Throughout this project there have been a lot of false starts – models put together that for some reason just didn’t work. Some looked to my eye like a cheap …more
Necromunda Muties
System: Necromunda/Kill Team/Inq28
Techniques: Kitbashing
Status: Active
This project relit my fire for hobbying. 2022 was one of my low points – it started pretty with lots of enthusiasm for painting up the models in my classic copy of Hero Quest (a project I didn’t bother documenting on this site) but by the summer all impetus was gone and I stopped with half the models done. In the second half of the year I did basically nothing, until my local club started discussing a unique Necromunda campaign for 2023.
The arbitrator had written up some extensive background for a technologically backward planet, cut off for centuries, devolved into small townships, radiated wastelands and, of all things, turnip farms. There were plenty of suggested factions to work with but the one that I ran with was the idea of mutants and abhumans – this seemed to offer abundant conversion potential which is by far the part of the hobby I like best.
I had a theme, I had a deadline (the first campaign day would be the beginning of Feb 2023), and I had an abundance of random sprues. Let’s go.
Scales – Classic Scaly Homage
I had originally intended to include a mutant feral Ogryn in my warband but this model was one of the “false starts” I mentioned in the previous post. At some …more
Shank & Reptile
I’m posting Shank and Reptile together as they were probably the simplest and quickest models to build. Shank is a beastman. I’m not totally happy with the model, mainly as …more
Mungo & Beast
Mungo and Beast follow similar formulas. I made Beast first, and liked him so much I decided to do another one along the same lines. They’re both essentially Ash Wastes …more
Wormherd – Beastmaster Wyrd
Alongside Scales this is the most involved kitbash in the project, and perhaps ever. It’s also the one that went through the biggest change midway through. The concept here was …more
