Vik mentioned on the earlier set of bases that he noticed the gaps in the bases. That bit of gravel/glue was for Vik!

lol... yeah all for me^^

big update there mate... you are a teach and a half! and boy did these pics of the plastic containers sent shivers down my spine... rrrr...excellent! there are so many new models you heva not yet used... now i wonder if it would be possible to make a valhallan gang... that would be a nice thing... so many cool mini...

as for the tooltime tut... the same goes for whoever is behind the times and still used cardboard made rivets^^ same porcedure ^^ tho i have to say my needle and pva methode often lost the rivet in the glue touchdown...the plastic glue is one hell of a better glue for that methode...pva really sucks and i do mean it!

is that now a cawdor mini? whatever happened to the delaques? did they already went into hiding just after the painting? and all these new bases.,.. so you are now in full swing with the gang makings?...hmmm^^

Delaques Were primed last night, they are ready for someone to sit down and paint them now. Lazy bastards won't paint themselves. These are the new sculpts of the Orlocks Vik. I don't have any Cawdor.

see... the referrence to bankers suits pretty well... orlocks and esher... bet they could if they would ...paint themsleves^^

The only Necromunda figs that I own is the Cawdor gang, and I'm finally going to get them painted...but not as Cawdor. They'll be Chaos traitors of some variety. Ifalna will do a much better job than I could...and it will leave me free to continue painting Cadians...and more Cadians...

Love the minis though. The sculpts still hold up pretty well.




Your gangs look great! Are those Orlocks new sculpts or just castings from remastered molds?

one day i will get me a full gang of redemptionists... as stand ins for the priests my army needs...for me they look excellent for that purpose...

Thanks man! They are the new sculpts they did when they re-released Necromunda as Underhive.

Cawdor and Redemptionists are both dead-ringers for Chaos cultists!

Cool!! Then I need to pop over to Specialist Games and see what they've updated.

I could use another squad of Chaos traitors.

EDIT: Hmm...looks like the other gangs have not changed. Pity, I'll have to look elsewhere.

They didn't re-sculpt all of the gangs, just Orlock, Goliath, and Ratskins I think.

now this looks like a buch to work with... when will you start?

All this riveting has consumed my energy, I am now off to slice up a pork loin into rivets err... I mean chops

lol...pork is good for the riveter as for the rivetmaker themsleves too...get yourself an extra portion ^^

The incredible, edible pig!!

My secret dry rub is applied and soaking in while I heat up the grill...Salivating now, as the smell of thick, raw pork melds with salts, herbs, and spices.
I trimmed all but about 1mm of fat from around the chops, just enough to dissolve into pure flavor.

That was wonderful! Cooked tender and juicy served over a huge bed of basmati rice, all it needed was a little soy sauce. Ahh

Wrong. Redemptionists, Ratskins, Goliath, Scavvies, Orlock, Van Saar (though it was just a booster and was only available for less than a year). Not counting the individual models that were released in the glorious time when we had Fanatic.

I took the evening to paint the 1/72 Mortar crew for a review- not related to Necromunda At All.


Yes, the chest sculpts are REALLY that bad!

I work in the pork food industry and have to say when you see it on a large scale all the time you can loose a lot of love for foods ………...

I have to say those 1/72 minis do look rather mutated I thought they were from some weird war game

HAHA i know right? It looks like the guy on the right has some sort of mutation, a genestealer!

You really don't sleep do you Dave

I was thinking we should get a thread together of all the suppliers that is useful to our hobby (although I am sure there is one here some where) if there is can some one point me in the right direction ……….

Dave check your PM Box

Yes I sleep! 6 hours a night, more on weekends, why? I'm also 5 hrs behind you in the UK.

I don't think my readers care as much about my gangs- I am getting read numbers, but FAR LESS comments than I do when I am building terrain.

The suppliers are different per region though, I can get bulk Plasticard and daylight bulbs easily here in the US, but you can't in the UK it seems, but all the best miniatures seem to be UK only, or expensive to ship overseas.

I guess that's true. I really should have said something about your ratskins now that they're finished, but part of the problem is that I'm not really into Necromunda, so I only sort of know what's going on. All three gangs are totally stock, which is cool from a collectors POV, but doesn't generate the comments like customizing does. Your bases are fantastic compared to most, but you've set the bar high for yourself with all of your terrain.

Don't let the lack of comments get to you. You're doing great work! I'll do better at telling you what I think, even if it's just "Looks good to me"

Rawson

Well, you have to have the basic stock miniatures in your gang to play Necromunda, before you can add the more customized miniatures (extra Juve meatshields, plasma guns, etc.) in a campaign or series of games. In 40k, your common lasman will always be a common lasman, in Necromunda they gain experience, gear, and stats as you play.

The gangs just need to get done, and miniature painting to me, is more of a necessity, I am not striving to win any Golden Demons or anything. However, I AM interested in making the best Terrain out there

Giving a necro gang from stock a nice paintjob isn't worth as much words as creating/scratch building ingenious things from plastic card. I think this is quite obvious.
Which doesn't mean, I didn't enjoy your ratskins, as you can see from my comments.

Dakka has quite a few threads and articles on tools, supplies, etc. Any of us can add to the articles...hint, hint...or start a new one.

Never give up, never surrender!

I understand Baiyuan, maybe I am expecting too much too.

Nicde stuff man!Love the gangs man!I've done my own toutorail too now on my blog!

Dave, your terrain brought me here, but the overall experience is keeping me hanging around. Do what you do and, like Metallica, we may not always like it but a true fan will always buy it.

Thanks Max! much appreciated!

ok... i refuse to take part in this fishing for compliments...^^ no seriously... maybe it is still that time of the year thingy?
i remeber gitsplita asking the same question not too long ago... and you probably saw his many threads...so i think that can happen from time to time...

but for me the current scratchbuilding of guns...the bases and your new found interest in painting is truly a fresh breeze here...

tho i wouldn´t mind the odd new building^^

don´t dampen your spirits by yourself mate! it is way to far away for me to kick your depressed arse^^...so have pitty with me and clench your teeth and get on with that work!


vik, just saying^^

Thanks Coach!
I'm good, really, Thanks Vik!

Maybe I just need a project to get excited about atm, It's not that I dread mini painting, I enjoy it, but maybe it's not really as fun as plastic work?

there is nothing to be dreaded... same goes to us viewers here^^ but well...your true calling is and will be plastic wonders done by scratch... dont get me wrong... that big gun of yours was fun to watch in the making...but if you had done that all by yourself... that rage of aplause would have lasted way longer... (am i making myself clear here, or just possibly a clown now?)
