edit: hi, This place will hold all of my Nceromunda related things suspect terrain, models, batreps, etc,...
edit: pictures are in later posts, scroll down.

I started a necromunda campaign in our local gw (already 5 players) and after seeing some cool kroot models to represent a gang, I want to make some rules for them. something a la ratskin-ish. it's gonna be a bit different though, theres going to be more different types of gang members based upon the kroot merc list in chapter approved 2004. beforeget on with it i wanna know if this is gonna be a good idea, so tell me. I'm also going to need some advis how to realize this. I'm hoping you all will help me on this adventure.

edit: this thread will also contain all the rest what has to do with Necromunda, so stay tuned.

Why not just count them as one of the existing gangs. Count biological mutations as wargear. e.g. Wings = Grav-chute.

Kroot hounds could be Juves with close combat weapons.

I have a WIP Eldar pirate gang that counts as an Escher gang.

yeah.... but no. I realy want to make home rules for them.

first update: the classes

-Shaper(the leader)
-Chosen (the heavy)
-Carnivore ( the normal gangers)
-Unblooded one ( the juves)

special types with special rules
-Tracker (a sniper kroot, only he will get acces to the kroot hunting rifle)
-Kroot hound handler (he is going to have the same rules as the cyber mastif as in the enforcers)
-headhunter (something like The Predator in Aliens vs Predator

and maybe:
-Kroot Vultures (the flying brothers of normal kroot!)

some classes are based upon the kroot merc list from chapter aproved 2004 wich you can download for free from the net

so what do y'all think c&c welcome

the costs of the gang members is going to be the same as with the others. As for the kroot only classes, i'm not sure i'm going to include them in a starter gang, it's better i think if they earn that name with the accompanying special rules by earning enough exp
for those who don't remeber the usual costs
-Shaper 120 credits
-Warrior (or carnivore) 50 credits
-Chosen 60 credits
-Unblooded one 25 credits

to prove i'm serious with this adventure i painted up the first model( warrior or carnivore, wich was orrigianaly part of my Tau army) as a test model. I'll post a picture of him later this week.

good, overpowered or underpowered?

How long have you been playing Necro?

i am playing my fourth campaign but played around 30 games

What gang have you been using so far?
And do you have any of the other outlander gangs (Ash nomads or orks for example) rules?

I played with delaques in all four campaigns and i do have rules for redemption, ratskins, enforcers, and scavies.

Those are the ones on the GW website.
There are others. (like Ork). try finding them and give them a read so you have more ideas. (EG how orks recruit)

I'll do that, but the kroot list will be based upon the ratskins with aditional teritories, special kroot only weopons, new skills, etc...

ok then. Just thought you should check these out for ideas on how other people have added races to necro.

will do
thanks for the advice

well, as promised, some pictures of my test kroot and as a bonus all of my converted delaques ( don't have much, converting goes too slow, untill i have converted enough, i use fitting models)

woooh! got overexcited and started painting up a second kroot.

special rules on the kroot rifle and the hunting rifle

kroot rifle: -blades: a kroot armed with a kroot rifle counts as having an extra knife in close combat

hunting rifle doesn't benefit from this.

special rules: playing with a kroot gang
-outlawed: when any gang of one of the six houses of necromunda captures a kroot ganger, they may choose to turn them in to the guilder. The ransom of a captured kroot is equal to the cost + exp of the kroot ganger(excluding his weapons. weapons go in the stash of the opposing gang. kroot only weapons count as destroyed because these weapons are seen as hot items. possession of alien weapons is illegal)
Kroot can only have 1 territory at a time. their starting territory is a settlement(because kroot live in family groups), and when offered a new territory, the may choose to abandon their old territory and use the new one. they can't have more than 1

-So many mouths to feed: any gang members who didn't work at the gangs territory or who did not search for rare items must go foraging each gang members earns an additional d6+1 credits. al gang members need 4 credits worth of food stuffs. after calculating your total income, you need to feed your gang(for example 10 gang members need 40 credits to feed). the rest of the money goes directly in to the gangs stash, it's simply the amount they earn.

-carnivores: kroot can choose to feed on captives. a captive is worth equal to -> victims strength x toughness x wounds.

-> after the last 2 rules any remaining credits goes directly in the gangs stash and can be used as you like.



here you go another update, now seriously, c&c wanted.

Hey Scrazza. I dig the kroot implementation into the Hive - a few points with your last post though.

I don't think the "rifle with a bayonet counts as a bayonet" rule will float with other players, solely because when you are fighting with the bayonet on your rifle it's a two hand job to hold the rifle and make stabbing strokes. If the rifle was jammed or out of commission it could be assumed that the kroot has shouldered the rifle and removed the bayonet and is running about with dual knives.

Convert the kroot weapons to weapons in the hive, this helps the people you play against (as I will change tactics based on the what weapons I am moving towards) and additionally people often sell captives so they can keep their stuff - and the fact that they cannot use a lasgun equivalent because it's not from the hive is sure to cause a frackus.

The territory idea means that a few games in you will start to go head to head with gangs that have much more capital than you (and sonsequently better toys) due to the fact they can run all their territories. If the kroot can be hired by the tau they understand the concept of commerce, and consequently extortion and trading aren't too far behind. The kroot gang should be able to run territories as any other gang, and perhaps have a few new alternatives such as "larder" instead of settlement, the larder is a trench where pit slaves bodies are thrown after losing their bouts in colleseums, and on a roll of 6 you get a new kroot juve who is birthed from the fleshy mass. (for the record, I know nothing of kroot or their geneaolgy I am thinking they are similar to "prawns" from district 9)

Same again for the "so many mouths to feed" rule, as this will cripple your ability to buy nice toys from rare trade and standard armory.

I'd stick with the core rules regarding post battle sequences, and don't be in a rush to submit a gang to outlawed rulesets - as there will be plenty of time for those rules once some snivelling bastard sooks and gets your gang outlawed. As for skills I'd branch of Escher - kroot seem to have the same sort of ferocity, agility and combat skills going on as the femme fatales.

I am looking forward to seeing a kroot heavy stubber. truly, I am.

Your initial kroots look quite promising, I'd suggest you look up ghosty as he is doing a similar project.

oke I agree about the outlawed rules, it would be more fun without being outlawed. and i also think it's a good idea letting them have 5 territories, i could make special kroot based territories.

I don't think the "rifle with a bayonet counts as a bayonet" rule will float with other players, solely because when you are fighting with the bayonet on your rifle it's a two hand job to hold the rifle and make stabbing strokes. If the rifle was jammed or out of commission it could be assumed that the kroot has shouldered the rifle and removed the bayonet and is running about with dual knives.

well, the tau codex has some rules about the kroot, one of them says that they gain an extra attack because of being armed with the kroot rifle( actualy they count as having an extra close combat weapon) ( well' i thought i read that in the tau codex, i could have read it elsewhere)

Convert the kroot weapons to weapons in the hive, this helps the people you play against (as I will change tactics based on the what weapons I am moving towards) and additionally people often sell captives so they can keep their stuff - and the fact that they cannot use a lasgun equivalent because it's not from the hive is sure to cause a frackus.

bacause the outlawed ideas are now in the garbage bin, the rules on selling captured kroot to the guilder and that thing about kroot only weapons are now ignored

the so many mouths to feed rules will be thrown away

but, i'm still going to make rules for a kroot gang, their simply to cool to be played as esher, they just need their own rules imo

Your initial kroots look quite promising, I'd suggest you look up ghosty as he is doing a similar project.

well, thanks, the pic is blurry though, i'll try to make a new pic, I already painted up a second kroot ,too
And i Checked Ghosties thread, looks cool.
I WILL make a kroot with a heavy stubber once, but first i'm going to make a kroot with a flamer, imo that's the most awesome conversion.

well as the new name says, everything that has to do with necromunda( this includes campaigns, terrain, pics of gangs, batreps etc...) first off is some background on the current campaign, we have 6 gangs, 3 Van Saar's ( I know, i Know) a cawdor, my delaque and another player who hasn't decided yet.

Wow that was a lot of typing , any changes will be eddited here, as im 'too lazy to type it multiple times, so check this regularly after each batrep.
I wil post some batreps later on( played 3, won 3, whooohooo!)


Automatically Appended Next Post:
so, what do you think?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
oke so here is the 1st batrep, it's a while ago, but i will try to remember(fluff style)

gang fight

The Crooked Vultures reckoned that the Van Saar gang, the Fast Frankies, had a settlement too close to their borders, and so they went on and clashed with the Frankies for control for Bloodshot Town. Vakos, Iarol, Mar and Krew took up positions in an old ruin on the east, while Mak and the rest of the boys got ready to get down for a fight on the west side. fortunately and unfortunately the Vultures shooty part deployed against the fighty part of the frankies and my fighty part was up against his shooty part. It should be mentioned that the 2 parts of the town were divided by a road wich provided no cover. all the buildings were packed close together and so provided good cover

Frankies got the initiative, moved his fighty part towards the road. his heavy took some potshots but missed. i did the same, but my heavy didn't have a line of sight to anyone yet. before the fighting started we had to cross the road, which was a very bloody affair. His heavy was the only one who had hit something and scratched my leader( booo!), only losing his left ear, and got partially deafened, but still went out of action.My shooty parts were a bit more effective. Vakos gunning a juve down, and delivering a flesh wound to Franky (gang leader). Iarol also delivered a juve a flesh wound.

Third turn was bloody, too. after crossing the road, both sides prepared to get in close with each-others shooty parts. the Frankies in my side of town were still a 2 turns away, but my lads, now under the watchfull eye of Spark, the right hand of Mak, got ready to assault next turn. two juves tried to outflank the shooty Frankies, and Spark and the rest taking cover behind a statue. Vakos and the rest shot at the oncoming Frankies and Vakos managed to give another 2 flesh wounds to his gang leader, and Krew got him out of action. Mar downed a juve too. the remaining Frankies in my part of town, 2 juves and a ganger were cowering behind a now with bullet hole riddled wall. On Frank's side, a shotgun armed ganger shot at Markel of my outflanking juves and downed him( booooo!) and the other juve(Amsel) fled back towards cover.

fourth turn. Spark and the lads assaulted his boys. Spark taking out a ganger and Isaac taking down a lasgun ganger. Vakos and the rest continued shooting at the pinned Frankies, taking a downed ganger out of action. a Franky juve shot down Mar, taking him out of action. ( )
The fighting escalated, no casualties on the Vultures But the Frankies losed another 2 men(ooa)

The Frankies decided to bottle out, after losing 5 members. The vultures won, Al Vultures were happy, except Mak, mourning about his left ear
Mak was the only real casualty on my side only being partially deaf. Casualties on the Frankies were greater. Franky got Impressive scars( how ironically) a juve was also partially deaf, another juve got an old battle wound, and I managed to capture Papo, now working in my mines(hehehe ) this said, the Crooked Vultures took over Bloodshot Town, earning their third settlement. The Frankies weren't seen for a long time, probably brewing a sneaky plan.

pics of Bloodshot town, though the game was played 2 weeks before, the terrain never changed. most terrain is from cities of death, so i need to create a lot more fitting terrain.

Nice terrain!

thanks, though I'm still not happy with some things.

I'm going to play a few games today, so expect some batreps and changes in the gang roster.

I look forward to it

I played 4 times in a row against a VAn Saar gang with the name of Freebootiers(yes pronounce it in french)


1st game of the day was a blits I was the attacker. i got Mak, Vakos,Krew and Spark. he got his gang leader (Halvor) and two heavies with heavy stubbers. I infiltrated Spark and he took out 1 of the heavies. but second turn was bad for me. his leader(ws6) toook Spark out of action. (:() but that bought me enough time to position the rest good enough, so Vakos could shoot the water still, wounding it and ending the game. his heavy got up, so no serious injury for him. Spark had to make a roll though....... full recovery. pfhew...

second game was bad for me. it was a gang fight. i had to set up 1st? he put his heavies on the right place, but only 1 could shoot. he shot....... hit...and.... my front row of 3 juves, the second row of a juve and a ganger all went down. then i got my shooty parts up on a balkony and shot down at his gang leader and accompanying gangers and juves. a juve went down, a ganger too, and IAROL MANNAGED TO take down Halvor. then i decided to bottle. it had been enough. I lost and 1 juve, Pine was dead for good. his leader got horrible scars though.

game 3 was a scrag. again a defeat for me. Spark and Mar infiltrated behing his 4 men. Iarol and Krew gave covering fire, while Mak and Markel assaulted down a walkway. I got the target down but not out of action. Spark managed to get 1 of his other gangers out of action too. but then Halvor saw him and cut him down. again, Spark went out of action. then his heavy downed Krew, and i decided it had been enough and i bottled. Spark got impressive scars and krew had a full recovery.

Game 4 was another gang fight. Once again i lost this game.it was mostly a gun fight, because i didn't dare attacking with my close combat group as he had put his 2 heavies on the only way in to his building. So my shooty parts had a gunfight with his shooty parts. it lasted 11 turns, with almost everybody in my shooty group and his went down, and got back up. we had to start taking bottle test from turn 6 though and both sides were determined to win. in the end my gang failed their bottle test. Iarol managed to take down his leader a further 2 times (whooh) and downd another 3 men, the rest also had their part.

overall, it was a fun day, the freebootiers lost a ganger, got 2 arm wounds, and some scars, and the only thing i had was impressive scars and i had lost Pine, bless his young dirty minded life. after the 4 games i bhought a second heavy with a flamer. next time their hiding in a building this will get them out. got a lot of credits, a lot of rare items and i invented 3 items, most of it still in my stash. Hope you enjoyed reading. (sorry no pics, forgot to bring the camera)

oh, i haven't mentioned it, we have few house rules. the rulebook says that you loose the equipment of killed members, we ignore this rule, any equipment of gangers lost in action for good, goes back in your stash, as your gang members cary them back, this rule does not apply to heavy weapons, only heavies are strong enough to cary heavy weapons. they can't carry a second heavy weapon back to their camp as his own weapon is heavy enough for him.

with battles where you can steal territory from your opponent, we use the following house rules. roll a dice, the one who threw highest is the attacker, the attacker the throw a dice and sees on the defenders territory table the roll is equal to the territory next to that number(works the same as in the rulebook). that's the territory you will be fighting over. in this way you can set up the terrain as to best represent that kind of territory. we just use this rule for fluff reasons

what do you think?

I just began converting a guardsmen to Boris, and started painting Krew. I would love some c&c though...

another quick update, some wip on Krew and Boris. I also painted mak's power sword but that's not worth posting. Now seriously, c&c wanted Tell me what do you think of them. especially for Boris.

yesterday i finished on Krew and build a scummer with knife, lasgun and plasma pistol.
Today, i went to a local war-games store, and bought the rulebook of Urban War: Stike team actions. + 2 blisters of triad retainers(that's 8 models for 18.00 euros) and a blister of 5 militia models which i will use for Necromunda. the triad retainers will also be used for Necromunda and for Urban War. does anybody here play Urban War? and an someone explain the game in general? because I still need to read the book. I won't be posting batreps for a while as I'm not going to play for a long time. (exams and all that ****) still some pictures. will post pictures of the triad retainers when i assembled them.

been painting a bit today (besides homework) Painted up the 1st of the Triad Retainers. c&c welcome.

From what i can see they are looking quite good !

If you are looking for more comments better photos is the way forward especially for a P&M blog, people want to be able to comment on something they can see clearly.

That way they can decide if they like it or not.
Try using paper for a blank background, to help the camera focus on your models and not the background.

Cheers
Wolf

Triad retainers eh?.....

i think i might grab some.

Hey scazza, just found your blog, impressed with your persistance in posting with so little response, well done!

Got to agree iwth wolf though, I can't see your figs clearly!

Oh and count yourself lucky you have so many munda players at your FLGS, I havent managed to convert one single player from 40k to Munda in my club!

Will be watching your blog with interest, keep it up!

I think some of those Urban War models looks good. Can't really tell though.

Pllace a pice of white paper in behind the model before you take a pic, it means the camera will focus on the model rather than the background.

Also if your camera has a macro feature, turn it on.
Its hard to offer constructive criticism ATM as so many models are out of focus.

well thanks for the advice on using a camera, it could be my bad photographing skills or just the camera. Well' a new camera won't be arriving soon because the camera is my dad's ( and he's like"I won't buy a new one until when it's totally wrecked")

@Ghosty: you definably got to check out their site, their are a lot of great sculpts.

@ The Dreadnote: oh common, the last few pics are a BIT clearer.( right?)

I'll try to find the instruction booklet on how to turn on the macro feature ( or better:" where's that button?)

here you go. Got some work finished, a model from the Urban War Militia. I painted him up as a civilian, factory worker. here are the rules made by me, yet to be playtested) on using civilians in your games

hope the picture is clearer to you guys.

MUUUUCH clearer. and freehand on its back is pretty sweet.

Thats the stuff , clear as a bell!

LOL, now go back and take all your pics again

@Ghosty: thanks!

Looking good, are you using a wash or just highlighting?

Nice work, I like 'em.

The green hair works really well on that last model.

Not sure how you hide in the underhive ina fluro yellow trenchcoat!

@blackgand: i'm using both

@The dreadnote: thanks

@Waaagh_Gonads: thanks. that would be a problem for him, but i just wanted to paint something yellow. That is my 1st try at painting something yellow other than small wires or something.

update: finished another Triad retainer. I think I'll use some of them as enforcers. I only need to buy more triads to represent different kinds of enforcers. c&c welcome.

Stuff looks great! try using the macro setting on the camera if you want better close ups

thanks for the advice. :-)

clearer pics of 2 finished Kroot gangers.
c&c welcome.

finished up some terrain today. It's an oil storage silo. (or whatever) The next terrain project will either be a pub or a tattoo shop. c@c welcome.(model for scale purpose.)

.

Whine less. While your terrain piece is certainly functional, it lacks detail.

The Dreadnote wrote:Whine less.

haha, I agree

as for the terrain, I'll try adding a barrel or a poster here or there.

Hey, with the clearer pictures i can actually see something!! Models are looking good, i especially like the kroot, that's some really nice painting there.

Perhaps you need to add some secondary pipes, wires and maybe some rubble on the bottom, just to jazz it up a bit more. You have a good start there though.

Keep on posting, in time more people will comment, honest!

thank you Vitruvian XVII. I'll do the bases later on. but thanks for the tip.

time for another update. A new Delaque ganger with lasgun or autogun with silencer.

Vitruvnian, who is this!!

Nice work on the delaque. I think you could do with a bit of shading in the cloak, either a wash of devlan and then a rehighlight or painting a darker colour into the recesses. imho of course!

Vitruvian XVII wrote:Vitruvnian, who is this!!

sorry, edited.
thanks for the good advice, I just wanted to paint him up quickly.

Excellent use of pop can in your last terrain. I loved Necromunda, but no one in the area plays or wants to play. I also enjoy your batreps, understandable but brief.

Keep up the good work and clear photography!

thanks for the comments. thumbs up

oh feth. just as I wanted to take some pics of my progress, the batteries went dead. People waiting for an update just have to wait for tomorrow.

As promised, an update. I decided it was time to put more height in our games and so I constructed some terrain. more will follow, because 2 is not enough. Any ideas how to spice them up? I've only painted 1 but it looks a bit boring.

It looks pretty good, may i suggest some ladders, wiring and pipes (drinking straws?). Hopefuly that will make it look more industrial.

You've got a nice metal effect going on there!

ah thanks for the advice. ;D

No problem at all, I still find it difficult to make my scratch-builds detailed enough.

I find the best thing to do is save whatever random junk you can from around the house. You never know when that one piece is just perfect!!

agreed. I'm saving up on empty coca cola cans just to make this kind of terrain. And I definably got to open my junk box once (but first I have to find it. )

For those who want to help me with the terrain, here is the link to the topic i've opened


http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/297663.page

update time, another model(don't know for what it could be used yet.) and an update on the terrain, I've spiced it up a bit. Does the terrain look better yet(the green tubing still needs to be painted)

Thats certainly looking more interesting!

As long as you change the details on the next one i'd say you're golden!

the details? what details should I add? except some tubing , wires and some propaganda here and there?

I like the rusty effect on the can!

Just wondering, where did you get the propaganda?

Sorry, its pretty obvious but i just meant don't make the next one a carbon copy! Sorry for the bad communication

@Charlo: I got it from the net.
@Vitruvian XVII: aaaah, oke

there won't be a lot of big updates lately, as my exams are starting next week. But I will be painting a bit and when I finished another model, I'll sure post it here. But don't expect daily updates for a time.

Scrazza great (and much) work!
played some games with Jarl
We are working on zombie horde rules! (pretty nasty... headplosions!)... but a bit hard (zombie movement takes a lot of time because their numbers are between 20-30) were thinkin of vehicles but wich vehicle is agile (and not too heavy) to move around in hive prime?
also made a new yuve (thats a BIG fella)
still got no net at home (those lazy providers!) but ill find a way
Halvor (....and Jarl)

hey Hendaron! can't wait to play against you. It's a tie between our 2 gangs(3-3) Next time i'll be beating you. Revenge for Pine! perhaps use the rules for buggies and warbikes (from ork codex). can't wait to play the zombie hordes. The freebootiers are realy catching up on my gang. what was your gang rating? and that of Jarl?

No updates today. only painted up a corsair of Umbar for my LOTR army.

again, painted up another corsair. (I just want to keep this thread going.)

hey I forgot I had these laying around. I will be using them for my upcoming scavvy gang. Yes i am working on all gangs a bit, especially delaque. the green-ish ones are just models from my traitor guard army( I thought they were fitting) (c&c welcome)

Hehe, love that poster, got to put it on some of my terrain.

Scavvies look pretty cool!

Damn! i dont check up on this for a couple of days, and...this.

First of all, I love your kroot paint scheme, so tribal, so neat.....*mouth salivates*

Your terrain in beautiful, and lavished with some pretty awesome propoganda. About that, is that a world war 1/2 poster with carapace armour painted on?

The scavvies look promising, but their arms and heads seem a whee bit too big.

The Random ganger that you said you werent sure what to do with him could easily count as a random scummer for example. Loving this thread!

I wish I could see more; are you using a phone?; click the little flower tulip icon on your camera so we can see your eye candy.

@vitruvian: thanks

@Ghosty: thanks, i think the poster is. I got it from the internet. I'll use the random guy as a scummer.

@Baconfat: trying to find the button

just a quick update on terrain.

Hehe, tatoo piercing! I would not like to get anything done in there!

terrain looks good!!

Ok with your camera try taking the pictures a little further back and then zoom in on the model. Depending on the camera you may also be able to change the focus point. Or, if you're feeling brave use a tripod, live view and manually focus like I do. My photos are still a work in progress though and by no means perfect.

Maybe it is the pure blood in me but I am a little anti non codex gangs. One of the reasons being Fluff - how do you explain a Kroot gang getting to Necroblunda. I am also worried that Home-brew gangs become OP'd quickly through rule creation. I guess the best way of working this out would be to set up a gang and play test them against another new gang rather than introducing them halfway through.

A suggestion for a possible rule, if in H2H and the Kroot put a model OOA, make a d6 roll on a 6 or 1 they feed. and can't do anything for a turn, BUT don't penalise the other gang more than making a roll on the table (insta-kills are harsh) and everyone deserves a turn on the OOA table. Re-roll next turn and so on...

I played Spyers by had a lot more fun playing Cawdor. The Spyers were at first viewed as OP'd but as soon as they incurred much in the way of disabilities quickly suffered.

Your terrain is fab, I love the rust effect, if i were to say anything though it could do with more levles, ladders onto the roofs of buildings and walkways between buildings roofs. (think Fallout 3 and Megaton if you've played it) There's nothing more fun than watching that annoying heavy fall 9 inches after he's knocked off the top having spent the whole game dominating.

With using transports I think there are some rules in CA, or certainly were when there was the Fanatic site. (may still be about online somewhere!)

As to the rules, as long you have fun that is the most important thing, sometimes we'd flex the rules a little cos it'd make for a more interesting game.

Ignore everything I have said if you wish, the bottom line is it is your hobby, have fun with it!

Sorry for the wordy reply, I love necromunda having played it since it first came out.

Edit: So it made sense!

Wow that is amazing. the buildings are awesome.

Anthony D: well the kroot gang project is put off for a while, I'll take them up again when I feel brave enough.
For rules for vehicles, which chapter approved is that? I have the one from 2004, but I'll have to take a look in that book 1st. and no need to apologize for the wordy replies. that kind of replies make this thread very good. and thanks for the link.

thanks for the kind words everyone.

I've finished painting Boris (the heavy with the flamer) I will post a picture when I found the camera (I forgot where I put it)

aaah oke, oh and I intend to build more buildings with multiple levels. But 1st i need to get the basic buildings done.

I haven't been able to check this blog after I first posted on it but now that I have come back I'm thoroughly impressed with what you've shown us. I'm loving your terrain pieces

Thank you Wolf. I found my camera AND the macro function. get ready for some really clear pics. Pics of Boris, the second heavy with flamer( as you can see)

I like the way his base turned out. I'm planning on doing that for all the new necromunda models.

Looks pretty cool.

Are the shades greenstuff?

yes, they are not that good, because my greenstuff skills are bad at the moment, but overall, I'm happy with it.

Nice clear pics! now put them on a peice of white paper and and bend it up behind the model (lean it against something). By having nothing else in the pic the camera is able to focus on the model better.

I'm liking your terrain as well, good terrain really makes a narrative game memorable IMO

oh I found those Vehicle Rules BTW...

http://www.sg.tacticalwargames.net/fanatic/93taw.pdf

If you read the intro it is GW Sanctioned except for the gangs who have rules posted on the SG site

ha oke thanks for the advice BLACKHAND. Oh and thanks for the link Anthony_D, but I can't open it, "page not found"

oke, small update. Greenstuffed another model. Juve with knife stub gun and (makeshift) club

oke I need some ideas. I am planning on making an orlock based Rastafarian gang. All with dreads and some cool clothing. of course some joints shouldn't be missing. for they're weapons, i'm going to model them so they look very antiquated. I'll even add a pirate style blunderbuss and I'll count it as a shotgun. I am still looking for the right parts, any suggestions? I would also like to hear some suitable gang names from you, as I suck at coming up with original names. my 1st try is "Dem Rasta boys" (see, not very original)

Thanks already

do a search for ash wastes

Very nice work all round. I am quite jealous of your new found camera skills, I have the same problem you did. The way you paint your metal terrain is very good. Please could you post a link and possibly some more information on those Urban war and triad models, I really like them.

As to your gang idea, start with these as a base and add weapons maybe?

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod20048

yeah, I was thinking about them too. They should be a good base for conversions. But they are a bit pricy. I belgium that is 30.00 euros, and thats a lot of money. But hey I have to buy them 1 day.

update time. another juve ( with knife and stub gun) and a crate of lasguns (c&c welcome)


Automatically Appended Next Post:
wip

Latest addition's looking good. You're really improving with your GS. Maybe you need to invest in some tools for GS, look up colour shapers, they'll really help you improve even more (plus you won't get fingerprints on models!! )

Love the lasgun crate as well. Is that for Scavenger scenarios?

yes the crates are for scavengers, or the custom scenario I made (link Is in a previous post) I still have to paint the lasguns though.

I'll buy the color shapers later(parents won't let me go anywhere while the exams are busy

Right, for the orlocks, why not scavvy or ash wasters? they seem to fit the idea more. Anywho, ofc the leader would have to be called King Willy.

king willy? that doesn't sound too rasta to me. For my leader I was thinking about Lutan Fyah or Ki-Mani. That are the names of 2 reggae artists. + they sound good for gangers.

painted the lasguns in the crate. The wash still has to dry though.

If I'm not mistaken king Willy was the Rasta voodoo gang leader from predator 2. He was more then bad ass enough to run a necromunda gang! In fact I might have to start a chapter in the US...
Ok down to business. Shopping list. Plasticard, Styrofoam insulation, window screen, broken guitar strings, 1 gallon Elmer's all purpose glue, foam core & plumbers putty.
Plasticard: the more the better. I recommend starting with the kind that has the squares cut into one side so that you can snap it as you go, because this stuff is awesome but it dulls a blade way to fast and you can easily make things a uniform size by simply counting the squares. I know what you are thinking why buy pasticard when I can just use card board for free. Well most people can spot cardboard from a mile off and cardboard warps when you glue or paint it. you can get plasitcard I beams, sheets in the shape of brick and shingle too, this stuff coast a bit but it's a modelers best friend. Oh yeah and you'll never have to use contour putty to mask that congregated center that you find in the cardboard that you are using.
Styrofoam insulation: This stuff is vital! it will form the base of your game table. light weight and strong, it's sold in sheets of 4ft by 8ft, yep the size of a normal 40k table. It can be used for the base of buildings rocks tyranid spires, trenches, craters and just about anything your'e skill level will allow. If you haven't seen this in tutorials then your just not looking.
window screen: It's cheap, easy to cut. It makes fences, windows & the grating on those sci-fi walk ways you see every where on the net. Try cutting some to the shape of your pop can catwalks, place it on top, then frame the edges of with card bored from a cereal box. Once you have framed both sides with strips lay stips of the same thickness a crossed the width to make squares. after you have made you're squares you can lay peaces down the center of the square or cross two peaces to make an X a crossed the square. This will mimic a common sci-fi theme that you see in the movie Aliens, star wars and many others. If I wasn't on vacation in a third world country rife with crappy internet connections I would find a picture for you right now, but that will have to wait for now.
broken guitar string: Armored wires, and cables. Why broken, well because it's free.
1 gallon Elmer's all purpose glue: it'll glue wood Styrofoam and sand together. If you cant get your hands on water affects (a water based resin) you can use it to make rivers, blood, oil or what have you because its mixes with water which means it mixes with paints and washes. You can also dilute it with water to seal things with out losing details before you paint. If you forget to wash it off of your brush before it dries soak it in hot water, and then wash it off. (can you tell that I love the stuff) the reason that you need to get a gallon is because it's many time cheaper that way, and you will use a lot! A lot of the time hot glue is just as good and much faster but you need to have this on hand. No really you NEED this. Do you have it yet?... good moving on.
Foamcore: it's card board with Styrofoam in the center instead of congregated cardboard. you can use it any time that you would use cardboard, but the center doesn't need to be filled and it makes perfect plaster walls and you can peel the card off of one side to and carve tiles or hard wood floors into the foam. Really cheap if not free. Check art store or hardware stores.
plumbers putty: it's a cheaper version of green stuff. Lower grain quality but damn cheap in comparison. use it when fine detail isn't as important. ok that's enough for now if you'll get some of this stuff then I'll start linking you to super easy tutorials. By the way if cost is an issue, I get free guitar strings from music shops, foam core from art store dumpster and insulation foam from hardware store dumpsters. I know dumpster diving isn't for every one and I'm not suggesting that you do anything that makes you uncomfortable or embarrasses you or your parents, but I've made entire bombed out cities this way. Many times the store just give me there scraps when I asked.

wow that was a big post to read through. well i got a variant of elmer al purpose glue, I also have styrofoam insulation. for the walkways on those cola cans, the curent walkways are just proxies, I'll make cool looking ones later. And i don't really want that sci-fi look of star wars for necromunda, I rather like old buildings, looking like they could collapse every minutes. I'm also building my necro terrain after the image of a slum rather than high tech things. But there are good advices in you post so thank you.

That list is my standard set of materials regardless of what I'm making. Don't forget their ramshackle house will incorporate scarps from the hive. I left out sand but I'm only damn close to perfect.

Looking good,when you model your greenstuff try wetting your fingers and the greenstuff it might help,not too sure

Nice stuff.

I've heard both water or olive oil will help, though you probably want
some kind of dental tool to smooth things out.

thanks for the tips guys.

King willy took on the predator in single combat. He lost, but you know, he went at it with a sword, where as everyone else just shot it. He'd be an inspirational gang leader.

hmmmm..... maybe i'll use that name for my heavy.

Why not call your gang leader..... King Willy?

Like the ganger alot, but the 'locls seem jsut to be resting on his head..

@ krazy kenny: thank you for sharing my point of view!

Ill sumbit pictures too as soon all the models are painted ( i play in Scrazza's campaign.)
Its an Van Saar gang

can't wait so see them all finished!
And I can't wait to play again, too!

Hey Scrazza, I saw someone mentioned using oil to lubricates GS when you are working on it. It works well but you can't add more GS to the part you are working on till you wipe off all the oil (and wait till the GS dries!) and paint doesn't like the oil for sure.
My reccomendation is just to use water as you can shake off any excess in order to add GS to the working area.

Just my 2cents

Oh and definitely get the paint blenders, I got some a couple of months back and my GS work went up a level, makes cloth SO easy.

Hey Scrazza, I think your terrain and minatures look really cool.

I'm also making (very slowly) scratch built terrain for Necro. Like other posters have said, I recommend you use foamcore and platicard---they're both easy to use and make terrain alot more durable.
As for your Rasta gang, I remember once seeing a Rasta themed gang for Necro online. I think it used catachan models with greenstuffed dreadlocks. However, It was years ago and I don't remember where I saw it. It would be worth searching for it, though.

Keep up the good work

Dave

I will buy those greenstuff tools from gw after the exams are done. I'll also try to find some plasticard and foamcore(I think I have some foamcore laying around somewhere)

Hows King Willy coming along?

............................... *sigh*
well I actualy finished converting him. I will post a pic on friday.

update: wip on the delaque juve. And I finished converting the rasta gang leader. I'm not quit happy with the way he turned out, but it'll have to do until I make a new version of em. (c&c& welcome)

the leader doesnt looks that bad
hes still beter than a model who had a collision with a melta blast (read:cooking plate)

Wow, king willy looks really good ( )

Im gonna have to post up some of my minis on my blog for you to shamelessly heckle and call names

thank you.
Maybe you do have to. Look forward to it.

I have also converted a 'rasta' gang for Necromunda, (used Delaques & catachans) after I get home later maybe I can get some pics, after I dig out the models and fire up the cam.

-good to see some Necro-love happenin'... Wait that didn't sound good did it???

Great Job!

thank you Hashsashin. upload your pictures, I wanna see them.

You have done some great minis and lots of personal conversions! You are going to have a fabilous gang!

thank you Xenon. At least I hope I'm having having a fabulous gang. Anyway, tomorow I've got my last exam, so I'm going to play a few times these days. I maybe paint those rastas up, who knows.

oke played th first game in weeks, finaly! tommorow i'll play some more, so expect batreps the day after tomorow(I'm rather tired now)

oke batrep from last night.

Gang Fight

Mak heard from a snitch their was a new gang cald the Muchashos risen to power. The crooks tracked em down and forced them to fight. things went bad in the beggining with Vakos out of action in the 1st turn. the second turn 2 more of my guys went out of action. But then Boris torched 3 infiltrating gangers taking 1 out of action. shooting went good for me and I shot 2 more down 1 fleshwound and 1 out of action. Spark took another 2 out of action with his power maul. He decided to bottle out. He had bad luck on his serious injury, 2 of his dudes went dead outright. I, in contrary, had his share of luck. 1 had an old battle wound, 1 horrible scars and 1 full recovery.

That was the 1st batrep. the 2 games I played today will be posted later. I also bought 3 models. I will post pics of them when they are assembled so stay tuned.

update. Batrep against The Freebootierz. Pics only. Also some unpainted models I bought. (c&c welcome)

Hehe
excellent!
FWIW am in a very positive mood about Necromunda as I actually won yesterday! Though tbh my 10 yo opponent went easy on my Mousemashers as he wasn't playing his own Van Saar house gang

anyway PeePee Toolate, did me proud and now can shoot from the hip as a result

great stuff Scrazza, keep 'em coming mate!

Ahh foundry, they're pretty good. But they have a couple of flaws. Naimly, they're small. true 28mm, so they will look like pigmies next to a catachan. Coincidently, foundry do do a pigmy range, and they're the shizz!

Thanks Scrazza
with me in charge and rolling the dice? No chance
First outing my leader got hit and the gang bottled out just as we were about to take the objective!

On the roll he was captured, but he was so rubbish I refused to pay the ransom so he got sold into slavery!

nice linky
Assume the Ballistic Beach Babes don't get an armour save

despite those setbacks, that's still a nice gang you got there. Ever thought about opening your own necromunda thread?

I wasn't planning on starting one but it might be a good idea if people would be interested.


Sorry to have hijacked yours btw was just meant as a quick aside.

no need to apologize. I'll be interested!

anyways, update time. Ive got all day free to paint and/or convert. so here is the 1st finished model. (delaque juve with knife and stubgun)

(c&c welcome)

well then. I'm having a hobby marathon today and I will post my progress of today after the project is finished. here are the 1st 2 Things. 1 Is a finished model while the other is wip. I'mm painting them for my next gang (Goliath). I hope you like the look of the new Goliath gangs.

(c&c welcome)

another model done. scavie. I really enjoyed converting him. I quite like this little fella. oh and I find this lack of posting disturbing

EEK! wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley.
Come to think of it I wouldn't want to meet him in a well lit alley!

I would suggest priming in grey or using a foudation which covers black really well. I find it makes painting the models a lot easier than having to work over black.

Have a load of really old gretchin from an incomplete Space Crusades game. Lots of good things here for inspiration!

Am really liking these dudes Scrazza! thumbsup
Love the skull painting oon the smoker's jacket!

good to have you inspired Chibi.

is their a black foundation paint? I thought so. I hope it would work better. I'll buy is as soon as possible.

also thanks for the positive comments!

well I decided to stop the hobby marathon. I did finish some work though. Here is some more work I did today.

any ideas on names for my Goliath gang?

as the new title says, I will add random projects because Necromunda alone doesn't seem to interest a lot of you. Hence the 1st random project. Eldar Dire Avenger.

Necromunda interests me!!

But more pics = more good

I am trying to pick up names from books and other sources

the best I've come up is "Reaper" for a heavy

sorry I'm not the best with names, hell my leader's name is "Sarge" (my gang is an ex house orlock security team)

I keep thinking up names for my two unnamed juves
but then don't write them down and forget DOH!

Pie Eater Ramone
A Boy Named Sue (parents were somehow big Jonny Cash fans!?!)
Bulldog-Breath Bates

If you don't want A Boy Named Sue one of my Juves can have that moniker.
The other will be Squeeky Chilblane. So called cos he screams like a girl.

I'll take the silence as a "No" then
Oh well looks like one of my juves will be called Sue!

Great character in the dudes there Scrazza

oh sorry, for not answering. Thank you.

called my juves rita sue and bob

stupid double post

lol double posting. nice to know though.

let's necro this thread!

And give it a kick start.

I decided to start a second Guard army, because I grew tired of my first. The idea came from reading Gaunt's ghosts. I read The founding, and and now half way through the saint.
I don't know exactly what to do. Make my own army, or start my own Tanith first and only project. Advice would be lovely.

anyway, Crisis 2010 came and went today. And I bought a crap load of miniatures.

-All of sheaffers last chancers
- a Delaque gang
- a crap load of Call of Chultu (ish) miniatures.
- bits for my upcoming guard project
-terrain for necromunda
- some urban war blisters
-catachan battle-force (base for Guard army 2)
...
and a baneblade.

The baneblade was already assembled, and the basic layers were already applied as well.

here are a few pictures, of the last chansers, delaque gang and the baneblade. The rest will follow. last but not least is my test model for the new guard army. I made him for an upcoming painting contest over at the imperial guard message board.



Hope you enjoy.

I like the camo cloak on the guardsman, Is he supposed to be a tanith scout?

@ Maledictus: he is supposed to be a Tanith ghost yes. and he's a test model for guard army nr 2 as well

update:

some WIPs and a finished project.

Finished: Delaque ganger with lasgun
Wip: Demolition man
Guard Command squad

I like the way how the camo cloaks turned out. As you can see on the vox operator, his cloak is draped over his shoulder. I had to do that, because a vox was too big to fit a cloak over. I used 2 metal heads. On the sniper and on the medic. Heads are from black cat bases. I bought 3 of each different head pack with each 4 heads in it. So that would give me something to personalize the army. + I have 12 backpacks, also from black cat bases, but I doubt I will be using the for this army.

Nice work on the GS cloaks. It gives them a lot of character.

thanks Cain!

your ghosts reminded me of these. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_y6W7acufmFE/TL0I1ceWhZI/AAAAAAAABfc/Vg2xGDSYj3s/s1600/TanithVetsFinal.jpg

Your GS skills have come a long way, keep up the good work.

Ah some of Dave Taylor's miniatures. I haven't seen these before. Have you got a link to his site?

Thanks. Indeed my skills with greenstuff came a long way. When I look back at my old greenstuffed models, I hang my head in shame. My skills with greenstuff aren't amazing, but its better then back then, yes.

To all who is new to greenstuff, Don't let up, practise and you'll get better!

Nice camo cloaks.
Also your so lucky,im still working on left track part of mine baneblade
And i am repainting the space marines!

I really like the look of your city, even in its infancy stages. Nice work, cant wait to see an update on it!

@Hendaron: Thanks! Good luck on your baneblade and repainting your space marines. I just saw the thread.

@Elemental206: Thanks! I bought some resin terrain over at Crisis 2010. I'll paint them up soon, and I'll post 'em here.

Indeed, screw the ultramarines movie. But necromunda would attract different audience. It would chase away all the little ultramarine obsessed children.

Graveyard earth? Hmmmmm. Not sure, But I'll try it out, It might turn out better than I think.

Let me know how it goes.. I'm thinking Graveyard Earth may go well... but.. I've been known to be wrong!

hehe

I'll try it out tommorow, I'm tired, and just finished the posing of my new scout sentinal. Will post pictures of the wip tomorrow. Next step on the sentinal, is the base. The base needs to be a bit more' alive'.

I didn't continue on Hero, but I did start on the scout sentinal. And a trench coat trooper, which I will use as traitor guard.

I didn't glue on those bars yet, for ease of painting. You can't see it in the pic, but there is actually an ork leg on the other side of the tree trunk.

so, the poll made it quite clear. I'm going for a custom regiment. Now I need to come up with some fluff. I'll name my planet Furith. So that makes my regiment the Furian 2nd. I am able to come up with fluff myself, but i'll appreciate any help I get. Ideas will go here, and if I have everything needed, I'll write the fluff in the dakka background section.

Any ideas are welcome.

5 guardsmen to add to the Furian 2nd. As always, c&c are welcome.

I like the heads, but the cloaks could be a bit smoother

Rose_Mountainz wrote:I like the heads, but the cloaks could be a bit smoother

I have to work on the cloaks, yeah. I have tried all sorts of things to smooth that out. I've tried to smooth it out with a super thin layer off PDA glue. A mate sugested it, and it kinda works, but anly if its a super thin layer.

The cloak thumbprints give it a kind of wool texture !

Always look on the bright side. At first I thought the same, but then I dismissed the thought, because the prints were too big in comparison to the rest of the model.

great to see that somebody works at all!

Hehehe. Any progress on your Banelade, Hendaron?

banelade? euh... the work on the baneBlade goes well ,when I get home friday,I can start working on the hull. because im on boarding school (or something like that) Posting isnt very easy on a psp (or fast) so... anyway, im still can repaint my marines ,so expect a HUGE update saturday offtopic: scrazza,any chance you ll be at the GW that saturday? ill be there anyway so ,just asking. . .

@Hendaron: There's a chance I will. I'll let you know.
Boarding school...Meh

Well, I am embarrased to say i didn't get any work done. I did did half assembly for 4 more Guards to make up the 1st squad. I need to put a greenstuff camo on them, and the put on the heads.

Here's the plan for the catachan battle force.

Step 1: Command squad : ASSEMBLED
Step 2: Scout sentinal : ASSEMBLED
Step 3: Squad 1: WIP on ASSEMBLY
Step 4: Mortar squad: NEEDTO BEGIN WITH
Step 5: Squad 2 : NEED TO BEGIN WITH.

Update time! The specialists of the 1st veteran squad. Vox, sergeant, flamer and heavy flamer.

I tried to experiment a bit with more non GW heads and other styles of draping camo cloaks.

C&C welcome.

I like the heads!
I got it managed i can rent a laptop from somebody on internate(boarding school)
just a cam and i can start posting during the week! yay!

Hehehe. You were lucky! looking forward to the pics.

...

Renting?

hiring,whatever not for money anyway so... an solution as long as my parents deem it "rightfull" to hold my own lzptop
at home so,allows me to checkup once in a while,great!

great

Not for money? For what then?

Aaaaaargh,just for FREE...sigh,you never where the clearest person éh?

first you say rent, then to hire...what's free about that? lol That has nothing to do with me being clear.

This is turning to be a great off topic conversation,

nice head choices , like the roman style one the best , where is the re-breather style one from?, and the cloak over the tanks is a nice touch.

Thanks Neil. The rebreather mask is from wargames factory. The shock troopers.

But what Roman head? That green is a Victrix early French line infantry forage cap head. (long names )

work on Fluff for the Furian Guard has started

Here is the link.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/329059.page

And where is todays update?

hehe, nothing. I didn't have the time, nor theinterest in greenstuffing today. Maybe tomorrow this will be updated with some paintes WIPs

thanks for the tip about the heads. i did mean the french line head lol it looks a little like a crown from the front he he he maybe because its gold! sorry
the fluff looks good but i have only skimmed it , need a bit more time , to get involved proper!

yèeah, the green heads is a bit trimmed down. That wobly thing on it simply didn't fit. I'll show a pic of the normal, untouched head later on.

Thanks, I hope you have a good read, and I hope to get some feedback and tips for the rest of the fluff

Dakka, I need your help!.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/329203.page

Time for another (minor) update.

Finished painting the traitor guard, and the Tanith scout that was meant to be for a painting competition, which I completely forgot about.

the scout looks about the same as my Furians will look like. without the blue tattoo.

TANITH scout? aaaaaargh im confused!!!!
appart from thet it comes out well.

And he says I am not the clearest person.


That one was destined for a painting competition on another forum. My army will be the Furian 2nd. lear as crystal.

your furians look abit scary!

hehe, yeah he looks angry. Because he just vanquished a chaos Marine.

I know ho looks angry: My newly painted librarian.
oh yeah...
UPDATE? WHERE IS UPDATE? I WANT UPDATE

Patience Hendaron, Patience!

Will update this weekend. that is, if I get something done, or even started.

My thread is updated,where is your update?

This evening, when homework is done, I'll update.

as promised, an update. it's only a small one, I only finished a piece of terrain over the week. (DAMN YOU SCHOOL!)

(model for scale purpose.)

Cool
did you scratch the terrain Scrazza?
either way is nicely finished

thanks Chibi. but no, I didn't scratch built it. I bought it somewhere. It's resin, but I would like to be able to scratch build this kinda thing.

Its kinda a small update,but it would do (for now)

hehe. I'll churn my way through that big pile of stuff yet to start.

Nice to see another 'munda player. I have not been following this thread, so I am guessing a Delaque gang?

Love the terrain, I'm very inspired.

you got it right. a delaque gang. and I am starting to make models for a goliath gang. I've tried to play with Goliath in our new campaign, but I just can't resist the Delaque.

If you can make as good as we have seen you can scratch your own terrain young Scrazza, my man!

Ah, the goliaths. My favorite models and gang GW ever produced. It's a shame no one plays as the meat heads though, but they do have the worst skill selection of all the gangs.

Chibi Bodge-Battle wrote:If you can make as good as we have seen you can scratch your own terrain young Scrazza, my man!

I got some clay somewhere, I might give it a shot. But I think it wouldn't look half as good as the resin one. But then again, when a man practices enough, the man will get it right sometime.

after looking at the terrain a second time, I noticed there is no way to get up the box. I'll add a ladder later one. That way it looks more real, and it would be better in game. (in necromunda, that is)

@ Black Ram: there aren't many goliath players no. yes, their skill tree sucks, but that adds to the gangs personality. Those bulging muscles, the goliaths have must be compensated by other bad stuff. It's just a matter of balancing the rules.

Don't forget the mohawks! That with the muscle really got me hooked, as well as their love of close combat, you know, basicaly orks.


I like that no ones plays as them, too. That is also why I use to like Dark Eldar.

ah yes the mohawks. that should always be present with a goliath gang. But mine will have more dreadlocks then mohawks. No mater how cool a mohawk is, (wanted to get one myself, but not with the baldiness on the sides, and not as radical as the punkers. ) dreads will always do it for me. I think that's because my love for Reggae music.

hehe. I played tha dark eldar before the new codex. I thought I would be excited about the new release, but I seem to have lost interest in the dark eldar.

That point you made on the DE is exactly what happened to me. I always was saying on how I wish I will be alive when they are updated. I am glad to see them updated, but am not glad with the giant wave of bandwagon.

About the mohawk thing, I rock one myself. It is a pain I tell, you, but it is so worth it.


Seems I have posted alot here, so you can count that I will keep watch on this thread.

hey Scrazza , like your paintscheme on your building, nice building also, its my favourite archetectural style, Brutalism appropriate name heh! there is lots of it in leeds where i live , and i grew up playing on the stuff in the university( check the link) , with my bmx!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutalist_architecture

@Black Ram: thats true about the DE. Glad to have you along !

@Neil: thanks for the info on Brutalism. I have never heard of that archytectal type before.

good call on the Brutalism Neil
I also have lots of ladders to make for a Necro project.

The campaign had not been restarted so I was hoping to have one less project to worry about.
bloomin kids decided to start a new campaign last week when I wasn't looking

I am currently thinking of using some sprue to make some ladders, push into clay and pour in some resin from the car repairs shop. It is going to have to be cheap quick and cheerful- or should that be cheerless for Necro?!
If i feel up to it can add some wire for handrails at a later date


Automatically Appended Next Post:
ps may pop some pics up in a bog some point if I feel motivated enough (unlikely! )

wow, Chibi, from what I am reading, you put a lot of detail in your terrain. I am planning on making the ladders with Balsa Wood (don't know if you heard of it before. it's a hobby material, it's wood thats easy to break.)

new campaighn eh? wel thats good, that keeps the competiveness high. In my last campaign spark had a power maul, dissarm, ws 6, infiltrate, and a crap load of othergood skills. I used to infiltrate him and then assault when I could. Spark was that good, nobody could kill him. It even went that far that I killed/ taken down a whole gang with only spark. In those situations, it should be clear to you to start a new campaign.

Yes it's useful stuff
I was going to use some paper clips tbh as they make good rungs.
But it seems too tedious because I would need to drill holes and super glue each rung trying to make sure everything is aligned correctly!
Would do that for an individual bit of detailing but with a lot of ladders to make, the push moulding will be easier.

Balsa may be too soft as well to impress into the clay.

Lol glad I didn't have to face Spark.
Pee Pee Toolate may well have had more than a little accident if he came up against Spark!

PS the detailing overall will be kept to a minimum as the kids will just wanna play so I need to finish off fast.
Otherwise I would love to add pipee and all sorts of stuff!
Guess I can do that over time.
Also am thinking of using magnetic strips so the ladders can be taken off and relocated as and when necessary.

I would never gather enough patience to use paperclips for ladders. I would just throw away everything in anger as my hands are too big to do that kinda detalied work.

It might be too soft for clay, but I am trying to glue the onto the resin one I just painted.

I really miss Spark. He started as a juve youknow. He was the gangs mascot. His only real bad thing was that his WS was still 2 after ending the campaign. you can't always have all the good stuff.

Simple but very efective and cool piece of terrain!

thanls rose!

sorry no updates today. I didn't finish anything, nor started anything. Damn german speaking test...

little update.

I decided to build missile launchers instead of the mortars. So I built the first and here they are. A while back I bought Catachan guardsmen to convert them to Necromunda models. Well, I was surprised to find out I had enough parts left to make another model. So I made a Sniper, because I plan on using lots in this army.

I really like how the sniper turned out. I plan on keeping this look for all of my future snipers. What do you think? Keep this look or modify the sniper rifle?

nice work
I like the sniper and rifle but not the best person to comment whether it needs altering
looks good to me Scrazza

Thanks Chibi

The only thing I need to do is fill up the gap between the two rifle parts. But I am still open for new ideas.

Maybe a bipod?

wow. How could I not think of that. Thanks again Chibi. A retracted Bipod would look very cool on this one and on other ones.

I really feel like WTF right now, How could I not have thought about that. (excuse me the harsh language.)

Nice sniper. Simple and effective, and a bipod will finish it off nicely

Thanks Monkeytroll. I am searching for bits to make a bipod now.

it's weekend, that MIGHT mean I get something done. Currently lined up are the next two HWT's and some custom terrain. But the terrain is not going to be for Necromunda, it's going to be for my new Guard army. Trees. simple, yet is obscures lines of sight

Scrazza, your work is truly inspiring!

So long Christmas money, I thinks.

Christmas money? I still have to get mine. Since it's not christmas yet, you know. ( )

But...I'm not going to put my christmas money in the hobby. (at least not all of it.) And yes, PS3 games have everything to do with that.

I can keep myself busy for quite a while with what I have to finish.

I haven't got mine either. But nonetheless, I intend to spend quite a bit this Christmas. For once, most of it won't be on me. Maybe.

Must. Resist. Spacemans. Raargh.

Spacemans? I hope it's not Vanilla marines. ( )

Damn it, I can't find any suitable bits for a bipod. I might have to make one myself. Grumble.

Scout squad heavy-bolter bipod.

oooh. Looks fitting. Hendaron plays SM. He might have that bit around. I'll ask him if he is willing to trade it.

Thanks for the info Dark.

Scrazza wrote:oooh. Looks fitting. Hendaron plays SM. He might have that bit around. I'll ask him if he is willing to trade it.

Thanks for the info Dark.

If he offers you a scout box set, say no. It is quite possibly the worst plastic kit currently in existance.

Edit: Unless it's the sniper set. That one's so awesome I know it's awesome without buying it! It just doesn't have the bipod..

Most people don't use the bipod on the actual heavy bolter because it breaks so easily.. I think.

O rly? I never opened a SM box set of any kind before. But I am not planning on getting a complete box. Just the bits.

sorry scrazza , just looked over the net , and nothing came up!
maybe you could scratch build, from sprue? or greenstuff. good luck mate , and the sniper , rifle build is a good idea.joining the rifles like that!

Back to Necromunda! I got a bit burned on the Furians, so I decided to start on a bunch of new models I got. Only 1 painted model now, But I'm showing a bunch of other miniatures, I am starting work on.

@Neil: thanks. Scratch building it would be my best option maybe, yeah. But that can wait, I am not planning on painting them until the whole box is completed.

they are lovely models scrazza, i dont know evey one is doing necromunda now , im getting left out in the cold here...
arh well , least i can be inspired by everyones great work, i really would like to do an old school brat gang , full of pomp and expensive weapons! but i will have to put that at the bottom of a long list.

Thanks, Neil!

Brats? I seen rules for them on the internet somewhere. Might have to start a brat gang myself once.

I got a long list to do too, but when something awesome shows up, I juts put aside everything I am doing and start working on it.

This is a good song to paint to, me says. Am doing that now.

Scrazza wrote:I'll do that, but the kroot list will be based upon the ratskins with aditional teritories, special kroot only weopons, new skills, etc...

I used the Escher List for my Kroot Gang - melee, stealth, agility all pretty much kroot traits, backed up with decent weapons.

It's a lot easier than getting into balance arguments.

Scrazza, those are some damn fine models! Where did you get 'em, cause most of them I'm not familiar with. They don't look like any I've ever seen on the GW website.. which is gak..

Anyway, I love 'baldy' there, but the skin and the grey.. ehh.. y'know? In other words (or real words!) it just doesn't look realistic enough. Try Tallarn Flesh washed with Ogryn Flesh - it's my basic little way of doing skin and I find it works very well.. I just need to decide which colours for highlighting.

I believe a wise man once said, "basecoat, wash, THEN highlight." Or something like that.

Anyways, can't wait to see more!

@earthbeard: thanks for the advice. It's been a long while since I worked on the ruleset, but hey....

Yeah oke, Esher's suitable, But I don't want that fluuf behind them.

@Darkvoid: those two men with rifles are OOP Viridian Commandos (from Urban Mamoth) those two men with pistol and shotgun are militia. (also from Urban Mamoth)
and the guy with the two pistols is from Cthulhu Noir.

I got a lot more models from thulhu, but I have to unpack them yet.


Now on the Delaque's skin color. The pale skin's done deliberatly. Delaque's are used to dak area's thats why the all wear goggles all the time. Light would blind them. That's the same for the skin. They just all have pale skin. Don't know why exactly (have to check that again) but they just do.

the dreaded thinsg called exams are almost upon me. So that means no big updates in the following two weeks. I do have one painted miniature, but i'll try to squeeèze enough time in to post tomorrow

Good luck with the exams Scrazza
Do your best, as they say in anime.

Yeah, good luck, see you on the other side.

ha thanks guys, I will need it. in another falf hour from now, I will start studying French. I changed schools recently, I don't have that much to study anymore.

Maybe tonight, I'll post up some pics of the one painted model.

Ugh, could not make time to upload another pic of the wips and finished projects. Well, it doesn't look like I can tonight ( ), But I will tommorow at the start of the weekend. I'll have enough time then.

Good luck Scrazza.

Thanks Neil! I had French today, and it went well, actually. Tomorow's History, almost done, and then the weekend. (followed by more studying

I got the same feeling,ol' friend,already got 4 behind me and 11 to go
my updates will be rare ,as i don't get time to do some work on my models in the week
i will have to do it in the weekend (combined with studying) so...
good luck anyway,and see you after the exams!

hehe I've done two already, and I still have to do 8

See you after the exams, I'll see if I can get more furians ready to fight you hive fleet, Hendaron.

time for another update. Only 2 models this time, but painted ones. I haven't come around to doing much. (you know, exams )


excuse me for the somewhat darker pictures. The lamp, I used to take pictures under, Decided it would be funny to die out on me.

Looking good.

she looks great

Wow, sorry Scrazza, I don't think i've seen your necro stuff before, though I've been admiring your Furians (and especially their cloaks!) when I've dropped by. Good choice of non-GW models for your munda gang - she fits really well with the Delaques! What company is she from? Totally approve your gang choice as well - sneaky gangs all the way

Hope you don't mind if I post a couple of your pics in the showcase thread - let me know if you want me to take em down!

@Dark: thanks!

@Neil: thanks!

@Scarper: Thanks! the model's from Urban Mamoth miniatures. A militia model. All those miltia models fit really well with Necromunda, I usedquite a bit models from Urban Mamoth for Necromunda by now.

Yes sneaky gangs all the way. Everytime we start a new campaign, I just can't take another gang than Delaque. I really like the fluff behind hese guys.

And I don't mind at all, I am glad you put them up!

A little update on tactics. More of a question actually.

Normally for the second veteran squad, I was going to arm them with three Meltaguns. (don't forget camo cloaks). But I found out I only had 2 meltaguns.

Now, what do I do? order a bits pack from Gw with meltaguns? Or 'screw this' I am going for plasmaguns?

Tyranids being my main enemy. Fluff wise (as they are in a campaign against 'nids) and game wise, My opponent plays them (obviously). I am going to arm all the veteran sergeants with powerswords. But is it worth it giving them a plasma pistol? Or is the chance they will blow away themselves, with the plasma pistol and the power sword?

sorry scrazza , i cant help much as i dont game .. i would bite the bullet and go for my initial reaction. just wait a bit, and develop more fluff

If you're fighting Tyranids, you want PLASMA and lots of it. In every single way, the meltagun is far inferior to the plasma gun at killing Tyranids. Double range, more shots - perfect!

But if you really want to ruin any Tyranid players' day, LEMAN RUSS BABY! AN' LOTS OF 'EM!!!

Ah, the lovely, lovely, LOVELY pie-plates..strength eight..AP3..ORDNANCE...*drool*.. SEVENTY-TWO-INCH-RANGE! YES!

*ahem*

Yes, well, the more shots, the longer range, the better. As for powerswords, which are awesome, they aren't all that effective.. unless you've got a 50 man blob squad with a commissar - 6 power weapons, 5 Lascannons and an array of plasma/melta and over a hundred attacks on the charge! With Straken, they'll be at S4 and I4. Put those bugs to shame!

Plasma guns it is then. I'll start working on tha plasma vets tomorrow. I finished half of the squad. Gave the sarge a power sword and laspistol though.

Leman Russes are good, but my guard being Light Infantry, I'll never include Leman Russes in my army.

Time for another big update. I finished the second squad. The sarge can double as having a power sword or not. 3 plasma, and a heavy stubber (Read Heavy Bolter) Fluff wise, I figured a Heavy stubber looks lighter then a heavy bolter. In the future I will need some stopping power. Hence the stubber team. I shortened the barrel, so that it looks les heavy, and looks like it has a reduced kickback from firing. The heavy stubber just fits in good in a light infantry regiment.

What do you guys think? Does it look good? The stubber that is. I am considering of doing another one. Maybe even a squad of three stubbers.

(I once again appolagize for the dark pictures. I haven't jet got a new lamp.)
