Well, I'm not sure, but I think the ammo belt of your last gun servitor is the wrong way round in there.
The bullets look backwards from the muzzle, don't they?

However, keep at it!

I might have to start making my own 'munda gang now (been thinking of trying to get started for a while now ) - you've inspired me damn you!

Sorry, misunderstood you! and Bwahahaha , i feel honoured! Seriously though, you should do it, Specialist Games offer so much more than the core games.

Oh yeah, it certainly does look like that from the angle But, Gw's sculptors declined to put an end on the bullets, so it's the same on the other side!

Thanks for the kind words, guys!

Looking good; I like the med-ganger, especially since you can roll the 'medic' skill on the techno skill table IIRC. Oh, and my IG bullets do have fronts, check out the ammo box to make sure

This thread is definitely made of win! A brilliant idea very well executed, with some excellent conversions, I just cant wait until you hit these guys with the paint. Keep them coming!

One is hard pressed to find words to express my feelings towards the work you've completed so far, the best I can manage is "Pimpnickle"

I am really looking forward to more updates. Forgeworld make some delicious schtuff, eh?

Always take techno skills for van saar, the possibility of 2+ ammo roll for a plasma gun is there.

I don't think this is so true anymore, the updated skills tree moved the armourer skills into a heavy only skillset. Also, Techno is important, but don't overdo it, all you really need is a fixer and medic (and maybe a chemist) then go shooting skill for shizzle, hipshooters in close proxim are kickass, and additionally 6 out of my 12 man squad have "rapid fire" so when those lads dig in they can offer firing solutions of a 12 man squad, it' pretty devastating to go against.

That is a really good looking gang!

Hey thanks for all the great comments guys, you're really motivating me!!

I've just gone back to college so i haven't had much time to do modelling, but i've made some (non-update worthy) progress. Also started painting the servitor juve and made the base.

Heres the base, just to whet your appetites (hope this shows a good sign of things to come Frodo!):






@CommissarKhaine: i suppose you're right, i'll have to square off the ends of them with greenstuff. I thought the med-ganger was particularly apt as well, although it was a happy coincidence!

@Frodo: Thanks mate!

@Archibald Jack: "Pimpnickle" and (as much as it pains me to be wiring this! ) lmao! Forgeworld do indeedy have a damn fine thang going on!

@ubbeknubbe: Why thankyou sir!


Hopefully i'll get more paint on the servitor tonight, enough to update you with anyway!

Thanks for looking.

Hey, just a quick update for ya!

Pip on the servitor juve, nearly done with this one:

Looking good

Very crisp, and I love the deep red. keep it up!

Wicked. The detail in the bases really sets that fig' off...perhaps it's time I forked out for some mahself. Did you make those? or source them?

Thankyou, very much! I was going for a deep red, i thought if it was too bright it wouldn't be GRIMDARK enough!

Thanks Archibald Jack. I really like that particular base as well. I actually made it myself. Covered half the base in .5mm plasticard and then put a strip of .5mm on top of that so there is a 1mm ledge. I painted the step w/ iyanden stripes, then 50:50 iyanden:bleached bone highlights. The 2 flat metal bits were painted boltgun, the lower one was then washed 3 or 4 times w/ devlan and the upper one once w/ badab. Then I did small stripes of mithril silver in one direction and then mithril/boltgun mix in the other direction. then washed it lightly w/ devlan to tie it all together. Then i cut a small piece of wire from the inside of an iPod headphone and stuck it on! (a lot of steps but i think its worth it! ) However, there are some good base sites out there with equal, if not better bases. Your choice really!

Thankyou for looking, finished servitor will be up a bit later and maybe pip on the 1st model i made.

Okay, here's the first finished model of Explorator Maniple 111010!! Yay!

Thats great looks both Ad-Mech but also appropriate for the Underhive the bases are nifty to. My Ad-mech and stuff are on Dakka its a blog called the Conclave of Hrin although I'm mainly using Witch Hunter rules for them!

Thanks Llama, i'll take a look at your AdMech now! I was kinda' hoping this small gang might make me get my ass into gear and start an AdMech army, so then i could use some of the models. But, we'll see!

Wow. That guy looks great.

Love the servitor! Personally I'd consider adding some deeper shadows in the face and maybe a bit of pruple wash around the eyes to bring some more life into him; the face is the only part that looks a tad less striking to me.

Looks great. I look forward to seeing the rest of the gang painted up.

Zing. That fig looks wicked, and I will be taking the comprehensive instructions on board to make my own quasi industrial bases - t'ankin you kindly guv'

Thanks for all the kind comments, I can't beleive i've left this thread for such a long time. But hey, whatcha gonna do!

Just finished college, but still got a few exams so progress is still relatively slow. However, during the month or so gap i've finished 3 models and started some terrain! Talk about hard graft!

Also, we're starting our campaign properly on Friday so is hould be able to get a running campaign log going. We rolled territories and i got Old Ruins (suck-ass), settlement, friendly doc, drinking hole and tunnels (score!). I'm happy with that, i think its a good spread of creds and cool rules, and considering how it could've gone...

Tunnels is great, would've been awesome if 1 player didn't get 2 vents, and another vents and tunnels (the other 2 players are going to feel horribly out manouvered!)

First up is the med-servitor, just a juve for now:





Cant really make out much in that one but hey!

Tech-Adept Qus (u should have an umlaut):







Tech-Adept Vespasian (serious props if you can guess the reference there):








And some scenery i've been working on, needs more work but starting to shape up. Also got some canals in progress, should get them finished tomorrow and then i'll put them up.






Thankyou all for looking and hopefully i'll be able to update this more regularly!!

Cheers,

Ah, the good old tin can Necromunda terrain . I still have a few of those lying around from ages ago, when Necromunda was just out.

I think you rolled OK for your territories, a settlement and a friendly doc rule. I don't know how much the rules have changed, but in the orginal Necromunda you could by an isotropic fuel rod, allowing you to upgrade one piece of terrain to a settlement. if it still exists, it would allow you two settlements or: a 1in3 chance of gaining a juve. Combine that with a friendly doc who gives money for body parts (or cogs ands gears in this case ), and you don't have to feel sorry if a juve takes one for the team .

The paintjobs look like a good start (hard to tell with the lighting). Vespasian's name might come from a Vespa, those little scooters they use in Rome?

It's not a reference to Titus Flavius Vespasianus, known in English as Vespasian, is it? Cause Wikipedia says he was a roman emperor ;P

My first guess was Vespero, from Vespero's Vendetta of WHFB fame.

I like the gang so far. Better pics would be appreciated

I'll have to read up on the Necro rules before I can comment on the terrain rolls. Alls I know is there is a fun sounding game with the Spyrer gang that happens in old ruins. *shrug*

Looking good

Awesome job so far, I'm liking the tin can city terrain.

nice paintjobs, big up.

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Vespasian is actually a charcter (legate) from a series of books about Romans by Simon Scarrow. Well worth a read! Pretty close Good Green, though is suspect wikipedia might have had a hand in that!

I know sorry about the pics, it was late and the daylight bulb didnt work too well. I'll try and get more pics today.

Cheers,

Vitruvian

more pics

Right, got some better pics today, here they are:

Med-servitor, Juve with knife and autopistol-





Tech-Adept Vespasian, Ganger with lasgun [i know thats not what he's got but its too cool a model to leave out ] (damn, just realised i didn't do the Mechanicus symbol, i'll get on that now!)-





Tech-Adept Qüs, ganger with knife and bolt pistol-






I tried to go with a really grim-dark feel with these, while at the same time keeping the metals well serviced. I also did some weathering.

You might also be able to make out WIP on the canals i'm making. More pics of those once they're done.

Thanks for looking,

Vitruvian

good work, I especialy like Tech Adept Qus. Can't wait to see your canals. Big Up.

Thankyou very much!!

Looking good! Only the med-servitor's apron could do with some more depth, but I love your red; nice grimdark admech red

Give the DKK stuff to me! I'm always after some!
Really nice idea, will follow your progress and look forward to future pictures!
