Necromunda is NecroFUNda

Here is a picture of my Necromunda board with various donated scenery. This is the same board that was previously seen in a different post as a pile of foam. Most of the terrain that I've made is in the lower left corner of the picture. Hopeful, I'll have more pictures of this stuff when I get it done.

We also started our Necromunda campaign this week. There have been two games played so far. I'll write more about this in the future.

I haven't done much painting lately, but I have been brainstorming on how to make my mutants for my Lost and the Damned Army.

I now have in my hands the promised Basilisk from Art. Jason gave me some Cadians which were abandoned conversion pieces. He was trying to make Space Marine scouts, so he drilled out the neck holes to accommodate Space Marine heads. The finished scouts did look rather "Big-Headed", but I thought they worked OK. Jason said due to years of art school anatomy training, he found them just unacceptable. Fine with me because now I have a pile of bits to use for traitors and mutants.

I Also dug through my bits box and realized I have a ton of stuff for mutants. Which I good because I'm try to stick to a budget here.

The problem I'm having is I want a consistent theme throughout the mutants. I think the Games Workshop studio Lost and the Damned army looks too much like someone just dumped some glue in a bits box and just pulled out whatever. It's all too random.

After much deliberation, I decided to go with a bird themed army. Not all my mutants will be birds, just a prevalence of theme. I still want some beastmen in there for good measure. Generally, I want to my mutants to look like weird amalgamations of humans and animals. Think Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights in the 40K universe and you'll get the idea.

I'm just trying to figure out how to do bird heads. I'm going o see if I can get my hands on some Kroot heads and use some green stuff to extend the beaks slightly.

Speaking of mutants, I got scammed on eBay a couple of weeks ago. I scored two blisterpacks of Flamers of Tzeetch for under $6 bucks. They were that cheap partly because the person lived in Chicago and agreed for me to do a pick-up instead of paying for shipping. I'll never do that again. Mainly because it's a total pain to coordinated schedules with a person whom you've never met and takes forever to return calls. I should have just paid the 5 bucks or whatever he was asking to spare myself the aggravation. That's not even the worst of it. The ad promised four new style Flamers of Tzeetch. As it turned out, it was two new style and two old. As far as cost goes, I'm still ahead. Archive miniatures are damn expensive. The rub being of course that I didn't ask for archive miniatures, but I got them anyway.

I'll leave you with this final picture of my friend Art's new Tattoo. It was barely a day old and still had the bandage on it when I took this picture.


Until next time remember, ALL IS DUST!
