The Underhive

Иногда я бываю очень одержим определенной "темой". Отсюда и большое количество так и не завершенных проектов в этом блоге. Но некоторые темы цепляют на долго и не хотят отпускать даже через года, то и дело возвращаясь. Одна из них это горячо любимая мной Некромунда, которую мы с Витей Knight'ом опробовали впервые уже больше 10 лет назад. Для нее в различное время было сделано несколько банд, собрано большое количество террейна.

Потому я с большой радостью и энтузиазмом воспринял новости о возрождении культового скирмиша про мрачный мир банд подулья.

Sometimes i can be very obsessive. That explains a lot of unfinished projects over here. But sometimes this obsession carries itself through years. One of them i dear Necromunda, which were first played by me and Viktor a friend of mine over ten years ago. Over a years a few gangs and a number of terrain were made to play this game.

So it was a real joy to hear the news of its resurrection. Cant wait to venture into the deep underhive once more.

Так что определенную часть свободного времени я уделил выкройкам террейна подходящего для мрачных городских улиц сорокового тысячелетия.

So I spent some free time making some terrain suitable for the grim dark city of 40 millennium.

Pulphammer

Скорее подборка впечатлений, нежели полный репорт.

Отыграли пару игр по вселенной Warhammer 40k по правилам Pulp Alley. Не долго думая события отнесли к нашему скромному домашнему сектору. Первый сценарий свел двух инквизиторов в погоне за артефактами на потерпевшем бедствие грузовом судне.

Played a few games of Pulp Alley set in Warhammer 40k. In Irelia Sector, our homebrew sector, to be precise. First Scenario were centered around two inquisitorial warbands, who were hunting artefacts on a derelict space freighter.

В общем и целом, я был слишком увлечен избиванием хэнчмэнов, и позволил Жененому инквизитору забрать три из пяти сюжетных поинтов. По итогу - артефакты все равно забрала Инквизиция. Будет задел на следующую ролевку в секторе Ирелия

All in all, my league were too busy beating up opponents allies, so his sidekick and leader got 3 of 5 plot points. Inquisition got the artifacts anyway =) This will be an interresting starting point for a future adventures in Irelia.

Потратив совсем немного времени на первый сценарий, мы решили сыграть еще раз, быстро накидав банты и расставив террейн. Банды были выбраны так, что идеально подходили под последнюю ролевку по Dark Heresy. Сюжетно она также происходила на планете Мелена в секторе Ирелия, и наша партия распутывала детективную историю в то время, когда на планете начиналось анти-имперское восстание. Думаю именно такая стычка мятежников под предводительством поклонников хаоса и имперской гвардии могла иметь место.

First game were quick, so we gathered terrain and new leagues for another game. It happened, that leagues chosen were ideal match for our last Dark Heresy campaign. It were set on planet Melena in Irelia Sector. Players were uncovering a detective plot in the middle of rebellion. So a league of imperial guardsmen and league of cultists were a perfect choice to play some events of this rebellion.

И снова Женя обошел меня по сюжетным точкам. Хотя надо сказать, что попробовал новые способности из книги Палп Эллей я остался доволен. За игру я не потерял ни одного гвардейца, хотя хаоситы очень старались отправить их на тот свет пулями и магией.

Once again my opponent won by plot points. Tried a few abilities i did not used before. And it was very effective, as I did not lost a single guardsman.

Так же, вот что я нашел в почтовом ящике пару недель назад. Забавно как можно добавить в настольный варгейм элементы ККИ.

Also, this arrived a few weeks ago. Funny how you can add a tradable card game elements in a tabletop wargame.

Space Hulk Laser Cut Style

Some grim dark corridors. Supposed to be space hulk style terrain for gaming and roleplaying purposes.

Laser Cut Fun Again

British coastal patrol boat for Victorian Warfare Project. Here with crew of Vostroyan Firsborn. This fellas shure missed their setting.

Blast door for a Non-Zone-Mortalis tiles.

Laser Cut Corridors WIP

These genestealers now have a non-zone mortalis corridors to stalk in the dark. Blast doors are soon to be added to scenery.

Inq28 Crew

Some progress on Inq28 Rogue Trader crew.

Rogue Trader Bartholomew Kidd (working name), wielding some unknown xenos artifact in his hand. Pretty happy how he turned out, gonna write him some backstory soon.
The second one is arch-militant. Modelled to overlook the landscape with the map from cadian comand box in his hand.
The third character in my party will be the heretical Techpriest, but i did not started him yet.

My friend Nimrod also wanted me to make some of the ships crewman for his campaign to be my NPCs, and so i did. The very early wip of first two armsmen with shotgun and autogun and a foreman with chainsword and laspistol. I want to model this guys after imperian navy crew:

That means i need some bionics, and (maybe) a trenchcoat for a foreman. Three dudes half ready, three to go - another one with shotgun, one with hand cannon and a sword and the last one with flamethrower + 2 worker servitors for techpriest.

Flu and Warhammer

Flu gave me opportunity to what is called "paint some minitures" (more like cover them in paint in my caze).

Deadly Officio Assassinorum operative, and my current alter ego from DH campaign - Lucretia Dannica, a void born, 20 y.o. psyker. Not really pleased with the latter, must ask someone to improve my paintjob.

Two cute familiars for whatever needs i have. One of them - from the new Deathwing Terminator box, and its awesome, so much bitz for converting!

Some WIP shots of Rogue Trader and comrade for friends Inq28 campaign that is comming soon. Master Holt from Warmachine just gives the impression of a Rogue Trader i need. I only added the cutlass to right hand yet, but i have plans for a book in the left. His buddy is a possible Arch Militant of the party. In fact i only scrapped the space wolves head with eyepatch (not clearly visible on photo), when i realised that its a perfect match for a old sea wolf look.

Little Red Riding Hood

Latest laser cut designs are about to be manufactured by now, im getting my hands on them at the beginning of a next week. For now  I'll just torture you with one of my resent paintings.

Adeptus Mechanicus Magos, Quasi-heretek, Lady Benezia.
As always i blame the picture and my crooked hands, as she is not so grim dark in real life.

Sketch

I needed a suitable mentor for players to appear in Dark Heresy campaign that I hope to GM soon.
Unnamed (at this point) Ordo Hereticus inquisitor with almost radical beliefs, yet she is about to burn anyone who dare to make such accusations.

I highly base the model on Inquisitor Adrastia from Dawn of War: Retribution, so i will need to do much sculpting, or (which is much more probable) i will find a better sculptor than me to have the work done.

Pocahontas and Hatico

I found few guys in our community willing to play some Necromunda. And as i play mainly Escher i found myself in need to make some female Hired Guns. I was pretty much lucky to find a beautiful Reaper miniature sculpted by Werner Klocke in my bitz box.

Ratskin scout conversion. Her name is Matoaka, and she is only half a ratskin. Her mother was raped in past by a filthy british colonist uphive invader, and gave a birth to a girl. Though Matoaka was raised with all the traditions of her people, there were little that tied her to the tribe after the death of mother.
She started the life of a mercenary, utilizing her knowledge of underhive nature. Eventually she met her father, gathering his scalp and his skull in the process.
Maybe the model don't have all the native american look, but i like the result. The rats from Queek Headtaker base came in handy too.

Thats something i wanted to do for a long time now. A Cybermastiff, based on a conversion i found in the web. I call him Hatico.

More terrain for terrain god! Billboards for Necromunda/Infinity. Gonna make a ladders and maybe lower the railings for a section.
