Necromunda Guy's Underhive Dwellers (and other stuff)

[Guydob]

Hi everyone, didn't post here anything in quite a while
The Book of Iron turned out to be rather fun as far as the kitbash/scratchbuild possibilities go.
So here's some stuff I did for the ongoing campaign that's I'm a part of:

Mr.Karate, Orlock Prize Fighter

Proxy Slate Merdena (now I need to get a suitable dog for him) and a Grease Monkey hanger-on

That grease monkey has Jason Statham quality stubble. Well done.

Loving Mr. Karate!

I think that's who it's supposed to be. It's from Artel W's Action Hero head pack.

Ahhh, well there you go. Still like the paint job.

My take on House Ran Lo Auditor and Gelt-scrivener, weird how the house isn't really depicted in any of the artwork

WHOA!

Why o why have i missed this thread earlier??? So cool and characterful models around. That massive-headed suit dude above, along with "Big Sh*t", that teal faced Ash Waste Nomad and "Bardoras Yok" immediately skyrocketed their way to my today's current top-4 favorite Necromunda characters ever. Way to go!

Also very much loving the dirty white Inquisitors and the cool green color on Sentinels. How did you paint those?

Thank you for the kind words!
As for the color schemes, I already forgot by now, so I'm scrambling my grey matter here but:
1) The inquisitors: khaki undercoat followed by off-whites like VMC Ivory and VMC Deck Tan, wash with agrax+nuln+drakenhoff+biel-tan green (apparently it's supposed to emulate the ancient "armor wash" of ye olde times), for highlights I actually used an thick-ish enamel white wash (in my case it's Russia-exclusive White Wash by Pacific88 but i'm sure there are analogous products abroad as well) which I blended in with the tiniest amount of white spirit.
2) Sentinels: I think the basecoat is VMC Intermediate green + maybe VMC Sky Green for highlights. But the main component here is a 3 layers of a white acrylic wash, each less diluted than the last, which is then followed by sponging on the basecoat color to emulate chipping. The process is better explained here

Thanks for the painting tips, and for linking that awesome video! Really useful and inspiring stuff.

Welp, It's taking too long for the new orlock box to arrive so I figured I might as well make my own wreckers

 

[Pagumb]

Solid, aggressive and they look tough as nails. I like the variety in their overall appearance too. Excellent conversions

Something a bit different this time. Last weekend I visited a local hobby shop and bought a cardboard terrain kit by UMBUM/ Umnaya Bumaga. They offer a good variety of fantasy/historical buildings, sci-fi vehicles and fortifications and even D&D dungeon sets, but I got a "Cybershop" since it looked specifically "Necromunda" to me.

The assembly was rather fiddly, even on the box cover it says "Difficulty: Advanced", but the end-result was imo well worth it. I think it looks great with my necromunda dwellers and there's plenty of ways to arrange different components together.

Meanwhile, I've getting into Kill Team (feels rather sluggish compared to Necromunda), mostly using the Primaris from the First Strike box and Scions. Now I've started putting together an ork warband, half of it being these green grandpa boyz that I got from a FLGS bits bazaar. No, these are not the original plastic models and not even recasts But I did try my best to try to mimic the iconic Ghazghull Goffs from ye old books

 

[Crazy Ivan]

Those look great, really fun models!

An angry kinder egg

Boss Nob for my ork kill team. I was inspired by the old Ghaz model, used plenty of green stuff but still decided to cheat my way out of sculpting a new face

 

[Mutant Modifier]

Huge horns are HUGE! Loving it.

Whoops, almost abandoned this place
An addition to my band for a new campaign, Road Sergeant Sneed, who is too pretty for Primus

What on earth could I ever be making...
