Title: A bit of Necromunda - Some game photos - page 16
Post by: OSHIROmodels on March 13, 2018, 08:40:07 PM
But on the water world of Mare Solum  :)

I’m in a little FB group who have got a water world as a setting for Necromunda (or inquismunda28, or whatever takes your fancy).

It’s not all as ramshackle as the underhive but some bits can be  :)

I’ve gone for a prospecting group gathering minerals from heat vents under the surface. Using the genestealer cultist figures but none of the mutation bits and a generally yellow/orange and black colour scheme.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/31/2619-130318205934-318491998.jpeg)

The dinghy was built nearly 20 years ago at uni but for some reason I’ve kept it all this time 🤪 added a few bits to finish it off. The prospectors use these quick dinghies to monitor their mineral gathering stations dotted around the main processing station.

I’m thing a Chris Foss style paint job for all the equipment and tech but with plenty of suitable weathering.

I like that dinghy!
Looking forward to seeing where you are going with this as I have always liked the idea of a waterworld setting.

Had to look up 'Chris Foss' to know what you meant.
Looking forward to seeing your take on it when you get that far.

Seems we're getting swamped these days in great new projects.

Really like the look and proportions of the dingy. May I ask what you used for the pressurized parts? EMA hard plastic tubing? I'd been planning to do a variety of small craft for my Brit-Fi project, too, but I'm having a hard time finding suitable materials for it.

OOh nice James, I'm rather partial to those cultist figures too. The breather mask head looks cool 8)

Yes, it’s all EMA tubing, a bit on the pricey side but worth it for the look in the end.

Started on a small rig. Gonna keep it on the buoy and have plenty of floating platforms around it and a few platforms part the way up. I’m quite glad I kept those old plastic pint glasses from uni  lol

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/31/2619-170318080811-318922130.jpeg)

Also got the test scheme on the first figure. Quite pleased with how it turned out, just gonna have to be careful when making the other figures that they don’t stray too much from the overall design. Those new Van Saar figures could do as well...

That test works for me, the "back" area especially looks good with the colour contrasts of suit, tech, and armour.

Nice PostApoc gunge weathering on the base too. Does any of his breather tech or gun need a bit of a dirty up to match? He's a rather clean fellow.

Cheers

I thought that and might give it a bit of a go. Although he didn’t take long to paint I don’t want to wreck it and might wait until I’m less chicken  lol

Id say a little recessed orange rust in the backpack breather tech, perhaps a little dark gunmetal chipping on the white plas-steel armour. I guess the "water boys" can keep their uniforms clean with all that water available for laundry.  ;)

Salute got in the way but now most of the post-Salute is done I may devote some time to my little projects.

Detailed the tower and gave it a light coat of primer. The floaters are painted but I need about 4x as many... Plenty of pipes and cables to go on after painting but I'm thinking I should've left the handrails off till the end.

Got some paint on the dinghy. Not over enamoured with the colour scheme and I think I'll do some more weathering on the 'deck' but it' out the way now and I can move back onto the rig tower (although some more figures would be good as well )

I must say, I'd have expected a yellow-black-striped flotation hull combined with dark grey for the superstructure, but that may be by unwarranted, nostalgia-fueled penchant for warning stripes talking.  lol

Seriously though, perfectly fine painting, but maybe a bit lacking in colour contrast. Doesn't really pop, especially when seen next to the contrast-rich figure, but of course you'll have to avoid candyland overload.

Been a long while since I did anything for this  :?  Was going to start on an Ian McQue style floaty boat (that can be used for Star Wars as well) but after digging around I found this hull for an Imperial Guard patrol boat that I started a while ago, nearly 20 years ago in fact  lol I had an anti aircraft gun scratchbuild somewhere that was going to go on the back but I couldn’t find it so might have a missile launcher instead (the creamy coloured thing). Plenty of work to do of course  o_o

Not too sure on the ‘radar’, may do something else.

Got an attack of plastic fantastic last night (and about an hour this morning) and made this floaty tug thingy. I'm posting it here but it could be used for Star Wars as well as generic sci-fi.

Heavily inspired by the Ian McQue drawings (and various models of the same). I think I'll paint it a dirty orange with plenty of different coloured panels, wires etc.

Yet again lovely work.
The closest I ever got to that kind of enthusiastic 'plastic attack'
was my first ever Airfix kit, HMS Cambeltown, I was four &
couldn't even read the instructions.
By the way it did not look good when I finished melting most
of it with almost a whole tube of glue, but boy was I proud of it.
I can't wait to see yours painted.

Glad to know I'm not the only person who kept thinking about Necromunda during the flick.  Suspect the AdMech cogboys would object to all that heretical technology though - although now that I think about it, Alita's Earth was wrecked by guys from Mars.  Hmmm....  :)

Project isn’t dead of course, just on a back burner like everything else  lol

I do have another wip to show. Is a small conversion of a HLBSC bathysphere intended for vsf (it should be on his new web site soon). I’ve added some tentacles, grabby hands and a big gun. Thinking that the gun could be on a magnet and would be swappable for something more Victorian but we’ll see.

It’s had a light coat of primer and needs some ‘bull bars’ here and there. I think I’ll paint it a very rusty white with some blue and red details.

Another project that disappears for a while and then gets some love  lol

Doing a bit more standard ‘Munda terrain at the moment but the Mare Solum stuff is still on the go (technically).

Quite pleased with how the LEDs turned out. It’s been a while since I’ve had to wire anything so there was a bit of back and forth remembering what wire went where  lol

I’ve used a few bits from the sci-Fi section of the webshop as they seem to fit quite well.

The LEDs were white ones but I dunked them in thick orange paint to both tone them down and reduce the amount of glare. Seems to have worked  :)

Finished off a second module last night. Probably won’t be able to start anymore for a while yet though. I’ll do some different coloured LEDs for the next module.

It does,  must admit. 

I miss the RT days when the Guard all looked the same, though.  Leave all the funky outfits and screwball regimental rules to the PDF and make the actual Guard troopers all equipped to the standard, faceless cogs in an uncaring machine whose sheer size demands near-absolute uniformity to sustain itself logistically.  You want an IG force with lots of aesthetic variety, have those troops be the local PDF or "special forces" levied in comparatively small numbers by higher-echelon commanders, Inquisitors, etc. and temporarily attached to the masses of proper IG to perform odd jobs, not stand in the battle line dying in droves.

Never going to happen at this point, but it would certainly help silence the endless bitching about why this-that-and-the-other regiment doesn't have unique plastic kits of their own, or why the existing ones haven't gotten an update, etc, etc.

I have drawn up some 200mm square base boards that I’ll hopefully be able to cut out at the same time as some commission work over the next few days.

200mm square (with possible rectangles at a later date) and 50mm high with detailed edges so they can act as canal or sump sides. It should make more sense when they’ve been cut and stuck  :)

Nice work on that Imperial Army trooper  ;D

Coincidentally, I've done a couple of squads of these up in the past, with the exact same conversion/weapon swap. I used Catachan lasguns on them, as they looked lighter; more like carabines, and some had a very cool carrying strap too.

Will you be doing more? because like many on the LAF, I too have a soft spot for them :)

I seem to have acquired a few squads of proper RT Imperial Army recently too, from this period.....

...which probably will not be touched until next year once I have settled on a colour scheme (probably not standard grey as I am painting a fair bit of that at the moment and may get fed up with it).

Unfortunately it's still in a box after the move; so many months ago...  lol

I have however been slowly getting some boards for this done. The idea is for 200mm squares (a decent size for the laser to do with all the edges) that can also be stacked to give height etc. I've got some stairs/corner sections etc cut out as well along with some more boards so it should be a fairly decent, if compact, set up when it's done.

They can also be put on a sea mat for some extra options and when I've got some more boards painted I'll do a larger set up.
The larger, container type building isn't painted yet.

Nice PDF. I always liked the early imperial guard miniatures style but I hated those crappy separate plastic arms and weapons. I see wargames Atlantic now sell a separate sprue of sci-fi weapons and arms that might be helpful for giving those old 1st edition minis a new lease of life.

Interesting; I'd have thought the slightly smaller size would have resulted in a better match with these older figures (as the original plastic arms were quite small if I recall).

That's a very tempting sprue!  :P

Lovely Dread, and I rather like the new bigger gun you've given it. :)  The stripes look a bit off-centre, but I don't think they are - rather, I suspect the model itself is perhaps not too symmetrically-sculpted?

I've been thinking about doing them a transport of some sort but haven't decided what yet.
What about something that's a "reverse-engineered" or de-Orkified Battlewagon? It might not be fully period-correct, but it would suit them as a second-tier transport, and also reflect the background that's always existed about Orks making use of wrecked and captured Imperial kit. :)

Now that's a proper cannon on that dread. Nice that you gave it the stunty legs instead of the taller ones; they fit the whole Hive city PDF style better, what with all those many tunnels to fight through... 8)

The stripes look a bit off-centre, but I don't think they are - rather, I suspect the model itself is perhaps not too symmetrically-sculpted?
Oh trust me, those dreads are wonky as heck. I've painted some of them before (and one in is the queue at this very moment), and just like most of the RT marines, it's often a bit of a guessing game.

But to me, the stripe looks pretty on the spot to be honest (but maybe I'm used to those lopsided lumps of goofiness by now).

Yeah, the stripe is as centred as I could get it on a wonky head  lol I did quite a bit of filing to get it as even as possible but it’s still slightly off  lol

For the transport I was thinking more of a hand-me-down from a prestigious regiment or maybe even a marine company. So open topped rhino or something similar. A decent vehicle that’s seen better days. In my head that’s more likely than an old orc vehicle but I do like that idea  :)

I meant that since Orks re-use Imperial vehicles, it makes sense that the Battlewagon was likely some form of Imperial vehicle originally too - before it was Orkified. So my suggestion was to make something that looks a bit like it could be modified by Orks into the Battlewagon we're familiar with by reverse-engineering the Battlewagon. Sorry if that wasn't clear before!  :)

That could definitely be worth exploring but probably at a later date as now I’ve got in my head an open topped rhino  lol

It might be better for a more ‘open field’ force (which I’ve got on the go) as the battlewagon is a bit big for a hive lol

Could even be something to think about for epic scale as well  ???

Got a quick game in the other week. I've only got enough of the boards for a 2x2 but it was enough. No report as such but the rules were Galactic Heroes 2nd Ed and it was a bit of a bloodbath  lol

Thanks chaps  :)

I played around with the photos in some editing software to make them a bit more gritty.

Your table is really nice, it has that vertical element that seems to be missing on a lot of tables. Maybe it's just nostalgia from the old paper and plastic bulkhead of the first edition but without a couple levels and walkways a table somehow seems lacking to me. Good job and thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I used to play a lot of 'Munda when it first came out with the plastic bulkheads and card elements, great fun  8)
