Raindog Posted August 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 So, I set the habs blocks out to try in the sun. The models were still a bit tacky from being sprayed late last night. My porch has alternating sun and shadow as the day passe and today is not very hot, so I did not worry about it . I have never had problems with this before, but today, the tops warped as they dried. The pieces are made to have playable interiors and working doors. I think part of the issue is I did not coat the under side of the roof (lids). The plastic curled towards the top. So, I sprayed the bottom side and decided the models with just be solid with out the playable interiors. I moved them to cure in the basement after assembling the pieces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted August 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 11 minutes ago, Jay said: Good to see you working on stuff again! I have to admit, it is good to me creating again. It is fun to make Necromunda Terrain. it is like playing with Lego and mud. My daughter wants to help and said how cool the rusty pieces look. She remember going to Ordo on terrain day and help rusting up quonset huts back in the day. Now, that I back to work, I have forgotten how exhausting it is, but hopefully, I can keep up the energy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 And I painted, one coat, 35 minutes of brown on three buildings. I am trying an over-wash technique with a large, sloppy brush with directional strokes. Then, I hit the cracks and grooves with a smaller brush. Tomorrow, if I have the time and energy, I will mix Mournfang Brown to the mix to see what happens. Boltgun metal si supposed to be dry brushed over that, so I am curious to see if this works.

Raindog Posted August 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 And on list building, I am going to try a cheap as chips version, but it seems a bit foolish to rob the Squats of their strengths aka their gear. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted August 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 So how about Carpace Armour on the Gang Leader? It is seems super hard to achieve later down the road? Should juves even start with armour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 ***OPINION WARNING*** Your leader is critical to your gang functioning. I say protect them as much as you can afford. I would also avoid tooling them up with too much, avoid having them be your combat workhorse. Use them as anchors for fire teams or launch points for combat squads. Juves are a mixed bag. In a long campaign where they can actually accumulate XP they work out great. But in a standard 7 week Dominion Campaign they never see their potential. I generally give mine a pistol or sumsuch, and use them as objective grabbers and distractions. It's really optimistic to assume they'll actually do anything that requires a die roll. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted September 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 Some awesome guy printed of a punch of these 50 by 50ml bulkheads for me. There are 5 different styles and are a good size to to create half levels and vertically to a game board. Each takes a few minutes to clean bd I will be using the back to back as the reverse side is blank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted September 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 I went to Brehk’s last night and finished up this piece. It needs a clear coat over it, but the Coronavirus came for a visit last night and now I am isolating upstairs. No hobby time for me.

izak.lazarowski Posted September 6, 2022 Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 Its my understanding that the prospectors are similar to Goliath in the boys/toys debate and I play Goliath a fair amount. Conventional wisdom says that Goliath really want 7 bodies when founding a 1000 credit gang. More bodies are always helpful (especially if you get unlucky early in a campaign) but 7 boys and their toys seems to be the balancing point for most Goliath players. I haven't played Prospectors but my sense is that their advantage is quality over quantity. My sense is that you could drop both diggers or a digger and a drill kin to upgrade some gear. I don't really KNOW that is the right answer but its food for thought. Here is a link to my starting Goliath roster, if it helps at all.https://yaktribe.games/underhive/gang/re-cast.292844/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted September 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 Thank you for the advice. Your argument backs up my instincts I will play with the list a bit more. As to your list, it looks powerful and flexible. On Yaktribe, do you know how to make a Prospector list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izak.lazarowski Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 I don't think they have the prospectors fleshed out yet on Yaktribe. Yaktribe is a fantastic resource, unfortunately because it's updated/operated by the community it can sometimes be a loooooong wait before a new book gets implemented. I'm still waiting on the outcasts. I think it's taking extra long because the last two books have also been pretty heavy on the new rules! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Malo doesn't have a chance of keeping up with the current release schedule.https://game-datacards.eu/ this site has a good card builder for necromunda gangers and vehicles. It won't track campaign stuff or do math for you though, so you're back to an old fashioned spreedsheet or pen and paper there. Worth poking around in, though!

Raindog Posted September 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Ok, I feel the least like poop soup in week, so I painted for a few hours. One of the hab units is almost done. The brass work needs to be dirtied up and the sign needs a name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted September 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 And, another hab unit is done. Yes, these are cruddy cell phone pictures. But, with the forest fires, the light is crappy. Remember when Citadel Colour, aka GW Paint, was S1.99? I do! The color is Ruby Red. I bought this paint pot sometime around 2000, and look! The paint is still good! What do you think? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted September 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 I am almost done with the third hab unit. This time, The contrast color is green instead of red. Dark Angels is the base with Lothen Green and Plague Flesh as the highlights. The rust on the building is never quite the same even though I try to use the same technique. This is the rust effect I am going for. It is what I see in the PNW. I base layer with red jabbing down with a crappy, small flat brush. I mix in a lighter red. Then, I add orange to red. Then, I start orange layers and add yellow to the mix. I have rust effect and orange ink. The rust effects I picked up at Dice Age years ago. The ink is GW. Some areas are just ink. Some are rust effect. Some are both. I have been adding other washes for browns and blacks, even greens. I add the washes at different times to give the process a layered over time look. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted September 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 This is not a Scott S. print. The top hatch did not come out well. It is does well for picking up the ink. The front of the building. It is taking me awhile to relearn to paint green, but it is coming around. A kitbashed end of the hab. The eagle turned out well. The other end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
