i've been collectin' random dark-age minis for about 5 years now, and i can't say enough about some of the cool sculpts...
startin' off with brom's design work is a wellspring of great ideas...it's one of those lines where, once you've started collectin' a few, ya want 'em all...

nice work as always migsula...

cheers

We had another game today - It was a blast with some real Chaos flavor and a nasty new personality! Hammer has promised a full report and pictorial monday or tuesday.

We will post more of our stories here too. (we always write little stories in between the games)

Looking forwards to the game report mate.

Cheers,

Dante

is it going to have the hammer treatment? so much fun to read ^_^.

Yes, full Hammer treatment, but much less jokes and more dramatic this time - it was quite nasty!

I didn't have the time to process the battle report pics yet as I was taking these pics. I'll try to get the report done by tuesday or wednesday. Here's new, with better lighted pics of my gang, Including the bounty hunter and daemon host. I'm not happy about the daemonhost pics though, it's a hard fig to take pics. I'll try again soon.

For some reason the face of the Daemonhost kind of reminds me of something from Resident Evil/Final Fantasy or you know...those games that kind of have this manga kind of Japanese vibe going on, kind if Ergo Proxy.

Love that Arbitrator by the way! I'm going to find a way to scratchbuilt that close combat weapon of hers for my Mezzan. I didn't notice that she, the Interrogator and the Gunnery Chief all have the same camo pants on!

Eva Kosutic is by far my fave, such great pose, detail and OTT weaponry. There's just something about Eva I really love them all, and I think to use a brown primer was a really great idea as it has lent a very coherent and pleasing look for the whole.

The pics, and mostly the extremely harsh lighting doesn't really do justice to them at all.

I had to up the light levels drastically or the pics would have ended up as dark as the previous ones. At least now you can make out some details.

Do you know how to increase exposure on your camera?? It's really easy and since you have a tripod, you should really do it if there's not enough light. I'l show you next time.

My favourites are the arbite and the gunnery sgt, both are excellent conversions, any chance of a parts breakdown and some WIP's?

Cheers,

Dante

I didn't take any WIPs but one per fig (www.pbase.com/colhammer -> go to Inquisitor section).

Arbitrator parts: Head is plastic daemonette head, torso is from Mordheim Sister of Sigmar, Legs are from Sniper (Eversor?) Assassin. Arms are from plastic Cadian. The force rod is three parts: Hilt is plastic cadian chainsword arm, rod is from plastic cadian missile launcher missile and the head came from (IIRC) Storm Hammer. The bolter I don't recall right now what I used for it... Plastic parts though. And lots of green stuff on top of everything, of course.

The Gunnery Chief is just a plastic Cadian re-posed and lots of green stuff added, rifle is built from many plastic bits and has green stuff covering.

Hammer's promised the report this week He's got 36 images to edit and write the texts on so it's going to take some time

Oh will we finally know the entire story of the Shades of Greye? That would rule!

Great modelling and development going on in this thread. Very inspiring stuff, thanks for sharing.

Hammer you lazy unreliable git! Where is that report!?

Hi, I'm totally new to this board and have been looking for a few days now for a good bridge between Inquisitor and 40k. Kill Team was good, but I really wanted the campaign feel of Mordheim or Necromunda. A couple friends of mine and I have been using the Kill Team rules to run =I= warbands against one another. It was fun, but could soon get stale when there is so little room for growth.

Well, then I stumbled onto this thread. I'm totally blown away by the work done here!

migsula, the stuff you're putting up there is the kinda thing I'm looking for. Incredible.

I guess my question is...and I have been scanning the pages of this thread for a little while now - but I'm blind sometimes...what kind of rules have you guys been using for your games to allow you to incorporate Inquisitors and stuff into your games? I saw the World in Arms rules, which seemed nice, is this what you are using. If not, what modifications have you done to the Necromunda gang system?

Sorry for all the questions.

(By the way, I love the Alpha Legion marine. It's cool to see things havn't gotten to where entire tactical squads are running around. Kinda LatD. Cool.)

-Travis

The basic rules change is that we're not incorporating inquisitors into the gangs. The inquisitors are the leaders, and the retinues are the various gang members. In my variant, there are three leader types to choose from: Inquisitors, Rogue Traders, and Tech Magi. Each leader type has specific rules that apply to their retinues/warbands.

Oh, OK, that seems to make a lot of sense. The idea of doing it in that way never even occured to me. It would seem a Rogue Trader would offer up a lot of possibilities.

So, does that mean that the original Necromunda stat lines for gangers and such are being retained and new weapons, abilities, powers and equipment are being instituted? Or are any new stat lines being generated for the different types of individuals in a retinue aside from Juves, Heavies, and Gangers? What of Daemonhosts and their particular ilk?

Is there a standard resource that exists out there that you guys are working off of? Is there a link? I've got the Necromunda rules. Truth is, I've never played it, but have played Mordheim. It seems that this particular project has really tweaked my interest in givin' it a well invested shot. Man, do I ever want to start converting! It's been over a year since I last did anything with green stuff.

Thanks so much for the reply,

-Travis (Super Interested)

...That was awesome.

Yes! Finally! Cool report dude, didn't expect you to include your Blood Pact models, kick ass stuff.

@THartl: You might want to check out this thread in which we discuss the rules and such for =I=munda.

Awesomeness in a box.

~sA

Great report guys, love the narrative and storyline behind the whole campaign. Very well thought out and could just as easily have been a story line in a Dan Abnett book.

Bravo chaps, looking forward to more as always!

Cheers,

Dante

Huge thanks Hammer!!! Well worth the wait.

Oh boy how anxious I am to get my gangs the Hammer treatment Next round I want Shaddes offe Greye in on the report!

Another awesome report.

The games look like such a blast.

In my variant (still being developed), if your leader is an inquisitor, you have to choose whether he is puritan or radical. Puritans can select from one list, radicals another.

Daemonhosts and servitors: They don't fit into the classification of Ganger (Agent), Heavy (Specialist) or Juve (Sage), so we are developing a new category for them.

Kind of off topic, but what classification does the Servitor have in a Pit Slave gang? Just take that classification for those sorts of units (Servitors, Daemonhosts, etc).

Man your guys stuff is so awesome. Really makes me wanna play =I= And I gotta say that this thread has been my main inspiration for the weapons I am creating. I decided I was bored with what little choice I had for the more common guns so I started taking my spares and creating my own. I am hoping to come up with enough cool weapons to make my own mold, and make an entire army with my own guns.

Brilliant! Now I just need to find the Pit slave gang rules...
