Necromunda terrain

Hi all, S here. Just a quick post showing this piece of terrain I made recently. I'd been wanting to make something out of this giant tube of mini chedders and i'm pretty happy with it..

OH YEAH! BA codex came in the post. I was going to post a few pictures with different angles and lighting but I think we all know what it looks like  <^.^>

 

Necromunda Battle report ashwaste v delaque campaign 3rd fight

Hi there Fd back with another battle report for necromunda campaign allan vs S.
Finally got to play something other than the gang fight scenario, ended up with S being able to choose which game we played and she chose scavengers which was quite different. Check it out.

cawdor vs orlock necromunda video bat rep

Hi there another necromunda battle report for you all. This one is a seperate campaign im playing against george . Quite a quick one again but it's all good stuff. Enjoy!

Chaos dread finished and more Necromunda stuff

Hi there, I've finally finished my Emperors children dreadnought! (with space marine cc arm and alpha legion sarcophagus lol) It doesn't look amazing I know but its only the third vehicle i've ever painted and progress is slow for me and hard earned but it's very rewarding to see even small improvements in your own work (I'm sure you'll all agree with me on this)

I basically did a lot of washing,a bit of drybrushing,some blending even attempting a little object source lighting but the only thing I really did to any affect in my opinion was the heat staining on the auto cannon barrels. This idea i got from Ron from the warps blog post which you can find here....http://fromthewarp.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/how-to-paint-heat-stained-gun-barrels.html


I did it less impressively and somewhat weaker in terms of the heat staining if you will, as I imagine auto cannons aren't as heat producing as the terminators assualt cannon seen in Rons post.

Any criticism or suggestions on my painting is always  welcomed and appreciated!






Also on my desk this week was a lil guy known in necromunda as a 'Juve' He's a cawdor juve who looks very scared ha ha i think the dum dum bullets in his stub gun are about to blow up in his face maybe :S

The paints a little thick i think this is the third time i've repainted this metal nec dude. Also carrying on with the necromunda theme this week another ash waste nomad i created from bits and pieces ...(spot the tau bits used to create a long rifle lol) I'm a crappy sculpter but i freakin love green stuff!!!!! it's so fun to mess about with. 

He is a heavy with heavy stubber and long rifle ..'but wait you already have two heavies in that gang that's the maximum!' yes you are right imaginary voice but ... it's always good to have options in necromunda where guys routinely fall off walkways to their untimely and gruesome deaths (its cool to replace guys with different models and different weapons etc) If you want to see a video bat rep of a necromunda campaign game skip back one post in our blog and have a gander ! untill next time then ... bye :D

Necromunda video bat rep Delaque vs AW Nomads campaign

So here it is, the first game in our campaign. I can't even describe how fun it was, ok it was very fun ^-^ It's a short one because the turns are quite brief and S failed her 1st bottle test. This was unlike the game Allan had with George yesterday when noone bottled for ages.

It meant the game ended earlier than we'd hoped and because it is fairly likely, Nec games can be very short, but that is why playing a campaign is essential!

necromunda painting update

Hi allan here with another quick post. Just wanted to show you a couple of minis i finnished painting for necromunda today. The first is another ash waste nomad ganger. Me and S have played 4 practice games of necromunda so far all of which were really great fun but we made mistakes which we have learned from. These practice games are so that we dont make mistakes when playing an actual campaign.

We are planning to play one more practice game on sunday, we will make a bat rep out of this even though it won't be a campaign game (There is a serious lack of necromunda bat reps on youtube!) I'm also playing a necromunda intro game on saturday with my friend george it will not be filmed but i may take some pictures.

This latest ash waste nomad i really like, i didn't go for a realistic look with the eyes as i wanted a kinda evil anime character look as this gang really reminds me of the bad guys in the akira manga books (no not the movie!....... the manga!)   here are some more pics of him.

Also I painted my second cawdor gang member. This model could be used as a ganger or leader but the way i painted him i think he looks decidedly leaderish.

I have been painting alot of stuff recently but therein lies the problem. I have developed a speed painting technique whereby I jus paint everything in foundation paints thinly maybe spend a long time on the face if there is one, then just wash the whole thing. It's good for getting models done quickly but I need to improve my painting skills and this is not the way to do that.

Anyway hope you enjoyed the post and hopefully we will have some more quality posts this weekend and also aim to have the necromunda video battle report up on the blog come monday!
