First attempt at green stuff

I did my first stab at green stuff work, its a little rough but a good start I hope.

This guy got a sling harness for his sword so its not just floating on his back!

There is an attempt at a buckle on the back there, I'm hoping it will show up better once painted.

I gave this girl a flowing tabard to cover her crouch which had some really bad gaps between the legs and torso.

Let me know what you think, and any tips you could give me would be greatly appreciated!

Writing a narrative Necromunda campaign

My gaming group is playing Battlefleet Gothic at the moment which is giving me time to think about how I want the next Necromunda campaign to go.

I have been writing a Narrative campaign for this one, with special event games and rewards as well.
There will also be negative things going on throughout that will hamper all the gangs.

I don't want to go into too much detail right now as I want to discuss all this with the group first before anything is confirmed.

I was going to use some of the models I have been working on as my new gang, but I like my Delaques too much. That and I just sunk a little more money into them, but more about that later.

The other thing I wanted to get the nets opinion on was my old Delaque gang...
I feel they are looking a bit tired these days and wondered which would be a better idea.
Strip and repaint or just touch them up a bit?

Please let me know what you would do.

Also what do you think on the subject on basing? This is how they are currently based.


And this is how I was thinking of basing them, it would need a bit of work as I would need to make and pin every gang member but it might be worth it...



These are my latest arrivals to the gang! I picked up some more of Heresy's Trenchcoat gangers.
I can't say enough good things about this company, very quick to send them and the sculpts are great!



 Please let me know your opinions.

More work on my new gang

I have been doing some more work on my future Necromunda gang, not sure what house I will use them as though.


This model was holding a odd look sci-fi rifle which I carefully removed. It was brittle plastic, but the end result is nice.

I used the sci-fi greatcoat trooper bodies with some GW parts to make the next couple of guys




A group shot of the gang so far, I might make some changes or add some more guys.


This is my old Scavvy gang I will likely have to repaint them. I never got around to finishing them when I was playing them and then ware and tear chipped them up.

My Delaque gang end of campaign summary

It's been a busy couple of weeks for me, but one of the things that happened was my gaming groups Necromunda campaign finished! We did a big game for a finish, with two huge pitslave gangs holding out against all the other gangs. (I will post about it in better detail later)

But here is a summary of how my Delaque gang are at the campaigns end. I did stop using them for the last month or so to try out a Wyrd gang, so they would have been slightly tougher but eh...

Too much talk! More pictures!

My leader Bulleye
He started with a grenade launcher with frag and krak, but when my friends Ogryn got toughness 6 I bought him a meltagun. When he capped at 401 exp I put the launcher back on him but with Hallucinogen grenades, I figured as he couldn't get exp they would serve the gang better with him.
 WS6 BS6 S4 T4 W1 I5 A1 LD9                 Skills: Iron will, Haggler, Venerable, Strategist


These are my Heavies Tapper and Jayne they both did pretty well I was happy with them over all. Tapper had a heavy bolter not the stubber the model has (I'm not cutting up an old mini!) and Jayne had a Plasmagun 
Tapper: WS3 BS5 S3 T4 W1 I3 A3 LD6 Shellshock    Skills: Weaponsmith, Inventor, Medic, Armourer, Perforator
Jayne: WS3 BS3 S3 T3 W1 I4 A1 LD7 Arm wound(L)  Skills: Automaton, Perforator, Protection mastery, Independence mastery, Control mastery, Armourer  He had a Cretin as a pet.

Gangers Pockit, Riley and Hicks
Pockit and Hicks are both just very average, Riley on the other hand was one of my best!
He got hipshooting then got good BS, later he picked Specailst and the game after that Sprint! I gave him the meltagun and he had a 24" threat range!
 Pockit: WS4 BS3 S3 T3 W1 I3 A1 LD7 Part blind(L)  Skills: Marksman, Rapidfire, Gunfighter, Dodge
Riley: WS5 BS6 S3 T3 W1 I5 A1 LD7  Skills: Hipshooting, Sprint, Specialist
Hicks: WS3 BS3 S4 T4 W1 I3 A1 LD8 Legwound Skills: Marksman, Rapidfire, Friendly ear, Sneakup

Gangers Rich, Iago and Gary again average guys without much going for them, except Iago who got infiltrate and LD9 very early (he started as a juve) So I gave him a gundrone when I rolled one up. 
 Rich: WS2 BS4 S4 T4 W3 I4 A1 LD7
Iago: WS3 BS5 S3 T3 W1 I4 A1 LD9 Impressive scars Skills: Infiltrate, Catfall, Control mastery
Gary: WS3 BS4 S4 T3 W1 I3 A1 LD7 Arm wound(R) Wryd minor power: Zen shootist(Obtained via a card event)

Gangers Gin, Barry and Karl more average joes...
 Gin: WS5 BS3 S3 T3 W1 I4 A1 LD6 Horrible scars Skills: Sprint, escape artist
Barry: WS2 BS4 S3 T3 W1 I4 A1 LD6 Arm wound(L) Hates some ganger.. Skills: Infiltrate
Karl: WS2 BS3 S3 T3 W1 I3 A1 LD6 Skills: Infiltrate, Rapidfire, Sprint

So thats pretty much my gang, if this format is any good and you would like to see reviews on the other gangs in the campaign let me know with a comment!

Necromunda boards and a 40k battle

I got a new phone and when I did I dumped all the content from my old phone onto my laptop. Looking through it I figured I would share some of the pictures I have taken but not got anything written for.
So here are some pictures for your viewing

An example of a Necromunda game, I believe this may have been a multi player game, not too sure now...




These pictures are from a game I had with a guy from my local gaming club, the game got called short which was a shame. We will have a rematch at some point and I will do a proper batrep.









This was a game I played against my friend Simon, this game was horrible 6 monstrous creatures 5 of which where toughness 7-9 for the whole game! There was nothing I could do about them!


There was one good thing about this game though, the unit of grots I had guarding the home objective shot and grounded a flying hive tyrant twice! And allowed other units to wear it down. 

When I came to multi charge it with a unit of boyz,  2 deffkopters I figured hey why not chuck the grots in too? The runtherds grabber stick will reduce its attacks by one.

The hive tyrant was at one wound I should add. I then figured Lets see if the runtherd can do anything!
Rolled to hit - I hit
Rolled to wound - I got a 6!
He rolled his save - failed
He rolled feel no pain - failed!

The runtherd killed a flying hive tyrant!!!
I will now remodel this guy to have a HT head on him in some way!

Super Dungeon Explore!!!

The other day I got to play Super Dungeon Explore! My friend Simon owns it and he painted them, so far only the heroes and a couple of bad guys are painted. But he has done a really good job on these guys they look really cool.


My overall experience of this game was that is really good fun! I look forward to playing it again with the expansion he is getting.



One thing I would note it the Paladin is a crutch... trying to play it without him is almost impossible!



Overall a really fun game that looks really cool at the same time.

How we play Necromunda 3: Overwatch with flamers

This came up in a game a couple of weeks ago, and it isn't discussed in the rules so we made a decision between our group and this is how we ruled it.


The Delaque ganger is charging the Scummer who is on overwatch.
Normally this would be -2 to hit, -1 for firing on overwatch and another -1 for the target charging.

But the scummer is using a hand flamer that would auto hit, so would it automatically stop a charge?



We figured that this would be very overpowered and decided that you can overwatch with flamers, but in most cases this will only ever hit one model.
But if you fail to wound the model is not pinned as it normally would be if hit by any other shot. The assaulting model runs through the flames unscathed and gets into combat. Although if the model catches on fire it also doesn't get into combat.

Thats how we play it! Do you have any thoughts on it? I know its not something that would come up a great deal but I figured I would share it anyway.
