Amazing work through and through. That bits-shed looks like a neat place to hang out and rummage through!

Awesome stuff dude, looking forward to more additions

This is some amazing work and I'm so unbelievably sorry but I think I might have to make a squad of those minatours.

While waiting for paints and green stuff to arrive for the titan (I’m almost out of green stuff and paint for this army is virtually all gone… ), I started to think and exploring more into the fluff of the metal beast mercenary army in the 40k universe. From the start I wanted to do a 40k equivalent of all the units, especially the special characters from the fantasy beastmen army…. In fantasy the special character- Ungrol four horn and his unit- are a part of the beastmen army, who occasionally will interact with the main herd, but will sort of go off do their own thing the rest of the time (fluff-wise and game wise)... So I figure in the 40k universe, the perfect equivalent for them is a Necromunda gang with Ungrol being the gang leader.

Within the Metal beast mercenaries structure, I imagine Ungrol and his unit to be sort of the PR (public relations) of the main army, based on Necromunda. A point of contact in which the noble houses of the spires, or the lords of the Spires can reach and hire the main Metal beast mercenaries force to do a contract or whatever else that needs to be done.

Based in hive city in hive primus- they are allowed (by the lords) to go in and out of all section of the hive freely, so that they can receive or give any messages for the main army, put up advertisement posters, hand out flyers, tagging walls, receive payments, etc.

When they don’t have to do any Metal beast mercenaries related business (which takes up a lot of their time), they tend to go and do random things for themselves such as- occasional jobs from the houses of the hive city, racketeering, being hired guns, or anything else that might make them some credits…

Then I stop thinking and started sculpting with what’s left of the green…


















OHHHHH SERVED!!!!!

Here’s the gang (PR Department)-




Ungrol- Head(s) of PR














Heavy with heavy stubber - creative director















Gangers - general staff



























Just incase yall want to know how to do the fluttering clothe thing-

First mix some green stuff, stretch and flatten it out till you get the thickness and the width you want. Find something circular, and drape it around randomly like so-







Wait for it to dry, then cut it up to the length you want. Then simply glue it onto where you want it to go. If it’s a part of something else just use a bit of green stuff to blend the two parts in.

Juvies -interns














I figured there will be many other groups like this with its own regional manager in most if not all the systems reporting to Ungrol, then to the main force. They are abhuman beastmen ungors so they can blend in with the imperiums, the chaos/heretics, and most of other alien race.


That’s it for now until the paint comes in.

Lookin' godo as always!

looking great, shouldn't you also have human PR that go to the parts of the imperium that are more xenophobic?

Wow....at every new pics, i'm getting jelous of your skill!

The PR team is great and the titan.....absolutely stunning! wonder what you will show you next!

Bloody fantastic! Great idea too!

I love 4 Horns! His pose is really cool, and very characterful.

Oh, and am I right in saying Ungrol is based off of the cultist with the Commissar coat?

lol- Even if there are human pr as just the contact- they are still essentially be hiring beastmen... I dont think those part of the imperium will trust or hire any "dirty" abhuman to do any thing for them even if they are desperate. Also Our Metal beast Marketing department says that they are not our target audience, so we shouldn't waist our time and resources on them in the first place....

for all of them I used the tau stealth suite legs- top bit (knees up- shaved down then clothe trouser legs and pockets are sculpted onto them with green stuff. the upper body and the head comes from regular ungors. I sculpted the cloaks onto them with green stuff (in the same way I did the capes on the terminators, but with two section instead of one big one). the shot guns are from anvil industry miniatures (they are such awesome sculpts, and they are worth every penny!!!!!), and the base are from hitech miniatures (also awesome sculpt).

Lovely models, mate, as usual!

What I love most though is the fact that, even though they are PR operatives, those guys will still take the time to blow gak up and cause a ruckus in the underhive every now and then. Beastmen will be Beastmen, after all

Keep up the spectacular work!

The guy with the cigar is definitely my favourite and perfect for a gang leader. I suppose I don't really like the second head - the one without the cigar - but I guess this is there because he is based on a fantasy special character. I do think though that the silhouette in that first picture you posted of him looks great (when you can't really see the second head). Great idea.

Oh, but where is your second heavy? Surely you want another one with a flamer or something?

Holy S%*+ you can have two!!!!!!! I've been playing necromunda on and off for the past 15 years and for some reason I always thought that you can only have one heavy in a gang.... Kind of like one heavy in a unit in 40k. It might be a mental block or some thing.... I'm such a idiot!!!!

Thank you... right second heavy it is....

Are you going to write up a sort of rulebook for your army detailing their fluff along with some of your add posters? (Including everything else you've been doing to flesh them out.)

Yeah I was also wondering what codex you use? Standard marine codex? I could see you using the SW codex also.

love how you could think of a logial reason your army would have a "gang" on necomunda, great looking models too!

epic models again sir!

this is not really an update- but I was looking for parts on E-bay for my army (thinking of expanding it more) and I happened to find this -

Got through the last 3 pages and felt my jaw drop as you mentioned this project was finished - the vision and execution, Mayajid, were simply amazing. It's great to see such a project, and I'm happy you chose Dakka to present it.

... then you go and continue!! With a huge Titan, no less... and an Inq 54mm-sized Metal Beast! They look great, and I'm hoping to see more of that Titan! Any clue as to the rest of your retinue for Inq 54mm?

Cygor ( Cygor Pattern Warhound Titan)




















































































Lets go to work!!!




















Cant wait for appoc……

Wow.. that titan is just amazing, i like your stuff!!

That Titan is incredible!
Love the dynamism of the Ungor gangers aswell.

Crazy good man... exalted!

Tell me you painted the wall orange to use as a backdrop to your gaming table?

One of the best threads on dakka!

Holy ! That is amazing!

Wow mate, this may basically be the first ever action figure to Titan conversion that actually ended up looking cool! Stelllar work, as usual!

I am also very glad to see that your Metal Beast Mercenaries show no signs of slowing down! Definitely keep this up!

P.S. Shame about that Helbrute, though :(
