i've been collectin' random dark-age minis for about 5 years now, and i can't say enough about some of the cool sculpts...
startin' off with brom's design work is a wellspring of great ideas...it's one of those lines where, once you've started collectin' a few, ya want 'em all...

nice work as always migsula...

cheers
jah

We had another game today - It was a blast with some real Chaos flavor and a nasty new personality! Hammer has promised a full report and pictorial monday or tuesday.

We will post more of our stories here too. (we always write little stories in between the games)

Looking forwards to the game report mate.

Cheers,

Dante

is it going to have the hammer treatment? so much fun to read ^_^.

Yes, full Hammer treatment, but much less jokes and more dramatic this time - it was quite nasty!

I didn't have the time to process the battle report pics yet as I was taking these pics. I'll try to get the report done by tuesday or wednesday. Here's new, with better lighted pics of my gang, Including the bounty hunter and daemon host. I'm not happy about the daemonhost pics though, it's a hard fig to take pics. I'll try again soon.

For some reason the face of the Daemonhost kind of reminds me of something from Resident Evil/Final Fantasy or you know...those games that kind of have this manga kind of Japanese vibe going on, kind if Ergo Proxy.

Love that Arbitrator by the way! I'm going to find a way to scratchbuilt that close combat weapon of hers for my Mezzan. I didn't notice that she, the Interrogator and the Gunnery Chief all have the same camo pants on!

Eva Kosutic is by far my fave, such great pose, detail and OTT weaponry. There's just something about Eva I really love them all, and I think to use a brown primer was a really great idea as it has lent a very coherent and pleasing look for the whole.

The pics, and mostly the extremely harsh lighting doesn't really do justice to them at all.

I had to up the light levels drastically or the pics would have ended up as dark as the previous ones. At least now you can make out some details.

Do you know how to increase exposure on your camera?? It's really easy and since you have a tripod, you should really do it if there's not enough light. I'l show you next time.

My favourites are the arbite and the gunnery sgt, both are excellent conversions, any chance of a parts breakdown and some WIP's?

Cheers,

Dante

I didn't take any WIPs but one per fig (www.pbase.com/colhammer -> go to Inquisitor section).

Arbitrator parts: Head is plastic daemonette head, torso is from Mordheim Sister of Sigmar, Legs are from Sniper (Eversor?) Assassin. Arms are from plastic Cadian. The force rod is three parts: Hilt is plastic cadian chainsword arm, rod is from plastic cadian missile launcher missile and the head came from (IIRC) Storm Hammer. The bolter I don't recall right now what I used for it... Plastic parts though. And lots of green stuff on top of everything, of course.

The Gunnery Chief is just a plastic Cadian re-posed and lots of green stuff added, rifle is built from many plastic bits and has green stuff covering.

Hammer's promised the report this week He's got 36 images to edit and write the texts on so it's going to take some time

Oh will we finally know the entire story of the Shades of Greye? That would rule!

Great modelling and development going on in this thread. Very inspiring stuff, thanks for sharing.

Hammer you lazy unreliable git! Where is that report!?

Hi, I'm totally new to this board and have been looking for a few days now for a good bridge between Inquisitor and 40k. Kill Team was good, but I really wanted the campaign feel of Mordheim or Necromunda. A couple friends of mine and I have been using the Kill Team rules to run =I= warbands against one another. It was fun, but could soon get stale when there is so little room for growth.

Well, then I stumbled onto this thread. I'm totally blown away by the work done here!

migsula, the stuff you're putting up there is the kinda thing I'm looking for. Incredible.

I guess my question is...and I have been scanning the pages of this thread for a little while now - but I'm blind sometimes...what kind of rules have you guys been using for your games to allow you to incorporate Inquisitors and stuff into your games? I saw the World in Arms rules, which seemed nice, is this what you are using. If not, what modifications have you done to the Necromunda gang system?

Sorry for all the questions.

(By the way, I love the Alpha Legion marine. It's cool to see things havn't gotten to where entire tactical squads are running around. Kinda LatD. Cool.)

-Travis

The basic rules change is that we're not incorporating inquisitors into the gangs. The inquisitors are the leaders, and the retinues are the various gang members. In my variant, there are three leader types to choose from: Inquisitors, Rogue Traders, and Tech Magi. Each leader type has specific rules that apply to their retinues/warbands.

Oh, OK, that seems to make a lot of sense. The idea of doing it in that way never even occured to me. It would seem a Rogue Trader would offer up a lot of possibilities.

So, does that mean that the original Necromunda stat lines for gangers and such are being retained and new weapons, abilities, powers and equipment are being instituted? Or are any new stat lines being generated for the different types of individuals in a retinue aside from Juves, Heavies, and Gangers? What of Daemonhosts and their particular ilk?

Is there a standard resource that exists out there that you guys are working off of? Is there a link? I've got the Necromunda rules. Truth is, I've never played it, but have played Mordheim. It seems that this particular project has really tweaked my interest in givin' it a well invested shot. Man, do I ever want to start converting! It's been over a year since I last did anything with green stuff.

Thanks so much for the reply,

-Travis (Super Interested)

...That was awesome.

Yes! Finally! Cool report dude, didn't expect you to include your Blood Pact models, kick ass stuff.

@THartl: You might want to check out this thread in which we discuss the rules and such for =I=munda.

Awesomeness in a box.

~sA

Great report guys, love the narrative and storyline behind the whole campaign. Very well thought out and could just as easily have been a story line in a Dan Abnett book.

Bravo chaps, looking forward to more as always!

Cheers,

Dante

Huge thanks Hammer!!! Well worth the wait.

Oh boy how anxious I am to get my gangs the Hammer treatment Next round I want Shaddes offe Greye in on the report!

Another awesome report.

The games look like such a blast.

In my variant (still being developed), if your leader is an inquisitor, you have to choose whether he is puritan or radical. Puritans can select from one list, radicals another.

Daemonhosts and servitors: They don't fit into the classification of Ganger (Agent), Heavy (Specialist) or Juve (Sage), so we are developing a new category for them.

Kind of off topic, but what classification does the Servitor have in a Pit Slave gang? Just take that classification for those sorts of units (Servitors, Daemonhosts, etc).

Man your guys stuff is so awesome. Really makes me wanna play =I= And I gotta say that this thread has been my main inspiration for the weapons I am creating. I decided I was bored with what little choice I had for the more common guns so I started taking my spares and creating my own. I am hoping to come up with enough cool weapons to make my own mold, and make an entire army with my own guns.

Brilliant! Now I just need to find the Pit slave gang rules...

Malika2 wrote:Kind of off topic, but what classification does the Servitor have in a Pit Slave gang? Just take that classification for those sorts of units (Servitors, Daemonhosts, etc).

Malika2, the brainstorming thread was great.

So, in the case of a daemonhost, as seen in this awesome battle report, it would be treated as a 'hired gun' with exclusive hiring rights to a Radical =I= gang? Is that how such elements will be handled that exist outside the standard gang construction? Sorry, I have yet to get a hold of the Pit Slave gang list.

I do apologize for going slightly off topic from the thread. It's just so exciting to see what is going on here.

I think you guys might be a bit too focused on making neat lists. Our group really ignores a lot of restrictions when it suits our purpose. I mean, I asked Migs if I could have a Daemonhost and he said ok, if you build it, I'll come up stats for it, no prob.

And I don't see why servitors can't be regular gang members. Don't get too hung up on titles (i.e. servitor is not an "agent", looks like I can't use it...). I have two servitors in my gang (well, one now, because Sating got her brains blown out in the last game...), one is Heavy and one is ganger. No extra rules neccessary.

But I guess you people approach this from the rules perspective and then build figs fitting the rules. Our group has the figs as the driving force. Build something that looks cool and then come up with rules for it. I guess that works because our players do not compete against each other but the games are story driven. We ditched all the lands and money after few first games too. I guess they were getting in the way of the story?

I guess it would be different if you plan to play with the full Necromunda rules (land, money, the whole shebang). Then you need to be a bit more concerned with the balance.

So it's a matter of perspective after all.

I agree with you that these games should primarily be focussed on a narrative and also modelling (I think that is probably the number one aspect of =I=munda), however, some people are still more interested in some sort of structure in their game in which they model their forces after what's best in the "armylist" or according to the rules. I think the =I=munda discussion in the other part of this forum is exactly for that. The reason why people wonder where to place these special units and equipment also comes from the whole idea of "game balance" which in itself can be ok. However, you could also have the Game Master have more influence in the matter.

I do think that if there were such a thing as an "=I=munda rulebook" that there need to be a few pages for the GM's.

I loved that battle report, great work, Hammer!
You really have me psyched for geting a gang together..but where to play? Sadly enough I don't think that any of my friends has seen this...

Keep the good stuff coming guys!

//Hoffen

I think it just feels a bit restricting to have all these different types of lists that say that if you are this type =I=, you cannot have troop X and must have troop Y and so on...

My Inquisitor was leaning a bit towards radical at the start of the campaing, but all options were still open for him. It was the choises I made for him in game that actually turned him radical though and not because I picked out a radical army list. I decided to go against the orders of the Inquisitor in charge of the situation and that brought me whole deal of grief as another Inquisitor was dispatched after me. I still could have sorted the situation out, but it was again my desicion to create the daemonhost ant that act finally drove me over the line. There is no coming back now.
So my Inquisitor is radical because of the choises he made and not because of an army list I picked at the start.

Also, I have a wide variety of servants in my disposal: Adeptus Mechanicus tech priest (dead now), two servitors (one dead, one brain addled...), Arbitrator, Imperial navy trooper (dead), Interrogator, Ecclesiarch priest.

With open list you can add all sorts of followers to your group. I guess I would feel restricted with more closed list (Would I be add that Tech Priest to Inquisitor band? )

But of course there are the other side of the coin: With detailed lists, all these characters could be even more interesting. All my guys are really just gangers and heavies and juves when it comes to stats (apart from my Inquisitor and daemonhost, who have more invidual stats)

It would be great if they would have some simple special rules to differiate them more from each other. Tech priest might be able to repair himself and so on...

I just bought a lot of useless wargear to rep the differences (filter plugs and IR goggles for the Tech Priest for example).

Well, this is where a GM would then step in. You would have the list, but you still want some other goodies and such. Discuss it with the GM and see if (s)he approves. You then kind of have the best of both worlds here.

The "rules" and "lists" would thus only be a guideline, not doctrine that should be followed to the death.

Yeah, not surprisingly, I agree 110% with Hammer.

We wanted a system where our imagination is the starting point and the rules and scenarios cater for that and drive the whole thing. Generally it surprises me to see how hung up people are on rules and legalities, even if GW is also always telling you to do your thing with the hobby.

But this is also a possibility in our system! Like I've said from the start - all wishes are taken into consideration and it just takes a pts cost Gurk for example has a Haemonculi and a combatdrugged feline beast, both custom characters with custom rules and wargear.

I know you've got everybody here constantly throwing ideas and such at you, but I just had to show you guys this. Some dude over at Warseer called Moonduck built a Pentinent Engine which immediately made me think of =I=munda (I wonder why )!

Ok, this topic made me register... What a fantastic, inspirational line of miniatures! They breathe the atmosphere that I love about the 40K universe. Dark and gritty. Twisted and macabre. It makes me want to start converting and make a gang of my own

Well...what's stopping you?

Malika2 wrote:Well...what's stopping you?

Atm... a Daemonhunters army that I'm paiting for my brother-in-law; several seperate miniatures just for fun,and having other obligations and stuff aside from my converting-/paintingtime...

My group are playing our first =I=Munda game on monday. And after reading this blog I can't wait

Great!! Tell us how it goes!

Pictures?

Hammer, Northen, Gurk and Pete - we need to find a weekend for the next game. At our new place quite possibly

Hi all, just a quick comment here. I´m knee deep in trouble, walking in project land at the moment, so it´s doubtful that my thread will receive updates before mid december.

But I just had to say wow once again, really enjoying reading about the exploits of Harker and Styg.

Excellent work on the narrative of the campaign!

Hey Xan, I hope things ease up. I've been overly busy for quite some time too, but this coming sunday Harker, Styg, Gauer, Krikham and Veron are in toruble again

Only two more games to go!

Hey I want to do this with my group. So here comes a stupid question. Is this just Necromunda with yall creating your own gang ? I'm sure there's some where to find yall's ideas would you show me so I can start this?

ghostmaker wrote:I'm sure there's some where to find yall's ideas would you show me so I can start this?

Errr..yes, this thread

I figured that. Was just wondering where else?
But So what did yall do for game play ? Could you explain how you made the rules set's work for each other?

Getting to the finale of the Jade Vessel campaign, which should be something special and hopefully come with a Hammer special treatment report

As you know, it's far from the end for =I=munda, as there are campaigns popping up everywhere and gorgeous gangs in abundance on this forum now. We have our second campaign planned for 09, beginning in February I think. The Legion will be my gang for that, but the Sahddes offe Greye will get reinforcements for a loooong time I am sure. In fact, I have a conversion mind that is waiting for the new Ork Plastics.

Should be great, more daemonhost goodness, and inquisitor warbands at each other´s throats!

I´ll be sure to keep an eye out for that report Migs.

+ the actual Jade Vessel revealed What ever it might be

Well finally I had this done, took forever again. Thou had some actual troubles painting it. First when I primed it, the paint didn't dry properly untill after two days of waiting. Then first test on the dark part of the hull came way too blueish, so had to re-paint it all. But in the end, I am quite happy.







For the pilot I added a gas maks to hide the "yawning" mouth.

Had it on the table mostly finished for nearly a month but didn't find the time/motivation untill last friday evening to finish it. Plus now everything is ready for the grande finale.

Let me know what you think

Excellent stuff Northen, really like what you´ve done with the muted grey colour choice.

I´m imagining that you´ve purposefully stayed away from marking it in any way since it´s purpose is to be stealthy and such.

If I was to say one thing about it, it would be that the engines and the areas around them could be dirtied up a bit.
It´s a little thing, but I think it would work wonders for the realism, which is such a great thing about your other models.

Also, I had to go back and have another look at the gas mask, excellent work there, looks shiny!

One hell of a job.

I agree with Xan that a bit of blackening could be in order for the paint behind those engines. Maybe even some bluing of the exhaust areas.

Love all of the other weathering you've done on it, and the color of course, pleases me ^_^.

Hmm, something is a bit off about the metal parts, they look painted (because they are, duh! ) but what I mean to say is that while the rest of the ship looks as if those parts are those actual materials the metal components look as if they were painted metal.

I know I'm being vague here, sorry! :(

I thought you were going to include a female or mohawked pilot instead of a normal one?

Really nice work Jussi! Thanks for sharing!

If anything to improve - I think the weathering is too evenly added, the edges and the front edges in particular should take the most flack and have more. I would also like to see more blackened areas, those are really sweet.

Ha, I was just asking when I'd get to see this in Migs's legion thread and here it is!

Looks great mate, love the muted grey's and off white. The weathering around the engine intakes looks great too. No perspex canopy?

I think the metals look fine as is to be honest. Did you do anything with the interior?

Cheers,

Dante

I'm looking at the new Ork Nobs, and the two handed buzzsaw axe lad is so going to be mutated into service. I have just the plan for him, with a tweaked Ghoul head, chipped as hell armour plates and hazard stripe axe, all low saturated of course.

And I also have a plan now for the new BW, which is going to be turned into an 8 wheeled rogue =I= ride.

Gotta love the new ork plastics. I'd dump some on the Legion too, but then, big and imposing is Alpharius's domain in that lot.

Here's the intro to our finale, still fixing dates.


The Endgame

The day Ardia fell, the sky bled. All of Ragoos was ravaged by freak storms and that macabre crimson down pour. If possible the revolt, turned war, turned hell, spinned further out of control. Sector Fleet cut all legit access in or out from the doomed planet and the Black Ships arrived.

Our desperadoes, so deep in the eye of the storm that there was a dead calm, prepared for glory. They were so far out of their league. Even the fate looked upon them with sad, pitiful gaze. Walking with Giants and Daemons our group of individuals prepared, like some unfeeling miniatures on sector spanning stakes they played on.

Gauer, or rather Lord Frostschein and his destroyed army of savants had unlocked the Grimoire of Placement at a terrific price. On transit to secure it, they had sent several communiques, such security protocols that it burned seven separate cogitators trying to unravel them without authority. There was huge power now behind the young Inquisitor.

Styg, Viktor Styg, the unflinching scalpel of the Criminaliatet, would be close in on their heels, with his remaining spies working through hell with the promise of a flight out. No-one could escape their shadowing. The Syndicate needed new allies, new equiment, something to end a hawk’s eye view over the others. Something more. Something ambitious. Who might be the untapped powers to be?

Harker - oh he knew so much - he knew, because she knew and it was nearly too much. His new allies seemingly at ease with the sickening, deep evil of her... who could tolerate the daemon, where Harker’s own men were at the edge, at ends? The Daemon was so very dangerous, so hard to judge her intent, but she had devoured the information from the prisoners and she knew the songs of her realm. She burnt with the agony of control, the pentagrammic wards burning her skin like a frozen needle would cry one’s spinal chord. Would her diabolical power be enough suppressed so?

Rogue Trader Krikham had perished, too weak for the hell that was Berdia? None knew, but he had disappeared, dead or to his travels.

These three factions and many others prepared, they prayed, they pleaded or commanded what was theirs to try and they were on the move. Liber Rubas, the Great Librarium of Guntash the V, or so it had been eight thousand years ago, now just a catacomb of death, ripped open from the depths, like a maimed rib cage of some colossal continent fish. Had someone had the time to look into it, it would’ve seemed like it was the fault of the violent collapse of the Eastern Spire - infact, the Spire collapsed, because something in the heart of that catacomb so decided. Not a drop of crimson landed on these chilly, frost caked structures. This was the fatal wound of planet stabbed to death.

What do you do?
Who do you turn to?
Who else might be there?
What special plans can save you?
What stands for victory in your hear, or the ever present glare of your masters?

May the Emperor Protect you!

Thanks people.

Xan, Grey and Migs: You guys are right, working on those additional weatherings.

Malika2: No stress Changing the whole pilot would require major work as he's sculpted on to the seat. And I like the fig, thou he's somewhat emotionless face needed something, so I added the gas mask.

CMDante: I am adding the perspex later as I have temporarly misplaced it. And didn't do any interiors for two reasons. First the back hatch is almost impossible to open after assembly (atleast in my copy). Second the seam goes straigth in the middle of the ship and requires filling, and to do that for the interior after assembly is again pretty much impossible (unless you have thin and long fingers ).

Cheers!

I've just come back to Dakka (from Warseer) after many months away to find a swath of fantastic modelling threads. I'll have to keep my eye on this forum more closely!

Way back on page 5 or 6 Migs asked which issue of WD had the Alpha Legion article. Assuming you mean the Index Astartes series then according to this site it was issue 277.

Nothing exciting yet - just proof that I am working on a new Shaddes offe Greye mutant (and the "door" thing for Legion - more of which in the Legion blog) The mutie will be about having fun with rust and wear and tear effects, which I intend to really play with come painting. First he needs a few details to really show the scale and bulk. The team is really starting to have a nice variety of different body types.

Those are some pretty amazing conversions!

All of your stuff is amazing. You make me really want to convert my own gang to go kill whatever random creatures they can find.
So I guess amazing blog, amazing conversions, and models. I cant wait to see what you come up with next.

Hmmm, I'm intrigued by that little tan terrain piece, what is it?

Little bit of thread Necromancy - sorry for that - but we've agreed to play the "grande finale" after the easter tournament So one more go at Jade Vessel and then we forge plans for future =I=munda stuff that I hope to become a pacer for Legion at larger scale too.

More Jade Vessel?! Does that mean we may get to see your Wyrd Pyromaniac completed? mmmmm....Wyrd Pyro

..you.. it's.. they're... (swoon....THUD)

Excellent.... the thread that kicked my lazy converting butt in the kiber..returns!

~ Tael.

Wow, I went through the thread and can really see how much the posting culture has evolved and grown more active in a year! We remember being so disappointed with the amount of replies we were getting in the beginning and it has really changed towards the end, let alone new blogs. I think this Blog also started something that gave a dakka a hole host of inspiration.


Tael, cheers

YetiSchool, yes, I need to paint his experimental ass in an experimental, dangerous and hot scheme.

It so did, ýou´ve started something great with the =I=Munda concept, it seems to be growing a lot these days. Wow, a whole year now, huh...

Good job Migs.

The pyromancer was always my favourite so it'll be nice to finally see him painted.

SoG

Just went through your thread, saw everything, and gotta say, you stuff is awesome!
Really hope you'll be continuing this, because it's great!

Cheers,

Your new fan. (okay, not really, but you get the picture )

Migsula, I like the look on your inquisitor-warband so much that I going to copy you a bit

This threads revival is something I'm really looking forward to.

Ok lads, lets se the date - I'll email you today

yay, more Jade Vessel!

Amazing conversions and some really inspired work, these =I=Munda blogs are always a joy read.

I also agree with your earlier statement Migsula, posting trends and the diversity and engagement/discussion in blogs has really developed recently and its great to see.

Haven't played Necromunda in years but I do play Dark Heresy and was looking for some model inspiration and came upon this thread and became hooked! Just had to join to express my thanks for some lovely minature eye candy!

I'm very tempted to start playing again you have inspired me that much!

Hope to see more soon!

Great to hear Stoneblood, and welcome to dakkadakka!

Thanks Migs!

I really like your approach to the rules i.e. there aren't really any it's more about narrative and creativity! If I do start I already have some ideas as to how I'm going to go about it ruleswise.

Quick question though, I've recently moved and I don't really know anyone who I could game with locally, is it against house rules to post your location and the fact your looking for a game?

I'm itching with excitement Migs! Will the finale incorporate every player's gang?

And if you have time, would we be able to see some more pictures of Sniper Girl? I love that conversion, it oozes Blanche-ness!

Stoneblood wrote:

On the contrary. Add it to your signature, make a post on the "Find a game"-forums here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/forums/show/13.page
If you ever go to Sweden, let me know and we will have a game. And welcome to Dakka

Yes, +1 to what Mellon said!

Bottle, yes every player gang plus several NPC factions + surprises + the vessel

I have to agree with some of the above, I really want to see that pyromancer mini painted! It almost made me buy urien rakarth just to recreate it!

Cheers,

Dante

@Mellon:Thanks for the advice have taken it on board (see my sig) and am hoping to get some sort of response!

To keep the thread on target when Migs can we expect some more great Fluff, battle reports and conversions from the Jade Vessel campaign?! Also ruleswise do you think you could share what you're using for the costings of psyker powers i.e how much each one costs after you've paid the 20pts to be a pysker?

Eagerly in Anticipation!

Stone

We've sort of set on the date now, which will be 23-24th of May. Everyone and everything will be involved and it's just going to get plain crazy and OTT. A fitting finale to all the fun we had. I'm sure there's going to be another =I=munda campaign afterwards. Or possibly a combination campaign of =I=munda, 40k and Apoc!!

Here's some WIP pics of the models:

Western style witch hunter turned into a the leaders right hand man and a empire wizard converted to a technomancer





A mercenary gunslinger and psyker on the works

Please tell me where is that awesome plasma pistol taken from ? I thought its conversion but it seems to be one metal piece.
Where did you get that ?

That plasma pistol comes with that model as standard. The model is the limited edition WH that was released about the same time as the WH codex. Inquisitor Gideon Lorr, IIRC.

IIRC, it comes with the Inquisitor retinue boxed set, it isn't one metal piece as he may also be equipped with a flamer, If I'm right

Edit: Meh, Pipped to the post, it seems. Also, I wasn't right...

Akozz wrote:

It indeed comes as a standard part of the model. And the model is limited edition, first you could only get it from GW onlinestore when the WH codex came out. After about 6 months they released it for stores as limited edition also (I got two of these guys then). Now days best chance to get these would propably be eBay.

Just re-read this thread, still fantastic as evver.

I'm not sure if somepne's said this or similar but with regards to the whole lists thing - I would say don't even have restrictions as such. If each player is taking on the 'role' of an inquisitor (or other character) then that character is loosly based on themselves - go with your own feelings of what's right and wrong. Some may be strict, some may use people, some may not care at all - it just doesn't matter as long as it is enjoyable and fits in withthe over-all plot.

I think that's why I like it anyway. It's a great opportunity to express yourselves and kill some baddies (that is....those who you THINK are the baddies!)

The finale is this coming sunday and full workings in terms of the report is coming. We are setting up two cameras and have a great venue for it. Too bad our terrain set is still not limitless, but at least we have a range of decent models

Could you also do us a complete photoshoot of the entire group and associated terrain etc that you have done to this point. It would be nice to have them all in one place. Some individual shots of each member would be nice too. I know, I know, I don't ask much eh?

I agree with Dante, it would be nice to wrap the whole project up with a full pictoral.....Then we can archive the whole thing for posterity........ Imagine the posibilities of a "Dakka Completed Project Blog Forum."

We will do something very similar to WD battle reports, so I would expect that means full pictorials of the forces involved at the start!



Some great Email stories flying about already. We may have to publish some of those later too.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
The situation prior to finale:

Viktor Styg / Jussi: 15 pts

Gauer / Pete: 13 pts

Harker / Marko 13 pts

Krikham / Gurk 6 pts (m.i.a.)


Total of 25 campaign pts to fight for in the final round, though as always, some of those may go to NPC factions, or not be achieved at all.

Plus of course the winner and holder of the Vessel.




The Endgame

The day Ardia fell, the sky bled. All of Ragoos was ravaged by freak storms and that macabre crimson down pour. If possible the revolt, turned war, turned hell, spinned further out of control. Sector Fleet cut all legit access in or out from the doomed planet and the Black Ships arrived.

Our desperadoes, so deep in the eye of the storm that there was a dead calm, prepared for glory. They were so far out of their league. Even the fate looked upon them with sad, pitiful gaze. Walking with Giants and Daemons our group of individuals prepared, like some unfeeling miniatures on sector spanning stakes they played on.

Gauer, or rather Lord Frostschein and his destroyed army of savants had unlocked the Grimoire of Placement at a terrific price. On transit to secure it, they had sent several communiques, such security protocols that it burned seven separate cogitators trying to unravel them without authority. There was huge power now behind the young Inquisitor.

Styg, Viktor Styg, the unflinching scalpel of the Criminaliatet, would be close in on their heels, with his remaining spies working through hell with the promise of a flight out. No-one could escape their shadowing. The Syndicate needed new allies, new equiment, something to end a hawk’s eye view over the others. Something more. Something ambitious. Who might be the untapped powers to be?

Harker - oh he knew so much - he knew, because she knew and it was nearly too much. His new allies seemingly at ease with the sickening, deep evil of her... who could tolerate the daemon, where Harker’s own men were at the edge, at ends? The Daemon was so very dangerous, so hard to judge her intent, but she had devoured the information from the prisoners and she knew the songs of her realm. She burnt with the agony of control, the pentagrammic wards burning her skin like a frozen needle would cry one’s spinal chord. Would her diabolical power be enough suppressed so?

Rogue Trader Krikham had perished, too weak for the hell that was Berdia? None knew, but he had disappeared, dead or to his travels.

These three factions and many others prepared, they prayed, they pleaded or commanded what was theirs to try and they were on the move. Liber Rubas, the Great Librarium of Guntash the V, or so it had been eight thousand years ago, now just a catacomb of death, ripped open from the depths, like a maimed rib cage of some colossal continent fish. Had someone had the time to look into it, it would’ve seemed like it was the fault of the violent collapse of the Eastern Spire - infact, the Spire collapsed, because something in the heart of that catacomb so decided. Not a drop of crimson landed on these chilly, frost caked structures. This was the fatal wound of planet stabbed to death.

What do you do?
Who do you turn to?
Who else might be there?
What special plans can save you?
What stands for victory in your hear, or the ever present glare of your masters?

May the Emperor Protect you!

Ooooh... this I want to read.

Syndicate plans on the move

And yeah, we'r going to put extra effort on the final report.

Rogue Trader Krikham had perished, too weak for the hell that was Berdia? None knew, but he had disappeared, dead or to his travels.

Do you mean the character/model has died or that the player has lost interest? Either way can't wait for the finale and hopefully a more Jade Vessel eye candy!

MOAR PICS!!!!

Awesome work on the armies, it's great to see how much character you and Hammer can squeeze of out of your minis!

WOW! Is it really you mate?? Long time no see/hear. I hope everything is going great!

Oh the extent of miracles this blog has pulled

I've wet myself...

Heya!

Life is great. I'll send you a PM later today and we'll get caught up. Great to see you're still putting out amazing creative work!

Sadly we had to postpone the finale, because I finally got my first flue of the year. I've been flirting with it for a while, with everyone around me having had the flue several times these past months.

Now my turn.

So everyone has to wait a little more before we see the ending

Sorry folks still no finale.

But while we are still searching for common time for the final I toughed to do something to help us out when the day comes. Had some extra time this week (never toughed I said that) and managed to scrape together this.











Nothing too special, built it using the Hive battle world set and some random bitz laying around. And extra terrain for the JD finale is never waste

That terrain is pretty damn good if you ask me. I ll have to look over this thread.

I havent seen that necromunda terrain in longer than I can comfortably remember!!

Fantatic work so far on the Gang, cant wait to see the finished result

F I N A L L Y it looks like the finale is going to happen a week from now. We will do our best to make it worth the wait fr you guys.

In other news, our =I=munda group is going crazy with certain rumours

Sources say to expect it in Q3 2009, and we have heard tales of modular plastic boards, an extensive set of large scale sprues with all the termys and genestealers you can shake a stick it, and all new fancy elements such as sliding doors and the like. There might even be a need for batteries (perhaps). Expect a full sized boxed game that will make all you cry with tears of joy.

This sounds plain WICKIID!

Imagine also the potential for all the =I=munda action and other skirmish setups!

Ah =I=Munda revival...

Great job on the old Necromunda terrain, it looks really good.

YESSSSSS! Since losing my job have been checking this forum nearly everyday for news on said campaign so thank you Migs you have made one addicts day and cheered me up too so thanks again!

Sure the content will be as good as ever!

Eagerly awaiting the finale,

StoneBlood

Still no finale, but we'r getting very close. Meanwhile got this done for our finale at the last moment



Now we have something to land our speeders on

Very nice.

Anyway, Migsula I just wanted to share my appreciation for this thread and the awesome inspiration it has offered me as a modeler, and My group might be doing a psuedo-][-Munda campaign were our HQ+Retinue are our gangs and anytime we have to call in an army for a scenario it's just for one battle, should be fun.

Cheers

JV Finale / Part One / Dramatis Factions


"The most dangerous minds sense it’s growing presence, the omens and the leads, and like vultures they arrive from all corners of the sector and beyond to find it, to destroy it, to claim it, to decide the faith of Berdia, the Planet and the entire sub-sector! Rogue Traders, Facilitators, Star Striders, Magoi, and the agents of the Inquisition will battle out the outcome in a secret war of importance beyond the understanding of man."

(images @1300x800 resolution for your viewing pleasure! - sorry for the long text lines, but images count, eh?)



The Syndicate

“Faciliator” Styg, Viktor
Syndicate Agent (unknown family ties, suspected consigliere level master)
Inner Circle sanctioned Investigation team leader, Blunt, Class Alpha Arbites target (137 counts), known to employ psykers and mercenaries.

Not all decision on Ragoos are made by planetary officials (some say that very few actually).

Syndicate makes a major player in this planets political field, some doubt that they can even affect the whole sector if they want to. Syndicate has it's hands on everything, trade, politics, PDF, faith, cults and of course on the Ragoos precious nutrition farms. The organization can offer anything man desires, money, power, goods or something you can't find anywhere else. The syndicate can also enforce their will on important people if they want to either by bribe or extorcion, they can have anyone they need to do their bidding. Syndicate works on the hives every level, noble houses fight for their cause in political arenas, where syndicates agents whisper their aims from the shadows for their public representatives. Lower levels the hive gangs  sold stims, drugs and other illegal items supplied by the syndicate. Also some the hives guilds are on syndicates pay roll, working as their factories to produce goods for the trade. Syndicate is lead by group of powerful men called the inner circle.

One of the agents who works for the syndicate is Viktor Styg. He's known as facilitator, a consigliere and a captain and by many other names. Viktors job is to make things happen as the syndicates pleases. Be it to collect dirt on noble mans nightly hobbies or to negotiate a deal with a hive gang to distripute syndicates stims. Viktor has the subtle skills to talk to a noble and the threatning aura to make street mugger respect him.

The recent events on Ragoos has made the inner circle a bit interested about situation as the unrestliness at the lower levels is disturping the drug sales. Angry mobs are turning to vigilantism and executing drug dealers, the noble houses power struggle has tightened and lots of recourses have to be put into maintaining status quo. Factories have been put under juristiction of PDF to produce equipment for them. Cults are ignoring syndicates orders and perfoming wild rituals to enforce the chaos and mayhem. Viktors current employer Orgho Wharts has asked Viktor to look into the matter. Orgho is obnoxious character, fat pig of a man answering only to the inner circle and sneaking his way into to the circle itself. Viktor would gladly get rid of the bastard and maybe even take his place in the syndicates hierarchy. It was mostly thanks to Viktor that Orgho had made it that far.

Orgho hasn't given Viktor the access to the usual recources. He says that whole thing will be over in few weeks and doesen't realy matter the syndicate that much, which puzzels Viktor. He has gathered intell of his own, and he knows that something big is about to happen, and that it's not safe to venture into the lower levels without proper equipment at the given time. Has Orgho realised Viktors desire to dispose of him, is Orgho sending him to die in some random gunfight in the lower levels or atleast to fail in given task thus stripping him of his rank and removing the immideat threath opposed by him.

Luckily for Viktor he's intel has shown that there is something down there that's making all this fuzz, something big and he means to have it and use it to get rid of Orgho.

Now Viktor has spent few weeks in the lower sections gathering clues with his team. He's predictions have come true. There is indeed something down here. The cults have gone mad about it, the big gangs are also after it, he has even seen signs that the ordos might be involved. Fortunate for him he was able to pull some strings in order to gather up his team.

Vargo Biel has been long time with Viktor. Allways following him from his shadow, never saying much. He's Viktors right hand man, he can make his dirty work happen. Vargo was his enforcer, usefull on in negotiations to to frighteng and to assasinate to opposite side if the negotiations went wrong.

Celena was unsanctioned psyker raised by the syndicate. Viktor hasn't worked with her before, but he has met some of her kind at his line of work. She was clad in weird white bodyglove covered in hexagrammic wards. On her head she wore white scarf that blindfolded her, but still somehow she was abel to see. She kept to herself most of the time reading a book she carried everywhere it's pages inscibed with series of arcane text that made Viktor feel unwell if he stared them for too long. She would come in handy if it was true that the ordos were involved.

Karl Glean was Viktors recent foundings. Karl was heavily build man who knew his job well, it wasn't usual to find his kind of brute who could keep his head sober as Karl did. To Viktor's knowledge Karl didn't use any illegal stuff which was the problem with he's kind of guys usually. Karl spent his cash on brothels, not just anyone but on the ones that let you do anything, Viktor didn't want to know what Karl did there. But Viktor was yet to find anyother than Karl who had that good aim with autocannon.

Vys was low life thief who had been on the run because of his gambling debts. Viktor trakced him down and saw the potential in his skills with security and cocigators. So Viktor paid Vys's debts, and now Vys worked for him.

Han Riker was mercenary whom Viktor had hired for the assigment. Han was ex-guard by the looks Viktor thoughed, worn camoflouge suit and rattling carpace armour. He's choice of arms was boltgun which was no guard issue. Thou bit worn, he's equipment was expensive which gave out that he was good at his work.

Jamal was hired from gang that worked for the syndicate. He was a basic grunt from the streets, but he knew his way around in the lower levels, which made him valuable to Viktor.

Few days ago Viktor got his hands into classified a pic-record with help of Vys, now he started to see the pieces moving.




Harker

Inquisitor Harker, Calliber Johann
Ordo Xenos, Ordos (Unknown), Suspected Radical (x)
Psyker, Martial minded, employs brute force.

A solitaire figure stood in a ruined doorway, gazing into the murky gloom. His eyes roamed over the harsh landscape of the city ruins as his mind sank deeper into the darkness of his core, searching for the strength to carry on for just a day longer.

Emperor, hast thou forsaken me?

Calliber Johann Harker, Inquisitor of the Ordo Malleus, considered this question over and over while seeking to assert his faith in the God Emperor of the mankind. But the familiar calm of the Emperors presence seemed to elude his best efforts to find it.

Have I crossed over already? Am I now that which I abhor?

There was no need to turn around to sense the presence of the unholy thing close by. The daemon host stood silent behind him, waiting… always waiting. It had been unusually calm for the past days. The seemingly constant tuck of the connection between the man and the daemon was gone. The daemon host had felt subdued and quiet after it had ripped the knowledge from the mind of the cultist priest, revealing the place where the Jade Vessel was to be found. Perhaps it knew that the Inquisitor was now closing on the heart of the mystery and it wanted to get there as eagerly as the Inquisitor did?

Still, Harker was grateful for the brief respite from the daemons constant testing of the bond. He knew it wouldn’t last long.

The rest of the retinue stood farther back in the room, wary of the daemon host. It felt like a miracle that they had stayed with the Inquisitor so long, despite the corrupting presence of the unholy thing that the Inquisitor had invited into the world. It was the proof of their unwavering loyalty to the Inquisitor.

Eduard Navarro, the interrogator and right hand of the Inquisitor had sworn to follow him to the very pit of hell if that was where the Inquisitor would be going. And looking at the desolate landscape before him, perhaps that was not too far-fetched an image after all.

May the Emperor bless you, my friend.

Eva Kosutic, the arbitrator, had stood with the Inquisitor almost as long as Navarro had. She was fiercely loyal and could almost fool the Inquisitor into thinking that she feared nothing the future might throw before the small retinue. But Harker could sense the mounting terror inside the woman. The presence of the Host gnawed constantly at the minds of the people around it and only the strongest willed could stand it this long.

Courage.

Nicodemus Quarth, the priest of the ecclesiarch, already showed the strain of his rapidly fraying faith as he fought the doubts bubbling in his mind. Was he still doing the Emperors work? Or was the abomination of the Daemon hosts construction been a mortifying mistake after all? The priests struggle to keep his faith was mirrored in Harkers own battle against his doubts.

Strength, brother.

Velvet, the last remaining combat servitor, seemed to be content standing in the presence of the Host. How Harker envied the simple mind of the servitor and her utter faith in her master. There was no doubt in her eyes, no regrets, just simple, patient obedience.


Chastity Kross, the hard bitten bounty hunter that Harker had hired to guide him through the underworld of the great hive, stood even further back from the Host. She did not like the situation at all, but Harker could admire her moral fiber. She had taken his coin and now she would stay with him all the way to the end. She was a woman of her word.

What more could ask of you?

Harker turned back towards the doorway and contemplated the situation again. He was so close now; he could almost feel it in his hands.

The Jade Vessel.

Prefers to operate in the shadows with his band of brothers: guard, hive gang, etc. Political agenda unknown, Blunt




Shaddes Offe Greye

Mutant King Norev Gaah
Suspected psyker (Gamma level?) - some suspect untouchable. Powerful new player, identity unknown, Arbites Class Beta target. // Cross reference, Inquisitor Veron Haag - ROGUE, Extermis Diabolicia... +++ security clearance inadequate +++
Suspected Private Army of mutants – re. “Children of Contempt”


As the day before, and those before it, a deep, mustard hued mist hung around the endless rusty hacks of the east end. A huge bulky twist galloped towards the epicenter of this excuse of a Hive Sector. After him came two others, inhumanely thin, twisted even for twists sort of twists. And a Twist with a long pointy hat and no left arm. Then a group of four, or rather three carrying something that looked like a fourth.

Fething feth - where are they all going? He knew of course, but why? Gevlan cursed his deformed back that ached after the long stalk, and then slipped into the night, moving with stealth and swiftness totally unexpected of his appearance.

The old Theatrum was a huge, rotting carcass of armaplas and steel gridwork, punctured by a massive support structure of the hive above. There was something organic about the place, something that reminded Gevlan of Magidor Gamma, and the Endoskel Forests. What a campaign that had been.

He could see the dribble of twists feed the mammoth building through the gateways that appeared well guarded. He didn’t need them of course, he knew all the ways in and out, like he did everywhere within day march of the old barracks that he still considered his home, post... home.

Inside the sense of scale was disorienting. Particularly when surveyed from the western audit balcorium, full 70 yards higher than the floor beneath. The place was packed with twist. Gevlan made a passing snorting sound, that made for laughter, a place packed full of twists always made for twisted viewing. He started walking down the memory lane again, the Hubberian Twist wars ... a quick hush in the crowd brought him back to present with a pause a lone, skeletal figure appeared on stage, moving with other worldly grace, almost like gliding over the aged tiles. He was glad in gleaming black metallic armor and a long dark grey cape of nothingness hung from his gaunt shoulder guards to form a stark contrast to his pallid white, skull of a face. Teal pipes and tubes fluttered where his chin and ears should have been. Gevlan decided the skull face was the most twisted of the twists, even if he wasn’t really a twist.

A tiny twist with a head three times too big appeared behind the shadowy cape, seemingly adamant to gain certain distance from mr. Master Twist . Then Skullface spoke. Or Gevlan heard him speak, for there was no way to tell if his mouth was moving. Or if he had a mouth. It occurred to him he shouldn’t hear him anyway from the distance.

He was a master orator, as the total silence of the twist audience underlined. Gevlan could feel his heart beating as the message started to sink in. His beardy mouth started to form a smile, but that smile died on his lips and his heart missed a beat. A cold metal ring was pressed dead centre against his spine - dozens of simultaneous thoughts jarred his brain - a Thor, or Mars Pattern assault shotgun, or possibly a compact boltgun; how did someone, something, ambush the scout chief like this? who had a piece like that in the twist lands?... After what felt like all of his utterly dull last week, with his nightmares imposed on, he could feel the pressure lighten, then detach. Gevlan turned slowly, keeping his lascarbin pointed on the floor. The twist looked bad. Tall with sinewy muscularity, grey skin with pointy metal dispensers poking out and a crudely painted white face - Gevlan couldn’t tell in the loom, but it looked like the feth had stiched his mouth shut with something thick and caked in crimson. And the Thrice Damned Feth wore yellow rain boots. This was death incarnate. In yellow boots. Sick Feth.

A Second figure peeked from the door of the shadowy balcorium, she was a goddes - and announced matter of factly that the boss wants a word. Gevlanhad a pretty good idea who that Boss might be. He slowly made for the door, somewhat comforted by the presence of the young lady and the fact they let him keep all of his weapons. Passing the door he dared a quick glance at the lady again, but to his horror this side of her face was a lump of burned scar tissue, and a sickly yellow lidless eye that emitted light and made the scar tissue glow horridly in a mustard hue.

We are Legion


They needed to find him and find him they did. Didn’t feel that way now, did it. It was fething cold, the humidity of the earlier thunder rains was whisked around by the brisk sea wind flowing through the forgotten docklands. The full moon cast a pale, icy glare that froze the shadows of the stand off.
There he was, in rugged civilian clothes, armed with a brace of pistols, Sgt. Jargassor, whom all needed to find - the least of their concerns now.

The entire hunt team had their retinas transfixed on the massive being next to him. A dozen weapons of different make pointed at him for what little difference it made. Standing two and a half meters, a god of war, clad in a huge suit of armor the color of night, the giant stared back, immoveable like a statue, yet radiating explosiveness like an unstable flux core reactor.

The wind turned only to punctuate the stalemate.

‘I am Alpharius, We are Legion‘ The giant announced in a distinctive, flowing, silky, yet authoritarian voice.

Great to see all of the gangs in full, though I noticed a few of the Legion are missing?

Cheers,

There Did you time it ?

I made a fumble and had to fix it.


SPECIAL THANKS to Slayer Sword Winner Jakob Rune Nielsen, who was so inspired by our little =I=munda project that he converted and painted two gorgeous models and borrowed them for our finale! Warm thanks mate We are very sad to send the valiant fighters back

I was going to say, great to see Jakob's mini's there and it sounds like a cool little bit of background you have worked in to explain them.

Shame he couldn't make it over to participate too.

I guess the report is still to come?

Cheers,

Dante

Very nice work,lovely backround for some of the gangs.Now give us that report I will be forced to beat you with a large frying pan.LOL.

Simply Beautiful! The painted Terrain really brings everything all together. An Important step most people skip over.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude! Wow! Just wow...

I really love all those extra figures such as the Hive Guardian and so on!

Wow! *speachless* The minis are so...WOW!!!!

wow, this is simply amazing; just all of it, lore, rule tweaks and the minis, god the minis. amazing !!!

Thanks guys!

Yes, this is just PART1! Hammer's writing the report, Northen is taking care and shopping the birdseyeview pics and I'm doing the rest. It takes quite a bit of time and we are not paid to do it like the WD team, so it will take more time

Plus I'm in Stockholm for 8 days now.

Wow! Just freakin' Wow! That is all beautiful and inspiring work!

Hats off to you.

That's Awesome

Gorgeous. Seeing the various gangs and agents and players assembled.... This is the kind of project that keeps me in the hobby. For real.

Incredible.

sA

You just keep the inspiration coming! Awesome as ever!

That just brought a tear in my eye, so beautyfull!

Thanks for sharing!

Agreed with all above posters, a lot of really impressive models and terrain. Great report, looking forward to the ending

Due to this blog iam starting up an =I=munda campaign should be awesome . All this stuff looks great .

Holy mother of mercy, i think i had a crisis ! ( top gear watchers will know what i mean)

These models are fantastic !

I'm having to steal some of your ideas

I forgot to ask, what is Inquisitor Revtch made from ?!

from a Lotr Ringwraith, SOB feet, plastic SM auspex shoulder pads and gs sword.

Excellent showing Migs and Co. It is really great to see all the models painted and brought together like this. One can really see the gang's themes come together, as well as marvel at the different approaches everyone took in making them their own.

Well done sirs!

A hearty congratulations to you Migsula and all the modellers involved, I love it; the models, the terrain, the background detailing all the factions. A most inspiring read!

The yellow boots part will always be my favourite part though for some reason.

Now you've suitably paved the way, I'm looking forward to the report now.

yes me too , report , report , report . I know its a process so Il be patient .

great work... i'm looking forward to the report

always happy to see such an inspiring work

Thanks for all the nice comments people, it's realy nice to hear that so many were inspired by this project.

Hammer is supposedly writing the report now, so shouldn't be long.

Awesome

Must be fun playing a campaign there

Hammer, let us know where you at mate!??

Excellent stuff as ever Migs, it´s great to see the level of perfection you guys are shooting for with this last report. I am very happy to see that you are giving the campaign a proper sendoff.

All of my stuff had to be put on hold sadly, as I have been crazy busy. Apparently, helping organize a music festival is quite time consuming....

I am looking forward to the report.

Edit: Spelling...

Lovely work, great models. Such diversity in approach, technique and painting finish. Brilliant stuff. Am I correct that those cadian commandos are an older collection of yours Migs? I swear I recognise a couple from work some time back.

best,
Tael.

I can't think of much to say about this really. I am simply in love with a lot of the minis produced here and the fluff that goes with it. I am inspired to do my own thing like this but not until I have done my Renegade army. Must be good...

Yeah, IG Commandos are from my IG army that is actually for sale at the moment

Just talked to Hammer, who's being a little elusive about writing the report. He said maybe sunday... Sorry it's taking so long, we kinda split the tasks to somehow manage this and some people are punctual some the opposite. But atleast his reports have been big hits in the past!

We'll have to send in a special ops team to hunt him down then!

Can't wait for the report lovely minis!

Lovely stuff!
Please Hammer, post the report before next friday (aug 7th)! After that I'll be on a camping trip for two week (no Internet)...

I am in love sir Migsula!

please report we are dieing.....for the emperor please we beg it of you. (gets shot in the head, begging gets you killed in 40k)

yeah you guys rock.

My group and myself are going to star a =][= campaign as well thanks to you. I have already started working on some models,

but I just really wanted to say that this was a great thread and I'm looking forward to not only only the last report but also what you're going to do next

It may have been mentioned elsewhere, but I couldn't find it, so I'll ask; what happened to the pyromancer?

SoG

This is one of my fav threads! Amazing stuff!

A Warrior God in midnight armour offered him a job.

ie. he will be leading a psyker battle squad for Legion

Glad to see he's found employment. He's my favourite model you've done.

SoG

Sorry for the wait, guys. I'm processing the pictures right now... but there's a lot of them! I managed to remove the worst ones and that brought the picture count from 98 to 70... I need to get that picture number down without "hurting the story" too much.

Few more days.

Good I can't wait

Congrats this is awesome

Hi mate - I'll just like to ask, what did you use to make your bases
Cheers Merchant

Bravo Hammer! Thoroughly enjoyable and memorable! And I was there in the first place

Merchant - those bases were done simply from a sheet of plastic tiling I bought from a hobby expo years ago.

Oh okay thanks mate

I love the battle report with comic book vibe.
Everything in your thread is very well done and inspiring.

Hey Migsula and crew, great stuff, glad to finally see the finale!

I do have one question, In the above picture of the beginnings of Inquisitor Gauer's retinue, what did you you use for the bionic foot on those Cadian legs? Is it from a servitor of some type?

So Migsula, after we get the exciting conclusion to this, what is on your plate next?

Once I get my Homeboys motivated, I'll start a blog although I'm not sure it will be as enjoyable as this one.

Just keeps getting better!

It's already started

I hope to run a Planetary invasion campaign to Rhisienne eventually, with =i=munda, 40k and Apoc games all tied together, with possible BFG too.

With the lessons learned from this though, it may be a different set up and more mutually committed as one half of our games group has the focus span of a rat and a cucumber respectively and the second half can be overbearing and overly active

Blammo!

So much character in this thread. Really fun log to follow.

THE END

Thank you for reading the report!

Wow,nice report.Had a nice ending.Hope to see some more from you guys in future.

That was fantastic.

Really makes me wish I had some local mates who would be willing to make and narrate a campaign like this, the quality is really tremendous!

I applaud every effort you guys have made as a team and as artists, and this has been a brilliant and interesting project to follow.

Huzzah!

sA

Awesome, took some reading to catch up but was well worth it. Great terrain too, keep it up!

Total awesome on the whole thing!

Beautiful models all around and big, epic moments and action. Just like gaming should be!

And yeah, total mad props for Col. Hammers report too!

And complete awe for the temple structure terrain where much of the action seemed to take place...

Thanks guys, this whole project have been a pleasure to observe.

"Who's the Man!?" LOL

The ammo dumb hammer

I AM SO RUNNING ONE OF THESES AT MY CLUB , sorry for the caps I was a little excited .

Great stuff guys and Hammer, well done on an entertaining yet concise report mate.

@ Migs, Northern and Hammer and (JRN!) - Top notch scenery, story, and above all, figures!

Looking forward to Legion and possibly Broodheim?

Cheers,

Dante

This wouldn't be you would it....

Wow, just wow.

Lovely terrain and a very entertaining report! Kudos to all involved.

Any chance that the Jade Vessel will reappear in future storylines? I have a feeling there's quite a bit more to discover about it...

Damn you! Damn you ! Your incredable battle report is infecting me with =I=munda fever !!!

Seriously though this is really nice, and tahnksfor the visual effects, makes it nicer to look at and more realistic.

Loving the models too, wish I had a group to fdo this with :(

Thakn you people for the kind words!

Now, having used my mad Paint skills and done all the CGI in the report, I can propably wait for the job offers from WETA workshop or ILM.


Oh, by the way, all terrain in the reports are made by Migsula and Northen, execpt the big central "cathedral" piece that was done by Sickbunny. It's great to play in nice terrain indeed!

I vote you create a basic "Make your own =][=munda Guidebook.

I vote you create a basic "Make your own =][=munda Guidebook.

I second that!

Automatically Appended Next Post:
I think there where a lot of lessons learned and we really had a wonderful time and I think the campaign created some of the best GW hobby miniatures of all time, in how not only was the modeling creative and dedicated, but the characters really came alive and some were second incarnations of valiant or emergent heros.

I'd like to thank and Congratulate Northern for winning the campaign and generally being in a class of his own in how he treated everyone with utmost respect in his team effort, keeping to every schedule and participating in all the expected ways. Hammer once again created great models, wrote a few really nice stories and provided us with a few absolutely awesome reports - many thanks mate! My little brother Pete was a great addition to the early parts of the campaign and a serious contender before missing the summer action due to a Tennis tournament abroad. Gurkmannen sadly left the scene after game two and pretty much failed every single team deadline before that, but we hope to have him for the next campaign in better circumstances

Northern took and shopped some great overview images from the report that I strongly recommend you guys checking out. Our battlereporter had problems integrating them to his report, but check them our for a nother angle at the action.

example:



rest of them can be found here:

Credit to you all, this has been a lot of fun to watch develop. The big end scrum was extra groovy (nice work Hammer), with so many gangs, old and new, going head to head. Speaking of gangs, I just made sure to save all those gang shots, loads of inspiration in there. In particular Hammer's 2 servitorettes - those have gotten me thinking all morning about things to do with this box of plastic 'nettes I've had sitting on my work desk for 6 months

- Salvage

Brilliant finale!

Amazed the heavy bolter took down the Valkyrie!? hahah.. bad day for all on board.

Not to mention the amount of .."It ends here arch-rival- SMACK! The antagonist goes down... seemed trying to settle any old scores was punished with hardcore karma.

Superb campaign with such a richly photographed report, ..shame about Alpharius, was hoping to see some serious Astartes a--kicking from him. No doubt this will ensure =I=Munda will be around for some time to come.

Time to browse those images you posted there Migs..

~ Tael.

It was actually an autocannon that took down the Valkyrie - ACs are SICK in =I=munda S8, sustained dice and also inflict d6 wounds!

As for the Daemon Host, it is important to tell everyone that an unbound Daemon Host (Malleus Majoris) has a stat line of pure 10s and a 4+ inv save!!! You know, the kinda being that took down a titan in Eisenhorn, so as bad as as our marines are (stat line of almost only 5s) nothing much, but specific kit and pariahs can stand against an unbound host. But then without bounding, there was also zero control for hammer other than to kill kill kill

I just recently found this thread and I have been reading it intently. I registered here just to say that this thread is full of some very inspirational conversions and painting and although I don't claim to know anything about =I= munda as it were, I think your whole gaming group has come up with some very atmospheric conversions full of creativity. Also I am not one for battle reports, but I found these thoroughly interesting and love all of the little extra details like sound effects and motion lines. Great job to you all and I look forward to seeing what you come up with next.

Thanks for all the kind words people.

Brilliant report Hammer, just the ending this game deserved.

And big thanks for Migs organizing this whole mess

Yeah the autocannon is pretty sweet in munda, about 10 wounding hits in the finale alone (and four passed ammo rolls )

And the next instalment has indeed begun as migs is doing his legion and me and hammer are doing some space puppies.

Good job guys. Excellent to see that you got your finale done, and kicked some major butt.

Loved the additional characters also, they really made things more hectic, as one would expect of such a climactic endgame.

Again, I congratulate you on having completed a wonderful tale. This one´s a keeper!

I've just opened a new folder so I can fit all this GD standard conversion work tidy. There just so much of it! I felt it would be a waste not to use this thread as insperation for my own projects Great work guys

Oh and migs what rules did you use for your Mutant Kings pariah if you don't mind me asking?Thanx

hehe i thought the space amrine would actualy do summit ^^

absolutely amazing... i really liked it 0.0 i gtta get my m8s to do this

Souped up =I= with power armour, psycannon, inferno pistol and wraith sword (little like a force sword), he also had tons of kit like skull chips and photo contacts etc. Overall he cost half of the entire mutant gang. All of our leaders also had 3 W as default.

Thanx Migs

sooo, migsula i wont lie i've been reading here and there, mostly skiming through as im acctually sitting at work *glances over shoulder to see if boss is watching*
i was wondering, is there a compilation of all the rules yet? because that would be full of win and awesome ^_^
Btw im loving the conversins, and the battle reports look really in depth ^_^

hello, can you describe the pieces
used for your inquisitor Haag?
Thank you so much.

Dude. 2 month old thread. Not cool.

I'm going to leave this thread open in case the original poster would like to add to it. However, do not just add to this thread.

Thank you.

WOw , i have never come upon such well written , well painted , awesome fluff gang! Very nice work my lad *takes off hat*

Duuuude....

TBH I wouldn't call this thread necromancy as he is actually asking something specific about it rather than just going 'awesome' or 'mooooaaar!' like I've seen some necromancers doing (yes, you Scrazza).

Just to add some value to this post, the models are awesome. Particularly like the Kasrkin gang, some really nicely painted fatigues and they look like special forces despite not having an enormous amount of custom work done to the models themselves.

it's not thread necromancy if it's a BLOG!

So? What does the fact that its a blog have to do with the fact that somebody (who isnt a contributor to the project) revive without really contributing to it?

is it ok to bring back your own, long dead blog?

Yes, it is OK.

Threadnomancy rules don't apply in the Painting and Modeling Forums, for the most part.

Great.

Im gonna stop now before I become hypocritical.

DC

Hah - looked this up for a friend and founf the thread necromancy discussion.

Yes, please do keep the blog open, as it is stirring again and some of the individuals found in this BLOG will feature again

Sweet.
Keeping the dream alive.

Migsula, wherever I find excellence, I find you... this blog (and those models,) is raising the eyebrows of my friends who used to play Necromunda... and were interested in Inquisitor... and now we're getting guys interested who never played either but are intrigued by what they read here... that vampire-sith-lord-looking guy... just beautiful.

I think we're going to start an I-munda campaign as well... there was talk of starting a site and I'd love to contribute when we get the ball rolling. It's in the baby stages, but this weekend will be concepting my guys as well as looking at suitable models to convert and chop up.

I'm looking forward to more inspiration and action from this... SUBSCRIBED.

Thanks for the kind words

Do keep us informed when you get started!!! A blog would be great.

It's not flattery. I'd like to think of myself as being pretty creative, but that vampire lord converted into that metallic ass-kicker just about floored everything else I've ever thought of... aha ha ha ha ha ha...

And definitely. I'll be keeping it posted, perhaps link it to the forums here at Dakka. It's in the planning stages, and I've got 3 friends on board with me, and waiting on 3 others to see if they want to start out with the initial campaign.

Still thinking of the "hook" item to start the narrative, something that all of our respective bands covet, and will definitely be willing to shed blood over... oh, and doing the layout for the new blog. I'll post the link as soon as I finish if you ladies and gentlemen would like to check it out. Blog name, page layout, hook item, members, models, photos... mix my grad school up, and I'm going to be needing the other gang leaders to help manage and write for this project. And definitely, a shout out to you and your gang, Migsula for starting us down this dark road!

Thanks again!

I don't think a word with such connotations as 'threadomancy' should apply to work Migsula. Like most of us, his work is what got me back into the hobby after a long hiatus and he also managed to inspire my Necro gaming group to finally listen to me and start playing. Not to mention that he also got me interested in keeping my own blog.

If there's anyone who has earned threadomancy resistance, it's totally Migs.

Not just me, but the whole group. We started something that sprung dozens of new blogs at dakka, a real =I=munda fever. I think a Modeling Hall of Fame of some sort, built on a chronological browser as part of dakkadakka would be great and benefit a lot of people. This blog ought not to wither yet.

New people still come in and see the =I=Munda name and ask questions and send PMs when it's all here

The group made a decision not to post on other forums, Dakka only, as me and Hammer have been frequenting this forum and it's incarnations for ten years! This is how we met.

There's still the option for "=I=Munda.com" though. Maybe if I find a Legoburner like collaborater

If I had the knowledge or skills required I'd love to help out with the proposed =I=Munda.com problem is I've had no experience with websites at all really, just low level forum management.

Hello,

I don't want to do post necromancy, but inspired by this post and the other original inq28 and =i=munda contributions, I have started my own project. I wanted to get some ideas of your projects and perhaps incorporate some of yours to my own projects. Yet, the pictures are gone. Would it be possible to get them back or at least make a post compiling all the important post (maybe only the ones you posted?). The Jade Vessel is a really great topic for all those starting with inq28 and it would be great to have it back.

Thank you.

I thought, all pics were at Dakka galleries, maybe not.

Most of it should be in either mine or Northen's Dakkadakka galleries.
