The kits from MOM are so cool and a lot of fun to use.

Might I inquire what MOM is?

Mines of Moria? I'm gonna be building some Frostgrave Warbands and your men at arms looks awesome! I'd love to see what it would take to build similar.

I wasn't able to find what the acronym was in the last few pages of the PLOG.

@Scarper - cheers mate.

@Jathom - if you type MOM miniatures in to google you will find his site. He is a Spanish? miniature sculptor

Started adding a base layer of detail to the bone giant.











Starting to find my feet with the plasticard. He is a much larger model and therefore more forgiving. Hopefully I will get some more done this afternoon.

He's starting to take shape now









I'm really not sure about the cloak on the back, I will probably remove it. I think it changes the aesthetic slightly plus it is billowing where the one on the front is static.

Final update for a little while as I'm on night shoots over the weekend.

I removed the cloak. It was too tattered and had too much movement (I like the idea of everything being dead in the desert, even the wind)

I then added a basic cut and shut topper for the loin cloth, it changes it high a little so it doesn't look like it is hanging off the hips any more where he has shrunk and dessicated but I am happy with the look.

I then pinned his other arm in place ready for the great weapon and started the detailing on the legs and arms. I have finished the bangle on his left hand, was worried it looks a bit like a wristwatch but paint will help with that. The one on the right is just the base shape and I plan on adding another couple of them or a forearm guard. The shin guard looks a little hokey, it's following the line of his leg but the angle looks a little exaggerated, I will see if adding the detailing and second shin guard on the other leg remedies this, either way it will be relatively simple to rip it off and reposition.







My main concern now is that I overclutter him. I'm starting to lose the big plain areas of the miniature which I quite liked, but at the same time I like everything I am adding in isolation. I have a feeling it will turn into a bit of a balancing act, I am planning a simplistic paint scheme so this could help 'pull back' any overreach in detail.

The scheme I am thinking of can be seen here

Shinguards seem to big to my eyes. Most examples I've seen on ancient armor stop well below the knee.

I was basing it off the ones on the tomb guard, but maybe it doesn't look right scaled up...

That might be the case. I think that he is largely otherwise unarmored makes it stand out even more. Smaller and simpler would draw more attention to that sweet headdress. Maybe something like:


Obviously feel free to ignore me too, as 1) it's your model and 2) you are way better at conversions than me.

Many nice conversions in this thread . Colossus looks great !

Sorry, went quiet for a while there, have had a lot of work on and, although there has been time for model making, there has not been a lot of time for posting.

Neglected to update quite a lot of stuff but rather than digging through it all here is the current project, a second tilt at making Pitslaves.













All fairly simple, but the kairic bodies give them a classic, gladiarorial aesthetic which I am digging. NO I'M SPARTICUS....

Proof that I do occasionally paint....



apologies for blur, I don't really understand it, the image is of much better quality than the gallery upload....

Nice comeback. Good work on the additions.

Dude I'm absolutely loving those pitslaves I hope you don't mind but I'm absolutely stealing that idea!

Pitch-perfect

def stealing the buzz saw weapon for my necromunda gang. LOVE it.

Great work on the pit slaves and the painting of the Van Saar. You came out of hibernation just in time for the new Necromunda edition .Glad to see you back and at it.

@drH - cheers man, good to be back

@Ynneadwraith - steal away dude.

@supreme overlord - those cogs are super cheap to buy on eBay and you get lots of options to decide on a good scale

@Theophony - cheers man, I have mixed hopes for the new edition, I'm currently viewing it as a new source of bits.

quick update.

I ended up having to host a campaign game at mine the other day which meant dragging out my half finished Necromunda gaming board. It is a project that often occupies my mind but rarely my actual hobby time



The trenches and sump sewer both worked excellently during the match and it kick started me to break out the plasticard and make some progress. The sewers on half 1 are now pretty much complete as well as all the trench system so I can finally start building floor structures.

Below is a simple picture documentation of the build.











I have a gig for the next couple of weeks, hopefully there is time to push on, it would be great to have a significant amount done before November's rerelease.

Nice work on the table, good design.. Look forward to seeing it progress.

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the radio silence it’s been a packed six months of work, mainly away.

Over the last week I got my first time off since January so I started to articulate some of the ideas that have been knocking around my head.

Always loved hybrids and think that they have a place in Necromunda. However my nose was put out of joint by White Dearfs mining suit explanation last month. It seemed a bit square peg/ round hole so I decided to break some chumps out of their hazard gear and see if I could put the ‘cult’ back in to their aesthetic.

Phase 1 - the basic build, is now pretty much complete

I’m not really keen on the adept/mangos as he looks a bit too ornate for the gang, I may build a different one today. Once that is done I can get down to phase 2 - icons, GS and other bits and bobs

Lovely stuff dude the pit slaves are epic

Awesome take on the GSC.

Thanks guys, they are proving fun.

If anyone is interested I have a model making account on instagram now where I will be posting more regularly.

Username - hackedplastic

Ah so you're hackedplastic

Following you on IG, which is just as well as for some reason yaktribe images don't show up for me...

I am indeed, I’ve been following you here for some time. It was nice to see you pop up on the app.
