If you read the intro it is GW Sanctioned except for the gangs who have rules posted on the SG site

ha oke thanks for the advice BLACKHAND. Oh and thanks for the link Anthony_D, but I can't open it, "page not found"

oke I need some ideas. I am planning on making an orlock based Rastafarian gang. All with dreads and some cool clothing. of course some joints shouldn't be missing. for they're weapons, i'm going to model them so they look very antiquated. I'll even add a pirate style blunderbuss and I'll count it as a shotgun. I am still looking for the right parts, any suggestions? I would also like to hear some suitable gang names from you, as I suck at coming up with original names. my 1st try is "Dem Rasta boys" (see, not very original)

Thanks already

do a search for ash wastes

Very nice work all round. I am quite jealous of your new found camera skills, I have the same problem you did. The way you paint your metal terrain is very good. Please could you post a link and possibly some more information on those Urban war and triad models, I really like them.

lorrylemming: here is the link to the home page of urban mammoth.

Anthont_D: I will.

I loaded it again tonight, it takes AGES to load though as it is a pdf and quite large

As to your gang idea, start with these as a base and add weapons maybe?

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod20048

yeah, I was thinking about them too. They should be a good base for conversions. But they are a bit pricy. I belgium that is 30.00 euros, and thats a lot of money. But hey I have to buy them 1 day.

update time. another juve ( with knife and stub gun) and a crate of lasguns (c&c welcome)

Latest addition's looking good. You're really improving with your GS. Maybe you need to invest in some tools for GS, look up colour shapers, they'll really help you improve even more (plus you won't get fingerprints on models!! )

Love the lasgun crate as well. Is that for Scavenger scenarios?

yes the crates are for scavengers, or the custom scenario I made (link Is in a previous post) I still have to paint the lasguns though.

I'll buy the color shapers later(parents won't let me go anywhere while the exams are busy

Right, for the orlocks, why not scavvy or ash wasters? they seem to fit the idea more. Anywho, ofc the leader would have to be called King Willy.

king willy? that doesn't sound too rasta to me. For my leader I was thinking about Lutan Fyah or Ki-Mani. That are the names of 2 reggae artists. + they sound good for gangers.

painted the lasguns in the crate. The wash still has to dry though.

If I'm not mistaken king Willy was the Rasta voodoo gang leader from predator 2. He was more then bad ass enough to run a necromunda gang! In fact I might have to start a chapter in the US...
Ok down to business. Shopping list. Plasticard, Styrofoam insulation, window screen, broken guitar strings, 1 gallon Elmer's all purpose glue, foam core & plumbers putty.
Plasticard: the more the better. I recommend starting with the kind that has the squares cut into one side so that you can snap it as you go, because this stuff is awesome but it dulls a blade way to fast and you can easily make things a uniform size by simply counting the squares. I know what you are thinking why buy pasticard when I can just use card board for free. Well most people can spot cardboard from a mile off and cardboard warps when you glue or paint it. you can get plasitcard I beams, sheets in the shape of brick and shingle too, this stuff coast a bit but it's a modelers best friend. Oh yeah and you'll never have to use contour putty to mask that congregated center that you find in the cardboard that you are using.
Styrofoam insulation: This stuff is vital! it will form the base of your game table. light weight and strong, it's sold in sheets of 4ft by 8ft, yep the size of a normal 40k table. It can be used for the base of buildings rocks tyranid spires, trenches, craters and just about anything your'e skill level will allow. If you haven't seen this in tutorials then your just not looking.
window screen: It's cheap, easy to cut. It makes fences, windows & the grating on those sci-fi walk ways you see every where on the net. Try cutting some to the shape of your pop can catwalks, place it on top, then frame the edges of with card bored from a cereal box. Once you have framed both sides with strips lay stips of the same thickness a crossed the width to make squares. after you have made you're squares you can lay peaces down the center of the square or cross two peaces to make an X a crossed the square. This will mimic a common sci-fi theme that you see in the movie Aliens, star wars and many others. If I wasn't on vacation in a third world country rife with crappy internet connections I would find a picture for you right now, but that will have to wait for now.
broken guitar string: Armored wires, and cables. Why broken, well because it's free.
1 gallon Elmer's all purpose glue: it'll glue wood Styrofoam and sand together. If you cant get your hands on water affects (a water based resin) you can use it to make rivers, blood, oil or what have you because its mixes with water which means it mixes with paints and washes. You can also dilute it with water to seal things with out losing details before you paint. If you forget to wash it off of your brush before it dries soak it in hot water, and then wash it off. (can you tell that I love the stuff) the reason that you need to get a gallon is because it's many time cheaper that way, and you will use a lot! A lot of the time hot glue is just as good and much faster but you need to have this on hand. No really you NEED this. Do you have it yet?... good moving on.
Foamcore: it's card board with Styrofoam in the center instead of congregated cardboard. you can use it any time that you would use cardboard, but the center doesn't need to be filled and it makes perfect plaster walls and you can peel the card off of one side to and carve tiles or hard wood floors into the foam. Really cheap if not free. Check art store or hardware stores.
plumbers putty: it's a cheaper version of green stuff. Lower grain quality but damn cheap in comparison. use it when fine detail isn't as important. ok that's enough for now if you'll get some of this stuff then I'll start linking you to super easy tutorials. By the way if cost is an issue, I get free guitar strings from music shops, foam core from art store dumpster and insulation foam from hardware store dumpsters. I know dumpster diving isn't for every one and I'm not suggesting that you do anything that makes you uncomfortable or embarrasses you or your parents, but I've made entire bombed out cities this way. Many times the store just give me there scraps when I asked.

wow that was a big post to read through. well i got a variant of elmer al purpose glue, I also have styrofoam insulation. for the walkways on those cola cans, the curent walkways are just proxies, I'll make cool looking ones later. And i don't really want that sci-fi look of star wars for necromunda, I rather like old buildings, looking like they could collapse every minutes. I'm also building my necro terrain after the image of a slum rather than high tech things. But there are good advices in you post so thank you.

That list is my standard set of materials regardless of what I'm making. Don't forget their ramshackle house will incorporate scarps from the hive. I left out sand but I'm only damn close to perfect.

Looking good,when you model your greenstuff try wetting your fingers and the greenstuff it might help,not too sure

Nice stuff.

I've heard both water or olive oil will help, though you probably want
some kind of dental tool to smooth things out.

thanks for the tips guys.

King willy took on the predator in single combat. He lost, but you know, he went at it with a sword, where as everyone else just shot it. He'd be an inspirational gang leader.

hmmmm..... maybe i'll use that name for my heavy.

I have the 1st one converted. Its a Ganger with 2 auto pistols and a knife. (and of course dreadlocks)

update. The prototype Rasta ganger. I wanted him to look as a big, fearsome man. Hence the Catachan parts. The dreadlocks aren't perfect, but I am happy with them. (c&c welcome.)
keep blazin'

Kool figs. i like what you guys are doing,ill keep reading this forum.great work. you and bosh have insprired me to start a blood bowl forum.makes me want to start playing necromunda. but i already liquidated my figs. rats!!!love the scenary reminds me of mine.im so sick of everyone pushing that stuff has to be perfect. im no expert modellerand I have a beer/ garage league.henc the no perfection were at no store.

Why not call your gang leader..... King Willy?

Like the ganger alot, but the 'locls seem jsut to be resting on his head..

@ krazy kenny: thank you for sharing my point of view!

@Ghosty: That's because he is wearing a bandana, that way his hair LOOKS like it's just resting on his head. (It could also be my bad greenstuff skills lol!)

oh, and for the rasta gang leader i decided the name Simma. So no whining about king willy lol!
