Necromunda - Cyber-Mastiffs

Hello Readers, thanks for dropping by. A little palette cleanser, a pair of Cyber-Mastiffs from the Necromunda 'Orlock Arms Masters and Wreckers' box. I was fortunate enough to receive it as a gift because the Good Boy's look like a little like Dachshunds... well 40K Cyber-Dachshunds!

The browns were a glaze of Rhinox Hide over Black, highlighted with Rhinox Hide, Doombull Brown, Calthan (Mournfang) Brown and Balor Brown.

Meet Kholin and Tryvor

I will use them merely as familiars for my Lord Relictor, Chapter Master of the Relictors Chapter Space Marines, no in game use, just a fun little project.

Cheers, Siph (2pts)

Raging Heroes - Alternative Sisters of Battle part 2 (Picture Heavy)

Hi All,

To follow up on my last post about my potential Sisters of Battle/Inquisitor/Necromunda force using models from Raging Heroes. Below are pictures of the models as requested. I will be starting the build of these in the new year.

The casts are really nice, and the detail is crisp. These models are 'mono pose' however the poses look individual.

The 'characters' have a load of details.

My only question looking at the models is how would I justify a 3+ armour save, when they aren't wearing any!?

Necromunda Underhive Arrived!

Hi All, just a quick one to show what I'll be up to this weekend! Christmas or rather Birthday has come early in the Siph Horridus Hive... YEAH! Been waiting years for the relaunch of Necromunda, very excited to get a few gangs made and maybe rope in some unsuspecting persons to give it a try!?

First thing I saw was the very welcome return of Templates, 8th may be great and all, but these have been 40K staples along since I started, almost. I have the cardboard colour ones from 2nd still. Great stuff. And mmmm, the smell of fresh boxed sprues... love it!

Under the sprues, a handy card how-to guide for the two gangs included.

The terrain... not much but good for the basics of the game before I buy the supplement to use the original card buildings once more! Seen here: Getting Ready for Necromunda

Mmmm fresh tasty sprues... better pictures on GW pages and WintersSEO You Tube, check his unboxing out!

Hefty rulebook, special dice, lovely detailed bases to match the game board. Counters on punch card and plenty of game tiles and cards.

Wedge of game tiles, ruler and some baggies for the gang cards and stratagem cards.

Nine reversible game tiles. Makes a 3x3ft board.

Best bit here, blank ganger cards for all my other gangs!

Cool beans, thanks for drooling along with me and happy ganging! Siph. Well Chuffed.

Getting Ready for the return of Necromunda

A little time ago GW announced that Necromunda was returning, showcasing new minis for familiar (to us Longbeards) return of Clan Escher, Clan Goliath and the announcement that rules will allow for vertical expansion like the original - the new board looks like Zone Mortalis low level underhive stuff but single level like a board game.

So I rooted through the games room and got out what I already have, a full set of Necromunda terrain and an Imperial Firebase kit which blends nicely with the hive kits - it could easily be an Adeptus Arbites Precinct.

I sprayed the bulkheads Leadbelcher and Chaos Black for simple shadowing, and sprayed the few carboard cutouts I had made in the past, to add to the number of buildings and possibilities.

I also had made a ramp to the upper levels including polystyrene grip surface so models do not slip on it - I was a creative sort, lol.

So, I've posted these before, but I have a great selection of gangs to use. My housemates of 20yrs ago played Necromunda with me so I have Big Stu's Van Saar Gang.

My mate Allandt's Delaques. This is the first gang I think I will paint up with modern scheme and basing - as modern as 'matrix' style long black coats can be :) I like the pale flesh, these could easily be Genestealer Infested Cult Members!

Not sure if the new rule set and fluff will include these Noble House Spyrers and a Gunslinger.

The original game came with the House Goliath gang which was my gang, I still have the gang roster sheets too.  I hope the new rule sets allow Gang development with flesh wounds and upgrades etc.

And finally Jay's House Orlock Gang. Love the converted Adeptus Titanicus Gatling Blaster as a Heavy Weapon! I do remember converting that using a spare RTB01 Bolter magazine and some gubbins.

Necromunda Gang - House Escher

Hi All,

I've seen the news that Necromunda is due to return, so I thought I'd better get my old Escher gang out from the vast WIP pile, and hopefully have them ready for the launch!

I've got a few other 'members' from 3rd party sources which I plan to build into the force to have options for load outs. The unit includes the original Escher Gang Leader (1 I think..) 3 gangers and 2 Juves, as well as a heavy stubber ganger.

I've also got the model for 'Mad' Donna (If I remember rightly..) who will be added to the group. I've then got a few Kabuki and Maulfaux models that I plan to add to the unit. I think for the scheme I'm going to have to go for bright and colourful.. its escher after all!

Thanks for Looking! LH

Orlock Necromunda Gang

Here's a bit of a random throwback - my old Orlock Necromunda gang. And when I say old - I mean it...I started playing Necromunda when it was initially released back around '95 (jeez...almost 20 years ago...) and had the plastic Orlacks that came in the boxed set - which I added to over time with the metal minis.

I remember these minis coming to uni with me around 2000, but then lost them in many student house moves, until an old friend mentioned that he had them a few months ago.

I was trying to get the gang into shape for an upcoming Necromunda campaign at my LFGS, but failed miserably, so didn't get around to entering. Annoyingly though, because of the timescales, I decided to only paint them to a basic tabletop level - but it turns out that I didn't use them anyway, so I could have probably spent more time on them...

The Gang Leader (aka Beric)

The gang is loosely based on the Brotherhood without Banners from Game of Thrones; a gang of outlaws who protect the smallfolk of the hive. Obviously in Necromunda they wouldn't be knights though - so I painted them up as a biker gang. To give them more of a theme, I painted flames (because of the link to the Red Priest) onto their leathers.

And the Brotherhood isn't complete without The Red Priest himself; Thoros.

 A Wyrd (aka The Red Priest; Thoros)

 

One of the Heavies (aka Anguy)

I made all the bases myself, from random bits and card, to try and give it more of an urban look, although again, I'm annoyed I didn't spend a bit more time fleshing them out with a bit more rubble/debris.

The Gangers

Anyway - hope you like and I hope I one day get round to having a game with them.

The Juves
