Sweet updates, hopefully the red container helps with the their speed! . The Juve navigator is really cool, the map being a great touch. A compete terrain photo shoot would be super cool…

Those Eschers are fantastic nicely done

Thanks, I prefer a more low tech look for my gangs...

Haha thanks, I've got another red container with a thermic plasma whatsit in it for extra power...

Escher? I've almost forgotten about them, gonna need a vehicle for them, but I don't like the jet bikes GW brought out, too high tech

Anyways all I've had time for is Pathfinders this week, I'm on holiday now and the internet is terrible...


Not sure I like the idea of the Ion rifles giving the Shas'la cancer, definitely a 40k thing, just fits better for the Imperium rather than the Tau
Also painted this thing up, not sure what it is (other than a stationary missile drone) as I don't have it's codex:

Lastly, seeing as you're not supposed to take Pathfinders without a Devilfish:

Although apparently in modern 40k they're no longer a requirement...
Gotta figure out how I'm putting colours down, need more steel legion drab on it.
Engines are way behind due to needing lots of gap filling ...
+++
Decided not to bring any painting stuff with me on holiday but partner decided to bring along this:

Idea is to ease the friends we're staying with into roleplay so that my partner gets a chance to start using some of their impressive collection of D&D stuff...

That's it for now, see you next time!

Oww hadn't checked checked your stuff for some time. I love the necromunda truck. Good details (like the map).

The turquoise horde grows...

Cheers,

CB

Good work keeping the monthly progress going, the Pathfinders look great. Good luck filling the gaps on the devil fish, it looks a cool model.

Tried working on some AW Nomads last night...
...
...Ended up doing something completely different:

WIP names: the Thief, the Worker, the Freeman, the Drunk, the Fool, the Crier, the Veteran and the Cultist

Some excellent updates, Guardling. Love the civilians.

Top left corner (the drunk) looks an awful lot like Rik Sanchez!

Great bits of kitbashing though nice one

Thank you, the gaps are mostly done but I keep finding new ones and damage

Haha I didn't notice that, shame I didn't give her a white coat

Been trying to get my Inq28 on, it's a genre(?) Along with Blanchitsu I absolutely love looking at but struggle to actually replicate.
So finally finished my attempt at an inquisitor:


I'm provisionly calling her Miss Fister, but deffo need something more, uh, appropriate...
Main body is a SOB cannoness (?) with a Palanite Enforcer (or Subjugator) shoulder armour and an Orlock powerfist...
Some WIP:

Apart from an initial drybrush of Dawnstone over black, she's all contrast paints to try and get that grimdark look...

+++

Obviously an Inquistor need some followers:

Left is a Repentia(?) That's had some surprisingly well fitting arms from an Escher Deathmaiden and face from a regular Escher ganger...
For some reason I base coated them like I normally would instead of trying the contrast method, probably because I don't have that many contrast paints and payday is a long way away...

+++

Did a bit of green stuff on a nomad biker:

And started assembling some regular nomads, no picks yet...

+++

Lastly, I put some base layers on my civilians:

The Cultist (bottom left) got bit of a change, I decided the Admech rifle wasn't good as an indicator for her devotion to the cult of the machine, she now has a ZM doors computer for a backpack and is holding one of the smaller arms from a Kataphron servitor ...

+++

That's all folks!

Lots of cool progress Guardling. The grimdark experiment looks to have worked pretty well. I wonder if a slightly lighter grey on a few areas like her face would have given them a bit more focus?

The nomads are looking like a fantastically ragtag bunch. Plenty of variety to keep the interest going. I hope the white and orange dude keeps a similar scheme, he looks cool

The Cultist:


Jarree is not very bright, but she loves the Machine and has worshipped the Mechanicus since she was young.
She wishes to be a Techpriest herself.
The Dominus tells her this can be done after a year of service in the Skitarii, but once she is there, she may have a change of mind...

The Fool:


Pula was once a well liked and respected man who successfully conviced his work crew to demand better pay from the guilds.
It is said that, during celebrations with his friends, a band of hired thugs snuck into the outpost and beat him into a coma.
His friends cannot look him in the eye.

Zombie sprue severed head?

Man that was a good set.

Thanks, I did highlight a few key areas like the face with white.

Kid_Kyoto wrote:Zombie sprue severed head?

I think it's from the skeletons command sprue, it was originally attached to a ladder of bones.
It's been in my bits box for at least 20 years from when I had a small skele/vamp WHFB army
+++
Anyways been up to lot of assembling lately...
First up some additional Underhive Civilians:

These are the Guide, the Witch and the Guilder.
Painted up two of them late last night but still working on their stories...

+++

Had a Kataphron torso kinda going spare, so sorted out a spare set of Ambot legs for him:

It's got a magnet in it so I can swap the torso out for the Dunerider one

+++

Finally got round to assembling my Ash Wastes Nomads:

These two are set up as a heavy weapons team, with a bit of converting for the spotter/loader to have a slung weapon

One sniper got their rifle from the bug rider, the other got one of the rifles from the Underhive market kit. Design language says air rifle/dart gun to me

Boss gets a bolt pistol from a OG plastic Orlock and thier partner get dual pistols thanks to the bug riders...


The rest are pretty much stock, except one has had the missiles cut off their backpack and replaced with a canister...

+++

Then I realised I had all these Underhive Outcast arms with no bodies and loads of old Empire Militia bits so...



Like the look of them so far, tried a few heads out on them looks like Orlock heads are the way to go as everything else is either too big or too small...
Probably going to add some pouches and green stuff straps or bindings later.

+++

Lastly made some more terrain:


Not sure what this is yet, I had a broken bit of SechMech floor so elevated it to the height of a ZM floor and added some pipe and Miliput.


This is just some curved sprues that I thought could look good as a sort of metal "skeleton in the desert" thing...

+++

That's all for now

Awesome conversions!

I really like the ash waste nomads. They have so much potential for conversions.

Lots of projects on the go there Guardling.

Your first two civilians that are painted up are looking good.

Cheers,

CB

+++The Witch+++


His mother called him Nugget, first as a term of endearment, now with disgust.
Just like his uncaring mother he hears whispers, but unlike her, he does not hear secrets...
Instead they chant with glee each time he hears the squeal of pain from a small animal.
Perhaps he should start on something bigger, after all, he no longer needs to use his hands.

Excellent stuff as per Guardling, great bit of kitbashing. Really characterful minis, works so well for Necromunda.

I love the witch.

Makes me miss the Empire Milita sprue even more

Fantastic stuff Guardling! The cultist and fool turned out spot on. I love the broken screen on the cultists back, seems like she’s been given the bad job of carting back broken items, or did she get upgraded with whatever the Dominus had laying about? The gingerbread man puppet on the fools hand is amazing though! Where on earth did you find that?

+++The Guide+++


Torm, is an expensive Dome Runner, he charges double everyone else, half now, half on arrival.
Shortly before the final stop, he disappears leaving his fee uncollected...
The gangs say he is a wise man.
This is because he knows the final payment is always a bullet.

They do, it helps that the torso on the bug rider is separate too as it helps with turning them into bikers!

Haha yeah too many projects at the moment, now I don't know where to start

It was a good sprue I made my OG Delaque gangers out of it because I couldn't afford/find real Necromunda gangers at the time

I like to think the Cultist is super dumb and thinks that if she just slaps some tech in her ports she's AdMech and the Dominus wants nothing to do with her, hence trying to pass her off to the Skitarii..
The puppet is from the Frostgrave Female Wizards set, I saw they had a nice selection of bare hands, they're a little small but look okay when paired together. You'll probably see quite a few of those bits in my paint queue...

+++

Anyways not much done this week, painted The Drunk, then realised her story was a bit anemic, so I then realised that she needs a bar for the background of her shot:

Fantastic fluff.

Kinda lost my mojo last couple of weeks, so to cheer myself up I bought a CAT...



It came with some free models too:

These are gonna have to make up for failing my last unit of the month...

+++

Got some more civvies that just need basing on the way, so see you soon!

You can't go wrong with CAT content!

The Necromunda civilians look great, so many cool ideas and execution. Love the fluff bits!

Nice updates Guardling, the red tones on your CATs is really excellent. Gives them a faintly organic quality which is cool.

I love those little CAT models, I keep thinking I should get some for my Ad Mech. I have some plans for another techpriest and I like the idea of a swarm of little robots.

+++The Drunk+++


Amsac or coolant, Bray doesn't care, she'll have it even if she has to spend coin she doesn't own.
She was someone once, a loving wife to a charming man, but now he is a shell and so she might as well be.

+++The Crier+++


"Mama Mouth" Chiral is always there with the days news and pious recital against the mutant.
She knows everything that is happening in the dome.
But when she closes her mouth, people forget she is there.
And when her neighbours are discussing their secrets behind closed doors...
She listens.

these civvies are outstanding! a true representation of just how wacko the imperium's "regular" guys are...

some theft-worthy ideas here methinks
