New Wave Necromunda - Cawdor Gang 30/04/20

Now this post is not strictly Necromunda, it's Kill Team: Rogue Trader, but I don't want to clog the forum up with mini threads and I reckon the Gellerpox Infected could be used in Necromunda as an insidious Chaos uprising or even plain muties. I loved the look of most of the models in the Rogue Trader boxed set but I really don't want to buy every boxed game that GW come out with because I know I'll never paint them all! As a compromise I bought the Gellerpox off ebay and got to work.

I really enjoyed painting these guys, it was a great opportunity to try different skin tones and techniques. Some look better than others and if I'm completely honest I don't quite consider Vulgrar Thrice Cursed, who is the three headed leader of the warband, finshed. His flames could be better and I've not finished his base now I look at it! My favourite is Mr Cleaver, followed by Mr My-Hand-Turned-Into-A-Talon, and then very closely by Mr Fishy Tentacle, who looks much more waxy and bloated in person.

Hello all, I'm back with some more hired guns! It's been a while and I've had a few of these sitting on my desk gathering dust while I've painted various other things, but I finally got round to them.

I'm trying to do different colour schemes for each hired gun and some come out better than others. I've kind of arranged them in reverse order of favourites, with Eyros Slagmyst coming out on top.











Hope you like! I've got the squat fellow on my painting desk too, although they've released another squat now that I think looks even better. I'll try to get Grendl done soonish, plenty of time what with the lockdown.

Great color picks. I really like the subtle tones on the bag-face guy

Thanks Mathias! He's essentially shades of green, which was quite fun to do while trying not to make him monotone.

Damn, lots of sweet stuff here! Those Nurgle guys are great, but that hooded sniper is my favourite by far!

Keep the nice stuff coming.

Superb paintwork 

[Genghis]

Very nice work.  I'll add my vote to bag-faced sniper being my favourite, some very nice tones you've got on him.

Thanks for all the kind comments! It seems bag faced sniper has won the popularity contest by a mile, although I still prefer Eyros myself 

Today is a larger update, a whole Cawdor gang. I bought these when I was going to start playing Necromunda at my local flgs, but didn't fancy starting out with my Eschers. I got a long way through them and then abandoned them to paint a Warcry warband and they've been sat on my desk almost finished since some time last year. I've finally finished them, I must admit the quality is variable but finished is always better than sitting on my desk forever!







Molotov man is my favourite of the bunch, he was the model I used to test the scheme and probably had the most attention heaped on him. I also think he's got the most interesting pose of the whole gang. If I were painting another gang I think I'd plan ahead for a bit more spot colour, I think the regular gangers are a little monotone despite being bright pink!

Also opinions/tips appreciated on photography. I'm liking other people's threads with models arranged in suitable scenery, as I've tried to do above, but the lighting is all over the place and these are the best three photos of quite a few. Anyone have any advice?
