Ash Waste Necromunda

It's been a few years since I last played Necromunda so I thought I'd get some mates playing an Ash Wastes campaign at a local club. It didn't take much convincing as everybody loves Mad Max or Fallout.

So, I have until March to get me a gang and transport together. Here's what I have so far:

Leader:

Back

Shotgun ganger:

Back

Close combat ganger:

Back

The gang are styled off the raiders from Fallout 3 and eventually I'll have all the raider armours (blastmaster, painspike, sadist, badlands) represented.

Buggy:


Right hand side
Rear

Buggy is still a WiP. Needs a lot of gap filling and the rear finishing off before I cover it in stowage and add a fixed weapon and crew.

I love the buggy, where did you get the back suspension from on the buggy?

Gawd I must get my hands on the Necromunda rulebook and start collecting! I LOVE the Fallout 3 inspired pieces, and I imagine I would strive for that look too. Great work, indeed! Now, can we expect a castrated super-mutant or maybe Harold, the ghoul?

Da Bank: the rear suspension assembly uses the mount for a Guard dozer blade, a lot of plastic rod and some coiled wire for springs.

Opheliate: I might make a supermutant at some point to count as an Ogryn Bodyguard although they are very expensive to hire so I'll have to hope I get lucky with income.

This looks great, Catferret. The axe wielding thug is a lovely touch. All I can say is bravo.

What gang will these be used as? Nomads?

VERY COOL STUFF! I have a couple issues of the Necromunda Fanzine that featured Ash Waste articles, GREAT STUFF, VERY Mel Gibson...how can you go wrong?! Good luck with the campaign & keep up the GOOD WORK!

Andy: Likely a house gang (Goliath or Orlock) exiled to the Ash Wastes for some transgression against their superiors. Higher quality vehicle was "borrowed" on their way out. House gangs in the Ash Wastes are poorer at scavenging but get more territories so hopefully I'll be able to afford their upkeep.

Deaf: Thanks. I have all the Ash Wastes Necromunda Magazines as well and shall be stealing some of the designs for bikes from them when I get round to making some. There are some great conversions in those magazines.

Looks like I will need to so some converting down the road when we put the vehicle rules in for Death Squads. I already started on a landspeeder but it is the earlier model and not the one you used. Thanks for the tip, I will have to locate those bits.

I would love to have a copy of the original AW articles. I used to have them but lost them over the years.

In his Project AT thread, lord siwoc drew my attention to the UBERCOOL stuff for Nuclear Renaissance...might work well in the Wastes: http://shop.ramshacklegames.co.uk/

How about using a model from Ogre Kingdoms as base, then convert from there? I think their posture and size are perfect

Very nice model conversions... and the vehicle is to die for! SQUISH! Keep us informed!

Cheers guys.

Started work on the first of 2 bikes for the gang. Used the centre section of a Dark Eldar Jetbike, some plasticard and old Imperial Guard weapon carriage wheels. I included a ganger in the pic for a sense of scale.

VERY COOL set of wheels...reminds me of the Combat Zone bikes. NICE WORK!

That's a sweet ride. I'll be following this thread with enthusiasm.

The bike is awesome!!!!

Another source for cool vehicles & minis that would work well in the Ash Waste setting are the pieces from Alpha Forge Games: http://www.alphaforgegames.com/homepage.html .

Well if your going Mad Max stile make sure you get a Mel Gibbs guy, with a shotgun as thats his weapon in the move. In your fluff he has to be the driver of the buggy

Please excuse the dark pics but the skies are still quite dull here.

Buggy is now finished barring a driver and gunner.







Suppose I'd better get some more work done on the gangers...

VERY COOL! I LOVE the detailing on the suspension. All the gear stowed aboard give it the proper feel for an Ash Waste Vehicle. VERY WELL DONE!
I'm definitely looking forward to your progress pics.

PURE WIN!!!

Wow! That is a piece of art, if you can find the Halo Clix Warthog it can a good stand in for a buggy also. It is just slightly bigger but it could work.

Keep making more as I love looking at the pics.

Some times I wonder if it's even worth trying to figger out how to post my crudy paint jobs and converts. This is... well.... it's.... THE BEST FRIGGEN THING I HAVE EVER SEEN ON THIS FOURM!!!!!!! Oh and is that a steel legion RPG pack I see on the top?

It's always worth posting your work as it allows people to provide constructive criticism so you can improve.

Well spotted on the Steel Legion part. I had a couple of those ammo packs in my bits box that I got in a bag of random stuff one day.

Da Bank: I'm not sure how big the Haloclix thing is but this buggy is certainly a hefty beast itself. It's almost 120mm long, and 60mm from floor to top of the spotlights. The Landspeeder Storm is a big kit.

Ha I just saw cause I have some steel legion IG. I think I might go for some ash wasters myself. Nomads and the Trukers I think and may be some Squats

(EDIT: Oh and have you started on the Mel gibs dirver?)

Great pic of a warthog conversion for 40K
