Progress of a sort

So its nearly Christmas, and I have been working away at making the gangs from necromunda in to plastic versions. With the help from my gaming group I have managed to to complete my.......

Goliaths, who just need some green stuff work done to them.

Redemptionists, who also need some green stuff work.

Cawdor, are just beginning after the post office losing my parcel at the sorting office.

Delaque, are at the planning stage.

Escher, are on a back burner for the moment.

Orlocks, are on hold as i need to pick up the rest of my jungle fighters.

As a side note i have remade all the card terrain from the boxed set and outlanders, as well as some pipe work.

With the holidays fast approaching i will have some more time to work on the rest of this project.

photos will follow when i get my camera to work...............

Goliath`s,escher`s and some terrain

Well I've been busy working on my plastic conversions of the six basic gangs and have completed 10 goliath`s,
1 leader, 1 heavy, 5 ganger`s and 3 juve's. All off them are based on the chaos marauders and catachan kits, I have gone for the techno barbarian look from mad max rather than the muscle beach look that Gw used for their range. their are just some minor details that are needed like some green stuff filling and pouches and holsters.

Next up is a escher gang leader made from a dark eldar wych and some cadian weapons. The rest of the gang are in need of some more legs at the moment as most of the wych legs are in jumping/running poses. but work continues.
Next on my list are some cawdor and delaque gangers ..............
Last and by no means least is my need for some terrain. Now I have some cities of death buildings, which at a push will do but i want to use the old card board terrain but.............
the years have not been kind to them, they have taken quite a beating. As I have tons of plastic card, I'm working on some newer versions of them.

pictures will follow when i can get my laptop to install the soft where for my camera..................

The N.P.A.G.S.P what`s that then?

well it all started 3 days ago..........
we were discussing the chances of starting up a necromunda campaign (prompted by the large stack of necromunda books and magazines sitting under my coffee table)

it started well but started to flag and lose steam, i pushed forward and asked some questions.

in the end I got some answers from the guys and was not surprised buy the results.
The models look dated, they look boring, they are to expensive, Christmas is coming.
taking in all these things i sat back and worked a few things out.

the next thing that came from my mouth was N.P.A.G.S.P. this promoted the main question of " what`s that" well  its the following Necromunda. Plastic. And. Green. Stuff. Project. in a nut shell lets make the gangs from the now large range of plastic models that GW make. now i have large amounts of plastic human models floating around from different projects and so do others in my group.
next up i was put with put your "plastic where your mouth is" so i`ve sorted out some bitz and am going to start on some Goliaths or escher models lets see what happerens....................

what brings you down here then punk

I`ve been reading my necromunda rule books again, just to refresh my mind on the rules and back ground. And i have been thinking about what drew me into the underhive all those years ago..........


First off is the background to the game. The whole setting has so much character from the bottom of the sump to the highest point of spire. I was drawn into the whole setting and could see my gang battling its way through the underhive.


Next up is the way the gang develops from game to game, i grew attached to the members of my gang each one had its own name and personality. and the passing of a gang member is quite a sad moment.


Next up is the amount of different gangs for you to choose, from the basic 6 and the 3 outlander gangs and the rest that have been published in magazines and on the net their are tons to choose from


Last but by no means least are the alternative settings for the game, The ash wastes, gorkamorka, and commorragh city of the dammed.


well thats enough rambling for now....................

Welcome to the sump punk

It all started back in 1995 in my dusty shed............... 


I came home to find a large white box sitting waiting for me. Inside was the 1st edition of necromunda, as well as two boxed gangs the Orlocks and the Goliath. I read the rules clipped the plastic miniatures from their sprue's and i was battling away in the underhive.


over the next four months the remaining gangs were released and articals were published in white dwarf. My Goliath gang was going from strength to strength carving their way through the underhive. Then outlanders gets released my Goliaths were retired and the redemptionists took to the field.
Between me and my friends we managed to run a champaign for just over a year, new gangs appeared in the citadel journal and these made their way into our section of the underhive.


Fast forward to 2005 and i dust off my collection for another bash at the underhive, this time the results are less than good our campaign lasts for three months and ends with no overall winner.


Fast forward again to 2011 and I`m going to give it another shot.....................


so pick up your stub gun and grab you trusty knife and join me in the underhive................
