Nomad Carl the Zone Tripper, a Necromunda Hired Gun.

So, related to my previous post about the Nomad exploration vehicle, next up is Carl, a Nomad guide, and his Mark XIII servo skull:

"The Glass Flats, The Judas Sea, I go all over"

Carl is a mysterious, almost legendary figure, a Nomad 'Zone Tripper'. He travels the most dangerous areas of the Ash Wastes with his Mark XIII servoskull, searching out the hidden locations of salvageable artifacts. He takes what he can carry back then sells his services as a guide to other Nomads of the Scrapper Guild, so they can then strip out the rest of the salvageable items for recycling and sale.

Ash Wastes Nomads Exploration Vehicle.

 As you can probably tell by the gap between updates, I'm not getting as much painting done as I really want to at the moment, but i did manage to get a vehicle finished after seeing the rumours about the Ash Wastes getting some treatment in Necromunda:

this is a follow on from my previous Ash Wastes Nomads post, so they have the start of a vehicle convoy to allow them easier travel through the wastelands. 

Not only that, but they now have a mysterious guide, Carl, but more of him later...

As usual, more pics after the cut...

Do What Thou Wilt... Perdurabo and Choronzon arrive at the Port.

Another couple of ne'er-do-wells have arrived at the Port on an unsanctioned transporter, the notorious Rogue Psyker known as Perdurabo, and his Xenos sidekick, Choronzon:

(Also, sorry for yet another long delay in updating, I've been working on commission jobs recently, and they're all fairly modern and not in keeping with the theme of the blog, so I've not bothered putting them up in here!) 

More details and photos of the models after the cut, as usual...

A Squat Inquisimunda Warband (with an unusual associate!)

Time for another fun little project, this time a small Squat warband I've just finished as a commission (hence the lack of basing, the client will be doing that.)

6 Squats, and an Eldar Trader, an unusual mix to be sure, but they work together surprisingly well I think:

 More pics and info after the cut! 

A Modern(ish) take on Ash Wastes Nomads...

This is yet another small project that got out of hand, this time I had an idea to make a model to represent an Ash Waste Nomad, but in the end I created a full warband for use in Port Imperiale or Necromunda:

The "Sump Snakes" Orlock gang and their convoy ship, the Sumpcarraldo...

Another post, so soon after the last! I'll try and keep up a more regular posting regime when I can, it helps to document what I've been up to and is a bit less transient than Facebook.

This time, it's my Orlock gang for new Necromunda, the Sump Snakes, and their convoy ship, the 'Sumpcarraldo':

Lots more photos and details after the break...

Tanglegenes and his Retinue...

Well, I've not managed to paint anything much since my last post, but finally had a couple of days at the painting desk over the Bank Holiday here in the UK, so I thought I'd show you what I've been up to...

Tanglegenes and his loyal assistants.

The Enigma of Abdul Goldberg

The mysterious Abdul Goldberg, in the flesh...

So one of the Facebook 40k groups I'm a member of, 'The Emporium of Rogue Dreams', is having a competition to make a model, background and statline for 'Abdul Goldberg', a famous villain from the early Rogue Trader days. I've spent a lot of time working out how to fit Abdul into both Rogue Trader and 'current' 40k, and so here's my background fluff. Sorry, there's a lot of it, and it probably bends canon until it makes squeaking noises, but there y'go, that's just how I roll...

"Meet the gang 'cause the boys are here - The boys to eviscerate you!"

So, Lords, ladies, gentlemen and Xenos scum, I can finally present you the brave pensioners (and only surviving members) of the 6th Mordian Regiment, also known as the 'Flying Ripperfish' (Retd.) currently on the run from the mandatory retirement planet Chel-5EA.

++ Battle Report - Incident at Actaia Majora ++

++ JMC Survey/Incident Report - Location - Actaia Majora - Date - 342940.M41 ++

Following an extended delay due to warp storms, the Long Range Survey ship 'Ari Knörr' finally arrived in orbit around our initial target, Actaia Majora. Initial orbital surveys proved disappointing, with no rare elements, profitworthy ores, or potential acquisitions to be made.

Report continues after the break...

Jamakeer Mining Corporation Long Range Survey Team 'Opila'

Again, something else completed! 

This time it's the completed survey team for my Squat Army, some of whom will be seeing service in our Inquisimunda campaign. When used in Rogue Trader, these guys will be used as the HQ, as well as a scout squad, and also a couple of specialists.

Have you got the squats? No, it's just the cut of these trousers.

Blimey, nearly a month without a post, I'd better rectify that, so have some squats:

I've not been able to get much done recently due to my spine recently deciding it didn't want to be a spine anymore, so I couldn't actually sit at my work desk and paint without it going into spasm and hurting a lot. I've just about managed to get back and able to do some painting in short sessions, so here's some of my Squat Void pirates.

More pics after the cut, if hairy midgets interest you...
