and now with me tipping over the page count to a cool sounding number, I' going to take my ass off to bed and start the prologue of the Calliope rewrite... night all!!!
Childe, I have quite a few Escher laying around looking for a good home or street corner. The plasma cannon heavy has a rebuilt cannon. Check my warfrog blog to see the press mold replacement. I am on holiday right now but I can get photos around Monday. I have a lot of extra gangers from other factions as well if anyone is interested.

You sir, are a LEGEND. I shall check that blog now. monday will be great for the photo's!!!
I just thought the gate itself was the bottom left and it was showing the bridge to it. It is missing the titan guards though so probably isn't anyway.
As to the city, i suspect it is terra as there are custodes in the bottom left. However, i highly doubt its the palace gates, itll just be a random place on terra. Captures the look of a 40k city for me perfectly though.
and jeepin...that that cool city in the heart of china isn´t it?
Xuron...It's a brand of tools...damn good tools too!
The big nips are for cutting HO and N scale brass track cleanly and without burrs and dingleberries, but WE know what it will be used for!
LOL..no Jeeping- I drove The Jeep to Ohio, and to the game shops, and back It was a beautiful day, top off, doors off, just like this pic. But that badass lift kit it has makes it rough-riding at 65 MPH, more like riding a V8 horse
those clippers look good and the description make them sound even mightier^^
and mate... did i ever tell you that i would have loved to own such a cavemans dream of a car... too bad i am dumb as a log to get my drivers liscense^^...spent way too much money on that only to realize i cant keep my eyes focused on the street enough... i am better suited as a aide in the car as a driver myself... but boy that jeep wrangler is such a cool looking thing... well my wife gets hysterics when she thinks about gas and such things... but i think you americans still get your gas for free
HAHAHA..Hardly..I paid $3.43/gallon today in Ohio (less taxes there than Indiana)-But it isn't very fuel-efficient, so it sits in the garage unless it is a nice day out like today
I also found this OOP kit in the back of a back shelf, I was soo excited I always wanted one, but it was a limited run thing- This is for a LATER project Cheap too! $57!! after discounts and some sucker-punching negotiation! They didn't know they had it in stock, and it wasn't in their computer- price tag said $75!
That's a great lookin jeep and ork buggy. We have a scrambler that keeps changing hands in our family that is awesome this time of year. Also the xuron snips are a great choice, I love mine.
could have been worse lols... could have done the same shot 20 times and not got it right like I did once... stupid timer... I need a damned wireless remote *sassafrassarassa*
and yes, It was as funny... made me laugh out loud lols
Looks pretty sweet. The missiles going to get any weathering or going to stay the pristine white? Just curious as I figured Orks wouldn't exactly be careful with them and sort of scuff them up a bit.
@Not_U- I haven't added any scuffs yet..spongework still to come. I figured I might as well do it all at the same time. THis paitnjob is taking longer than I expected, but I like it, so I don't really want to take too many shortcuts.

Hey dave,
I'm glad you continued with the Harrrrrrier - now my ATHENA AA batteries have some target practice Even though, the Buggy will be nice to fire upon too
Keep it up man! ...hmm, still have some left....
Here, take them:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Except the rules for the Ork flyers are nerfed for air-to-air combat for some reason. The only modifiers given are for "non-skimmer" vehicles. I can only speculate that the purpose of that rule was to make them only viable as infantry support in regular 40k games. Although if they would give us a nice plastic Thunderbolt fighter, we could easily run a 40k scale game of "Bommers over da Sulphur River"
Automatically Appended Next Post: ok...small misake- I just read it again...the Dakkajet has to buy a 10 pt UPGRADE called "Fighta Ace" to get +1 BS vs. Skimmer types
Otherwise, it would be a turkey shoot (for the Human BS3!) IMHO - Since the Dakkajet gets the +1 BS vs. non-skimmers by default with "Strafing Run"
...The Blitza Bommer drops a pieplate, but the Burna Bommer would not be able to do any damage except to the Athena's crew eh?
What do you guys (with more playing experience than I) think?- Would this game be do-able?
because they are skimmers, wouldn't it be a problem if the juets didn't move, just sat there and shot turn after turn? -You'd almost need to change the turn sequence a bit..
After every turn, roll a scatter dice and 1d6" banking for planes?
1. Ork approach (movement)
2. Athena's long range shooting (Overwatch)
3. Athena launches fighters (movement)
4. Dogfight (Shooting)
5. Ork Assault (Shooting, Bombing, Burning)
6. Athena's short range defenses get a shot (shooting)

Rogue Wolves wrote:Dave its happened, maybie they are just too lazy to give you 1 sprew, instead they send you a whole box.. its happened to a guy at my store who was missing half a horse in the blood knight box
Bargain much?!
tbh the sprue thing is usually to do with the fact when cast they are one piece with a "snap" section so they break into two to be boxed. they don't want half kits laying about so its easier to write an entire box off for tax than to attempt to write half a box off for tax. Logical? not really, but don't complain too much
Yeah Dave, they will as for some codes off the box and then they will ship you a fresh replacement,,,,it is weird how they do it, just accept the fact that you will be up to your armpits in Orks.
The Trukk Sprue is full-sized, not a half sprue. Nowadays everything is weighed, but this box has an extra Loota half sprue, so that was probably how it happened.

I really like the colours of the jets, lovely oranges and reds with paint chips and corrosion - is that done with sponged charodonite grey with painted chainmail chips? It looks really good.
BUT, when are you getting back to Necromunda scenery? Orks are all very well but it's all about the underhive.
Yeah..I was looking at the Munda towers earlier today....soon I guess. I'm just blogging whatever I am working on. I have no rhyme or reason other than whaerever the mood takes me.
I totally understand the 'where ever the mood takes me' approach to modelling, I got sick of gloomy underhive and made a tropical resort after all.
How did you find airbrushing shades? It looks like a good result.

OK, so since my last post (last night) you generated 2 pages of spam - well, 6ed flyer roumors and " a friend of my friend who's friend knows a guy who's missing XXX was replaced by GW with a whole ZZZ box...!"
So, did you decide what your 3rd flyer will be? I read something about yellow, but that was all...
Nope, my progress is faster; at least at the moment anyway.
Too bad none of them seem to have gretchin hanging off of them. Seemed like the Orks would zoom around with a few hanging off the wings and such throwing tools or otherwise mocking enemies.
I'm not attempting to put any ideas in you head for it. >_> <_< >_>

@Max- Techno Chicken..what?
@Klaus- My update speed isn't the issue, it's the random unrelated banter that makes it hard to follow. I don't know why nids are always being talked about here, I have none of them, and really have no interest in them, however I have incubated a free and creative environment here, so when people are being creative they talk about things
I don't see any problem with finecast at all, when they redo the old metals in finecast, the price is lower than the old metals. People just need to accept change IMHO.

Not always true. IG Creed and Kell, when converted, went into separate blisters, and you pay $10 more for the two of them now.
I NEVER pay retail price, so my Finecast Creed and Kell were a lot less....The detail is a lot finer on those two in Finecast though, you have to admit.

Is it the title? I was keeping it to make it easier on you readers, but if it is an issue...
I think it is the title unfortunately dude, if it was something along the links of "The Necromunda Project & Frinds" or some such shizz people would swallow the lack of 'munda stuff easier. but tbh, for me, it makes no difference. Because for all =]_= infected threads, none of them stay on their title topic. if its that much of a problem people should move on...
(sorry if that sounded too harsh, but someone had to say it)
Yeah, I agree with Biran. more than one P&M thread starts to get mental... then you end up answering a question on one thread which was asked on the other, although that just sounds like the usual =]_= shizz
I do individual threads because it's how I keep things separated. At the same time, I only have three focuses (Death Guard, Chaos Cult, Terrain) and I have one more (Old miniatures) that I post on when I find something old I haven't seen in a long time.
People like me are always going to look for more Necromunda awesomeness from you. When you pull out the plasticard and rods again I'll be right there cheering you on. But bottom line is it is YOUR time, YOUR interest, and YOUR thread.
People tell me to get back to work on my Cult or my DG, and I respect the interest for sure, it's just not what I'm putting effort into right now. So I get it.
atm, I don't have the equipment to make one, and to get someone else to do it would cost too much unfortunately. plus the PP one doesnt support the ability to hold gw large oval bases. which sucks... otherwise I'd have got one lols.
Do you get those flexible refrigerator magnets from businesses like pizza places? That sheet-type magnet works well for plastics..you may need rare earth magnets for heavier metal or FW resin models though..
thats something we dont seem to get over here unfortunately... tis quite odd... but I know the material you mean, so I may be able to track some down. FW stuff from experience doesnt seem to move about on trays, tis too damn heavy lols...
Battlefoam makes a portable tray system, designed to breakdown into a carrying case. It has no pre-made 'slots', which makes magnetizing or building scenery into it much easier.

Yeah the modular buildings were $149 USD too, but I only buy one a year
yup...that was the kit dave! super really isn´t it? really one must ask themselves...in this kit they almost put every ounce of awesomesauce in one package? so unlicke them otherwise... just look at the LotR kits... all major characters scattered around....

also showed my wife the architectual kits... didn´t you say your better half likes theses? they look very cool...

So much of the kit is MiG inspired, but you could make the wings and tail like an F-86 Sabre to some degree. My Dakka jet is set up to resemble a MiG-15/17. Adding the bubble turret makes it look another way, and so will the fixed gun to the rear arc position as it is similar to early WW-II dive bomber positions as the Dauntless/Val/Stuka style.

Anyways..please excuse the rough sketch..I didn't have time to build it to scale or paint it
Or a third solution I just thought of...just place all of the walls on top of floor tiles? Then it becomes a non-issue
Ahahahahaha! Nice one Doc!
I like the tiles, and the columns, and when I first saw the window section, I just assumed you made them the same hieght as the small columns on purpose, so you could put them on the tiles, and they would mesh up.
And yes, the buttress sketch looks like it could work well!
Even on small pieces it's really obvious the thought you are putting into it and how you expect them to go together. I can see numerous applications already.
Not trying to derail, just remebered I wanted to do this- Found a new Dakka guy, Ork player, very talented conversions with a unique (bizarre, even?) visions.
