Triad retainers eh?.....

i think i might grab some.

**BLACKHAND**

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

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

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

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

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

**Waaagh_Gonads**

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

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

**Scrazza**

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

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

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

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

**Scrazza**

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

hope the picture is clearer to you guys.

**ghosty**

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

**BLACKHAND**

Thats the stuff , clear as a bell!

LOL, now go back and take all your pics again

JK

**Scrazza**

@Ghosty: thanks!
@Blackhand: thank!

c&c welcome

**BLACKHAND**

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

**The Dreadnote**

Nice work, I like 'em.

**Waaagh_Gonads**

The green hair works really well on that last model.

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

**Scrazza**

@blackgand: i'm using both

@The dreadnote: thanks

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

**Scrazza**

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

**fejus**

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

**Scrazza**

thanks for the advice. :-)

**Scrazza**

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

**Scrazza**

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

**Scrazza**

.

**The Dreadnote**

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

**Scrazza**

The Dreadnote wrote:Whine less.

haha, I agree

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

**Vitruvian XVII**

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

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

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

**Scrazza**

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

**Scrazza**

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

**Vitruvian XVII**

Vitruvnian, who is this!!

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

**Scrazza**

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

**Red9**

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

Keep up the good work and clear photography!

**Scrazza**

thanks for the comments. thumbs up

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

**Scrazza**

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

**Vitruvian XVII**

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

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