Thanks for the bitz rundown. I disagree with the armour types problem. As it's Tau Environment Suit, I would think the Tau tech was a must, but the extra armour would be thicker, less mobile. I think the fix, if needed, could be in the paint job, or a small amount of detail added to the SM parts, like wear and tear.

I dig the enviro suit. I also noticed on the Tau's regular armor that they have their wee little hooves poking out the bottom as well, so what's the deal with that? are their hooves uber strong, totally kick ass and other wise resilient to the ravages of hot planet surfaces?

Secondly, the amalgamation of SM and tau armor is totally expected, especially when you consider he belongs to a salvage ship crew who'd use any combination of parts provided they worked. Also, any plans to make another Engineer character? A CC character with goggles on head and a massive wrench over his shoulder would be wicked for a CC fig. Thats a bit specific, yeah?

First off, LOVE Canderous. Loved the model when I saw it in a White Dwarf, love the conversion even more. I really like the Catachan/SM conversion too. Looks badass. Another blog that makes me wanna start playing Necromunda.

I like how you've mixed and matched armor in alot of the picks, if it's SM/Tau or SM/Catachan. Looks real well and I bet with the paintjob it'll be beautifully seamless. Looking forward to the results.

This blog, and archibalds has inspired me to play necromunda ^^

Thanks alot for the nice comments... very happy to hear your thoughts

I didn't do much modeling lately... PS3 addiction... I finished Heavy Rain 2 weeks ago and now Final Fantasy 13 keeps me busy...

BUT:

I ordered some Privateer Press minis for my Gang... and I actually plan on making another engineer out of one of them (thx Jack)
The base model will be Valeria Alvaro... love the mini with it's cowgirl look...

What I'm gonna do to her is clipping of most of the pistols and replacing them with GW pouches, grenades and holsters... I will also exchange the gun in her hand with a wrench...
and I have to do something about the boot... maybe some cadian boots and some GS

the other minis I ordered are the following... I probably gonna use the elves as eldar... but not sure




This guy is really tiny (he is smaller than a cadian soldier) so it will be difficult to swap the arms... maybe i try woodelf or eldar arms


This girl looks really good as it is... so I will probably only swap the weapons and maybe remove the pointy ears

Any hints or ideas on these guys/girls are welcome

JUst checking in to see if there are any updatey-doos. Or are you still being ravaged by PS3-itis?

Superb!

Thx for checking in... I am still into PS3 gaming... but I'm also working on some models aso often as I can... My Valeria Alvaro conversion is finally taking shape... I think I can add the finishing touches soon as I'm finally in the last chapter of FINAL FANTASY XII (awesome game btw)

Here's a little pic for everyone who's eagerly following my thread... Hope you like her
Thanks for all your comments and ideas

Hi guys... finally some updates for all who have subscribed to my little blog.

I managed to finish Cid and paint both him and my heavy stubber guy.
And for all of you who like my little nerd references here is another one. Anybody wan't to guess where it's from?!

Meet Jayne Kobb and his heavy stubber "VERA"
"I'll kill a man in a fair fight. Or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight. Or if he bothers me. Or if there's a woman. Or if I'm gettin' paid. Mostly when I'm gettin' paid."

Nice so far! Also am i the only one weho knows canderous ordo is a star wars knights of the old republic charecter?

Lookign good! I like the stubber, it looks very utilitarian and the orkiness was modelled away nicely. Kudos!

nope I noticed to but personaly i think the heavy stubber dude would make a better canderous as canderous used the bug guns carth onasi used the dual pistols

Great Job!

Everything is looking good and coming along nicely, I dig all the kit bashes you're doing.

If you people keep making =][= munda blogs I'm gonna have to follow suit and play that game I'm always brainstorming about...

These Kroot are BadAss

Loving the look of these guys! Subscribing for sure. Especially liking the Ex-spec ops look of jane. Can always name your mechanic Kaylee too

It's hard to tell from the angle of the pics, did you cut down the lasgun on his side at all

thx for the kind replies

Can always name your mechanic Kaylee too

I've been thinkin' about that

Both lasguns are shortened. For jayne's i've used a catachan lasgun and removed the middle part of the barrel. Cid's is the shortened gun from the cadian command squad plus the muzzle of a catachan lasgun

Lovely stuff, will be watching this. Good job with that stubber, but I gotta love Cid, just 'coz, well, just because he's Cid

I recognise the firefly reference

I think your crew is shaping up to be brilliant!

Ive missed this thread >

That heavy looks pimpnickle! Very tasty indeedy. Perhaps some spent casings littering the base he stand on? Also, the engineer character is coming along nicely as well.

There must allways be a Cid

@ghosty: thx... I didn't find any spare time for my hobby the last two month... I hope I manage to paint the Tau and another Kroot this week

@jack: some casings might be a nice addition... thx... I'll try to do this soon... btw any news from the "hunde"?? your thraed hasn't been updated for a while too...

great work so far makes me wanna make a Firefly munda gang now, lol. Keep up the good work.

Hi everybody...

I finaly managed to do some painting after almost 5 month... here is my TAU environment armor... still have no name for him... thinking about something like trashcan... I tried to do some weathering on the armor... dirt rust and so on... I'm not sure about this so please leave some critics and comments

And for all of you who missed my thread... I'll try updating it more often from now on^^

nice work. I dont what it is about your models, but they remind me of Starfox

Another littel update from my side... I've finished converting Privateer Press' Warcaster Kaelyssa model into an eldar with a shuriken catapult which will count as a needle sniper rifle...
Hope you like her...

Good to see you back. The Kaelyssa conversion looks nice, and I think you did a good job with Trashcan (think that name suits him)

The latest conversion works very well. What's in her left hand? Trashcan is cool, is he a Tau or a human in a special suit? I missed the background (sorry).

Thx for your nice comments

@green:
she's holding a knife in her left hand... I used the bayonet from a cadian lasgun
Trashcan is a Tau in a tau-environment-suit... he's the guy who scouts all the hazardous areas for biochemical threats proir to the crew salvaging it

Love this thread so much!

Hi,

Just went to check your thread, I'm really fond of the HAZOP suit for the Tau...

Really, really nice concept... Will be following this!

Absolutely beautiful painting and conversions! I'm a sucker for I-Munda/Necro threads... I'll be keeping an eye on this!

Keep up the good work!
