 Les caves de l'Hôtel de Ville de Virton se sont révélés un endroit idéal pour ce genre d'événement: plein de caractère et d'atmosphère. 

The "Caves de l'Hôtel de Ville" in Virton turned out to be the ideal location for this kind of event: full of character and atmosphere.

Battles in the Underhive - Escape Route

This scenario represents a failed ambush attempt by the Burger Boys, where the defending Valkyries spot the ambush before the trap is set and try to escape through the opposite table edge (published in Gang War issue 5). Here are the highlights.

 Kira and her gangers spot a few muscled boys hidden in nearby ruins. They rush towards the exit point to leave the dome.

Kor Nedbeef lets speak his heavy stubber in the direction of the grouped enemies, hitting two ladies in the process.

Chuck Undips, the juve, crossfires the Eschers from behind. More girls hit the dust.

 Noamie and Anette try another escape route but are trapped by Freak Adle and his handflamer. A nasty surprise but the girls manage to avoid the flame burst in time.

 Some of the Valkyries used the ventilation shafts to enter the battle, they do not hesitate to rain down bullets from above on the Burger Boys. The ambushers turn to be ambushed.

 In the Underhive, one deadly shot can make the difference. Faye fires her shotgun loaded with man-killer shells towards Burger King. The gang leader doesn't survive this deadly hit. Seeing their leader falling from the walkways, the Boys bottle out as fast as they came.

Goliath gang finished + hired guns

The Burger Boys are finally done. I was missing 2 juves to complete my roster. This versatile gang focuses on heavy muscle and heavy weaponry.  For future expansions, I painted up some hired guns to add variety into the game: a well known bounty hunter and a pyromaniac wyrd.

The "Burger Boys" in all their splendor !

 The pyromaniac wyrd : a psychic who played too much with firecrackers when he was a young boy.

 "Kal Consto" : a retired Arbites who turned up as a bounty hunter in the Underhive.

One building more

These are so easy to make. As I have the wall parts already cast from various ct-S kits, I just concentrate on the platforms. Using spray cans for the painting, add some rusty effects and here you are.

Hope you enjoy.

Escher gang finished

Here we are. The Eschers are done. X-Tine's gang is ready to hunt some Goliath meatballs in the underhive. Painted up the two last models this week-end ; a close combat oriented ganger and the Escher heavy with lasgun.

Necromunda - Escher juves - Goliath heavy - ruins

The urge to play a Necromunda game starts to grow a lot. I'm in the final stages of finishing of the two gangs. I painted up two juves for the Escher gang and my heavy for the Burger Boys. A new construction was also completed. Hope you enjoy.

The Underhive - First Buildings

The key to a good Necromunda game resides in a lot of constructions on the tabletop. To have a little change from painting minis, I putted an Outpost together from ct-S and made a first more Necromundan-style industrial construction. You can also see some gigantic mushrooms, who will make great cover for the gangers. Hope you like it.

Escher Gang - gangsters

Some extra models for X-Tine's Escher gang. Most of her emancipated ladies are orientated towards close combat. There will be no heavies, so the starting gang emphases on numbers.

Amazon power !

The Burger Boys - a Goliath gang

I've always had a certain affinity for the brutal Goliaths. They were my favorite gang in the old times (15 years ago, ough) and were called the "Burger Boys"; a mean group of warriors under the leadership of Burger King causing mayhem anywhere they traveled in the underhive. They needed a repaint. Here's the result.

 What d'ya think? Do they look mean enough to you?

Bastogne War Museum: the progress

As you might have read before on our blog, the Mardasson hill is preparing to welcome a new museum dedicated to WWII, more specifically the Battle of the Bulge. The maire claims the investment will be making Bastogne a reference like Waterloo is for the Napoleon period and Ypres for WWI. Since we live nearby (about 15 min by car), we went for another visit to check out the progress. Here are a few pictures so you can see for yourselves...
