After years posing as a respectable citizen uphive, I’m back in my gang’s workshop, hobby knife and spray can in hand! In the meanwhile, I have lurked, played a few games of Necromunda, and taken inspiration from posts of others here. I intend to post more regularly and to try my best to be a part of this amazing community. Thank you for being here all the while.
An ongoing project for me has been to convert grots into Necromunda juves. Out of one box of 10 grots I have found 6 so far that were convertible into juves. Replacing orkish heads, removing claws, carving away flesh to make them look scrawnier, and sculpting longer legs, made juves suitably smaller than my regular gangers.
I wanted them to be mostly shirtless or even shoeless and lacking in equipment to emphasize that they were youths or shanty dwellers with little choice but to join a gang.
Most carry just one pistol, but I especially enjoy the juve with frag grenades. A BS 2 model with a short ranged 5” blast template. Hilarious! And it generates plenty of fodder for the narrative. His track record so far is to consistently die in the first match of any campaign that I use him in. Recently the dice gods allowed the stubgun armed juve to hit a heavy armed with a plasmagun on a 7 at long range, take him out of action, and shrug off the weapon explosion of his dum-dum rounds. Whether they’re doing well or failing spectacularly, the antics of the juves just make me smile.
