I have bougth two more tanks to my Imperial guard
and this will be a very nice punch when playing.
Eventhough this fact they are not ready yet.
I got an advice from my friend Christian to make
the weapon-system magnetized to make the tanks
versatile and open up a variety of options.
I will not replace the frontal lasergun beside the
driver but both the turret and the sponsons(sidearms)
will be updated. In this moment I have two tanks
75% ready for the making and one 50%.
Not portrayed on the pictures I will also scratchbuild
three gatling-guns and another tank-hunter-cannons
for the turret.
On the pictures I also show my latest buy on bits and
some of these will be used on the tanks.
Last but not least I will use two heads to make two
not so nice-looking cyber-combat robots for the
Necromunda/ash-wastes.I will convert two robots
from the Warhammer 40K Tau-range for this.
Surfing on the internet I came across these nice figures.
These are Necromunda - Goliath gang-members and
from an old batch. I only paid 6 Euros for all the figures
and I thing it is a bargain.
Eventhough the arms are modular I will convert and
make these muscle-boys more permanent using some
of these bits but also from my other storage.
One bits I have already found and it is borrowed from
a space marine. This old grenade-launcher will be a
real menace to all vehicles in the wastlands and it looks
very "bad-ass" to me. :)
From this old batch I like the revolvers and the shotguns
very much but all details are nicely manufactured.
I will primarily use these figures to Necromunda/Ash wastes
but also to my own game Law and order.
Last week (birthday-week) a very nice addition arrived.
It was a order with bits mainly for my post-apocalyptic
project. The heads will be used for my bikers and to give
a more female touch.
The weapons and other goodies will be used to upgrade
and convert my catachan jungle fighters almost to a
unrecognisable result.
I also published some pictures showing my first buy
of bits to this project. Some of these plastics will be
fitted onto vehicles. Very inspirational indeed and I
have not even started building.
When playing games in a post apocalyptic scenery I want to
create a Mad max-feeling and one very important actor in this
are the bikers. They are fast and can deliver punches from
behind are no easy targets but when hit they are very vulnerable.
I have 10 singles bikes already but they are not ready for action yet.
These single-bikes only have light arms but looks great.
I really like the idea of making motorcycles with an sidecar
as a part of the game and these bikers will be able to hammer
with flamethrowers or heavy machine-guns.
I have looked at the bikes that are used in warhammer 40k and
will convert them and paint them to fit in this very hostile
world.First step in the conversion will be to swith heads and
remove as much space marines-details as possible.
I like the look of the heads on the pictures last in this report
and will paint the hairs in vivid/punk-colurs.
I bought all of these on a second hand market for 12
Euros and think they will fit in perfectly when finished.
All the weaponry is fitted with magnets and can be switched.
Very nice finds indeed.
Some weeks ago I recieved a package of bits from
a fellow gamer and some of these will be used to
create my third mean mutant to post apocalyptic
miniature-games. My other two are almost done
but still need some fixing.
I will upgrade with a scratchbuilt shopping-cart
that will be placed on the back using a chain
on one of the mutants filled with body-parts as
a "food-storage".
The cart will also be fitted with small wheels before
the lick of paint.
The latest mutant will be built with mainly tin-bits
but I am not sure which head to use!? I can use
ogre-heads from the same range as the first two
mutants or a different that is smaller but looks not
so "nice". The weapon in tin is a heavy bolter and
other in plastic is a heavy machine-gun.
I have not decided which to choose but the heavy-
bolter is kind of bad-ass deluxe! :)
Next up is my project to build elevated highways
to be used both in Necromunda and WH40k.
I think this will add an extra dimension in my games
and will also add som good industrial feeling.
The higway will be built in stand-alone pieces
and can be assembled as sketched.
I will storage these in pieces because of the limited
space in my "man-cave". All the highways will be
made of solid pine to be able endure games to come. :)
Last friday I went to buy some flower for the Mrs in my village.
In the supermarket nearby they had sales on various articles and
I made a real find. One big truck together with two small cars
for only 1.8 Euros. A bargain!!!
I plan to reconstruct both trucks and convert them into war-rigs
for Ash-wastes-gaming(Necromunda/Fallout warfare).
The roof on the trailer will be removable to place figures inside and
on top.Small hatchets will be made for fire on both sides of the
trailer. The truck itself will be fitted with a big ram/"plough"
that will be sloped and fitted with "nails/sharp sticks".
I will make some sketches further on and publish them here before
starting this project.
The rear will still be fitted with a ramp to be able to host smaller
"combat-cars inside". It will be great fun playing table-top games
using these trucks together with mechas and infantry/gangers.
