yeah,
Looking good Ian. lots of nice complicated looking conversions on rare models.
I've gone the opposite way and gone for a really easy gang.


++ The Cult of Dirt ++
I'm using the chaos cultists from the 40k Dark Vengeance starter set, as counts as Cawdor.
Minimal conversion required, just a few weapon swaps and removal of chaos icons marks horns and spikes...

My leader.


And the rest of the gang.


The great thig about using a almost premade gang is I can get straight to painting!
The Cult of Dirt colour scheme will be green and purple so that I can also use these as cultists in my 40k nurgle army.

I've used humbrol grass green spray to base coat.
I love this stuff and used it for my grot army a couple of years ago and my necrons last year.


The first bits of the base coat have been applied. Brown silver and flesh...


I'll have this gang game worthy in no time!

Panic...

Yeah,
Bought some mundaesque resin bases for my guys!
Very exciting.

Panic.

Yeah,
Ian looking great!

Not prop do you have any complete gangs for sale?

Panic...

yeah,
Ian - Huzzah we are both Game ready For The Win!
Stag do on friday so hung over saturday morning... free most evenings saturday forward!


++ The Cult of Dirt ++

I've been very excited about my resin bases!
ForgeCraft waterworks- 25 bases for £10
40p a base - Bargin.

I found two hours today to get them painted.

Sprayed with army painter uniform grey. Painted using GW paints.

And then washed/inked with 'model mates' weathering liquids and GW washes.

Model mates is a alcohol based liquid so after it's dry you can kinda smear and remove it with a damp tissue to get pleasing effects.
When I was happy with the weathering results I sprayed the bases with army painter matt varnish to lock the effects down.

I think this is the First time my bases have been completed before the models!

and the turned to see the other sides.

The teal edge was a last minute thing, mixing scaly green and codex grey... this might be changed to a more dull grey??


Panic...

yeah,
++ The Cult of Dirt ++


(creds should have read 85...)

++ Wasteladies ++



Game 1 - a quick shoot out.

Chardonnay, Chanel and Courtney out for a walk bumped into Peter Gibbons, Micheal Bolton and Samir Nagheenanajar.


A shoot out was inevitable


and complicated standoff rules occurred.
Each side rolled a d6 each turn, adding to the previous dice rolls until one side totalled 15 or more.
The Cult of dirt lost their nerve rolling 16 ( 6s = 0... ) while the Wasteladies rolled 15.
This means that the cult lost their nerve and went for the guns first.
More dice roll rules dictated the order of firing.


and after the shots rang out Samir was Downed.


The ladies won first turn after the shoot out and downed both Peter and Michael.

With all my guys on the floor, the Cult of Dirt voluntarily bottled out... and fled the area.

Victory Wasteladies.

++
After the game the cult of dirt bought a plasma pistol for Lumbergh and clubs for the Bobs.
Simir lost 1I from shell shock.
Michael bolton gained 1 Ld from ranking up.

the Wasteladies bought a shiny new bolt gun for Leona.
Chardonnay gained the parry combat skill, she also had a real good look at a expensive telescopic sight that proved to be too expensive.
Chanel gained +1Bs from ranking up.


Panic...

yeah,
We played a second game.
I didn't take as many photos to do a proper report :( but the short story is the Cult of Dirt bottled it after 3 guys went down.
Another win for Ian's Girls.



After the game my gangs luck changed in town and found and bought a power sword! huzzah!

Panic...

yeah,

thanx... I will complete the dungeon project soon.. this gang is ment to be a minor diversion!

notprop wrote:9 more like that and you will have a pretty handsome gang, excellent work mate.
I must apologise for my lack of progress. Colds and bugs here have ensured no free time at Casa del notprop, but I'm hoping to get something done over the weekend. (famous last words!)

Thanx!
I hope your snot monsters get well soon

notprop wrote:I have also found a Tales from the Underhive WD article compilation book. Allot of stuff that has probably been republished in the Fanatic and Necro mags but I thought I'd let you fellers know in case there was anything of interest in there fore you?

I think Ian has everything on PDF, I'll be coping his folder soon.
I'm not sure if he has that article, If not I'd love a look, I'll let you know.

Read ALL the Fluff!

ArbitorIan wrote:Well, we've only played two games so far with LRB - I'm happy to re-start with NCE if that's what everyone prefers.

Noooo! I might have lost the first two games but my gang has a power sword!

ArbitorIan wrote:The only thing is, we're likely to have Pit Slaves, Scavvies, Enforcers and who knows what else in the mix soon, and I think it would be a bad idea for everyone to be digging up all sorts of house rules from random websites (or us all having to make our own?).

Sharazad is currently waiting for her scavvies in the post and she's started on her little helpers!

ArbitorIan wrote:
We're quite spread out as a group, so it could get confusing.]

I think we are ok.
I can host in south London and you in north London.
I think between your terrain and mine we could make 3 decent tables and have 6 players going at once.
Plus notProp and Fift probabily have terrain too!

Panic, I see your ganger and raise you a second (and yes, I gave into the Waterworks base suggestion too...)

Looking good girls!

Panic...

Yeah,
All thats needed is the gang name. Although You can go ahead and fill out your starting gang when ever you want, now or later. And make as many changes as you like before you get started.
I think arbitorIan needs to find your gang name and send you an invite to smog city!

You can make change whenever you want to your gang members as its basically a digital gang sheet that you and the other campaign members can view. Honor system applies

Once you get the invite you can check out ArbitorIans WasteLadies and my Cultists. Fifties gang is also there but it's his old gang and I think needs reseting.

Any other Londoners fancy joining in?
5 gangs so far now that Notprops sneekies and Sharazads smellies are in production!

Panic...

yeah,
Bank Holiday Monday at Work Yayyy!
On the upside I got a few more hours done.

++ The Cult of Dirt ++
The gang members have all been rebased to the waterworks and are about 90% painted!


Just gotta paint the cowls purple and clean up the mistakes... but I'm happy with them they look like a cult/team/gang!

Panic...

yeah,

Thanks Guys!

notprop wrote:Hmmm, and to think I was happy at just getting my undercoating done at the weekend.
It seems I should choose a base edge colour - gang colours appear to be all the rage!

Huzzah for the base coat! paint is paint. and Yes! you should claim your trim colour!

Sharazad also has the waterworks bases! and is planning her gang colours.
Sharazad has put together the zombies and ghouls, plus she just recieved the new style Scavvies in the post.

update!
++ The Cult of Dirt ++

I've picked up a 3 random cawdor blister from GW direct - I got 1 auto gun and 1 shotgun ganger and a nifty Juve..

Beautiful models, these guys will be painted if/when the gang needs them!

aaaaaand I'm pretty much done with these guys!




I got a power sword at the end of the last game, but I'm not converting that until I'm sure the campaign isn't going to get rebooted!

Panic...

yeah,
I think we will get the campaign actually running in a month or so once Not prop and Sharazad have made their gangs.


++ The Cult of Dirt ++

I spent the afternoon taking some photos of my gangers for my Yakromunda sheet.
This gang tracking software is great! Check this out!










Panic...

yeah,

 notprop wrote:
Wow that's a pretty sweet gang roster you've come up with there mate. The format is on Yakromunda you say?

Yup. gangs and weapons summary...
These sheets update when your gang profile is updated, tracking all the stats and skills improvements/injuries and weapons.
So printing this before each game means you have every stat at your finger tips -
All amazingly useful !

 notprop wrote:
Dr Swanson isn't the gang leader? Colour me shocked!

yeah, it had to be Lumbergh, so If you could go ahead a change your opinion, that would be great.

Panic...

yeah,
Bob appears to be holding it...
I'll work out who has it before their next game.

++ The Cult of Dirt ++
++Game Report++

The cult of dirt hear gun fire, they creep close to see members of the serpents embrace and the Heroines getting personnel.

Lumbergh signals his men to get into position to ambush the losers!
They are crawling through tunnels and vents to get close, But full back-up arrives for the Serpents Embrace.

Lumbergh's fire teams get into position as the first shots are fired by the Serpents, dropping samir with a nasty chest wound.

And Bob Porter gets bathed in flames!
Samir coughs up blood and goes out of action, Gibbons is outraged, he strides into the open blasting at the heavy stubber serpent knocking him to the ground.
Lumbergh drops the flamer carrying serpent, and Bob Slydel puts a bullet in his head to be sure!


Portwood and Boltons Gun nest comes under heavy Fire and they both go out of action!
Bobs charred corpse rolls over..
With four guys down Lumbergh's has had enough and calls a retreat!
Worst Ambush ever!

Bob dies from his burns and Samirs chest injury reduces his toughness...

To restore gang moral Lumbergh hires a new juve.
'Yeeaah if you could go ahead and tell them your name is Bob, that's be great!'

Gang updated..
Panic...

Yeah,
The heroines and wasteladies need to know..
It's a mans world.

Smog Towns Ultra-Nifty Campaign Summary

.
.
Wait a minute!
I've Been Thinking. I joined this campaign to make creds and feth bitchs.
So far I've done neither...
...It has been advised that I should read a book called 'the game'.

Panic...

yeah,
The Cult of Dirt crashed into the WasteLadies at a eerie green Chem Zone!




The First Gas cloud passes across the waste ladies and dissipates.
Michael Bolton, Port wood and Samir, use the vents to take up positions on top of the storage tanks.


The first exchange of fire sees Lumbergh And Milton Pinned.
Bob Slydell gets clipped on the side of the head and goes out of action.

Portwood and Samir wound two Wasteladies, but the shooting causes their guns jam in the cold.

Lumbergh and Milton get back on their feet and The WasteLadies charge in!

Dr swanson watches in horror as Lumberg is sliced in two by Chelsea and Miltons skull is smashed in by Johnny Big Arms.
The Cult Bottle it!

Bob Slydell also Dies from His gunshot wound.

.
..
Lumbergh Dead!
Milton Dead!
Bob Slydell Dead!
What a disaster!


Dr SwansonPeter Gibbons Takes over as head of the Cult!
He buys a new Juve with a Club and auto pistol and names him 'Nu Bob S'
The gang has taken a beating... Zero game wins yet!
Gang value drops to 630... and rating bombs to 929 :sadface:



Panic...

yeah,
Gotcha - Peter Gibbons is now my Leader!

Panic...

yeah,
moved to the new page!
Panic...

yeah,
moved game report from the bottom of page 5!
...

I played against TomCarters Heroines yesterday! We played on ArbitorIans excellent industrial terrain (que more green blue tinting on my photos )
We also used canals, dice deciding that the green goo is sticky halving movement, but is otherwise safe... but probably best not to drink it.

We played the Loot mission, 6 bits of loot on the board.


The Girls rush in claiming 3 of the 6 Loot markers!
They also have an Infiltrator at the center of the board who grabs Their fourth loot counter!


Cult of Dirt arrive via tunnels to get near a loot counter and Drop in from Vents to take up firing positions on top of the central tanks.

Samir climbs a tower to provide covering fire for the nu-Bobs as they grab our second loot counter.

The Girls start their rush but are shot at by Michael Bolton and Peter Gibbons as they retreat.
The Heroines are also peppered with support fire from above. at the end of the 4th turn Two girls are out of action and another down!
However the Heroines have shot Michael Bolton, and he ends up face down in the green waters of the Canal!

The Heroines fail a bottle test and run off, taking with them their 4 claimed bits of Loot!
Game Over.
The Cult of Dirt Win their first game but only managed to grab 2 bits of Loot!

Michael Bolton is dragged out of the water onto the canal bank, but he's been in there too long and Peter Gibbons can't revive him... Another victim of the under-hive.
(I've gotta stop rolling 1's post game!)

Regardless The gang go to town to celebrate their first Win and toast their dead,
Almost everyone ranks up a new skill because of the underdog bonus huzzah!
And the icing on the cake, the Cult manages to impress the locals and pick up a free Juve! - Nu-Mike B who is bought a Autogun.
Finally because Portwood's heavy stubber keeps jamming, Peter buys him a lasgun as a backup weapon.
