What always amazes me about your blogs isn't just the amazing converting and painting, but the fact that you always have like 2 or 3 projects going on, Migs.

that's probably more to do with an ADHD or similar attention disorder/hyper activity than amazing though

Guys, the =I=s pistol is a shaved boltpistol, shave kroot muzzle, 1/35 jerry can part and plasticard.

Thanks for all the kind words. Almost painted the whole lot now! Much better than my Eisenhorn Now stuff, I've realy been pushing some aspects of my "miniature art" that would be way too boring to go into with any greater detail, than yay, I try my best and seem to learn new stuff.

I've now painted all 4 seen here and will post pics after the contest 9th of August. Then I'll start expanding the group. I am pestering others in the campaign to also post their work here. Some REALLY nice models!

This thread is marvellous! I have been considering how to do a mordhiem/inquisitor/necromunda cross over for a few years now, but just didn't get motivated. Now I may just have to give it a try. Can you explain a bit more on the out of game phases? Also, something that I want to get into mine after reading Eisenhorn is allowing gangs to use vehcles. Have you considered this and if so how would you use them? I'm thinking cheap things to by starting at armour 9 all round that can be improved as the camppaign progresses.

your models are awsome! That's a great use for the Vamp. model. When it came out I too just had to give it ago. It's a lovly metal. I also liked the other lord with the crossed swords. Also like your background. It captures the atmoshphere of the Eisenhorn/Ravenor books and yet still fits into the gameing context.

Do you have a terrain set for the campaigns at all? This is something else I'm considering. I'm thiking of a standard set that can be used in 40k games as well, but with the option of adding in buildings with rooms and bits etc. Any suggestions. I'll be following this thread for sure. It's really nice to see someone's though process as well as model developments.

Thanks - sounds like I found just the kind of hobbyist I am hoping to reach

Yes, we are using vehicles! (though they are only featuring starting next round: everything from a Valkyrie, to 8 wheel trucks, flashy speeder and a 4 by 4) As the games are game mastered skirmish games with an RPG factor, game balance can be achieved in so many ways and missions. We are hoping to make a story and have fun.

A set of terrain is a dream, but currently we are using what we have for 40k. But as I have come to realise I love this kind of games by far the most, a proper themed 4 by 4 terrain set is in the horizon.

We have a small forum for the campaign stuff only, but I can share more here in the coming two months! (also of the gaming side and rules addendums). This is an example of the mission briefings players get and to which they give individual email replies:






Jade Vessel - Round TWO - “Pathfinding under duress”

Despite the preparations, the training, the praying, in some cases the sacrifices, it was worse than they could’ve known. With the whole hive seething with unrest, those who can are fleeing and the hive is sucking in the bands of scum and the odd hero on the planet and from beyond. To fill the vacuum. To hunt!



RPG phase (email me your plan!):

Inquisitors: Define your search pattern, delegate tasks to your principal agents and start your search. Make your claims for the Rogue Trader in PDF custody, before Frostschein arrives. Gauer - under special condition, not known to other forces. Harker - identified, presumed under Frostschein command, as he is most senior =I= on Berdia (or the sub sector for the matter)

Hitmen of the Syndicate: Define a course of action to benefit from the unrest!! and to glean as much info as possible. You may interrogate the principal agent in your captivity, or use him for ransom, or both - understand the risks and the rewards.

Rogue Trader: Assemble your men, the prize is there for the taking but not from behind bars. Cunning and ambition is required now and some new allies must be found. Great fortunes can be made of the desperate times and human suffering - should you capitalize?


GAME phase (email me dates that suit you):

Scenario: 9 “Decrees of interrogation”, played simultaneously on two locations (tables)
In the safe house of the Syndicate and under the PDF fort, the two prisoners face the ultimate test. Time is of essence and destiny in the making. As Lord Inquisitor Frostschein, the scourge of Terra heads for the Fort to interrogate the prisoner, the window of opportunity is for gambling, negotiating, cunning or downright gunning to get the Trader out. (Traders primary game)

Simultaneously, Sgt. Jargassor has sent word, he has prevailed against the odds and followed the Syndicate hitmen to the safe house where they are no doubt beginning to disseminate Agent Falk. (Syndicate primary game)

A special interrogation table for the game exists, for certain techniques risk injury, or even death.

Formulate a plan, divide your agents if you must/wish!, start your engines even and execute on the two destinations. Your gang should be ready, or it will be found wanting. You may strike deals, or just send an agent or two to assist an outcome to your liking or advantage at the secondary target. Act fast, utterly powerful individuals are now on you and you will adapt or die. Know also when to run to fight another day. Who Dares wins.

Good Luck!

Here's the Rogue Inquisitor painted. My own fave to date I've now painted all four pics, but need to take more pics.

All comments and crit welcome!

And all four in a pic provided by the contest judges (Rezah is very fluffily shooting the boss at the back with a solid shot):



I'd really like to know what you guys think!

I think I'd like a detail shot of the Inquisitors face ^_-.

How did I miss this!?! I'm almost always on the ball with Migs projects :p

Awesome work bud- I love the bionics on your =][=.

When I read the original intro I was expecting 54mm models (I'm guilty of loving those =][= models far too much, I admit, but Nelson's talent and vision was so intense with his work on that project).

I'd love see and hear more about this!

Thanks Drake!

I love the 54mm stuff too, but the available conversion fodder for 28mm is so awesome, coupled with some absolutely gorgeous minis at that scale recently, factored with the 10 or so member gangs made it a pretty easy to choise to go with the smaller scale. But everyone in the campaign loves =I= scale models and has done several in the past.

Well keep us updated on your progress! I can't get enough Migsula art

Jeebus, your painting skillz are just beautiful, Migs.

Can you share any tips and techniques with all us unwashed masses?

Now that is just lovely...

Keep it up!

Bejesus!

As ever, awe-inspiring work from you, Migs!

(Could I enquire as to how you do the first stage of the bases? It looks like a wash, but I can't, for the life of me, figure it out!)

Stay safe,

Thanks, I am very happy to share - provide any asnwers to questions etc. But I wouldn't know where to start from with just "share something" and trying to keep three dakka blogs going is quite time consuming alone But I do try to give back to the forum I've gotten (and keep getting) so much from!

It's a normal coat of milky consistency light green grey in this case, this is followed by tan earth wash, then grey washes, then grey streaks, then rust washes, then... Just mix and match for whatever looks right and works with the minis

dam dey look nice

New guys in the works!






I wish there was a GD closer to home, as I'd really love to have taken this lot and the special transport I'm building for them.

they look great! the vamp conversion turned out really lovely! Such a good way of using that model. You really do capture the feeling og the books in these models. Looking forward to seeing more!

I love the GS double-chins on the Gun Servitor. What parts went into construction of the hammer-wielding Acolyte? Is that the head from the new Empire Wizard sprue?

I would guess that the acolyte is an empire flagellant, with kroot shoulderpads. I can't be sure but I'd hazard a guess that the hammer is from valten, but I am clueless about the head.

I really like the fat gun servitor with the ork arms, migsula.

Keep it up!

Mekboy's right! Head's also from the flagellant kit!

Thanks for the comments guy, I have something else for you in a minute, I think you'll like.

WOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSHHhhhh...

So I have these few models lying around, from past projects that never really got that final idea that really makes them click - this one was for the E&A project, and was going to be something to do with fire, with this really nice =I= henchmen head with welding goggles. He didn't fit in so I had to abandon him. I pick him up every now and then, today after seeing Hammer's new additions and enjoying his efforts with the Empire Wizard kit.

One thing leads to another = a pyromanic mutant witch is born!!! I am REALLY looking forward to painting it and the light effects. DAMN I wish I could take this lot the uk gd...

Let me know how he reads to you and if you like the idea of fire effect! I'm still going to sculpt the shoulder and collar area some.

He looks ace, though I think a bit more fire is neccessary, but it could just be the pyro in me. I really like the use of bitz and I may have to steal this idea at some point.

Khrangar

Maybe it's just the angle of the pic, but somehow, I think his right arm looks wonky compared with the angle of his body. But yeah, I love the welding goggle head. It's one of my favorite pieces in the WH line, second only to the LE Gideon Lorr.

My meager effort to Migsula's campaign can be found here: http://www.pbase.com/colhammer/inquisitor

I have finished building the figs and am currently painting them. We have game sunday, so I'm trying to finish the whole gang by then.

Wow - I certainly wouldn't call those meager, Col Hammer. I think you've, in general, got a group with a pretty high bar for modeling and painting. I'm loving some of those conversions. I'd really enjoy seeing those from some other angles. Your weapon conversions are really nice.

Everyone's promised pics after Sunday's game.

I personally absolutely love Hammer's stuff and can't wait to see it finished on sunday

Very very awesome stuff! Both yours, and hammers are amazing! You have inspired me to make awesome weapons, because quite frankly im getting tired of the same old stock weapons they I get in every box. Thanks for the inspiration, and giving my eyes some candy.

Wow, to both of you, AMAZING!

Keep it up. MOAR PICS.

Stay safe,
