Necromunda – the full set – Spring clean

I’ve now completed all the scenary. I have not posted in a while as I have not been taking pictures. But with all the scenary done I can get on with doing the last 6 or so Corpse Grinder Cult figures.

Here is a youtube video of my completed scenary with the Enforcers on display.

Here is my first corpse grinder. This is a total test of new techniques. A lot to improve on but its a start.

Next batch of scenary is progressing and I should have some finished bits soon.

I spent a little time adding some magnets to the control columns and shrines, so they can be moved about and also so they don’t snap off over time. More on this later.

I have completed all the enforcers, which puts me on schedule for doing all the gangs I want to paint before the end of June.

I have been working all week on my subjugators, not exclusivly but that is because of another project I have started for Necromunda.

I have now completed another 4, leaving just the Captain to go.  I will be assemlbing the Corpse grinders over the weekend. I was going to do the Escher gang I have, but decided they can go last.

I have spent the last few days working on my Subjugators. I have now completed the bodies. I am going to start on the arms and heads the next few days. Photos will come along then.

I have also painted one of the largest peices I had to do. This took a long time. Detailing the metalics took me around 4 hours yesterday. But its all done along with a dozen platform pieces.

I am startng to run out of wash but hopefully I can find somewhere that has it before I run out totally.

I have started to repaint the Armaggedon scenary that I have icnluded int he project. I did not bother with a stripping down, as this seemed like a waste of time and effert. Instead I went straight  to a base coat over the old paint. This took quite some time to complete. Along with 6 of the block walls this took me 3 days of painting along side doing the Subjugators. In fact my subjugators took a back seat, but I will work more on them the next few days.

Here are multiple pictures of the now completed walkway.

Here are a few pcitures of the six blocks.

I have been plugging away with the pin wash and hightlighting of the subjugators. Nothing exciting to post picture wise. I hope to have them all completed this week.

The brown I have used for the base coat of the scenary has worked out fine, so I am doing that along side the gang, as actual painting time is small. Here is a set of plasma conduits. They were fun to paint, so I will be getting more.

The completion of the subjugator took a bit longer than I expected but I’m happy with him. I just need to do the transfers and base.

I also located an alternate base brown so I have started work on the plasma pipe scenery.

Not complete, but a Paladin subjugator almost done. Just arms and shield to go. I hope to get a couple more completed tomorrow as well.

It has been a bit slower painting right now for me. They have furloed my entire team except me, so I’m working on my own. There is a bit too much work to allow a lot of painting during the day. Anyway I have finished another lot of terrain. I’m about a third of the way they through the sets I think. No more terrain till I get more paint, so its on with the Enforcers and starting the next gang after that.

After looking online for various methods of weathering I have found a great way to do this. I am using mainly AK Interactive weathering products to do this, and they are proving to be great value for the amount of items I have been painting. I hope this is helpful to people but please bear in mind I have only being using this technique for a couple of weeks, so you the way I use this will almost certainly improve over time.

After the first wash is dry, I  complete the model by add sparing amounts of the rust wash. Once this is dry I will add a final layer of matt varnish. Overall the mthod if fast, but allowing the model to dry fully between each stage means it took me 2 days to complete this piece.

A lot of my posts from my mobile have not been posted, so here is a catch up of what I have been doing the last few days.

I have completed the first 5 man squad. I have also completed all 10 what I think are objective markers from both box sets. There are 18 barricades which I have completed in the same weathered manner I am doing all the terrain.

Finally I have also completed one of the older pieces of terrain, and I will post a description of the steps and paints I used to complete it. The only issue I have now is that I have run out of the brown base paint and also ironbreaker. I am ordering some more but until it arrrives I have only got a few pieces of terrain I can do.

Until these arrive I will be going to the next batch of Enforcers.

I’ve completed 4 more bodies. Now on with the heads and arms.

I will be completing the first 5 Enforcers I think before my weathering paints arrive. Then its on to scenary.

I’ve started on the enforcers first. Here is the first test model for the scheme I’ll be using. It’s painted mainly with contrast and highlights. I recall like the yellow contrast!

I have 2 sets of Necromunda and I have not completed the scenary from the first one, let alone the second one. I also have not really touched the gangs. Now is the ideal time to resolve this backlog.
