Catch-up-alanche! Necromunda Shrooms?

Well the Underhive is bleak and full of danger, so a little colourful fungus cant hurt surely?

Maybe not...

Catch-up-alanche! Speed painting with contrast

Just a little video for anyone not sure of whether Contrasts are worth it. I have a friend called...Bames, who is wary of painting. Contrasts are great paints, and will easily help anyone get through their stack of scary looking models at speeeeeeeed.

Catch-up-alanche! Necromunda Water guild + Scum + Gryph-hound Phyrr Cat

Spent some time bashing some underhive denizens together to help pad out my crew.

These were using up of leftovers (and one very intentional sculpt for the Nautician) and were a nice break between some painting.  

Catch-up-alanche! Multicolour Necromunda boards

So these were something I spotted online and realised I needed to try it, and found the process so simple I had to commit. You're best doing with the GW plastic tiles to represent the same process but anything works!

Catch-up-alanche! Necromunda bulk scenery painting method

Again, no apologies for the title, catch-ups are hard. 

So, had a load of Necromunda scenery to paint, so out comes the batch painting assembly line! Apart from needing a decent space to get this done, you can give it a good enough look. 

Catch-up-alanche! Daemons

(Yes, I frankensteined the phrase together). As I have been fairly lax in updating this, its time to speed through what I've been up to. So expect a few of these ! First up, pink butts.

Started on a 30k Daemons army! Gotta love some of those models and if 40k comes back to a good place it will serve me well. 

Necromunda Ambot Cargo-lugger, Contrast 30k Word Bearers, Mortalis games (Weekly Progress)

So this lovely beauty is due to trek through the underhive, bringing supplies to where it is most needed!

 
I love the hodepodge nature of Necromunda, which again is something you don't get in the very ordered 40 and 30k battlefields.

Necromunda Underhive (Squat) Venator Gang: Felgryms Company

 This is my newest gang to try out in Necromunda, my Squat Venator gang; Felgryms Company.

The general basis of the paint scheme was this photo I found online, which I really loved the look of, as it was completely different from the majority of my much warmer coloured gangs. I learned a lot painting my Escher so wanted to try out the metallic look elsewhere.

Necromunda Chaos Cult Disciple / Venator

Posted without context, just painted and liked him :)

Happy Friday!

Necromunda configurable boards Picdump - Part 2!

The terrain is the third army on the table, tis true. See below some setups + inspiration for anyone with at least 45 minutes before the game starts! Main thing I drew from this was that I need some big blocks of COLOUR!

Necromunda custom wargear list

Without having to convert your existing ones as well! As always, extra bullsh*t is always good, add depth and complexity to each game system you enjoy. Custom weapons in Necromunda Underhive is no exception.

This is my guns'n'ammo roster, would love feedback. If you want me to share them with you, add me as a friend in Yaktribe and you can use them too!

Necromunda house rules and handy Campaign tips

I’m loving the Campaign’s in Necromunda, so much so I have 4 going all at once. My most-frequently played one we’ve comfortably played around 20+ games, and still haven’t played all the scenarios yet (The rescue + the Hit).

I’ve found loads of stuff to try in Necromunda that seem to even out the playing field a bit and help speed things along.

Magnetised Goliath Gang

20 strongmen of fun!

So these boys were a much-needed enhancement to my Goliath gangs, in one campaign I’ve been flooded with a  bunch of Juves while my main gangs dies, in the other campaign I’m pushing 3600+ cred value, and have a hard time spending all that cash...so I bought more

Battle Bunnies Custodes fight, 3d printed Necromunda Lift, Ambots!

Have been loving the attention given to 30k at the weekender, and celebrated by playing my first game against a Custodes army with Darien from the Battle Bunnies. 

Necromunda Underhive Gaming aids/Tools

In getting into Necromunda Underhive, I have found a number of great gaming aids which helped me massively, Yaktribe, Battlescribe, and Rollz.

Yaktribe - This is more than a website, first and foremost for Necromunda fans it’s a free list builder, but more importantly it’s a Campaign manager.

SumpKroc, many Necromunda games played, Escher take to the field, Armigers are good in Heresy!

He’s green and mean and looks far too clean…Its Krocka my Goliath Sump Kroc! I’ve currently got 2 Goliath gangs running in 2 separate campaigns, and only just managed to afford this charmer in one.

Painting this guy was fairly easy, and I didn’t nearly apply as much attention as I should have (plus the camera washes everything out)

Weekly Progress: Necromunda Chaos Spawn, Magnetised Goliaths, Cult bodies and a minor Heresy drop

Whew, long title, long few weeks. Have been getting heavy into Necromunda Underhive, and in the last three weeks have probably played 6-8 games, so I needed to jump but back in the painting seat to get stuff closed off. First up, this little pet.

My Cult call him their Son, Pelo Petay, and he's a keeper.

Salt Weathering gone wrong

Eeesh, this doesn't look good...

My little 'Bug' Arvus Lighter conversion got a little bit wrecked today...

Weekly Progress; Necromunda Convoy Scenario, Downtown dust-up setup and figure prep

So, this weeks focus has been shared a bit more evenly between my game systems, but primarily on Necromunda. This week, we tried the Convoy scenario....

Setup for this was the most fun. Making that ambush alleyway through the Underhive was genuinely one of the most fun things I've done

A third Horus Heresy force

Heresy lives, and thrives in fact. Bring in the Word Bearers...

So, while Necromunda is finally giving me that campaign progression that I've always wanted within 40k, I can honestly say that Heresy still is one of my favourite settings.

Yes, the lack of content may worry some, but in reality we knew the focus would shift.
