Title: Nick in the Underhive - Necromunda (update 1 may - forge tyrant painted)
Post by: Warboss Nick on June 11, 2020, 12:31:03 PM
My local club started a paint your gang project for Necromunda, and I got convinced as a late entry. The goal is to paint 500 credits per month with the goal of a legal 1000 and later 2000 credits gang. Up to two mercs can be taken for free if painted on top of the monthly batch.

I chose Goliath, hoping they will suit my play style. Certainly the new plastic miniatures are nice enough. My first 510 credits are a Paule, a stimmer with paired pulverisers, the bruisers Kalle and Ralle both with combat shotguns (one with additional spud-jacker) and Jupp a bruiser with axe and stub gun. The other two hangers are for later. And as I can’t help myself I also whipped together a bit of terrain.

A little terrain project for the hive: Fiete’s Fried Fastfood - bat free chinese chips. Fiete will serve you everything fried except for hive bats. At least that’s what Doc Hollywood certified for a little extra fee...

Thanks guys, glad you like it!

Just a small update. Finished two forge-born. One got new arms from the regular box. With a bit of filing and green stuff they fit the male forge-born nicely. Part of his back had to be remodelled with greenstuff though instead of the backpack the forge-born come with. His right arm is the plasma gun arm, with the gun taken off, hand re-positioned and a gorkamorka stub gun added I had lying around.

Time to show some progress. I’ve finished my forge tyrant BumBum, a conversion from a Khorne slaughterpriest as well as some gangers, an Ambot and Fiete the slopper.

And some WIP shots of the tyrant. I did some dry fitting along the way. The heavy bolter was a spare metal part that once must have belonged to some space marine thing. The magazine came courtesy of an ork shoota. For the arms and head I used spares from the stimmers. The head felt a little small at first but I’m quite content how it came about with the new Mohawk. All head to be fitted with filing and green stuff of course.

Wonderful project. The Necro kits are very nice... I almost bought a couple today while shopping for Blackstone Fortress sets.

I like the conversion work you've done on the tyrant!  The rest is great as well!

Thank you guys, much appreciated!

Great stuff. I love the yellow on that Ambot!

That’s black primer with white zenithal highlight as primer. Then yellow contrast paint and dry brush with first yellow and then a very light ochre / sand colour and some touch ups with agrax earthshade.

Just realised that I never posted pictures of the finished model nor some of the other gang additions. So here they are the finished forge tyrant along with my first Ambot, a slopper (he of Fiete’s Fried Fastfood) and another ganger. The group shot doesn’t show the whole gang but gives a good impression of what they look like.

And wouldn’t you know it, I finally got to play the gang after the plague has finally subsided in the hive. So I got to take some action shots in our club’s lovely terrain.
