Molotov's INQ28

[Necris]

That choice was made a long time after the Necromunda "New Range" came out

As far as I'm aware they have stopped all specialist game development and are only producing the current range until the moulds die out...hmm wonder what will happen then

mind you some of the current casts are starting to look a little dodgy I recently bought an orlock gang and the mini details is much worse than the originals which I have sitting around.

[Molotov]

Well, this is quite the digression...

The new gangs are a bit of a mixed bag, really. Whilst some of the faces on the new Goliaths are a little questionable, I really like the models and they've served us well in our Necromunda campaigns. I've never been too thrilled by the Orlocks, especially since their visual style was changed so much. The limited modern Van Saar range that they brought out weren't bad, but they weren't fantastic.

If GW were ever to produce Necromunda gangs in plastic I think you'd see a lot of alternative Imperial Guard regiments springing up. Still, that's neither here nor there, I guess!

I posted some pictures of Titus Dio on the old Conclave, but I don't think he ever made it to this iteration of the forum. He's part of Inquisitor Hoth's retinue. Based off a Necromunda Enforcer model, here's the stage I'd gotten him to:




It progressed a bit further than this before I sent it off, but I forgot to take pictures. I sent it off, and Steve promptly took it apart and fiddled with the model a bit to get a bit more from the pose. Today he sent me the fruits of his labours:



There's obviously still some GSing to be done, but the new pose gives the model quite a cocksure attitude, I think.

[Myriad]

Awesome as ever.

he looks like he believes he has enough firepower to see off anyone and I'm inclined to believe him.

[Molotov]

Thanks, Myriad! I got the painted pics from Steve a few days ago, so here's Titus Dio; his cyber-mastiff is in the first post of this thread.

paint job finishes off the model very nicely

[Holiad]

Nice model, and good shading on the cloak. Gives me the impression he's deliberating over which gun to shoot someone with

[phil-o-mat]

i like his eyes. they make me think that he doesn`t need his guns to kill somebody, he could use them!!!

[precinctomega]

I notice the use of a simple Devlan Mud wash over Boltgun Metal for the metallics.  I heartily recommend this simple, effective technique for dull, worn metal to all hobbyists.

Actually, I prefer Gryphonnia Sepia, and use it for all my metals. It also works wonders for shading gold and yellow.

[Molotov]

Thanks for the comments, guys.

Holiad - a few guys have said that he seems to be deciding which gun to use. It's quite amusing really.

Phil -



Perhaps that explains a lot! In the grim darkness of the far future, harsh language carries the day!

[Myriad]

Now that's scary.

It seems clear to me that the answer to his dilemna is both of them.

I find Gryphone Sepia gives a nice shiny metal, especially if you then drybush with the original or a slightly lighter colour.  Devlan mud works better when, as here, you want a worn, less 'metallic' look.  The entire model has a good muddy look about it, indicative of getting the job done.

[Discy]

Spelt Gryphone Sepia wrong.
*facepalm*

Really good keep it coming

I like... all of it, basically...

But... should I take that high cost to imply something good about my Aneur, Sword of Twilight model?
