That said, we did manage to get some Necromunda in here and there and I figured it was high time to get at least something up on the blog this month...<br />
<br />
The second session of the Sump City Showdown in late October included one of my favorite scenarios from the 1st edition, The Hunt for the Great White One! A group of hunters sets out on skiffs across the great gunk sea in a bid to kill and collect the lucrative gemmed eyes of the monstrous sump spiders.<br />

<br />
The sump spiders all got cards which were shuffled into a deck, with the Great White One being added in the bottom half of the cards. Each turn a few more spiders would be drawn, with the players never quite knowing when the mother of all spiders would erupt from the gunk and start wreaking havoc!<br />
<br />

<br />
The table was primarily covered in gunk, with a few small islands and a couple buildings to offer refuge. It being around Halloween, there was plenty of fake spider webbing, which added to the theme nicely.<br />
<br />

<br />
The players got stuck in straight away, firing a few desultory shots at each other before the spiders became a much larger threat and the group found themselves working together (mostly) to survive!<br />
<br />

<br />
Before too long however, the Great White One arrived and began taking revenge on the hunters!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
What started as a nice hunt turned into a rout rather quickly, with the various gangs doing their best to escape of the table edges with their loot before being dragged to the bottom of the sump by the wicked talons and fangs of the mighty spider queen! All in all a very fun scenario!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/SumpCityCampaign/SumpCityShowdown20191027%20(8).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/SumpCityCampaign/SumpCityShowdown20191027%20(8).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/SumpCityCampaign/SumpCityShowdown20191027%20(9).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/SumpCityCampaign/SumpCityShowdown20191027%20(9).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
As per the usual, I set up a few other tables for gangs to fight over, and actually managed to play a few games myself! In the previous campaign I was solely acting as the arbitrator so never got to actually play. Of course, that means I'm not getting as many pictures as I would otherwise like...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
A recurring theme in our recent games have been gangers plummeting to their deaths (or at least to their horribly lasting injuries), and this table was no exception. Could be argued that this scenario should have been called "It's raining men". Hah!<br />
<br />

<br />
A little tunnel skirmish between the Council of Crows and PT Barnacle's Scavvy Cavalcade turned into an utter rout for the Tzeentch cult. When there's a dozen or more plague zombies, scalies and mutants bearing down on you, even the Changer of the Ways suggests running for your lives!<br />

We just ran another session this past weekend but I still need to go through and collate the pictures, and in the meantime I'm putting together the plans for the December session, wherein the underhivers will be celebrating Fistmas!Mordian7thhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-789384348956312302019-10-30T08:55:00.000-06:002019-10-30T08:55:13.472-06:00DreadTober 2019 Week 4 - To Done!Got all the little final detailing done on the Contemptor Achillus over the weekend, just in time to hit the finish line for DreadTober!

<br />
All in all a rather fun dreadnought to paint up, and has me rather excited to get back to the rest of the Custodes in the force as a change of pace from all the Necromunda going on behind the scenes. Reminds me, I gotta get all the pics from last session sorted out and posted...<br />

While I've been beavering away on more Necromunda behind the scenes, I have gotten quite a bit of work done on the Contemptor Achillus, and it's almost complete (and essentially table ready now)!<br />
<br />

<br />
Did some more targeted shading and highlights on the gold, cleaned up the greaves and shoulders, and laid in the iron/steel. Starting to look good now!<br />

There's still some more work to be done here and there - Taking photos of your models always shows things that the naked eye misses.

<br />
From there it's a bunch of drybrushing, washes and re-drybrushing in glorious gold, shining gold, and reikland fleshshade. Starting to look more Custode-y now!<br />

I am slowly working towards a Legio Custodes force for a Burning of Prospero game being organized for Adepticon 2020 (so I have some time), so I figured now was a good time to get cracking on the Contemptor-Achillus that is part of the force!<br />

Like all of Forge World's contemptors, the model has a metric ton of articulation points, and was a joy to build! Rather happy with how the arms holding the glaive turned out, though there was more than a little swearing while attempting to line everything up in a realistic manner. Rather looking forward to getting some paint on it over the next few weeks!Mordian7thhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-45023807975472024992019-09-23T09:56:00.001-06:002019-09-23T09:56:19.406-06:00Dreadtober 2019!Just a quick hit today - It's almost that time of year, the temperature is dropping, the leaves are changing and the Tech Priests are awakening their charges from their long slumber!<br />

Over the last few sessions, The Down and Out In Dust Falls campaign was showing the cracks in the rules we were using, so we agreed to wrap it up at session five with the dramatic finale scenario "Down Among The Dead Men". Over the course of the campaign there was a growing influx of plague zombies, and the trickle has become a flood! Down in the depths of the Abyss, Karloth Valois and his hordes were stirring and the time had come for him to rise up and destroy Dust Falls!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(3).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(3).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The scene opened at the precinct house of the local Enforcers, where several gangers had been locked up in the iso-cubes for various infractions the previous evening. A pair of enforcers released the gangers, explaining there was another plague zombie incursion and in exchange for help dealing with the infestation, their misdemeanors would be overlooked.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(5).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(5).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Unbeknownst to the gangers and enforcers, Karloth Valois himself was already walking the streets of Dust Falls! Represented by a handful of 'blips', only once a ganger laid eyes on one of the objective markers would it be revealed whether it was the zombie master or merely a distraction...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(6).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(6).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The Enforcers led the way out of the precinct house, instructing the fastest of the ex-prisoners to reach the broadcast tower atop the blockhouse to call for reinforcements.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(7).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(7).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Without fear, the Enforcers strode out to meet the slavering menace...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(8).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(8).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Full of confidence, the pathetic zeds stood no chance against the mailed fist of Lord Helmawr.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(9).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(9).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
...Right?<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(11).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(11).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
...Well, perhaps not. With a scream and some rather unpleasant squelching noises, the two Enforcers were horribly devoured!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(10).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(10).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Each gang's reinforcements began to arrive, and the canny Van Saars technicians had managed to develop an anti-zombie concoction that, when added to the two atmospherics processors would stop their advances. The devices were heavy and awkward however, and required two gangers to carry if they wished to move at speed. An impromptu alliance was formed and the first of two canisters set off for the first processor. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(12).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(12).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Further reinforcments arrived, bearing the second canister, and a stronger defense began to come together.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(13).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(13).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
No time to lose, as further zombies came shambling out of the darkness!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(14).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(14).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The first runner team encountered a bit of trouble on their way, but the forces of house Cawdor provided covering fire.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(15).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(15).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Ever more zombies arrived and began converging on the precinct house from the north!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(16).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(16).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
A more active offense was decided upon, and the various gang reinforcments started to move out to strike down the incoming waves.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(17).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(17).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
More teamwork between gangs that had been at each other's throats just days before, the durability of the shield-carrying Van Saar and the lethal swordplay of the Cawdor saw numerous zombies meet their end. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(18).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(18).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
...Only to have their numbers replaced as another, larger wave of zombies appeared!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(19).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(19).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And another horde spewed forth from the depths to the east!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(20).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(20).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
With the atmosphere processor nearly surrounded, it would take some fancy footwork and coordination for the canister team to make it through...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(21).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(21).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
With the Cawdor Ambot finally kicked over into attack mode, the now-bolstered defenders moved out to defend the second runner team.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(22).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/DustFallsCampaign2019/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818%20(22).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
...While the first team juked left and then right, drawing some of the zombies away and opening a path to the processor.<br />
<br />
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_xuopk4hEN8WX_SLlsWzrgZpIQGTvDZfrRGocBVK6KLA2Wv8hNNDQpEujPucXQ75U4D0k0BYZAosTdZaC0T-KkQqYadaLEUBfYEmn4__nZnBE0QKhFY6q9gpxE97iW8fV3CLFdXDk134/s1600/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818+%252823%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_xuopk4hEN8WX_SLlsWzrgZpIQGTvDZfrRGocBVK6KLA2Wv8hNNDQpEujPucXQ75U4D0k0BYZAosTdZaC0T-KkQqYadaLEUBfYEmn4__nZnBE0QKhFY6q9gpxE97iW8fV3CLFdXDk134/s640/DownAndOutInDustFalls_20190818+%252823%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Finally Karloth was revealed! The cry went up and many of the defenders began converging on his location, eager to fell the foul necromancer.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The Cawdor Ambot pounded forward, mincing and mashing zombies, and spraying viscera in all directions. The cult haruspex would later comment that the flung entrails showed the favor of the Emperor in their endeavor and it was at this point the tide turned against the forces of darkness. More grounded observers suggested that's generally what happens when a mining robot uses its tunneling claws on people.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On the eastern quadrant, the first runner team engaged in a full sprint, weaving their way through the slavering zombies...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
...And in a last-ditch effort managed to deploy the device and feed the anti-toxin into the processor, which halted the endless flow of zombies.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
However, their heroics would only be celebrated posthumously as the surrounding horde fell upon them in a grisly feast!<br />

<br />
With the loss of reinforcements to the east, Karloth gathered his remaining forces for a last-ditch assault!<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Which broke upon the stalwart defenses of the gangs! Volley fire and mechanical death tore into the ravening zombies, devastating their numbers.<br /><br />

Karloth Valois attempted to flee the whirring blades of the Ambot and the questing gunfire...<br />

<br />
Only to find himself squarely in the crosshairs of a rad-cannon from across the table and finished off by the second runner team!<br />
<br />
With that, the zombies reverted to their usual mindless selves and were easily dispatched, and the citizens of Dust Falls were safe once more! Of course, when the zombies had finally been put down and people began cleaning up the area, Karloth's body was nowhere to be found...<br />
<br />
All in all it was a very successful campaign and we all had a blast! There was a bit of attrition which is to be expected, and there were definitely some rules tweaks that were discussed to make the next campaign even better! Speaking of, the first session of the Sump City Showdown begins next weekend, should be a good time!Mordian7thhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-1631168494688967412019-09-17T12:15:00.002-06:002019-09-17T12:15:20.812-06:00Necromunda - Downhive Dispatch #4More mayhem in the underhive! The fourth session had some schedule conflicts and as such we only had three players able to make it. As such we went with a couple narrative missions - There's been an ever-increasing surge of Plague Zombies showing up in Dust Falls over the last several sessions, and the 2nd Shift Linemen organized an assault on the hideout of P.T. Barnacle's Carnival of Wonder in a search for a potential cure or weapon to use against the shambling hordes, while the two Cawdor gangs decided to air their grievances and attempt to establish whether the Lectitio Divinitatus should be printed in a Serif or Sans Serif font.<br />

I pulled out all the sloppy and slimy tiles and ginned up a hideout for the scavvy cavalcade of P.T. Barnacle, with a vault where the vial of mcguffinite is stored and stationed the disgusting horde here and there throughout, where they lay in wait for the Van Saars.<br />

<br />
The high-tech ordnance of the 2nd Shift Linemen paved the way for the gangers as they delved ever deeper into the muck, with a few succumbing to the tender ministrations of the Scavvies. Luckily though none of them were captured or eaten and they managed to retrieve several containers of samples that the Van Saar chemists would be able to synthesize into a weapon to fend off the incipient zombie plague.<br />

On the other table, The Light of the Emperor's Benediction and the congregation of Meticulosa Nomen clashed near one of the downhive Schola Progenium, where they battled it out over the souls of the juves (and future congregants).<br />

Both gangs deployed along the catwalks and took cover among the rubble, cat-calling and sniping at each other across the playground.<br />
<br />

<br />
Eventually the forces of Good(?) triumphed over the forces of Evil(?) though when the dust settled nobody really seemed to know which gang was the victor. "All them Cawdor nutjobs look alike ta' me." claimed one onlooker, once the flames had died down. In the end, the merry-go-round was deemed heretical and the smoldering ruins were left as a warning to all. What that warning may be is still up for debate.<br />
<br />
Next up, the dramatic conclusion of the campaign as the zombie hordes pour forth from the Abyss!Mordian7thhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-48311242271448413562019-09-12T07:01:00.002-06:002019-09-12T07:01:30.266-06:00Necromunda - Downhive Dispatch #3, CARNIVALE!More than a bit behind schedule, there were a number of pict-captures of the events in Dust Falls that took a while to sort through and update. Rather than dump them all in one giant slosh of pictures, I'm going to break it out by session. Per the Dominion Campaign rules, it's suggested that at the midpoint of the campaign to do a special scenarios day to give people a break from the norm. We went with the conceit that every few cycles there is a celebration day in the underhive known as Carnivale where the various gangs put aside their differences for a few days and celebrate with various feats of skill, speed and strength. I'd ginned up a couple themed tables and let the players have at it!<br />
<br />
First up was the Rust Town Run, in which two gangs took it in turn to make their way through a dangerous maze in an attempt to make it to the vault and retrieve the prize - A Chrono-Chrystal worth a huge sum of credits!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The initial setup was based on the scenario The Gauntlet and I'd laminated some copies of all the various special effects the tiles provided, which did make things easier for everyone to remember what did what as they made their way through the hazards.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
While the theory was sound, the way we ended up running it meant the defenders had a huge advantage and only one of the attackers made it to the vault. Some tweaks will definitely need to be made to ensure it's a fun and somewhat more balanced scenario.<br />
<br />

<br />
All told this particular event had the most issues, though the players all gave it a go and could see a glimmer of goodness to be had in it. I will definitely be running a new Gauntlet series in the future, based on some excellent suggestions from the players which should make it more fun for all parties involved (which is the point, in the end)!<br />
<br />
The second table was much more well received - A game of Lord of the Spire, wherein multiple gangs send a pair of contestants to race to the top of a massive structure, with the teams with gangers on the hightest level gaining points each turn until someone reaches the very top and hits the buzzer. Of course, as is the case they have a tendency to shoot at each other on the way up as well...<br />

<br />
I pulled out almost all of my plastic bulkheads and set about building a thirteen story tower of terror! As precarious and rickety as it looked, it actually was surprisingly solid. Granted, there was a liberal use of alligator clips clamping everything together...<br />

<br />
I was rather pleased to see that the building itself was taller than some of the participants, and there was a fair bit of standing on tippy-toes to get at the upper floors. The battle raged in the lower levels while some of the faster gangers raced for the top!<br />

<br />
There were quite a few folks knocked off ledges and a fair bit of plummeting all around, which always elicited a cheer from the players. All in all the Lord of the Spire scenario was a rousing success!<br />
<br />
Of course, the real centerpiece event for the session was the unveiling of the THUNDERCUBE!!! (which must at all times be in all-caps).<br />

Overseen by Count Enrique Horatio Amador DeMonet, Guilder Exchequer and Trade Envoy for the Dust Falls Financial Underdistrict, THUNDERCUBE saw a field of hardened pit slaves fighting for the entertainment of all.<br />

The rounds were punishingly brutal, bloody and short. The field of eight pit slaves were whittled down to four, then two...<br />

...With the final two victors pairing off against a legend of the underhive, the pit slave champion Bull Gorg! Even the two hardened killers teaming up stood no chance against the behemoth's twin turbo-chainswords and the crowd roared as Bull Gorg made short work of the erstwhile champions.<br />
<br />
All in all it was a very enjoyable session, and made for a great break between the first and second halves of the campaign. I'll be doing something similar for the upcoming Sump City Showdown campaign, giving the players a chance to have some fun themed multiplayer games!Mordian7thhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-68001652469730408912019-09-10T16:59:00.003-06:002019-09-10T16:59:57.222-06:00Necromunda - Council of Crows complete!Praise be unto the changer of the ways, the Council of Crows are ready for the upcoming Sump City Showdown campaign!<br />

<br />
First off, gotta have the family photo! I ended up picking up a second box of the Corvus Cabal to make a few more gangers - While the predominantly pistol-and-axe guys looked great, a gang just needs a few members toting las- and autoguns! Also a couple special characters were added...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/CouncilOfCrows/TheCouncilOfCrowsPtd%20(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/CouncilOfCrows/TheCouncilOfCrowsPtd%20(2).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /> </a></div>
<br />
Leading the flock is Lord Macrorynchos, armed with his trusty flamer. I'm sure that at no time will he accidentally catch his wings on fire and plummet to his death...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/CouncilOfCrows/TheCouncilOfCrowsPtd%20(4).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/CouncilOfCrows/TheCouncilOfCrowsPtd%20(4).jpg" data-original-height="459" data-original-width="800" height="366" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Next in the hierarchy of the cult are two champions and a witch. Cadfan the Hidden Claw infiltrates onto the battlefield, carrying his trusty heavy stubber with him. Engelram is a pyromaniac like his lord, bearing a hand flamer and toting the cult icon. The cult's witch is known as The Korbinian and even among the deranged cultists he's seen as a bit of an odd duck. Well, raven.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/CouncilOfCrows/TheCouncilOfCrowsPtd%20(6).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/CouncilOfCrows/TheCouncilOfCrowsPtd%20(6).jpg" data-original-height="303" data-original-width="800" height="242" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The bulk of the cult is comprised of Helot Cultists, with Fichra, Velasco, Beltran, Korbl, and Merla acting as the firing line armed with a selection of rifles.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Hraban, Ravenna, Bertok, Hrokr, and Hrafn are all armed with various close combat weapons and refer to themselves the cult's Claws.<br />

<br />
Magnon the Large provides some much-needed muscle to the cult, and also has possibly the worst pun name of any of my gangs to date. With all of the others being some raven or blackbird derivative name, I needed a real groaner. You see he's a Crow, Magnon.<br />
<br />
...I'll see myself out.<br />

That said, I've also been beavering away on a new gang for the upcoming Sump City Showdown campaign - A chaos cult, the Council of Crows!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/CouncilOfCrows/TheCouncilOfCrowsBuilt%20(7).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/CouncilOfCrows/TheCouncilOfCrowsBuilt%20(7).jpg" data-original-height="382" data-original-width="800" height="304" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
As soon as I saw the Corvus Cabal for Warcry, I knew that I had to have 'em and turn them into a Necromunda gang - There was no choice, really! I'd pulled out a mess of Escher bits which seemed to be ideal as they also have a bit of a feathers and birds motif going on. Turns out they worked well together!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Started off by turning the winged guy into a Demagogue with a flamer. In game I'm going to be angling for a grapnel launcher and a drop rig to allow him to 'fly', and added in a couple champions with a double handed axe/hand flamer and a heavy stubber, respectively.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
A trio of cultists with laspistols and axes, keeps them cheap and cheerful - Close combat is a little rough in Necromunda, so it's worthwhile to have a bunch of guys kitted out that way so hopefully at least one or two of 'em will make it into contact.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
A couple guys with autopistols and one with a shotgun round out the initial nine members of the crew (as befitting a Tzeentch-themed cult). Overall these are mostly just simple weapon swaps as far as conversions go, though now that I understand how the Corvus Cabal models go together, I'm planning on doing some further conversions to create some guys with lasguns, autoguns and the like. Should be fun!<br />
<br />
Really looking forward to getting some paint on these guys!<br />

That's not to say there hasn't been a ton of hobby progress, but I've not had much luck uploading pics to my web galleries of late. Luckily, that's now been resolved and a flood of new images are ready to be posted! Brace yourself for bandwidth!<br />

<br />
First up, as a follow on from the last post (back in June? Really? Yeesh.) are the completed pics of the Goliath truck and some reinforcements for the muscle-bound galoots.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Really digging the FW weapon upgrade kits, most of the Newcromunda models don't lend themselves well to easy kitbashing as most of the arms have bespoke connection points meaning unless you're a fair hand with a sculpting tool you are gonna have a rough time. The FW kits go a long way to providing all the alternate options not available on the plastic sprues!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Along with the Goliath truck, I figured the insectile walkers would be ideal for the Van Saar gang and as such they got the same hazard yellow scheme as the associated gangers. Hard to go wrong with Caterpillar/JCB yellow on working vehicles!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/AshWastesNomads/FormicidaeWalkersPtd%20(4).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/AshWastesNomads/FormicidaeWalkersPtd%20(4).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/AshWastesNomads/FormicidaeWalkersPtd%20(5).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/AshWastesNomads/FormicidaeWalkersPtd%20(5).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" width="320" /></a><a href="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/AshWastesNomads/FormicidaeWalkersPtd%20(6).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/AshWastesNomads/FormicidaeWalkersPtd%20(6).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
These walkers were designed to carry the loot piles made a while back, and I'm really happy with how the green/blue/red of the cargo adds to the overall look of the vehilces!<br />
<br />

<br />
If one is good, two is better, right? The intent is to do two or three vehicles for each gang to allow for some vehicle based scenarios in the upcoming campaign.<br />
<br />
Speaking of, the Down and Out in Dust Falls campaign wrapped up this past weekend, and I realize I haven't uploaded the pics from the previous session either. Got a ton of game pics inbound for the next post!<br />

Fairly straightforward, a bit of a chop and greenstuffing on the driver to make one corpulent Goliath. It more or less works if only because most of the lower body is obscured and seated - The Goliath models are big, but not quiiiiite Ork sized, and the physiology difference meant I had to carve and sculpt a new neck. Added on a carved out chest plate and he more or less works! Will have to investigate some of the other Speed Freek kits to see if there's further opportunity for another Goliath vehicle! <br />

Another pass of the water, pva glue and tissue paper to make a tarp to cover up the box o' squigs (that couldn't easily be otherwise removed), and a grenade launcher-toting heavy on the back to give it a little punch! After photographing it and looking over the pics, I figure I need to scrape down some of the more egregious orky iconography before priming it, but the spikes sort of fit the Goliath aesthetic. Overall I'm pretty happy with how it worked! The plan is to do a vehicle or two for each of the six house gangs (and a couple others) for use in the next Necromunda campaign...Mordian7thhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-27970816680922151952019-06-18T18:22:00.002-06:002019-06-18T18:22:43.829-06:00Necromunda - The Caller and the Rise of the KuloqThe Hive Spirits are restless! Planning out some of the narrative for the next Necromunda campaign and one of the main villains will be The Caller and his Ratskin Renegades! I actually never played or painted Ratskins in the old edition (it being the favored gang of a couple others in our group at the time), so it's been rather fun painting old models that I'd never owned nor painted before.<br />

<br />
I'd picked up an assortment of Ratskins from ebay which ended up skewing pretty far into the Braves side of the spectrum, an issue that I'll need to remedy via a few more judicious purchases soon, but overall it's a decent start for the group. A leader, a shaman, 3 warriors (counting Eats Bad Fungus whom I forgot to detach from the guilder gang before photographing), 4 braves and good ol' Brakkar the Avenger, just for a little extra punch. I need three more warriors to field the half-and-half mix of basic Gangers and Juves/Champions/Leaders/etc. that the new system enforces (and to be honest I think is a good rule).<br />

<br />
I figured I needed a proper villain for the campaign and The Caller will be leading a rag-tag mix of Ratskins and Scavvies! This was a model that never appeared in our 1st ed. days, so it was doubly exciting to get the change to build and paint it. As a sculpt it's a bit ropey comparatively speaking, but it certainly is evocative, and I really dig that they provide a mounted and dismounted model.<br />
<br />
There's been some reference to Ratskins in the 2nd edition but no direct mention of them being a playable force as yet, however the rules are similar enough that I'll be working up some conversion rules for them that hopefully will prove reasonably balanced in the new system!Mordian7thhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-15202786498420119992019-06-05T07:05:00.004-06:002019-06-05T07:05:56.529-06:00Necromunda - Ash Wastes NomadsWith the initial Necromunda campaign well underway, I've been giving some further thought to the next one. Where the Dust Falls campaign is set about halfway up the hive, not too far below The Wall, the upcoming one will be set all the way down at ground level, at the Sump and near one of the outer walls. As part of the setting I'm intending to include a bit of territory outside the hive representing a portion of the exterior ash wastes, and that gave me an excuse to build some Ash Waste Nomads!<br />

I had picked up a number of tallarn-esque torsos from Reptilian Overlords ( <a href="https://www.reptilian-overlords.com/">https://www.reptilian-overlords.com/</a> ) and was super pleased with the quality of the bits. I knew that I wanted to mix them with the Genestealer Cult bits mostly because motorbikes, and was really pleased with how well they went together with just a little greenstuff here and there to fill some gaps and de-cult-ify the models a touch.<br />

<br />
One of the things I loved about the old Necromunda tules were all of the add-ons folks had done in the various magazines, including rules for vehicles in the Ash Wastes. As I was using the Jackals to make bikes, it only made sense to carry on and put together a Ridgerunner. Bodged a harpoon from the Orlock gang set which I think helps sell the aesthetic!<br />
<br />

<br />
Figured since I was doing a Ridgerunner it only made sense to include a Goliath as well. Just a basic crew swap on this one, the cannon and gunner are separate to facilitate painting, and to allow it to be used as a more generic vehicle in scenarios as well.<br />
<br />

<br />
And then of course things got weird. Got a bit of a wild hair to do some further vehicles and looking over the rules got me thinking it would be fun to do examples from all the various motive types (bike, wheeled, walker, tracked, skimmer and crawler), so next up is what I'm dubbing a Formicidae Ashwalker, a six-legged flatbed hauler. Using bits from an old Robogear Spider, a Sentinel, and some other miscellaneous bits from the vehicle bitsboxes, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out!<br />

<br />
I'm still debating what color scheme to go with for the Nomads, whether to do them up in drab greys, tans, and browns so they blend in with the dunes, or in bright hazard orange and yellow, to reflect them wanting to be high-viz for rescue in case of storms, ash-slides and whatnot. In the meantime I got stuck in painting the cargo piles - I tried my hand at making some tarps to partially cover the loot using some kleenex dipped in a mix of PVA glue and water, then sort of laid over and mooshed into place to dry. I have to say I'm quite happy with the result, and will definitely be doing more of them in the future!<br />
<br />
All in all a fun start to a new project! As with most of the Necromunda stuff they're small self-contained groups, though this one is looking to be a little bigger than the usual 10-15 models a gang includes. In the future I'm going to build out further generic vehicles for various gangs to use in some of the scenarios bubbling away in the back of my mind...Mordian7thhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-64668706031649843862019-06-03T12:02:00.002-06:002019-06-03T12:02:46.082-06:00Necromunda - House Cawdor AmbotThe Necromunda goodness continues!

<br />
Didn't want to just paint it up in the gang colors and call it good, so a bit of kitbashing was required! Added in a few candles, nooses, rats and whatnot as per the House Cawdor aesthetic, and swapped out the fist meltas with some of the polearm combi-weapons. For the purposes of gameplay they behave as normal meltas, though to keep things simple.<br />

All in all I was pretty happy with how it turned out, it's hard to go wrong with a blue and yellow paint scheme which sets off nicely against the earlier two. It's also a decent brute to add to the force as the other Cawdor player is planning on building a Stig-Shambler - We'll have to do s beast-on-bot combat between the two gangs at some point!Mordian7thhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-52369154587395670182019-05-27T08:00:00.002-06:002019-05-27T09:17:21.563-06:00Necromunda - The Redeemer's CrusadeNext up on deck is another batch of antagonists for the Dust Falls campaign, in the form of the Redeemer's Crusade!<br />

The recent news of a Plague Zombie infestation has led the legendary incendiary himself, Klovis the Redeemer to the outskirts of Dust Falls, where he is gathering his forces in preparation to put the whole area to the torch for crimes against the Emperor. For not only are the Plague Zombies a menace that must be destroyed, anywhere so foul as to attract them in the first place will likely need a good purging!<br />

The Redeemer and Malakev are always in the forefront of the action! These models have been gathering dust for years, it was really nice to bring them out of retirement, clean them up and bring them up to date! Similarly, the rest of the models below had been sitting in bags in the Closet of Doom for years. Originally the following models were all part of my buddy Dave's Redemptionists, and were all a bit worse for wear having been just sort of tumbled together in a ziploc bag. I broke them all off their old bases and gave 'em a dip in Simple Green to take them down to bare metal.<br />

As these models were all used to great effect against me over the years, I knew right away that I wanted to recreate his paint scheme as an homage to absent companions.

The last three models provide a bit of mid-tier shooting, with a pair of shotguns and an autogun. I realized at the end that there's a woeful lack of flame weaponry here, just the single exterminator pack and the Redeemer's holy eviscerator. I'll have to trawl the web for a couple additional models to address that concern!<br />
<br />
All in all a fun project modernizing an old group of models, albeit a somewhat bittersweet one. It was good to reminisce about old times with Dave while I was trying to recreate his paint scheme on his old gang, and it feels like a good way to honor his memory. Miss ya, buddy.<br />

After remaining hidden the previous session, the Delaque gang known as The Strangers made themselves known in a tunnel skirmish against the Escher gang the Militia of Eth Ridge. (Unfortunately, this being a learn-to-play game between the new Delaque player and myself, I sadly didn't get any pics of the other games being played during this round). The initial whiff of things to come appeared on the various tables in the form of a single plague zombie wandering about causing trouble. The players scoffed at their antics until it came time to try and put them down - In the house rules for the Plague Zombies, they ignore Pinning, Flesh Wounds and Serious Injury results from shooting attacks and are only removed with an Out of Action result (headshots). In hand to hand, they similarly ignore flesh wounds, but are removed on a Serious Injury or Out of Action result. In the end single zombies didn't prove to be much of a threat to the players, but they began to realize the danger larger groups might pose in future sessions!<br />

Week four saw the Strangers in a Stand Off against the Arc Welder's Local 419 for the salvage rights to a Collapsed Dome, with the Orlocks taking the field and subsequently setting off a minor collapse when attempting to work the territory for riches.<br />

<br />
A Border Dispute between the technologically savvy 2nd Shift Linemen and the less sophisticated but far more numerous Light of the Emperor's Benediction ended with the Van Saars securing the services of the Rogue Doc previously employed by the Cawdor. Rumors persist that threats of power outages were sufficient to convince the Doc to change loyalties. Further rumors suggest that the Van Saar gang subsequently sold off one of their juves to the religious fanatics. Whether this was a craven deal for credits or a long-term ploy to embed an informant into the scrofulous group remains to be seen.<br />

The other Cawdor gang Meticulosa Nomen engaged in a Tunnel Skirmish with the Escher Cult of Woe, with the Emperor-botherers pulling off a win in the dank tunnels. No territory was exchanged in the scuffle, with both groups battered and bloodied afterwards. The corpse pits shepherded by the Cawdor were rapidly filling as several gangers and juves met their untimely end in this cycle!<br />

<br />
Rumors abounded of a massive beast making its lair in one of the Old Ruins and several gangs banded together to hunt the creature. The 2nd Shift Linemen had noted several power outages where the creature appeared to be boring through solid metal and rock, severing cable runs and causing rolling blackouts. The two house Cawdor Gangs also arrived for the hunt, as their solemn duty to purge the underhive of the foul beast!<br />
<br />

<br />
To the distress of the gangs involved, the disturbance also appeared to have stirred up more plague zombies, and four of the foul shamblers were spotted in the area. One of the Meticulosa Nomen's freshly-inducted juves was assaulted by one of the zombies, and in a show of fraternity, the crossbow-wielding member of the Light of the Emperor's Benediction selflessly fired a krak grenade into the melee to save their erstwhile ally. However, the shooter's aim was less true than their loyalty to the Emperor, and poor Novice Aleph the 2nd was blasted to giblets. Calls of duplicity and perfidy were shouted and the teamwork between the gangs began to break down...<br />

<br />
As the groups nervously approached the fifth potential locations, there was a rumble of splintering stone and steel as the towering beast heaved itself up to street level. A massive Ambull roared its irritation at the disturbance and launched itself into the surrounding hunters, swatting several aside with sweeps of its massive claws!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The three gangs moved in, pumping round after round into the monstrosity, with it shrugging off the majority of the damage. Luckily, the Van Saar rad-phage weaponry managed to weaken the beast and after a running gunfight they finally managed to bring it crashing to the pavement. The records suggest the creature isn't native to Necromunda, so where had the Ambull come from? Was it mere coincidence that the zombie infestation also appeared to be further entrenched in the area? It remains to be seen - Stay tuned for the next issue!<br />
<br />
All in all it was a very fun weekend, unfortunately we were down a couple players due to scheduling conflicts. We're all looking forward to the session next month, which is scheduled to be Carnivale! Numerous events pitting the gangs against one another in contests of skill, speed and acumen, plus the unveiling of the THUNDERCUBE!!! await the players - Gonna be a good time!<br />

There are eight players in the campaign, each of whom has a specific pin color associated with them on the campaign map, which was replicated on the various fighters.<br />

They're all armed reasonably similarly, with an autopistol and some sort of horrible rending/chopping/tearing weapon. Carnage ahoy!<br />

Bull Gorg is one of my oldest remaining models, I'd built him for use in my original Necromunda campaigns back in the mid-90's. Made from an old metal fantasy ogre, a couple huge chainswords from the 54mm Inquisitor range and some odds and ends he is a beast of a model.<br />
<br />
From a narrative standpoint, following the events of the THUNDERCUBE!!!, Bull Gorg will lead an uprising and will subsequently rampage around the map causing a ruckus until they either make it off the map or are stopped by the various player's gangs. Should be a good time!Mordian7thhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-23909517548055038222019-05-01T07:24:00.002-06:002019-05-01T07:24:58.927-06:00Necromunda - Downhive Dispatch #1Over the last month or so I've been beavering away at setting up a Necromunda campaign for a group of local gamers and it came to fruition in the first session of "Down and Out in Dust Falls".

The fragile peace between the great houses was shattered recently, as simmering tensions finally came to a head. Gangs representing five of the six houses were reported to be engaging in open warfare in the environs around the Abyss, with the notable exception of the scions of House Delaque. Sources suggest that while the rest of the houses aggressions are overt, it is folly to assume the Delaques were not also scheming behind the scenes.<br />

Early in the month The 2nd Shift Linemen of House Van Saar and the Muses of Boom of House Escher faced off in the industrial wastelands and the Van Saar subsequently lodged an OSHA violation complaint about the lack of hand railings following the unfortunate injuries suffered by several of their number falling from various bridges and ledges.<br />

The Muses of Boom and the 2nd Shift Linemen once again skirmished in the underways below a liquid nitrogen storage facility, an area fraught with danger but lucrative rewards, marking the beginning a long-term feud between the two Houses.<br />

<br />
The Light of the Emperor's Benediction, a splinter sect of House Cawdor, ambushed their fellow house gang Meticulosa Nomen but didn't manage to pin down their erstwhile foes, and instead snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As the cycle drew to a close, the balance of power remained fairly stable with no one House gaining significant territory increases or losses. House Goliath and House Cawdor as a whole maintain a strong grip on the area due to the increased number of gangs operating on their behalf, but interniceine skirmishing prevented either House from capitalizing on the fact...<br />

Took a while to go through the 200+ pictures I took and discard the 100+ that were blurry junk (I really need to bring a monopod to the shows). In any case, brace yourself for pictures - I'll be putting up some of the better ones here, the link to the full gallery is below!<br />

Sadly, I was so excited to be playing and had such a good time that I neglected to even take any pictures of the first two ZM games I played on Thursday. Suffice it to say they were rather epic! The third game however I remembered to snap some pics as the World Eaters rampaged their way through a bunch of really awesome Squats!<br />

<br />
The second game was against the forces of the perfidious Eldar, and the World Eaters felt supremely confident that they would annihilate the pointy-eared gits.<br />
<br />

<br />
However, perfidy in fact ensued and the Eldar first strike was murderous to the point of absurdity with the World Eaters being washed off the table in a hail of star- and d-cannon fire. Holy cow are 7th ed. Eldar nasty! Was a great game nonetheless, and simply cemented the Eldar as a hated foe for the Legions!<br />

Day 3 - Necromunda!<br />

<br />
On Saturday I was rather excited to participate in a Necromunda event that I was initially a bit apprehensive about (it being listed as a 'tournament', not my usual cup of tea), but all fears were assuaged once I met the players and the organizer ran through the rules of the day. Each table had its own special scenario, all of which were rather entertaining. The first game had some spooky events happening and the gangers had to pass cool checks to avoid panicking.<br />
<br />

<br />
The second game was set in the ash wastes where the Guilders were ambushed by a group of Orlocks. It went poorly for the forces of Count DeMonet, but thematically he used them to save his own corpulent hide as he made his escape!<br />
<br />

<br />
The third game took place in a railyard with a group of Goliaths looking to raid the caravan, but Mr. Hand's terrifying marksmanship and Brother Hameln's fuzzy army of bomb rats held the slabheads at bay long enough for Count DeMonet to sleaze his way to another day.<br />
<br />

<br />
I was quite honored to be presented a second best painted award for Count DeMonet's Guilder Caravan and Traveling Show, and am definitely planning on incorporating aspects of the tournament to the upcoming Necromunda campaign I'll be running locally!<br />
<br />
There are dozens and dozens of further pictures from the event <a href="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Adepticon2019/Adepticon2019.htm" target="_blank">HERE </a>including a bunch of shots from the armies on parade area which were spectacular this year!All in all it was a fantastic trip, especially knowing I'm not going to be able to attend NOVA this year due to a scheduling conflict. Boo!

Tons of work piled up while I was away however and I haven't had time to upload all the thoughts and pictures from the event. That doesn't mean I haven't gotten any hobby time in though! One of the things I'd picked up in the dealer room while out in Chicago was the primarch of the World Eaters, Angron! I couldn't wait to get stuck in with him, and I had a blast painting him up!<br />

In looking at the pictures one always finds things to improve. At this blown-up scale the freehand work is pretty ropy, I'm thinking I need to go back over them with some weathering to cover some of the more egregious sloppy bits and give them a bit more hammered and beaten look, but overall I'm quite pleased with how this mentalist turned out!<br /><br />
Hoping to get a post-adepticon pic dump up soon, turns out I took over 200 pictures so it's taking a bit to go through 'em!Mordian7thhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-28040170273266730702019-03-26T17:27:00.001-06:002019-03-26T18:09:25.169-06:00Necromunda - Count DeMonet's Guilder Caravan and Traveling Show ready for Adepticon!Last finishing touches complete for the Adepticon trip! I gave the event packet a closer read-through and realized my assumptions were a little off for the Necromunda event, and as such I had some extra credits to spend on building out Count DeMonet's Guilder Caravan and Traveling Show. Figured I ought to snap a few pics before they got packed away in the case...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The whole crew ready to made a trip to the Underhive! Really jazzed with how they turned out - While they may not be super effective, they definitely have a ton of character! Played a few more games locally with them to get a better handle on the rules and work out any kinks in the crew list that needed addressing before the event.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/Guilders/CountDeMonetCrew%20(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/Guilders/CountDeMonetCrew%20(2).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Dug up the prior incarnation's cargo skiff/flying carpet and rebased it to act as a gang relic/objective marker should the scenario call for it. Count DeMonet had a few equipment tweaks and now carries a hot-hot laspistol and a stiletto sword cunningly disguised within his walking cane!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/Guilders/CountDeMonetCrew%20(3).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cold-moon.com/40k/Miniatures/Necromunda/Guilders/CountDeMonetCrew%20(3).jpg" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Of the two champions, Dr. Whirlygig was pretty much spot-on and has been a stand-out in every scenario he's taken part in. Some combat drugs coupled with the Count's Overseer skill and he's a cavalcade of pain! I did have to build and speed paint a replacement Mr. Hand, as his previous incarnation was carrying way too much superfluous weaponry. The addition of the Mono-sight and a clip harness should keep him well out of harm's way while still blasting opponents with wild abandon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The husband and wife team of Harry the Hump and Minka the Ninker don't get much glory on the table but they consistently survive the encounters and keep the pressure on their opponents while the more flashy members of the team do the dirty work.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Two new gunslingers were added to the roster each bringing some short ranged but powerful weapons. Biceps McSixpack is a danger to himself and others with his plasma pistol, while Frellin' Tom's hand flamer packs a big template in a small pistol!<br />
<br />

<br />
Another addition to the crew is the Squat adventurer Stump Chunkman, whose bolter always seems to run out of ammo on the very first pull of the trigger. Luckily he's no slouch with a mallet! The ratskin scout Eats Bad Fungus is a perennial favorite, sneaking up along the sides before blasting away with his shotgun or stealthily skewering sentries as the situation calls for. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Last but not least is Brother Hameln and his bomb rats. Not once has his furry little ordnance managed to do anything but be comic relief, however I just can't help but take him in the list!<br />
<br />

<br />
Decided to do a reversed paint scheme on the pair, one in yellow/red and one in red/yellow. Pretty jazzed with how they turned out, and am quite looking forward to doing another pair. Two is good, that means four is better, right?<br />
