that crushed valk has really good looking shards of glass showing! nice blending for that. and an overall nicely done weathering on that piece.

Valk? Isn't that an Aquila Lander? That's the one that came with Macragge right?
Anywayz, nice work on your new gaurdsmen, I just saw the clip of Apocalypse Now on youtube

Valk? Isn't that an Aquila Lander? That's the one that came with Macragge right?

correct! i just confused those two things^^

Thanks Vik!
The Delaque model is holding a lascannon Ahh, women can be so annoying. just 16 me, and girls can be VERY difficult, I can assure.

Yeah it's a crashed Aquila lander from Maccrage set.

By the way, Thanks Hendaron!

@Lord Kaesar II: here's a scale shot I took a minute ago. As you can see, there isn't much difference in scale, bar the smaller, true-scale weapons.

Nice stuff.

So you're getting back to your Delaque, eh? Great! Can't wait to see your take on them. (Next model I do has to be a Delaque too...)

@Darko: Thanks!

@Baiyuan: Yep, going to try to get my old Necro buddies back in. It's been a while since I've done anything necromunda related, but... I just registered with Yakromunda to get me back in the game, maybe a bit more organised this time
I will be checking your blog regularly.

those gas mask gus are rather disturbing. cool though!

I also registered at Yakromunda some months ago, but I haven't used it yet. It looks great, but considering the nonstandard ruleset my campaign uses, it would be to much work I think. Also I already have my self-made excel spreadsheet, that does all the work for me.

@Neil: yeah, I kinda like them too. They aren't that bad sculpts, like I read on a review site.

@Baiyuan: I doubt I will be using Yakromunda that much either! I'll only use it as an info source, me thinks.

Update. Small one, though.

A Delaque Ganger with lasgun, knife, and flak armor. For when I roll Flak armor, and am willing to pay for it. Still WIP, and much work to be done. C&C welcome.

that catachan head of the command sprue i too have to get me one of these days... for a necromunda gang this head is pure win^^

It's in my collection of possible delaque head swaps too, I just didn't find a proper body for it yet, it's quite big.
I would have removed the aquila branding on his forehead btw, looks too much like a zealot for a delaque if you ask me.
Something else, I don't know if you mentioned it before, but is there a special reasoning to why your delaque look like they look? I know you said you wanted them to look more sinister than the basic models, is there more to it?

Ohhh, Necromunda models...nice. I love it when people go outside the GW range for gang members.

How do you plan on basing your gangers? It's something I always have a problem with!

LilLoser

@Vik: They are really cool looking heads, shame I only have one though.

@Baiyuan: When fitted on a GW model, it isn't that big. It's smaller then the usual Catachan heads, like all Command kit heads. I thought the Aquila emblem would be a nice addition, but yeah, he does look like a zealot now you mention it. I'll consider filing it off.

There isn't really more to it. I wanted to make my own version of the Delaques, but still follow the lines how GW made them.

@Lil: I don't know how I will base them. My previous gangers were based with spare greenstuff and some junk bits. But it's a bit late for that, now that the model is already glued to the base. Maybe I'll just paint it grey(ish) or I might try to carefully remove the model from it's base, and wait until I have some leftover GS again.

Nice work on them, I am working on a "dead esqader" (spelled wrong Dark?) gang, based on the ash wastes bounty hunter gang. Without the idiot rule that they can only obtain heavy weapons by buying vehicles with it. Already finished two of them, paint and everything, will post them up sometimes

It seems my reputation precedes me .

Don't have a clue; I've never seen that word before .

Wait...Ha! googled it, I tried to make Eskader "English" (out of dutch) but it ends up being squadron

Darko, You best put 'grammer Nazi' back in your sig.

@Hendaron:Thanks. A Death Squad ey? souds interesting. Looking forward to seeing them! I have never even looked at the ash waste rules. I should download them off Yakromunda some time.

Yeah, the rules are good, adds lot of things and such. About the death squad, I finished the leader and specialist (heavy) with plasma gun. Will take pics and so later, just to lazy to do anything lately. Ghah, hard week...

Looking forward to see them, hendaron.

Aargh Jarl! What do you mean with;" I don't know the camera is. Or it's reloading cable." .... sigh.... little brothers. YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE. Praise yourself lucky Scrazz.

I praise myself lucky, for I have not a camera of my own. I 'borrow' it from my mother.

So...no pics tonight... GRRRR

I managed some more progress on the flak delaque, and the second Ousian.
I did some hazard stripes on the flak shoulder pads, that should give the armor some character, I think.
Let me know what you think of it.

Here's some more pictures for you, Hendaron

I like the hazard stripes, and the camo of the Ousian came uot pretty good, it gives them a distinctive look, as even cadian "camo" doesn't really seems to have purpose as camo.
Anyways, I got the cam, but not the cable to put them on my pc -_- "What do you mean with my bag?" "I mean the one you forgot you freakin squidhead!" sigh....

Kewl.

Not sure about the stripes, they always add some industrial wasteland flavor, but I find them not that suitable for Delaque, I picture them more stealthy. Still looks good though...

@Hendaron:Thanks! Yeah, agree on you with the camo. I just don't like how Cadians look. Color wise, that is.
Brothers are a pain in the arse, even I know this, though I have no brother.

@Darko: thanks!

@Baiyuan: The stripes...meh,now you mention it. But on the other hand, how can a flak armored Delaque be steaty? The armor is far too cumbersone to slip through the hive. I picture this one more of a 'heavy trooper' kinda ganger.

Strangely enough, this song motivates me to paint. strange.

i am too not really sold on the stripes but for other reasons...there are some serious ripples in the lines...i suggest you go heavy on the weathering on those stripes as to cover up some of the uneven spots there are.,..as for fluff... i think the gang takes wahtever they can salvage and when good armor is done with hazardstripes they use them...

Viktor von Domm wrote:as for fluff... i think the gang takes wahtever they can salvage and when good armor is done with hazardstripes they use them...

I was thinking the exact same thing.

As for the hazard stripes, I am going to weather them, or else the shoulder pads will look to shiny apart from the body armor. I know there are ripples, but I had in mind what you suggested. Heavy weathering will take care of this, I suppose.

like spongeweathering? i like the technique you use for your weapons...the give a hell of a real feel to them!
