Way back when, in the days that =I=Munda first saw the light of day over on the Dakkadakka forums, I started on a little salvage crew. Lowlifes that boarded derelict ships to get what they could before the official Mechanicus and Naval Reclamation vessels could arrive at the scene. Crows of the Void, picking at corpses, only to scatter before the bigger scavengers...
This is the original group I built at the time:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/Miniatures%20in%20Action/HPIM2864.jpg)
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/Miniatures%20in%20Action/HPIM2866.jpg)
This first group was fairly generic, so I'd be able to use them as salvagers, low ranking naval armsmen, station security, whatever NPC group I'd need.
But it was also very much a combat group, for a salvage crew they had very few scavengers, they lacked more civilian types.
I was already on my way to correcting that with a plasmacutter-servitor and a savant, when the project stalled due to lack of people to game with.
Here are those two additions:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/HPIM2916.jpg)
1-G0R, with his cargo clamp and Rhyza-built Class IV "Gooseneck" plasma cutter arm.
And the as-yet unnamed savant:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/HPIM2956.jpg)
Here you can see the augmetic frame the elderly man needs to able to move in the bulky void suit:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/HPIM2959.jpg)
For light in dark derelicts, they could use these "Lux" pattern servoskulls:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/HPIM2950.jpg)
(The grille has since been greenstuffed shut, to make it a floodlight.)
So, why bring all this up now?
Well, because I've started expanding the group again!
Here is the new addition in a pre-greenstuff test assemble, leading the way for the savant I showed earlier:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150301_003.jpg)
She has a heavy Lumen-wand in an overhand grip, ready to whack anything that might get startled out of the shadows.
I the other hand she carries a powered Boarding Gaff (inspired by Jes Goodwins Naval crew drawings), here's a better view of it:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150301_007.jpg)
As part of the scavenging crew she will get a less heavily armoured void suit than the boarding party. She will also need ears and hair, so out came the green stuff:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150302_004.jpg)
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150302_007.jpg)
(God, are such tiny ears a nuisance to sculpt! Bad for the blood pressure...)
I still need to add arbites-style kneepads and her hair, I'm thinking of a single central faux-hawk ponytail and shaved sides, Escher style. But first this GS pass needs to cure, don't want to smush anything up.
So, what more is planned?
I want to add a big burly man with a nice two-handed crowbar, one or two guys with simple towershields, one of which will get a boarding gaff also. I see these guys as double duty troops: If the boarding team gets into trouble, they can provide cover and close combat support. When all is clear they can use their gaffs and shields for hauling cargo. Should there be an unexpected hull breach, they can use their (disposable) shields and some sealant foam to close the hole. (Which means they should both get cans of sealant foam, aka web grenades. Or I could simply give one a webber, to represent "alternate use" of a sealant foam gun.)
I've also got the bits to make a Crewboss in a more fancy pattern of void suit. Maybe at one point I'll also add a tracked or grav cargo sled for hauling loot. But with those last to additions the group will definitely have become an experienced, professional outfit, who may even occasionally take on a legal job <shudder>...
-
Wonderful ideas and execution.
8) 8)
I do recall seeing these at some point in the past but had no idea where.
Now I know where to find them again to steal all you great ideas!
:D
-
Thank you!
Steal away! To be honest I got the "inspiration" for the void suit conversion off Xanthus on Dakkadakka myself. ;)
I'd love to see what you come up with.
-
Oh man, I also made started a crew based on Xanthus guys from dakka dakka. I need to dig them out and start working on them again.
Very cool and looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
-
Most excellent idea and figs. Sounds like they'd make for some excellent games.
-
I'm so pleased you're reviving this project! I remember these guys from many moons ago on DakkaDakka and was always sorry we didn't see more of them. Looking forward to the additions.
-
Nice. Got a list of the bits used? Especially the gorget/neckguard bit.
Nice stuff. :)
-
Excellent stuff. This kind of creativity and personalisation is what really makes the hobby for me. :) Being appropriated as void suits really makes those chunky Cadians look a look better! And yeah, ears are a bugger, aren't they? Takes me far too long trying to get them lined up symmetrically.
Lastly, Wachaza: second thing I noticed was the use of kroot shoulder pads for the neckguards. :D Very effective.
-
Great stuff, I look forward to seeing more! :)
-
Fantastic, this is the kind of thing that would get me playing 40k games again.
-
Thank you, guys! I'm glad you lot like them, certainly spurs me on to keep going on them. :)
Commisarmoody, please do! The more the merrier...
Wachaza: Cadian torso, legs and arms. Kroot shoulder pads for the gorget and kneepads (though you could substitute the kneepads with Cadian shoulderpads), the stomach plate on the original gang is the square armour plate from the Kroot sprue. The shotguns come from the old Necromunda plastics, the heads in the padded caps from the old plastic Sentinel (apparently the newer plastic version doesn't have these heads anymore...).
Dentatus, Vermis, Dewbakuk, that's actually a major reason for me to do gangs/warbands like this. I've found the "official" version of 40k less and less interesting over the years, the increasingly massive scale of the game, the clunky, often illogical rules, that got more and more disconnected from the background stories as the editions progressed, the hyperbole stacked on hyperbole, it just didn't excite me anymore. It got me thinking about what drew me to the game in the first place, and what kept me coming back and giving the game another chance, time and time again. It is the setting and the human measure within that monolithic galaxy-spanning empire that appeals to me. The most fun I had in GW games were things like second edition 40K, Necromunda, Mordheim, Inquisitor and Gorkamorka. Games at a skirmish level, where individuals mattered beyond being wound counters for the heavy weapon guy. Where the smaller nooks and crannies of the setting were explored, the more civilian, "human" side of things. Just around the time I was first pondering these things, the concept of =I=Munda or Inquisimunda arose. It was right up my alley, the whole attitude of "Play the setting, not the product" and "Story first, rules last". This gang is part of me doing that. I guess it is a sort of parrallel evolution to the Oldhammer movement: taking the storydriven gaming and freedom that was in the old rules and setting, but applying it to the current day iteration of the setting. With maybe a healthy pinch of John Blanche-esque weirdness and gothic horror. Not so much of the latter in this gang though, they're fairly down to earth scavengers. :)
I also did some work on the next member of the crew:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150302_014.jpg)
A big brute of a man with his "universal unlocking tool"... I couldn't have a gang of Void Crows and not model at least one crowbar, now could I?
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150302_020.jpg)
I gave him shims of plasticard at his waist, under his feet and at his shoulders, attempting to make him a suitably big brute of a man. But the effect is less pronounced than I had wanted. Hopefully it will be more noticeable once painted and sat next to his buddies. If I also make sure to cover his base in plasticard, I can gain another mm of visual height.
The crowbar is simply heated and formed plastic rod. The most hassle in this conversion is finding the right arms and hands, and then fiddling to get everything to line up... Still easier than sculpting ears though.
He will get the same style of void suit that the little lady is wearing, so hopefully the arms will come back off without too much hassle when I do the greenstuff work. He will be getting the same armour as the lady salvager (as in female member of the salvage crew, not as in someone who salvages women! Duh! ;)) .
-
And Erik does it again. Some side project huh? lol
-
Excellent work
-
Those are really cool.
Nice use of Kroot shoulder pads, green stuff and ...everything :)
-
What an awesome project. I had never even thought of doing salvage crews. Now you have me wanting to do a whole crew to use in the Bug Hunt corridor Kickstarter terrain I haven't purchased yet but now suddenly need to use for models I haven't converted or painted yet...
Love the tools and details, especially the servo skull lights. Just so cool. This gets me to thinking of converting some of the new Pig Iron Kolony guys over to something like this...

This. Absolutely how I feel about 40k. It's why I came back to 40k, not to play it as it is now, but to take advantage of the new models that are available and recreate that skirmish element of what I loved about 40k from when I bought Rogue Trader as a pimply faced teen. Of course, as these kind of things go, now I own an Ork Stompa that needs to be fought over and am working on an entire city I'll probably never finish...
Now add to that a space hulk interior...
Inspiring work!
-
I pulled mine out of the project draw. Need some more work but I think I am off to a good start with them.

Scout arms and shot guns with an old Necromunda heavy stuber.
I think the crews now only need at leas one more long arm each. (Las, Auto, or Bolter)
And then a another close in guy or two.
Then I will start to make the Cerberus capital management and customs. A Legal salvage crew who are going to be the "Legal" baddies. And then its off to make mutants and cultists.
-
Preaching to the choir, Modhail! Talking about 40K gangs and kroot bits takes me back: I was trying to sort out a kroot merc army when I lost interest in 40K, so had a bunch of minis and sprues lying around when Necromunda had it's last official hurrah. Kroot bounty hunter/'Predator' pack, using Escher rules - job's a good 'un. Pity the job only got as far as a couple of heavy stubber conversions; though I still have those kroot lying around for Victory Decision, Rogue Planet etc. (And now I hear rumblings of a kroot merc rerelease, like the recent harlequin stuff. But I digress.)
The crowbar is simply heated and formed plastic rod. The most hassle in this conversion is finding the right arms and hands, and then fiddling to get everything to line up...
Looks too easy! The plastic rod's not too difficult to pull about, then?
-
Would like to see those kroot mercs.
-
And Erik does it again. Some side project huh? lol
What? All I've done so far is start to assemble two figures... lol
Commissarmoody, I like that crew! The packs on their stomachs are an especially nice touch. I may need to swipe that idea...
Looks too easy! The plastic rod's not too difficult to pull about, then?
Nope, just carefully pass it over a lighter or candle flame a few times to soften it. The biggest challenge is not overheating it, so it'll start melting or burning. Having a mug of cold water nearby (to set or extinguish the plastic) is a good idea.
-
Great stuff. This really is what's best about 40k these days: the small, characterful war bands. Yours certainly fits that bill. You're inspiring me to drag my paused project out. I plan to use Pulp Alley to run games.
-
Feel free to steal away. I need to find me some more kroot shoulder pads and chest plats.
-
I like this - a lot.
-
Thank you guys!
As a result of a comment on another forum (suggesting they'd go someplace their mental health would be at hazard), I simply had to make an itinerant priest to occasionally accompany them:(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150303_004.jpg)
(More waffle about my choices in making him this way on my blog, link is in my sig.)
Just a humble Itinerant Preacher, bringing religiosity to the backwoods of the local deep space stations and asteroid mining communities...
While I was working on him, I also started mock-up/testfit of the Crewboss for my salvage crew. Being the boss (and a pompous git!), he gets the fancy gear:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150303_001.jpg)
The bevor-style gorget on him is just a mock-up, the final version wil get a bit more contour added (the straight angles of the chest section will get a slight arch, and the collar/throat area will likely get a central crease added, just to make it look a bit more graceful). Naturally he will still need armour on his abdomen, knees and feet.
I'm also seeing if I can make a bit more advanced powerpacks for these two, what with one being a member of the clergy, and the other, well, a showoff...
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150303_006.jpg)
As you can see, strongly inspired by the SoB powerpack, though these will be more pedestrian, less fancy versions.
I may still discard the fancy pack for the Preacher at a later stadium and go for the simpler, bulkier powerpack after all. It would be easier for the priest to have serviced in the backwaters he visits, as it would be familiar tech for the locals. Plus it gives me more room to stash gear on the model, tying him in with the backpacks GW's original Imperial Preacher minis had, as well as being a clear visual clue for a Void Suit.
-
Awesome!
I remember these guys the first time around. It's an excellent concept and I'm glad to see it getting a second wind!
-
:)
beauty

(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150302_014.jpg)
I feel like this guy should be called Marv... "Crowbars up!"
-
This is fantastic stuff, a great thread.
Keep it up, and keep posting the results!
:)
-
I feel like this guy should be called Marv... "Crowbars up!"
Actually, I've been alternating between calling him "Key" (because he "unlocks" things) or Grox (As he has the size and muscle as well as the smell and vicious demeanor of one...).
I really should just pick one of the bunch and completely finish building him/her. I'm juggling too many concepts in my mind at the moment...
-
Liking the head used for the crewboss. Gives him a proper John Blanche vibe. :)
-
Man, this is so cool!! :o I love the ideas you are using here! And of course how they are turning out! Wonderful! :-*
-
Thank you Suber, Vermis. As the rank and file of the crew are rather pragmatic, I wanted to go a bit more Blanchean on the boss.
-
A little sidestep today, I had this mini lurking in a near-finished state for, well, far too long now. Originally just meant as a conversion for conversions sake (I played a lot of Mass Effect 2 at that time, and like all things, I fed that back into my hobby), he could also serve as an alien bountyhunter in Inq28:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150309_002.jpg)
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150309_004.jpg)
And the stash of collapsible weapons on his back, showing the ME2 influence the most clearly:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150309_003.jpg)
-
Nice use of Bitz!
-
Thanks! Just cut and glue, no greenstuff, a fun easy way to convert. The only hard part was carving the kroot beak into the mouth with sidejaws...
-
Ah, that's it, it had me bugged but I had not seen any Kroot in a while so thought it might be a variant of the sprue :D Well done!
-
Means I need to start making some Tau covert agents and strike teams now.
-
Loads of great ideas and wonderful execution here. I am very interested to see a few more of these painted. The not-Kroot looks really nice.
-
Thank you guys!
Commisarmoody, there's an idea... Hmmm, I believe I have an ethereal, some air caste and a sprue or two of Fire Warriors laying around somewhere. I may have to steal that idea further down the line.
Cheetor, I'm looking forward to getting them paint-ready. Still a fair bit of green stuff and bits to go on each of them. Also, I'd like to say that I really like your blog, it's a constant source of amusement and inspiration.
-
No problem, I am a great ideas guy. I just suck at getting my ideas done myself. lol
-
Wonderful subtle conversion on the Kroot head.
8) 8)
I like the sound of the Tau strike team too.
Go for it!
:D
-
Great job on the Kroot!
-
Thanks guys! Hopefully I'll be able do make a little progress on the scavengers later today.
-
And here is a little more progress on the void suited scavengers:
The priest has the gorget and neck sculpted into a full collar, and a plasticard stomach plate added, as well as boots. Crowbar dude has a full collar as well, plus his stomach armour. He now only needs his kneepads and toecaps added, before I can add the rest of his gear.
The lady now her void suit complete, with full collar, stomach plate, kneepads and toecaps. And she has hair!
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150310_002.jpg)
The hair was a bit of a hassle, as it went wrong several times. In the end it isn't as perfect as I'd like to have it, but it will do the trick. Here's a better look:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150310_004.jpg)
At this point the female scavenger only needs a base and some additional gear and she would be ready for paint. I'll wait until I have a few more at paint ready stage though, before I break out primer and brushes.
The crew boss I've put aside for the time being, as I'm still figuring out how to style his stomach armour. I did file his gorget into a more elegant shape, in preparation for cleaning it up with greenstuff later.
-
Very cool, and I wildly endorse the sentiment I'm seeing in this thread. 2nd Ed. was always my favourite...back when GW was a failing business run by true gamer geeks and crazies. The industrial might of lawyers and good business has turned them into the EA Games of miniatures (read: not good...mass production without soul).
I still love the fluff, and still enjoy things like Necromunda, Mordheim, etc. I fully endorse the atmosphere and the environment. Heck if the minis weren't as expensive as Elephant teef I'd gladly pick up some GW figures and play "other" rule sets with them. This is an incredibly cool idea. Alien, anyone? :D
-
Nice progress on the characters and though I'm not familiar with ME2, the TaRoot is a very well done figure. he looks cohesive enough to be an entire faction.
-
Eilif, Mass Effect was a pretty good sci-fi epic story told over 3 video games. Lots of great space opera ideas used and it was a lot of fun. If you can ignore the last 5 mins of the final Mass effect 3. lol
-
Elbows, I know what you mean. If we could get todays miniature quality with the company attitude and creativity of the 1st/2nd ed 40k era, it would be perfect. Sadly, we have what we have, and the best we can do is scavenge the good bits from between the mounds of dross (like proper Underhivers...).
I guess that's more or less what I'm doing through projects such as these, cherry-picking the best from the old and new versions of the universe/the company and cherishing what I love about the setting while going my own way with it.
-
The itinerant preacher had some more work done today. Here is how he looks now:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150311_001.jpg)
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150311_002.jpg)
He still has a bit to go before he is finished though:
The book still needs to be attached to his staff properly, with some metal bands I think. The rods on his pack need to be turned into candles with greenstuff and copper wire wicks. The foil purity seals on his shoulders are awaiting some greenstuff wax seals.
I'd like to add a brass etch aquila to his gorget, but I need to check if they fit first. Maybe he could also use a spare book somewhere and a proper Ecclesiarchy Icon about his person too. Mark him as an official member of the clergy somehow.
There are still bare areas; his stomach plate and the upper part of his pack, I'm wondering if I should leave them bare to retain some of the void suit lines, or add something, maybe a few purity seals to them?
-
I just finished a quick conversion for a Sealant Foam Gun, aka Webber or Web Gun for one of my Salvage crew members with a slab-shield and wanted to share it with you. (I've yet to decide what the slab-shield will look like though...)
Here she is:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/Modhail/WIP/InquisiMunda%20and%20Inq28/WP_20150319_001.jpg)
Just a quick conversion using the Cadian flamer, a Space Marine flamer canister and the (inverted) nozzle from a Chaos Space Marine vehicle accesory combi-flamer. I think it looks unique and identifiable enough to read as a Web Gun instead of a flamer.
Now I just need to make sure I model some canisters of foam/web solvent on the figure as well...
Oh, and the Preacher conversion is finished. But I forgot to take a picture... :(
-
Nice job on the webber! I just poured a silicone mold yesterday, I sculpted a webber based off the RT version. Can't wait to see if it worked :p
-
Ooh, I can't wait to see if it worked either... Did you make any pictures before molding?
-
The candles on the preacher have been just the inspiration i needed for my Inquisitor conversion that am doing at the moment, i needed a wy to do candles and there we go haha lol
Looking grand so far too for all pieces :)
-
Great work! Sadly I haven't worked too much on mine. New job taken up mu hobbie time
-
This is all so good. Looking forward to those pictures.
-
That preacher is a great conversion. Coming together really nicely.
-
I've got some of those Chaos flamers, I might attempt that myself :)
-
Cool, absolutely cool! This last idea about the web gun is great! I also need to try that myself! :-*
-
Thank you guys!
Matthais-Mouse, after cutting the plastic rod and glueing them on, I added a wick from a thin piece of copper wire. I planned to do the wax with sculpted greenstuff, but I came across a tutorial that mentioned "painting" on a few layers of PVA glue with a toothpick to make the molten wax. So I tried that. It doesn't show up well on photo, but I'll take a pic of the final effect once painted.
Once I had the idea the conversion went surprisingly simple. I'd been thinking how to do a webber for a while now, but was always stumped by how to make it distinct from a flamer to avoid confusion. I'm especially happy that I managed it with only currently available parts and without any sculpting or scratchbuilding. Especially as I made something that looked very much different from a flamer, from flamer parts only... lol
-
I look forward to seeing the painted effect. An alternative to pva glue would liquid green stuff I imagine too?
The webber conversion looks almost xenos in technology haha. Eldar-esque almost haha.
-
Ooh, I can't wait to see if it worked either... Did you make any pictures before molding?
Finally got a chance to snap a photo. I'm working on making a set of RT weapons that were never made as separate parts. So far I have a webgun, heavy webber, and grenade launcher. I'm still nailing down the casting issues, I'm having issues on some parts that seemed like they'd be easy, and others that have thin areas are doing fine.

I'm loving your project by the way, I've been collecting figures for quasi-space hulk games and your thread is great inspiration.
-
Ohhhhh! Those weapons are phenomenal. Superb modelling :)
-
I agree, those weapons look great! (You wouldn't happen to have done/do a man-portable conversion beamer as well, would you? I still need to figure one out for my Genestealer Cult...)
I'm loving your project by the way, I've been collecting figures for quasi-space hulk games and your thread is great inspiration.
Thank you! I've found that tunnelcrawling games are as much fun in a sci-fi setting as they are in fantasy. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
-
I don't have plans to make a Beamer, since GW made metal ones as separate peices, plus the GS cult/Chaos sprue had one also. I have a plastic chaos Beamer that I can send you, it has some paint residue on it though.
Next on my list is neuro disruptor, graviton gun, needlers and maybe a D-cannon.
Since I'm doing the LPL the RT weapon project is going to slow down a bit :(
-
NICE! I love the new versions of the RT weapons! Especially the web gun. Very very cool! Loving this project and been following it closely. Really hard to resist not diving into my own crew, but too many other projects need attention.
Great stuff.
-
Jeez, it took me ages to get back to this, hasn't it?
Anyway, the new crewmembers have been painted:

And the entire crew as it is now, with the new additions.

Hopefully the next additions won't have to wait for a year and a half... ;D

What a great project 8) :-*
Can anybody point me to a good resource on the background fluff and rules being used for these sort of games (I have no gaming history of 40k :o). Thanks :)
-
Thank you!
For the background you could visit the 40k wiki, it's the most extensive and least expensive source.
For rules, anything goes really. A rather freeform hybrid of Necromunda and Rogue Trader/2nd ed rules is popular, as is using the old Inquisitor rules. There are people using non-GW rules as well, like Pulp Alley, In the Emperor's Name, etc. Use what you and your group likes. The basic idea is "story before rules".

Those look good painted,like the kroot pad idea.

Excellent. I love the way you handled this project.

Just saw this thread and it's awesome. As a big fan of Inquisimunda (pretty much all i play now) I'm really loving the salvage crew. Have you had many games yet?
-
First time laying eyes on this topic, and man is it a great one!
I have to agree on the kroot shoulder pad thing, that's a stroke of genius there!
-
Great looking crew there: full of character. Terrain looks pretty good too!
-
Lovely additions, that gang is really taking shape now.
So full of character and excellent conversions.
Lovely atmospheric shot on the walkways too.
:-* :-*
Lovely sets of weapons there, Doc.
