Necromunda Spyrers :)

For thin, posable cables, I can't recommend the Masq Mini tube tool enough. I've heard you can also use a comb!

Mine appears to be unavailable, but this one comes recommended and is cheap:

Anything cable-like or tentacle-y I do with my tube tool. It's just so easy to use. I tend to do oversized cables but however thin you make your GS sausage is how thin the cable will be.

Here's a "Cable Overkill" before and after for ya... sooooo fun!

Thanks for the link @Xavier Bacon - I just dropped 100 euros at that website!

There was just so much great stuff there for my (future) terrain project.

 

[Xavier Bacon]

It's suuuuch a fun site. When I get a new job I'm gonna celebrate with a similar order. Decent priced plastruct rod multipacks, too.

What's the base model from/called etc?

This is a Ninja with Tactical Bow, from the game box: Operation Red Veil. Infinity is the game, by corvus belli. This model is not sold as single blister, you can get it only from that box. I just found it single from a spanish seller on the bay.

For the Malc claws, Dark Eldar bits came to mind.
Maybe these - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Warhammer-4...034773?hash=item41bbd2e4d5:g:bKoAAOSw-0xYd-16, or some of the dual bits from this set - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Warhammer-4...896568?hash=item3f74864678:g:zjoAAOSw4DJYjOlQ

Might be able to find better prices than that, I just grabbed the first two auctions I could find to check and make sure my memory matched up to reality on what the bits looked like.

I have a load of Genestealer Cult knives or various Dark Elf knives that might suit. Happy to post some, or bitz swap or something. Shout if you want me to rummage and take some pics (OF THE PLASTIC BITS, SMUT LORDS!).

 

[Underhiver]

Thanks everyone for your support I am evaluating various options... still have some dark eldar spikes and blades myself ... I am waiting for the model from TheTrollTrader, until I have it in my hand I can't effectively make any try...

About bitz, slightly off topic: there is a trading running here? I am the hunt for some stuff... mostly Skitarii.

@Underhiver - There is a post HERE where trades are arranged. Just post a list of things you need (you might be lucky, and find someone who has the spare parts you need.)

 

[King Redwart]

Thanks for the info @Underhiver.

Re trades, this thread -https://yaktribe.games/community/threads/successful-trades.2805/ proves we aren't a bunch of scumbags

 

[Underhiver]

Dead end on the Malcadon, the Dreadball model is a midget compared to the two others... he appear small for the 28mm scale... comparison picture soon, then you can check it yourself uff...

 

[nooker]

Given the comic appearance of the Orrus, I don't know if midget would be bad. Malcadons were always depicted as being whip thin, so small isn't much of a stretch. It'll be interesting to see if I change my tune with a pic.

 

[mattrafe]

your stuff looks good - looking forward to see them painted

Thank you I am lazy on the paint side (and I need new brushes because mine are almost gone...), but I won't slack on this warband. I planned to paint them with the oroginal vintage scheme <o/

I agree, way too small. Too bad though, it is a neat looking model.

 

[trollmeat]

It wouldn't be too small if you make it a balpack backpack with four spidey legs (as per Invader Zim comment earlier), and have the two lower legs raising the model higher... :-D

...it would add to the comicy oversizedness of the orrus and make the whole team look more Super

~"Super Spyrers are GO!"

 

[KungFuPanda]

Teenager Spyrer? Super family!

 

[nooker]

I'd like to see it up on a base. I think it would still be small, but their bases are definitely taller.

 

[Underhiver]

I know that stretching the legs and add a base with small scenery will compensate a lot, but it is not definitely the overall style I am looking for. After all, I wasted 5€ on that model but it was worth to check it in my hands, and to have an idea of how much that Mantic range was usable for conversions (near "not at all"). I fastly switched my aim for another base model... some candidates:

Tomorrow I receive my last supply of bitz for the Yeld, and I start build it. It will look a lot like Archangel from X-Men *grin*

 

[nooker]

I like the first one better, unless you do a head swap on the second one, as it's the head that really bothers me.
