Been a little while since we had a Necromunda post as I've been busy balancing half a dozen projects that all want some Chico patterned brand lovin'.
The last week I've been ill with a nasty flu/chest infection which also hit me on the same day as my Wedding Anniversary meaning that was a wash out too Gah!
Anyway yesterday to get myself back into painting I've painted a nice Confronation Leader sent to me from Mr Casey as gift :)
Painted up as a Slaver and Gang Boss for my Scavvy Gang
So it's been a few days since the last post and that wasn't by choice, it was more down to fact what I had painted in the last few days I really wasn't happy with and ended up getting binned as a idea.
It's ok though I did get a few bits I'm happy with and in the next day or so should have another Battle Report up.
A renowned Pit Fighter in Necromunda's Underhive, who had had both of his arms removed and replaced with Chainswords, Bull Gorg would lead the largest slave revolt the Hive had ever seen.

So as I have pretty much given up massed wargaming (40K, WhFB and such like) and gone pretty much to skirmish gaming for my fix I've been allowing myself a few added extras in this case Resin bases, as I'm only needed a handful of figures rather then a armies worth it's affordable (£2.50 for 10, gets cheaper the more you order as you get discounts) and makes them 100 times better in my eyes.
The Pit Slaves have not been forgotten and work continues on the ever growing gang, i just can't stop adding figures from the lead pile. While it's nice to get the leadpile smaller I should be finishing other projects first heh.
Necromunda is full blown go at Castle Chico with terrain and gangs being painted/prepped/glued and chopped. Looking like I'll have a full Necromunda table done within months at this rate.
Anyway while I'm waiting for a supply drop to continue the terrain prep I got a few more Pit Slaves converted and painted.
It's been quite awhile since I done anything Necromunda (A year or more) so it's about time I made a start on a gang I've always wanted since I first saw them in the Andy Chambers White Dwarf article way back when.
After a few (Read many) trades on the OTC I have 10 of the little buggers (9 pictured, 10th still to arrive).
Well ok.... maybe not, I still have an order from Daemonscape yet to arrive containing ruins/rubble, more Orky shacks and a couple of large Warehouses. But I'm not sure if they will even get here before BOYL let along painted in time for my Epic games (I'm both running a few on the Saturday and playing in a large one on the Sunday)
Quite happy with how they turned out and I'm glad I based them on plastic sheeting for ease of use even if it was annoying and I ended up getting sand everywhere (Including on the Cat)
My Ork settlement, I will add to it (In fact that's the order I'm waiting for) a fecking bugger to paint as it's all fiddly bits and odds and sods.
So as the grind to get everything done for BOYL14 continues, I've made some more progress on my Epic scenery. To help make painting the buildings alittle more interesting I've been adding little details (Ork Trak chasing a SM bike, a Orka-Cola Truck)
Been awhile since an Epic Blog post, but have no fear today's one is a bumper one. A few of these pictures have been posted elsewhere but you can enjoy them again anyway :)
So me and my Wife are looking to move in the coming months and I've been promised I an have a gaming table! (Much bribes were used in this process).
It's part of the reason my basing have become more uniform so they'll match my table :)
Anyway with the Oldhammer Weekend coming up and I have a few Epic games planned so to kill 2 Frenchies (Looking at you Mr Ass ;) ) with 1 stone I'm making/buying some 6mm terrain pieces.
