Hello chaps, time for a change of pace of me, and to launch into another project! I want to eventually collect and paint all of the original models (except the Goliaths because those models are tremendously awful)

First of all to anyone reading this I am looking for the following gangs to buy from you anyone with them, if anyone has the complete or even partial collections I am chasing:
Cawdor, Van Saar, Delaque.

I have always loved the Necromunda figures, it was the height of Necromunda when I got into the hobby in 1996 and so my early days of White Dwarf where filled with these models and i've always had a massive soft spot for them, and my early days of gaming was with Necromunda and Gorkamorka as well as 2nd Ed 40k, although I never did at the time own any Necromunda figures!

I have the Escher gang all complete and finished, so I will trickle them out one at a time as I go to keep you interested whilst I paint through the other ones, I will also be painting my WFB Empire/DOW at the same time so I will be going slowly!

Escher Ganger with Autogun and Pistol, Escher Ganger with Lasgun

These are all painted up Punk Rockers/Hair Band girls from the 80's bright colours and big hair so what else could they be!

Orlock Juve and Ratskin Ganger

These wip figures show my new thing, Grey Undercoat, for me the perfect balance between providing a bit of shading and still keeping the colours vibrant, so we will see how they go! I am not sure on what to do with the Orlocks just yet, although their obvious Biker looks is making me lean towards black leather jackets and blue jeans, we will see how it goes. With the ratskins I am thinking up earthy tones for clothing, with Albino ratskin cloaks and some Native American inspired facial warpaint, If I can give an impression of these guys I will be very pleased.

Those are some cool looking Escher, I especially like the one on the right, great colours.

I think you are wrong about the Goliaths though, the original models looks cool with the right paintjob and maybe a tweak or two (see here) and the newer ones (if you are including them) are amazing.

Hallo chaps! Got another little man painted, just the one this week, but I have been purchasing as well, it might amuse Bruticus to know that despite my no Goliath statement earlier I have bought some anyway! Can't control myself!

Ratskin Renegade with Lasgun

This was a fun model to paint and i'm pleased with how the little fella turned out, the little symbol on his rifle was a native american symbol I doodled on.

Never painted pink before! I am thinking I need to spruce up the bases on my guys a little, might get some scenic ones! Haven't decided yet. But just wanted to start painting so didn't have time to fiddle with fancy basing and just get a ratskin painted up. Really enjoying these old Necromunda models.

Looks good so far! I know you said you'd like to post the Escher gang over time, but if they are all done, I'd love to see a few more.

You can never beat your first time. The second generation is shinier, stronger, faster and superior in every regard save one, and it's an unfair criticism to level, but it simply can't be as original. - Andy Chambers, on the evolution of Games Workshop games

They look great. Nice attention to detail like the face paint on the Escher. Very nice.

Thanks for the kind words boys! Appreciate it, some more girls step up, going to do all of my Chainswords with the industrial hazard stripes, love that look. Although I just notice now in the photo that a couple of the stripes are slightly irregular!

Escher with Autogun, Escher with Autopistol and Chainsword


A few new models have arrived and are primed and ready to go! At this moment painting up the brave, I am taking my time with these boys getting one done at a time, very enjoyable way to paint but slow!

Redemptionist with Shotgun, Ratskin Brave with Musket (haha!) Scavvy with Shotgun


I have a cool paintjob planned for the redemptionist going to be fairly bold I hope, and for the Scavvies my idea was to paint them in tattered industrial safety clothing, yellow or orange types, maybe a high vis stripe or two, do it on a case by case basis! Represent them either raiding or being ex-factory workers.

Thanks rustproof

Night time painting!


Anyhow, had a productive night, and decided to take a late night photo of my now finished Brave. Great model (although not really the most grimdark 40k piece! But i love it anyway.) Really pleased with the eyes on this chap, and happy how the facepaint came out. Think i'm going to stipple a bit of rust on a few more things now since it brightens up a piece of scenery quite nicely.

Love the latest Eschers, especially the one with the Autogun whose fashion sense looks straight out of 80s.

Some of those models have aged very well! (Some sucked to begin with)

The Escher are looking great, but the rat-skin brave is my fave of the bunch.

Your paint station is far too clean, either that or I am very messy!

Great looking models anyhow, the face paint looks really good, not too subtle that you can't see it but no too bright that it looks unrealistic. Great stuff!

Ratskin Juve is outstanding. Very well done. Also, it's cool to see someone working on Necromunda models. I still think it was the best game GW ever released.

Subbed and looking forward to seeing what you offer next.

And I agree your workspace is way to clean, you can eat where you paint!
I can eat where I paint as well but its much more cluttered and less sanitary XD

Thanks for the kind words chaps! Really appreciate the positive comments, really perks me up to get them. Actually my painting area last week was massively messy! It took me most of Saturday to completely re-tidy everything and get my paints put in my new racks, if you look underneath the table you can probably see piles of little men things that have been haphazardly stacked.

Now I know this isn't Necromunda, but I have my second guard army that has been sitting neglected for about a year, I lost inspiration on them and it took me a while to figure out why. They were too dark! The colours I painted were very realistic and looked pretty good individually, but when you put them all together they were very dull. So I took the time to brighten one up a goodly amount, helps it pop I feel, hope you agree!

I actually have a Necromunda scenario in my head involving Guardsmen/PDF, maybe I'll try to develop it in the future and post it up! (maybe some exist already! Feel free to share!) that's something that I find Necromunda lent itself too well, the scale and rich setting of it means scenarios can be devised much more easier. Plus the squad level game means that your always much more involved with your figures than throwing another horde of men into enemy guns.

Burn the witch! Cool models the redemptionists, very fitting in the 40k universe the crazed Zealot and not really represented on the 40k battlefield at all (besides Chaos worshippers!). Then again, crazed untrained, poorly armed and un-armoured men stand no chance against professional soldiers, let alone the horrors that the 40k universe spawns!

In the sprawling underhive however, plenty of witches to burn!

Redemptionist with Shotgun


Hope you guys like my choice of colours with this one, didn't want to go for the hot rod flame effect on the robe, they like to burn things not be burnt themselves after all! Besides, fanatics don't tend see themselves as such and having flame robes seems too self aware to me

I like the robes a lot. Is it dheneb stone or some similiar colour?
The face mask might be a bit dark. It sort of obscures the shape of it.

I also love the Ratskin Brave. The highlights on the facepaint are exceptional.
Also jealous of that paint collection!

It is Dheneb stone, one of my favourite Citadel colours for sure. I agree about the mask in the photos, in the flesh the highlights are much more apparent,consequence of photographing at night I think.

The paints just build up over the years i think oo i need...

The detail on the Guardsman is impressive. And I really enjoyed seeing the Redemptionist. This thread is a lot of fun to follow.

Any chance of Cawdor in the future? (hint hint )

These latest photos show my favourite work to date, my mother is a furniture restorer and I must have inherited some of that drive from her because I have 'restored' these miniatures and it please me more than doing up some brand new models. Hope you like the results also

Before, my 2nd hand redemptionists


After, Redemptionist with Autogun, Redemptionist with Stubgun and Autopistol, Redemptionist with two Autopistols


Anyway, got some more men sprayed and ready to go, a Cawdor, a Goliath and some other to go! Will show you my box of wonder/horror in my next post!

very nice, I really like the muted cream colour you have used for those robes. Looking forward to seeing the Goliath, glad you changed your mind on those.

That is an infinite improvement over the original paintjobs. Great to see the Redemptionists done justice. Very impressive.

Thanks guys glad you like them! Comments and constructive criticism is such a great motivator

Bruticus: Well as I.gathered up the models from the internet I realised I couldn't skip out on one of the gangs even if it has my least favourite model in it. :p Equal to Nagash imo!

That was an impressive save on those Redemptionists. The robes are definitely a change from anything I've seen applied to them before, and it is very well done.

I noticed you mentioned a Cawdor model on deck. Looking forward to your vision of them.

Lovely work, especially the Redemptionists... A great idea taking them away from the usual flames that everyone uses, they really look sinister. Are you just painting the models or will you be doing any scenery as well?

Ok, haven't finished my Goliath and Cawdor yet (sorry Skalk! But getting my Guard finished up for a 40k mega game) although they are on the way, in the meantime here is one i prepared earlier Armorum will like this. Love the expression on this lady, very fierce, and it was my first attempt at Tartan too Turned out pretty well.

Ruguld: I started off just wanting to do the models, but the itch to build necessary is increasing a lot, particularly as i look through some of the awesome painting logs on this website with some mind blowing Necromunda scenery, see how we go.

Firstly I will say you have done a great job on those models, some excellent paint jobs in there.

Secondly I have a few of the models you need on my post:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/488964.page

Unfortunately I have just traded my Delaque and Cawdor gangs :( but there are some Van Saar and Scavvy models still available as well as Pit Slave, Bounty Hunter etc.

The photos can all be found in my gallery.

Keep up the good work, your paint station is insanely tidy!
