It's no secret its just working through some idea's and model pieces, wondered what your thoughts were and any idea's you can think of.

I will take some pics of the things I am thinking of using to give you an idea, then you can give me your feedback and thoughts if thats cool

I would never expect you to keep your gob shut ……… I think you are incapable of it LOL

Cool just got to find the dam camera, don't forget some stuff will be in early work stages or just in their original state ready for converting.

It really will be a case of showing pieces and giving you my general idea, then you can give me some feedback as wether yes it works or no it don't ,or even yes but have you thought or erm maybe try this or how a bouts or have you got a, well you see what I mean

I will start by giving you a break down of the units/gangs I am looking at making for this project, and a little fluff to explain why and where this is heading maybe one day make a versatile game from this LOL

We will start with the basics after stripping the planet of resources and over population of the planet world war broke out, fighting for the remaining resources of earth and financial control, every nation turned to extreme measures to succeed.
This lead to mass bio warfare, environmental pollution and nuclear war, the result of this was catastrophic this caused vast waste lands to be born, water shortage, environmental destabilisation, nuclear winters, mass war and terrorism, food shortages, and finally mutation and the birth of the infection.

Although governments tried to maintain control and rebuild anarchy broke out, governments were dissolved and the military took control of what was left although they were stretched due to the lack of resources available.
Nations fell and chaos engulfed the world, seas receded the world became a mass of barren land continents became one, this created a new order groups fighting to dominate and control others wanting to create a new democracy and cure or at least rid the world of the infection.

Small societies lead by military leaders began to surface providing a safe life behind walled compounds with controlled environments , others created new cities and new governments but within their own walls life began to resemble something of the past .

However between these safe havens lies the dust lands uninhabited masses where nothing grows or lives, or does it ?

Some claim to have seen gangs living on the outskirts of the new societies, choosing to reside out side the controlled cities and to wreak havoc upon those who venture out side the safety of there walls.

These are made up of human misfits, drug users, religious fanatics the outcasts of nations, these live a life of no rules but their own no control they are lead by those feared the most with no respect for life or those wishing to retain it.
They are only fuelled by abuse, destruction, chemicals high, torment, torture and mass murder, they survive only from taken what they want when they want and by whatever means.

As you venture further into the uninhabitable lands we find other life among us, known as the children of Bio war "Mutants" mans miss creation, defects born from genetical corruption varying in the slight to the extreme.
Mutants covers a vast range of genetical anemones and forms of mutation, although many have been seen and recorded ( and used for experimental investigation ) the total amount of mutants and the extent of their mutations is unknown.

Finally the last of the forms of life left to roam this world although life is something these creatures don't posses, "The Infected" the final damnation to inhabit the earth.
Some religious groups say this is the wrath god that he raised the dead to take vengeance upon us, some people think it is the cause of pollution or a bacterial virus.

The truth be told no one actually knows what this is, some believe it is a mutated Virus others think it some kind of more evolved mutation.
One thing the medical profession and Bio specialist agree is that the Infected seem to be in form dead like state, there internal organs work in a restricted state and their bodies seem to be in a degree of decay.
They seem to survive by feeding on human flesh and blood and are driven by an intense rage and need to feed, although limited brain functions their drive to feed gives them an erratic and uncontrollable sense of power and strength.

We have also noticed a new species of infected that seem to be evolving, they seem to have increased power and movement and more brain function along with a knowledge to learn and adapt.
However these have been few in numbers and only in the deeps of the dust lands, all though their have been sightings of them moving close to the societies boundaries but not confirmed.

The Infected hold the biggest threat to survival rate with in these lands, new cases of attacks and infection spreading daily even with the on going battle fort by man.
Will man survive, who will prevail.

So thats the fluff

Now for the gang breakdowns :

HIOU-Hazardous Infection Outbreak Unit :
These were the first line of defence against the Infection, made up of the new societies Police Force their job to capture, quarantine the infected and dispose.
These units sustained high mortality rates mainly due to poor organisation and lack of training, this was later remedied by giving the unit special training and the enrolment of ex military special forces unit leader.
Also each unit was assigned a military Biochemist that accompanied the team on all duties, their job is to record any contact with the infected take samples and to deal with the disposal and make sure all procedures are followed.


Spec Ops :
These are the best the military has to offer in the new world, made up of the best military specialist from around the world combining all techniques, technology and weaponry.
These guys have the best training and arsenal to hand including highly armoured tactical off road vehicles, their sole purpose is to defend the cities and there resources from any invader.
On top of this they are trained in Bio warfare and hold a vast knowledge of the infected and mutants, this unit is the decision makers of the cities any protocol or action has to be authorised by them first and last.
Also known as the gate keepers.

More to follow

I like It, but It's missing that, I don't know how to explain this, that Xfactor (I don't mean singers all alike on a stage).
It's missing that touch of originality, It's very like Fall Out New Vegas in a lot of things.
It's not a bad thing, but I think that You can do better with our help

I think it needs more rivets...

Rivets fix most things

Well not bad considering I have never played Fallout though There will be plenty of rivets how could there not be LOL

To be honest I was only going to write a break down of gangs, then I started to write and got a bit carried away ok it aint Shakespeare but it gives you an idea of the direction I am going.

I will add more break downs of the gangs as I go but I cant be arse at the moment, these breakdowns are to explain the minis I will be constructing shortly and their look.

But please feel free to give feedback good or bad, as to help me develop this further

well the first thing i noticed while reading... your writing has a nice rhythm...no pun intended here...

i am feeling not really a FO vibe here... more like Tank Girl or mad max with the odd bit of 24 hours later thrown in...

i think you are onto something cool here... but with the fluff and all and the two gang descriptions i am still not sure what you are aiming for?

your true aim needs to be revealed... is it a bit of a game with the ring of necromunda you are going for? or are you more trying to work yourself towards something like a tabletop version of a first person shooter game "like" FO?

that is the main stuff you need to point out... other than that i am enjoying everything so far... so don´t hesitate to drop more onto our screens

Thanks Vik you were the one I expected to rip it apart LOL

To be honest I was trying to form a reason to build all the models I want, but some how keeping a connection between them as for the story it wrote it self to be honest

I was just going to write backgrounds to units, all of a sudden this little background story jumped into my head which to be fare has been stolen from several films, books and comics influence.

Good call on tank girl only watched that about a month ago makes sense where that creeped up from, to be honest there are only so many ways you can create a back ground for this type of world scenario.

Once I have some more time and idea's it will progress, first up will be more gangers then the mutants, last but no way least THE INFECTED !!!!!!

It's sourcing the models at the moment I am trying to work with models I own (plus make use of the stuff I have collected ) that way I get you off my back about building and making stuff , I prove to the misses that I am using the stuff , last but not least I make something (I hope) call looking

So any idea's and feedback would much appreciated

*SCREAMS MORE* ... tis scary

Nice to hear the idea behind characters though, gives them a bit more meat xxx

Yes they like meat preferably human flesh, Dark haired female uni students in particular hmm got an idea HA HA HHA HAHAH A CHOMP

well... i have a thing going on for post apocalyptic settings... to i know many games and lots of movies about that genre... throw in the odd "infected"/zombie... and it will 9 out of ten always turn up cool...

we have little ideas about what YOU specifically own... you are on most news and rumors threads here on dakka^^ and it seems you have a gigantic suply of bitz to play with... so we are on a loss here

i think after you told us about the more "good guys" it is now high time to show us about the ruthless... the gangs that scour the badlands... there is high potential...

will you use orky stuff for mutants? i think that would be a good way to get different looking models done... mixing human and ork body parts could also produce quite some cool looking misfits... like that poor sod of mad max blaster...

Yes to be fair if it is guard related I will by it LOL no I have a little stash we aint talking Dave level here by any stretch of the imagination but a fare few things to work from

What my plan is to provide corresponding models to the gangs description, then listen to feedback and idea's and continue on to the next gang.

I will be adding a couple more gangs back grounds soon, but I don't want to go to far in front and loose interest this way i have background for 4 groups at a time, allowing me a continues work flow but keeping my interest at the same time.

Ork parts will be used for some mutations also chaos spawns will come into play, however the mutations will be varied from the mildest looking to the in your face concepts however all mutants have one thing in common but we will save that for a later date

The other thing is some gangs will be issued with vehicles of which will be varying sizes and descriptions, although I cant see anything larger than tanks to be included I like the idea of small fast attack vehicles as the cities provide the sanctuary and protection.

As for the gangers of the outer bounds regions they use a crude self produced fuel, while volatile it is also limited, for this reason most gangs only poses a small hold of vehicles but what they have they use to their best ability.

I don't know if mutants will be provided with vehicles of the mechanical type,but I do think they will be issued with a wind ground based vehicle

I hope that helps some

Also an ogre will be around here somewhere as well

The mutants could use mutated animals as vehicles as welll.
I see them riding a giant lizard with horns that run fast as a motorbike or the rino looking ani.mals of the ogre....
Just my two cents.

That is a thought I did kind of have an idea like this but due to an issue with the mutated it would have not worked, but using the idea that the wildlife that has survived have a form of mutation might work

Good idea might have to work with that at a later date, as the muties will be one of the last groups to go into production, only because they will incur me spending money

But keep the idea's coming all will be logged for future thought, I can see we are edging into Star Wars universe now next you will be mentioning Dewbacks LOL OWWWW thats and idea

I should explain that there will be more than 1 group of mutants, as I see it the mutants will be of varying degrees of mutation and derive from different backgrounds.
Also some mutants will how should we say have a more human appearance as others will take on a more monstrous form.

But you got me thinking now

Also if you have any ideas of bitz or manufacturers for the mutie parts feel free to let me know or post pics

ha... well firstly... you could also add kroot parts in the mix too...

i see it that not only humans turned mutie is a possibility... you could always go the other route and say you have muties from animals... dogs or lizards or bug-like stuff...giant cockroaches...

as for the tank idea... i think in the post apocalyptic setting there will be a chronic shortage of gas... thus i think the big thirsty vehicles are a no go...... i see more speedy buggies in various builds... and for the lulz a gas truck... like in mad max...like a driving fortress...many possibilities...

and as for the muties riding in back of other lifeforms... what about riding on other bipeds? again like master and blaster???

and a common link to all mutants? horns maybe?


cheers, vik

Vik made me think about the fuel shortage, I agree with that to a certain point.
I think that the little areas where infected waters and oil rigs are still in place can be used to power some vehicles, the main problem is that they are in the wastelands and maybe the "oasis" where muties and alike set their "villages".
In the new city areas I see an high degree of fast sun powered or nuclear powered vehicles that are useful for raids, but with a short time of autonomy.

hmmm.... sunlight powered cars.... interesting... tho that needs quite advanced tech abilities...

also i could see a nice piece of terrain where an oil rig is surrounded by fence... with watch towers and HMG´s...

Yes, turning on the wind powered land vehicles Ldd was talking about, I think that a kind of sun sail could use both powers at once.

it would certainly look interesdting to say the least...

Hey guys read the fluff I did mention fuel shortage,I also mentioned small light armoured off road vehicles.
If you had read the fluff propaly you would have noticed the reference to a crude based home made fuel used by the out-bounders

Also I am thinking land sailed vehicles due to the high wind and common storms, as for the largest vehicle would be a tank that would belong to the cities as they have more resources available to them.

But they would still be in very limited numbers and only used for close combat, after all as we mentioned the fuel ain't there.
I like the solar power idea but I feel most of my gangers don't have this knowledge available to them, however I can see a more intelligent gang evolving more knowledgeable and equipped. so that is now logged.

At the moment I don't want the mutations to deter to much from the human form, so Kroots are a bit of no go at the moment maybe if this progresses further I might consider it later.

Master blaster idea is all ready in there it's a classic touch that I can't even think about leaving out, hence the mention of the ogre earlier post

Have to say love the ideas and support keep it coming guys much appreciated, mind you vik scenery will have to wait for a while LOL

If you ate bubbles, you wouldn't have any girls reading your thread LDD.
