About the Project
Necromunda, as a repurposed gift for one of my nephews. I managed to pick up the initial box set from GW that had been hanging around for some time on a shelf at one of a few FLGS still hanging on through the advent of The 'Rona. I decided that actually painting up something in the realm of grimdark 40k, other than kitbashing orks, might be interesting.

Solving the lack of grit from industry
Well this has sat for long enough. Time to do a bit of finishing on the bits and pieces to kick out for Giftmas. I’ll be wrapping this into my Space Station Zero as the terrain bit of the gift. Being without work and numerous projects to work on means a certain Mr. Noseblower is going into overdrive.
The first order of business is to finish out the ammo crates and then hit up the figures. I’ll just go at the Goliath gangers as they don’t really need much more than red and a whole lot of flesh details. The Escher will need more detail effort so a bit more time. So little time, so many minis to move.
Dusted with rust, dripping with filth
I got the painting for the walls and barricades done some time ago (coming off Orktober), perhaps a month or two if the Unofficial Weekender be looked at again, and I have thought to look back at this project. I realized I had indeed screwed up and forgot to add in the pictures for the progress. Here is what its come to be so far.
I’ve done the initial priming with Mr. Hobby Ueno Black which is a high gloss acrylic that is typically used in the arena of Gundam modellers. Going about thinning of this stuff with lacquer thinner, sometimes the proprietary thinner, is none too pleasant for the fumes. I’ll be glad for what I build slowly for my airbrush venting. Over all that I’ve put down a layer of VMC Oily Steel (865) and then dusted with various pigments from Secret Weapon and sealed with varnish.
Shiny!Thinking that this stuff looked a little too clean I hit it with Tamiya’s black panel wash and then AK Interactive effects (streaking grime and rain) to let the grittiness build in the environment. For the base box set I think its enough before I fully commit to a complete environment build that will be more involved.
The attached video is not for the faint of heart, power noise is intense and rapidly changing images might instigate seizures, but it hits the nail on the head for the spirit of the grimdark arena of gang battles within the Underhive of Necromunda.
