Heheh, thanks jamunition, glad to hear that I´ve made a believer out of you.

Thanks Iron Wings, I´m beginning to like them more and more. At first I wasn´t planning to do a whole unit of them, it just worked out that way.... I want to make at keast five total, preferably ten.

Tonight I´ve started on painting the shotgun guy and the flamer operator. I´m going with more subdued colors for them, dark green for the suits, and either off-white or gloss black for armor. Not sure yet about the armor bits.

Also, I´ve made a test model for an autogun with underslung grenade launcher. I need to see it with paint on before I decide whether I like it.

Picture update tomorrow, need better light for picture taking.

Edit: Hey, that´s the 300th post in this thread! This is madness!

Xan: "Hey, that´s the 300th post in this thread! This is madness!"

Me: "THIS IS IINNQQUIIISSSIITOOORROOMMUNNDDAA!"

It had to be done.

Hey Xanthos, when will you tell us what happens next? We're tip-toe'ing over here. ^^ I finished painting my heavy btw. I'll try to get some piccies up later.

As promised, I hereby present to you my Heavy. There is still some detail work left, but all in all, I think this is how I want to have him.



The heavy of my Imunda group. He wields an autocannon, fashioned from a Catachan weapon team autocannon. I shortened the barrel and added a handle. The legs are from a WHFB Chaos Marauder, the torso from a basic Catachan pack, though it was too short, so the stomach is gs, along with the belt. The right arm was holding a lasgun which I cut out so that he could grasp the handle. The shotgun is from an "extra weapon" sprue, and the holster is gs. Enjoy!

Cool looking Heavy there Gerbrith!

Really looks great with paint.

Keep up the good work.

That's some serious man-portable dakka. Was the shotgun off of a necromunda sprue?

Awesome looking stuff in this thread. Makes me want to grab my clippers, bits box and paints and start a gang myself.

Nice heavy! Good skin tones on him, and the gun has been weathered nicely. Your painting skills continue to impress, Gerbrith.

Mercurial: I believe the shotgun is indeed off of a Necromunda bits pack.

Excommunicate Traitoris: Go for it! The more the merrier, it´s a great game for fast skirmishes and pick-up games on weekends. But most importantly, it doesn´t make as big demands on the amount of models needed to play.

Also, the second half of the campaign has now been mapped out, expect news on that soonish. (Thanks for pestering me Gerbrith, I needed that.)

So.... Update time.

I haven't been doing so much with my gang lately, because of homework and need for excessive reading for my finishing project. (For my first year in High School)

I was thinking that now that we are set to play in the summer, we shouldn't only have gangs but also "enemies".
So I made this metallic wolf as a prototype, of something that could be used as fighting material. Don't really know where it can come into the picture, but I think that our wonderful GM might have something for it. Otherwise it has been quite fun to paint.

I was thinking that it might be fun to make a gang that was maybe different, so I have chosen to make an interrogator instead of an actual Inquisitor, but I do not know if this might work, because aren't interrogators like the right hand man of an Inquisitor? Oh well, we'll see how it goes.

The other pictures are of two of my members of my new gang.

The bitz for my Inquisiton Interrogator, very WiP.
A Fighter (w/plasma pistol and chainsword)

I love the dark skinned heavy! Love it. So much character and metal on him.

Good work guys!

Interesting start on the new guy Defcon, good choice of head. Those scout frames are just great for bits, the quality of the new plastics just has me longing for the new guard stuff!

The metal hound looks interesting, if you could find a way to break up the metal bits it could get really good!

These are all very nice. I reckon I might have to give it a go myself. Personally with the metallic wolf i'd have been tempted to paint the skeleton metal and leave the fur grey. Could make a cyber-mastif for somebody as well. The breacher guy looks good. I'm much more impressed with the finished article than I thought I would be. Great concept liked the infiltration game to.

What ever happened with that transport you were working on that was based from a Chimera.

Still on the board. I´m currently waiting for FW bits, and have been for three weeks... :S

Until it arrives, I´m keeping busy with other projects, like my truescale blood angels, and the shadowsword.
I´ll put some pics up in the regular P&M forum at some point.

Not to worry though, the transport is still on my table.

Thanks for the good comments people.

Defcon 56, I really like the models you picked, particularly the fighter. Look very hardcore. Regarding the possibility of having a team lead by an interrogator, he may be so far on in his training that he is working alongside the inquisitor with his own team and such. Or that he got separated from the inquisitor somehow and hasn't had time to report back to the ordos yet.
Spoiler from Ravenor Rogue below! (it has to do with this discussion)

In any case, I think that having an interrogator leader should work. Also, the paint job on the shield looks absolutely marvelous.

Xanthos, you can always rely on your little sister to come pester you when needed. ^^

Ok, so I'm working on my retinue and on some fluffiness.

I wanted to see if anyone knows what a Scalie, (from the Outlanders) might look like.
I have a couple of ideas about how they look like, and I have drawn some sketches, but I can't really find anything good on the internet. Does anyone know anything about them???

"I wanted to see if anyone knows what a Scalie, (from the Outlanders) might look like. "

There's a picture of one on the GW site (Linky)
Large scaly fellow, second from the right at the top =D

But my sense of them is really that they're just large mutant brutes.

Thanks for that, I hadn't seen that before.

I have bought a set of Saurus Warriors, from Lizardmen, and I will probably make something from those.

They are probably going to look like some bulked up Lizardmen that have armor and stuff.

c&c is always welcome.

Keep it coming!

Edit: Uuhhh, this is my 40th post.

I had some spare time this weekend, so I had time to work on my Juve. I still intend to add a bunch of details. Among other things I want to have some sort of logo on the back of her coat and she has sunglasses in her front pocket which I still need to paint. She is standing on a crate full of grenades in a pile of gritty ashes or something. This is my first attempt at NMM, so please note the metal on the crate and her gun. Also my first attempt at NMM rust. Without further ado: Alyx.



And so you can see the size of the model:



Any C&C appreciated. ^^
Also, any ideas for the logo on the back of her coat? She's a part of the crew of a rogue trader, and I think she's a latent psy, though I haven't explored the rules-effects of that yet.

Wow, she's really cool! What range is that model from? And the crate of grenades?

Perhaps you could take some pics from the side, so we can see the NMM pistol a little better?

Thats one of Kev White, Hasselfree adventures (Zombie hunter) figs, hes got a ton of them.

Thanks for the good comments. =)

Indeed the model is from Hasslefree miniatures. As for the grenade crate, I have absolutely no clue. It came from the bit box of one of my friends where it had been resting for years, biding its time.
I'll get some more pictures up after I get more details done, and I'll make sure that the pistol is more visible then.

Thanks a lot! This little girls will hopefully be on her way to me soon. The crate appears to be ForgeWorld (down at the bottom).

I'm looking forward to updates.

Good to see you guys ticking along with this stuff. The spirit of =I=munda is fantastic, I love seeing all the adventurous conversions people are trying.

Cheers,

Dante

Great log! Im getting so much inspiration from here Love the Juve.. Can we get a side viewe? Her pose just makes sutch great efect.. where is it from?

Keep it up!

sweet!!! love how the bat says "kiss it" lawl

Great gang dude! I especially like the mechanic - the pose looks like she has just finished working on a tank or something.

Edit: I moved the pictures and most of the descriptive text to another thread, since I'd like her to get more exposure, seeing as the pages changed right after I posted this. =P
IN short, the idea is: I have searched all over for a good female model for my leader, but I couldn't find any that suited her perfectly. So I figured I'd try my hand at building one. She's made entirely out of gs, apart from her weapons and head.
The link below is to the thread with more pictures
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/234586.page#634971
Below is the most recent picture of the model.


Now, this is my first attempt at building anything, so c&c is welcome. I know her arms are a bit long and her hands a bit big, but I don't think I can sculpt my own hands yet. Reply here or in the other thread as you feel like, I check both regularly. ^^

/Jaw Drops/

Umm...... Wow! I´m totally impressed that you just went and sculpted a model from GS. Looks very good so far, Just needs more detail work, and if you can get it, armor and other hard dged details amde from brown or grey stuff.

You just made my day.

------ Campaign Fluff and stuff ------

Right, I think it´s time to get back into campaign mode.

Firstly, a challenge to those players involved. Your gang will need transportation this summer, in form of both a interplanetary vessel (BFG scale) and a dropship or other planetary transport (Aeronautica scale).

To clarify a bit, these do not need to be hugely detailed (though it never hurts if they are), but they need to be thecorrect size, and if possible, say a little about your gang.

For example, when looking at planetside transport, a marine Thunderhawk is about 10cm long, and is probably on the bigger end of what should be constructed. and at the other end, a ship below 4cm length would be the minimum.

So a player with strong Marine or Inquisition ties might use a thunderhawk, someone with Tau contacts could go with a Tau transporter, and otheres could use Valkyries or such like, or for maximum "hobby´ness" design your own!

Same goes for spaceships, the size of the ship is not hugely important, but how you choose to go about the task of building/getting it, is. Fluff is your friend here.
