Really good models; I like the use of Empire parts in your guard/ necro dudes.
Grey is a good colour choice to cover both systems. So these are mercenary bounty hunter/ scum types? What actual gang clan do you play?

Try pointing a desk lamp at the models when you take pictures.

got omam done (12 out of 12!) by basing up a load of guardsmen, as the guardsmen were already done i thought i would get some terrain done a the same time so i didnt feel like i was cheating bases  bases plus guard  terrain  the terrain was very easy and cheap to do, get an old cd, chuck a load of filler at it, wedge in some pieces of slate, let it dry, seal it with pva, add sand, seal it with pva then paint, now these test pieces are done am hoping to get a few more done ready for a desert table at some point |

cheers, vets are on the back burner until i get hold of a few more fw shotguns, got some bethesdans nearly ready for paint at some point was just going to get an arbites done for omam this month after going 12 for 12 last year. that was the plan anyway, yaktribes current competition is for examples of law and order which the arbites would have fitted in to. would have been so simple....... in the list of eligible items arbites just happened to have the word vehicle next to it and so i dug out my chapter house kit for a wheeled chimera thinking it would be a little homage to mike mcveys old riot truck. the pics below show that the chapter house kit doesnt fit the new chimera hull if it ever fit the old one who knows but as you can see with the kits side hull pieces lined up with the back of the chimera you get a serious over lap of over 10mm in some places  after some swearing i just glued the sides on and when that was dry i shaved and filed the side pieces down to the correct size then had to redo a lot of rivets due to the big shaved areas and fill in gaps with green stuff    currently waiting on some hatch fillers from zinge industries then spraying can commence. rules wise am magnetising this so if i ever get the bitz then it can represent both a chimera and a taurox depending on my mood just in case it takes too long to finish the tank i got an arbites sprayed  any ideas on policifying the chimera? |

gong to wimp out on policifying the wheeled chimera, i want to use it in my guard army as well so dont want to go too far on it. too much procrastinating on this led to me having to drop it for januarys omam and so i have started (nearly finished actually) on the enforcer i had sprayed in case the chimera didnt happen.  was in a rush so the wash is still wet, one more wash to go then basing |

started on an arch magos type bloke, this guy is going to be an npc for inq28, a counts as pitfighter gang leader, an hq from the 30k mechanicum list and probably just a tech priest for 40k. what i am after on this guy is advice on the servo arms, 3 sections or 4? have included a pic of where his axe will roughly be, does 3 sections look too short to come around the axe? does 4 look too gangly?    while i was fiddling around with the zinge servo arms i noticed some funky little weapons that came with it and as has been suggested i had a quick go at a concept for a webber for my arbites (going to magnetise both specialists so dont worry anybody who suggested something else) my i phone wouldnt focus on the details of the spouts but if you own the zinge arms then you know what they look like, if you dont own them then why not? they are great, anyway..    also a size comparison with the scout shotgun  any suggestions on something better or bits to add/trim? on ammobunkers inq28 section it was suggested that we all try to make a model based on a film character but 40ked up a bit by the end of march, well, i had the bits rough test fit so far, would have got more done but sliced my index finger with a silly slip so no more modelling today    hoping to incorporate this almost sort of in a dark room at twenty paces bane look alike into by bethesdans/delaque gang |

Arbites heads are from the great sword kit, yep, they are pretty cool heads, they were the main inspiration behind the kitbash

real life has been a bit hectic so not a lot done on bane, managed to get the strap added to his head but my phone wont focus on his head at the moment so no pic yet. also added the sheep skin effect to his coat  as bane wasnt progressing very fast i built and sprayed a new bethesdan with a grenade launcher for omam. his pointing hand is magnetised for pistols etc dependent on how he gets on in necromunda campaigns  have lost my list of paints that i used on the first batch so there might be some difference between them and any future batches, its a toss up between balor brown and zamesi desert for final highlights on the jackets, shouldnt look too different if i choose the wrong one though? |

Coming along nicely. Looking great!
Again the Arbites are really well done.

Nice looking conversions mate.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you paint up your carapace vets and grunts mate?

cheers- paint scheme was really easy, due to time contraints i had to settle for something quick, going for a starship troopers look, dawnstone followed by administratum grey highlights on the cloth, black highlighted with eshin grey, pick out any details in appropriate colours then wash with nuln oil done. the vets also got a quick spongeing of metal on any armoured surfaces before wash. hope that helps Omam done  also got a bit more work done on bane  in addition to being marchs omam he is going into the film character creation thread in the inq28 section and also the hq choice in the bolter and chainsword blood and glory challenge, got a lot of internet pride riding on finishing him by the end of march while painting bane i will also be doing at least this bethesdan for the b&c one and all challenge due to them same being the same scheme  |

had a job interview this morning and so i took some time out in the garage to de-stress. instead of painting bane like a good boy, i started a kitbashing frenzy after that i got the call to say i got the job, which was nice most of these are based on previous ideas i had for 54mm inquisitors as you can see by the amount of blue tac these are very early wip, after some input, if any are crap i would like to know now before i invest any real time on them first thing i did was chop up some forgeworld stuff    This guy needs some input on the stake, should i trim the top curved spikes off? am also considering magnetising the weapons to be swappable with two desert eagle style stub pistols with the head from lok i quickly boshed this guy out,   obviously the bottom of the coat needs attaching to the top with green stuff. what i am after here is should i go with the empty hand(will get a psychic warp fireball added) or twin swords? this guy will be getting a magnetised backpack fuel tank with pipes connecting to the skull mace which will have flames sculpted on, magnetisation is so he can double as a magister for mordheim with the flames being magic rather than techno based   am not sure the legs work? i see him running forward chanting from the book but does that come accross or does he just look like he is falling over? lady flamberge here is going to be a house agent for an escher gang at some point but she will also be part of somebodys retinue as a noble woman who's family was disgraced and shipped off to be executed in the pitfights, against all odds she survived and made a name for herself as a gladiator.   does this pose work or does she need more movement? what's cooler than a dbsosg? two dbsosg's this guy's name is Hannikel, he was supposed to be based on the 54mm slick devlan model but i couldnt find the right hooded head head. a joint order with masterbuilder sorted that and with a bit of scraping here he is.   need to finish off the greenstuffing but the general pose is done, does it look ok?   how about the knife one? when i said i didnt do any work on bane it was sort of true,no work was done on movie bane. Comic bane however.....   size comparison with movie bane  i know hes a bit crazy big but am thinking hes the bastard son of the lord of house goliath for necromunda where he has undergone some extreme gene enhancement, inq28 he will be a warrior gifted by khorne with daemonic strength, he might be strakken in a traitor guard list if i ever get that far and finally a quick test for an escher ganger/slaaneshi cultist,   too dark eldary? cheers for any feedback |

some interesting ideas there, I look forward to seeing them complete. Slick looks better with the guns in my opinion. flamberge I would rotate the torso a little so that she isn't standing square on and flat

cheers for comments, will try to take them onboard bane is done!  yep, thats a bat wing hes standing on (or a tyranid gargoyle wing dependent on which universe you happen to inhabit) I think i could have gotten a lot closer to the concept pic both modelling and paint scheme wise if i wasnt planning on having him "fit" into my bethesdan guard army but its close enough that my wife said "where did you get the bane model from?" so am happy added some hazard striping to the swords power wire, almost compulsory when he is involved in a game of necromunda  pic of base (magnetised)  ambience327 suggested a dead bat on his base as a joke but i thought what the hell as part of the B&C's blood and glory challenge i also got this regular trooper done  comparison with bane to show hes a pretty big fella  cheers for looking? |

got 3 more bethesdans done for april omam, the pics were even darker than normal so i had to fiddle with the contrast, sorry for the bright white background although he's a guardsman and is dead if he gets assaulted by anything other than tau i modelled this guy with a sledge hammer because rule of cool  with a heavy stubber/payback and a grenade launcher as the only effective weapons for my bethesdans so far, i have built some heavies. this missile launcher looked great until i messed up when drilling the holes   something a bit more reliable at taking out armour     and a group shot  |
