Isolation

The country is officially in lockdown.....







All the things I'll never see
All the things I'll never be
All there is that's left for me
Is here in this eternity
Of isolation 






The cavalcade, the jamboree
Of life, I thought was meant for me 
I never dreamed that it would be 
Replaced by this eternity 
Of isolation 






All the things I'll never see
All the things I'll never be
All my hopes are memory
All there is that's left for me
Is isolation 



So the big boy is coming along, one question remains 



Claws (A bit of everything) 


Guns (Shadowsword Heavy Bolters) 


or Talons (D6 Talons for the Barbed Heirodule rules) 

















Down the Rabbit Hole - Necromunda Campaign



Tested Necromunda on Blackstone Tiles.

As Vorne gathered the fighting force of the cult outside the access way for they were going to take the Smelting works tonight. They would have to come down in 4 separate groups in the shitty old access elevator. Vorne led the first group down with herself, Ribalt and Reek bearing their Flag.

As Vorne got down to the generators floor she planted the flag before sending Ribalt out in front to scout the area. Not long after her beautiful child led down the next group. Razzle and Sable would be soon to follow with the next two groups. Before they could arrive however gunshots echoed out down the corridor.

Quickly she had everyone fan out down the tunnels, sprinting out in front as she rounded the corner she was met head on. As she parried the first blade with her chainsword before being lost in a swirl of madness as their offhand blade came slicing through. This left her facing yet another assailant with two blades dancing before her. Another parry and visions of horrors untold as she stepped back bracing herself for another round. Fwoooosh. Riegar had managed to catch them both in flamer as she stepped bringing the girl to her knees. The Pit King had small chuckle as he shrugged off the flames before eating a face full of bullets from the rest of her crew rounding the corner. Two swift sweeps of Death's blade and she moved on to find new prey.

All Set Up

Over on the other side of the tunnels Shysaleeeshka was truely a Demon as she ripped through the bounty hunters one by one. Attracted by the blood an access pipe was ripped open as a massive tentacle started hunting for food. Ribalt managed to just make an escape, the others on both sides were not so lucky.

As the bounty hunters called the retreat Vorne smiled, finally the cult had caught a good break. Disheartened however for it seems the day had come at cost as Sibles body was dragged down the access pipe. One unfortunate piece of scum had been left behind and alive. Dragging him back to the flag she drew a ritual circle. As an offering for helping her child grow she gave the scums life and soul over to the changer of ways, he who would lead them to a new world. As an exchange of gifts she was given knowledge, darker more quicker access to the profane arcane skills.


Post Victory Shot


On a side note some of the players have given me some photos of their gang leaders to show some of the opposition I am up against. Below is the Leader of the Tallow Town Compact, the Venator gang I faced in the above scenario.



And here is Kotton Mouth, the Kotton Mouth kids being the only gang with a backstory more messed up than mine.




More on the Kotton Mouth Kids and their owners past gangs can be found below, the Klown Goliaths hes selling are certainly worth a look at, top notch paint job on those joker faces:

As well as my arch rival in the campaign so far, the Cawdor gang Dustmen and their leader the "Nameless One"


For more of the Dustmen and Bunders other works can be found here:

Last but not least here is Ilych Kuznetsov Leader of the Belorusskata Trade Outpost and the rest of his gang.


















sebby_brush is the instagram account of the other frequent player but he doesn't have any photos of his gang yet. If you see some genestealer cultists go up then that will likely be his gang or part of it.

OP Shopping for Terrain



Sump Overflow Outlet

So inspired by the likes of Eric's Hobby Workshop and Bard's Craft I decided it wouldn't be to hard to make some terrain. My son was amazed by their work and wanted to get started right away so we went to his "doodle draws" and started looking for some suitable stuff. For my piece I got a piece of cardboard to be the base a toilet paper roll, a plastic cup and some popsicle sticks. This made my general shape and I got some toothpicks to make a ladder as Necromunda does require ladders to move between floors in most cases.


Quick and Easy from around the house

I decided it was a sump overflow outlet. At the same time I found a billboard in amongst a bag of toys he got given from the OP shop. I took the stickers off and gave it some new designs instead.




The following weekend we upped our game and went out to the OP shops so we could build something bigger and more like what Eric was doing followed by a trip to the hardware store to get some wood to make some more stable bases for the terrain. Unfortunately I walked and there wasn't any wood thin enough or small enough that I could see. However on my way back to the exit I cut through the bathroom section where I found some cork floor tiles (Why anyone would put Corkboard tiles in their bathroom is beyond me).

4 OP Shops Later

Pulled apart with a screwdriver and then partially reassembled


Back home I found some slightly thicker cardboard and was able to try combat the curving on the base of my sump outlet. It was also used with my corkboard to start making the next pieces.


A post went up on the club as someone was looking to re-home some old terrain that needed to be repainted and didn't match his current set up, so lucky me I got some rocks.

FREE!!!


This is where I am at now with the OP shop terrain, it needs some wear and tear and some paint on the small piece, the big piece has a long way to go. Sadly when trying to turn the hotwheels booster start point thing into a moving lift the super glue was too runny and I glued the lift into a fixed position. So much for good ideas. Probably would have broken while being used anyway.


50 Shades of Grey

These are rocks resurfaced and repainted to match the sump outlet. I am also making some TTCombat terrain and not sure how I should paint the buildings to match the rest of table. More on these later once they are built.


Pathfinder Zombie for Scale.

The other thing I am considering is varnishing the terrain but I don't want to use my Matte Varnish that I put on my models as it will be damm costly but also concerned the car varnish I have will be too gloss (At some point I might have to post the refurbished Pig my Mother requested for Christmas).

Its a Tall Task
