So there I was, planning to paint up my Hive Scum when I suddenly realised I needed to get a board together for my Necromunda game on Wednesday. Previous, we’d played on a regular skirmish board which was fun but this time I’m tempted to try something a little closer to the tunnel scraps that Necromunda is designed for in some ways. I don’t have an industrial set, but I do have a load of these adobe compounds from Sarissia. By assembling the rest of them, I think I have a big enough board for a scrap. Will finish the…

All the scum are assembled and painting is begun. I was planning on getting more done but ended up having to do other things in the evening. I also tried to go write the cards for my band of “Regulators” but alas, Yaktribe was having issues. Hopefully better luck tomorrow. Also I did my monthly update, only a third of my way into the month. Whoops.

Busy day playing RPGs and board games for a friend’s birthday event but managed to assemble the other three Vigilantes for Necromunda. More Anvil parts – the welder mask I particularly like was lurking in the D-Day release. Gave them a mix of light and cheap weapons, so hopefully it’s easy to squeeze a group of them into a game. Tomorrow I’m going to start painting them, as well as making up the statlines and names for each.

The Necromunda campaign that I assembled my Enforcers for is finally starting (only a year and bit later than planned) and so I have begun preparing for my first game next week. However, the other part of the campaign is a competition to build up a pile of Hive Scum. I’ve decided to dive into the pile of Anvil Industries 3D printed parts and pulled out some ideal parts for the inhabitants of giant space station. My rough idea is a group of vigilantes “inspired” by the lawlessness of the station and deciding to take matters into their own hands.…

Well it’s happened. The Big Reveal of the shadow evil form of the Empress’s Hound’s Big Bad Guy occured. I guess I have two weeks to get the game piece size painted up. Seeing as I need him to be doing much more than just standing around being menacing. In other news, we got to talking about scale about 3d printing some of the new figures and how Combat Octopus is slightly under scale compared to Spectre and Turnbase Miniatures. Inspired by this talk, I decided to try out printing them at 110%. Unfortunately for me, I think the rescale…

This is maybe a little bit of a spoiler for upcoming adventures, so I’m going to hide the details behind the Read More. Otherwise, just know I did some hobby!

My figures for Wednesday’s game are now (mostly) complete – I just need to do their basing material. Using Northstar’s Lich pair, I’ve painted them up slightly differently, going for the Imperial Red as a hint for their purpose. The Gem? Well, we’ll see on Wednesday…
