I was trying to make a chaotic stag like creature but he looked like an anteater

@ Dr h - as always thanks for the thumbs up

@ Boba - The head is from the marauder horsemen kit. Chaos marauders are my no 1 kit for GW to update, there is no good supply for bare chests that I can find and I am sick of shaving beast man torsos. With the sculpts they knock out these days they could do something really special.

Thanks mate! Yeah, i will definitely have a closer look at these sprues...
Really great thread!
