From DaveD - Necromunda Hive Scum - “New Acquisitions” - 40 pts

Next up is my very latest acquisition- sourced from my local game store on Monday this week in fact. JamesM and I have been working on Necromunda on and off over the last year and I found these in the local shop and thought hmm why not . They are a GW pack and were a simple construct.

In an addition to being a new miniature acquisition they are also painted using the newly acquired Vallejo Xpress paints . I am taken with them for primary colours - that’s what I decided to do for these lads . Apparently they will also be releasing some more traditional military colours. 

These were done over a pure white base coat so the colours are really popping , they were also really quick to do . I haven’t added any extra wash or highlights- just let the paint do its work 








So total - 4 x 28mm = 20 pts

 Bonus theme “New Aquisition” - 20 points.  

Total - 40 pts .

 
Nice paints . Recommend. 

Right - on with the airbrush next ..

Great work Dave! Love the punchy, vibrant colours of these downhivers. I have a few of the Xpress Colors as well and agree, they are great additions to the pigment quiver.

Let's see what you have next for us, eh?

  1. Very nice! It's great to see some 40k figures that aren't weathered and shaded to the point of being monochrome. Also thanks for the great excuse to go and get some xpress colours. :D
