Really nice work Jussi! Thanks for sharing!

If anything to improve - I think the weathering is too evenly added, the edges and the front edges in particular should take the most flack and have more. I would also like to see more blackened areas, those are really sweet.

Ha, I was just asking when I'd get to see this in Migs's legion thread and here it is!

Looks great mate, love the muted grey's and off white. The weathering around the engine intakes looks great too. No perspex canopy?

I think the metals look fine as is to be honest. Did you do anything with the interior?

Cheers,

Dante

I'm looking at the new Ork Nobs, and the two handed buzzsaw axe lad is so going to be mutated into service. I have just the plan for him, with a tweaked Ghoul head, chipped as hell armour plates and hazard stripe axe, all low saturated of course.

And I also have a plan now for the new BW, which is going to be turned into an 8 wheeled rogue =I= ride.

Gotta love the new ork plastics. I'd dump some on the Legion too, but then, big and imposing is Alpharius's domain in that lot.

Here's the intro to our finale, still fixing dates.


The Endgame

The day Ardia fell, the sky bled. All of Ragoos was ravaged by freak storms and that macabre crimson down pour. If possible the revolt, turned war, turned hell, spinned further out of control. Sector Fleet cut all legit access in or out from the doomed planet and the Black Ships arrived.

Our desperadoes, so deep in the eye of the storm that there was a dead calm, prepared for glory. They were so far out of their league. Even the fate looked upon them with sad, pitiful gaze. Walking with Giants and Daemons our group of individuals prepared, like some unfeeling miniatures on sector spanning stakes they played on.

Gauer, or rather Lord Frostschein and his destroyed army of savants had unlocked the Grimoire of Placement at a terrific price. On transit to secure it, they had sent several communiques, such security protocols that it burned seven separate cogitators trying to unravel them without authority. There was huge power now behind the young Inquisitor.

Styg, Viktor Styg, the unflinching scalpel of the Criminaliatet, would be close in on their heels, with his remaining spies working through hell with the promise of a flight out. No-one could escape their shadowing. The Syndicate needed new allies, new equiment, something to end a hawk’s eye view over the others. Something more. Something ambitious. Who might be the untapped powers to be?

Harker - oh he knew so much - he knew, because she knew and it was nearly too much. His new allies seemingly at ease with the sickening, deep evil of her... who could tolerate the daemon, where Harker’s own men were at the edge, at ends? The Daemon was so very dangerous, so hard to judge her intent, but she had devoured the information from the prisoners and she knew the songs of her realm. She burnt with the agony of control, the pentagrammic wards burning her skin like a frozen needle would cry one’s spinal chord. Would her diabolical power be enough suppressed so?

Rogue Trader Krikham had perished, too weak for the hell that was Berdia? None knew, but he had disappeared, dead or to his travels.

These three factions and many others prepared, they prayed, they pleaded or commanded what was theirs to try and they were on the move. Liber Rubas, the Great Librarium of Guntash the V, or so it had been eight thousand years ago, now just a catacomb of death, ripped open from the depths, like a maimed rib cage of some colossal continent fish. Had someone had the time to look into it, it would’ve seemed like it was the fault of the violent collapse of the Eastern Spire - infact, the Spire collapsed, because something in the heart of that catacomb so decided. Not a drop of crimson landed on these chilly, frost caked structures. This was the fatal wound of planet stabbed to death.

What do you do?
Who do you turn to?
Who else might be there?
What special plans can save you?
What stands for victory in your hear, or the ever present glare of your masters?

May the Emperor Protect you!

Thanks people.

Xan, Grey and Migs: You guys are right, working on those additional weatherings.

Malika2: No stress Changing the whole pilot would require major work as he's sculpted on to the seat. And I like the fig, thou he's somewhat emotionless face needed something, so I added the gas mask.

CMDante: I am adding the perspex later as I have temporarly misplaced it. And didn't do any interiors for two reasons. First the back hatch is almost impossible to open after assembly (atleast in my copy). Second the seam goes straigth in the middle of the ship and requires filling, and to do that for the interior after assembly is again pretty much impossible (unless you have thin and long fingers ).

Cheers!

I've just come back to Dakka (from Warseer) after many months away to find a swath of fantastic modelling threads. I'll have to keep my eye on this forum more closely!

Way back on page 5 or 6 Migs asked which issue of WD had the Alpha Legion article. Assuming you mean the Index Astartes series then according to this site it was issue 277.

Nothing exciting yet - just proof that I am working on a new Shaddes offe Greye mutant (and the "door" thing for Legion - more of which in the Legion blog) The mutie will be about having fun with rust and wear and tear effects, which I intend to really play with come painting. First he needs a few details to really show the scale and bulk. The team is really starting to have a nice variety of different body types.

Those are some pretty amazing conversions!

All of your stuff is amazing. You make me really want to convert my own gang to go kill whatever random creatures they can find.
So I guess amazing blog, amazing conversions, and models. I cant wait to see what you come up with next.

Hmmm, I'm intrigued by that little tan terrain piece, what is it?

Little bit of thread Necromancy - sorry for that - but we've agreed to play the "grande finale" after the easter tournament So one more go at Jade Vessel and then we forge plans for future =I=munda stuff that I hope to become a pacer for Legion at larger scale too.

More Jade Vessel?! Does that mean we may get to see your Wyrd Pyromaniac completed? mmmmm....Wyrd Pyro

..you.. it's.. they're... (swoon....THUD)

Excellent.... the thread that kicked my lazy converting butt in the kiber..returns!

~ Tael.

Wow, I went through the thread and can really see how much the posting culture has evolved and grown more active in a year! We remember being so disappointed with the amount of replies we were getting in the beginning and it has really changed towards the end, let alone new blogs. I think this Blog also started something that gave a dakka a hole host of inspiration.


Tael, cheers

YetiSchool, yes, I need to paint his experimental ass in an experimental, dangerous and hot scheme.

It so did, ýou´ve started something great with the =I=Munda concept, it seems to be growing a lot these days. Wow, a whole year now, huh...

Good job Migs.

The pyromancer was always my favourite so it'll be nice to finally see him painted.

SoG

Just went through your thread, saw everything, and gotta say, you stuff is awesome!
Really hope you'll be continuing this, because it's great!

Cheers,

Your new fan. (okay, not really, but you get the picture )

Migsula, I like the look on your inquisitor-warband so much that I going to copy you a bit

This threads revival is something I'm really looking forward to.

Ok lads, lets se the date - I'll email you today

yay, more Jade Vessel!

Amazing conversions and some really inspired work, these =I=Munda blogs are always a joy read.

I also agree with your earlier statement Migsula, posting trends and the diversity and engagement/discussion in blogs has really developed recently and its great to see.

Haven't played Necromunda in years but I do play Dark Heresy and was looking for some model inspiration and came upon this thread and became hooked! Just had to join to express my thanks for some lovely minature eye candy!

I'm very tempted to start playing again you have inspired me that much!

Hope to see more soon!

Great to hear Stoneblood, and welcome to dakkadakka!

Thanks Migs!

I really like your approach to the rules i.e. there aren't really any it's more about narrative and creativity! If I do start I already have some ideas as to how I'm going to go about it ruleswise.

Quick question though, I've recently moved and I don't really know anyone who I could game with locally, is it against house rules to post your location and the fact your looking for a game?

I'm itching with excitement Migs! Will the finale incorporate every player's gang?

And if you have time, would we be able to see some more pictures of Sniper Girl? I love that conversion, it oozes Blanche-ness!

On the contrary. Add it to your signature, make a post on the "Find a game"-forums here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/forums/show/13.page
If you ever go to Sweden, let me know and we will have a game. And welcome to Dakka

Yes, +1 to what Mellon said!

Bottle, yes every player gang plus several NPC factions + surprises + the vessel

I have to agree with some of the above, I really want to see that pyromancer mini painted! It almost made me buy urien rakarth just to recreate it!

Cheers,

Dante

@Mellon:Thanks for the advice have taken it on board (see my sig) and am hoping to get some sort of response!

To keep the thread on target when Migs can we expect some more great Fluff, battle reports and conversions from the Jade Vessel campaign?! Also ruleswise do you think you could share what you're using for the costings of psyker powers i.e how much each one costs after you've paid the 20pts to be a pysker?

Eagerly in Anticipation!

Stone
