Necromunda car - test piece

[demi_morgana]

Hey all,

It's been a while since I painted a vehicle so it was high time to change that.
A while back I found a damaged car in my kid's toy box - no wheels, some placcy parts broken off.
So the wreck got set of new LEGO wheels, some bits from GW vehicles sprues, mesh, fresh paint and voila - ready for the next Necromunda game.
 
Too bad the scale doesn't fit perfectly but it's fine enough for gaming purposes. Few more pics on the bloggy if anyone interested.

Next vehicle project: converted Hellhound. Hope to paint it in similar fashion - I had to practice painting chipped paint and rust
Hope you like it

Awesome. A GW version of a Mad Max vehicle.
Me and my mates used to play our own version of Necromunda vs Gorka Morka, called High Octane. It basically was Gorka Morka, but then only with humans and Necromunda-like weapons. Sa mix of the two books. Always was a lot of fun to play!

Cheers guys!

@Malebolgia: we hope to test something similar shortly: at this poin I have 2 cars, chimera and another one is being constructed. These should be just 'nuff for some sort of "capture the caravan" made up scenario or as you wrote: Necromunda/Gorkamorka crossover.

Really can't wait

Gorgeous!
I think that you got the rusting spot on.
 

(Those figures look amazing too. Any more pics of those?)

[demi_morgana]

Hehe, yeah - painting rust is always fun

Glad you like the models - at this point these are only ones painted from the Scavengers EM4 line. Remaining 5 gangers are either to be reshed off and repainted or already undercoated.
Mark Copplestone did just amazing work sculpting these minis.

Awesome paint work. That rust looks great.

Looks ok to me,reminds me of a conversion a scrap yard owner did once of a old Vauxhall car on a Chevy blazer chassis and running gear.

Great job bringing a cool unified whole out of a mix of parts.

To be honest, except for the decal, nothing about it says "Necromunda" or the 40k universe to me.  However, I think it's a brilliantly executed model that would be a fantastic for any of the post-apoc vehicle games I've played.  Wastelands, Nuclear Renaissance, etc....

Nice job on the EM4/Grenadier post apoc figs also.  I have the same figs, but yours are much better painted.

Very Nice Demi, I really like the top hatch and the guy looking through.     

The weathering over the star decal looks brilliant! 

Cheers

Well this is what a 40k car looks like





Posh ones at least. I like to think the proles drive STC cars that look like a squared off 2CV made out of corrugated metal like a JU52.

Something almost exactly like this pre-war 2CV prototype in fact:-

Those cars actually look pretty cool, especially for something GW

 Who makes those cars Dezmond?

 Great painting on the car Demi.
