Necromunda My Miscellaneary

[cainex1]

I'll update my posters some time soon but I made some new ones for a "coffee" shop.

Nearly a millennium of unflinching loyalty to the Ordo Caffinorum. Sumptown Roasters, some say our brew could even rouse the Emperor.

Hey in thought sumptown ran on hatred and nicotine

 

[cainex1]

Hatred and smoking is thirsty work.. and you're gonna need a pick-me-up!

 

[MedMos]

I like the little "Good luck".

 

[oddball300]

True but you know the best is part of waking up is hatred in your cup. Lol

10 out of 10 Guardsmen agree!

(no, noone actually makes this... I had to go make a silly meme. GET BACK TO WORK INTERNET)

edit - replaced with newer, spicier meme but I'm too lazy to blend and color match everything for a mediocre joke

 

[oddball300]

10/10 best meme ever I even play guard so this was the best.

Ok, been doing some comparisons. The Maelstrom's edge hands for the Eperian Contractors are exactly to scale with Van Saar, Escher and Eldar/DE, slightly smaller than Cawdor and GSC, much smaller than Guard/Orlock and they could be the size of Tempestus Prime hands without gloves (I don't have any cultists but I am 99% sure they scale with IG exactly). So, if you need hands with fingers off the trigger, fists, and support/grasping with actual finger detail, this is a real way to go. The boots are a great but parts are covered by a bit too much plastic to make them worth cutting out. The weapons are solid, a good selection and as parts for other weapons they will shine like diamonds.
Did a quick chop recut of the sprue image to show you the worthwhile parts, IMO

P.S. there is enough room on most of the arms to use large cutters to remove the hands, if you do, you can maintain the cuff if you need or have plenty to cut away to make fit

I'm feeling updatey before bed...
Here's what those hands look like

Next up, some dudes I got from Warlord to use as Guilders/Uphivers maybe mercs. These will be easy conversions (plus, look at those pimpin hats!)

And a look at the assembled hoarcats for scale (yes, big pimpin is gonna get a fur coat)

Next, my spirdery mechanical bits have arrived to obvious purpose.

Of course... everyone's favorite loader! (to be)

And what could this auspicious pile of bits be??

And with that, I sleep... it's too damn early here.

 

[Draconic]

Looks cool! Got to love when new goodies arrive!

 

[Sethmerlin666]

All the bits!
Look forward to your builds

 

[oddball300]

Hey dude needs a feather for his hat in that fancy coat!

 

[cainex1]

I know, right?! There is a decided lack of fancy hats in the 41 millennium.

Heresy. The lack of hats on gangers merely demonstrates their chronic bad planning.

Inquisitors have fancy hats [and sometimes flash wigs]. Rogue traders have fancy hats. Undercover Alpha Legion have fancy hats.

Gangers have no fancy hats.

That's why they are gangers. Don't be a ganger. Don't lose your hat.

 

[cainex1]

I'm just sayin...

 

[oddball300]

Mmm kinda looks like the colonel from apocalypse now. The one that says Charlie don't surf.

did someone say "fancy hats"?

 

[cainex1]

This guy knows whats up.

 

[oddball300]

That's one classy mofo

So, none of this is for anything I'm specifically working on but with vehicles inevitably becoming a thing (one way or the other) I thought it best to work up some proper bits for the task.
The Taurox kit is solid gold for Imperial kitbashing (and those legs could pass for most anything regular scale and roughly male, or perfectly for Orlock)

Next up, I noticed that the Wave Serpent pilot has a very familiar suit... low and behold!

And here's some photo side by sides that should be helpful to anyone wanting to do anything with Escher and DE (and you can guess what my end product will bee, too)

And one of the sellers I follow on ebay had a sale so I picked up some Kromlech heads and this cool dude, a gunned up preacher or inquisitor type

And the heads (I'm pretty sure I posted the other ones.. or didn't, who knows)

P.S. if you have any fitment/scale questions about any of the stuff I've got, I'll be happy the check.
