From DaveD - The Flying Squad , Necromunda (40 points)

 Here is my start to Challenge 15 , my 14th participation , as usual I like to get something done before Christmas . Well as we are playing in the environs of Hell I thought I would get my Games Workshop stuff out of the way early this year. Over the last  few years I have added stuff to my Necromunda Van Saar gang the Derr-Flinggers .  They have done pretty well in the fights we have done this year as part of our group campaign. 

The bit of kit I really like is the Grav-cutter hover board I decided to add some more to the existing 4 I have. Mind each time I use them they crash and burn and then actually die … but what the hell - see what I did there .

I followed the same colour scheme using  a Tamiya green rattle can base with a heavy yellow dry bush then Vallejo Xpress Lizard Green with a highlight to finish - it’s pretty quick and easy recipe . The Cutters followed the same basalt grey and highlights scheme . The bases have a simple rust colour dry brush . They were all magnetised as part of the build process. 

So here they are :-

 



And with last years :-



I will be doing some of my usual projects this year so hopefully you will see some of the followings :-

10mm Napoleonic commission work, yet more French Guard 

15mm Ardennes “44 , though it will be terrain stuff first - and we ain’t counting it - but I want them done as winterising it is messy! 

28mm North West Frontier which made its debut last year 

MartinC and I have 10mm Zulu stuff in the wings. Yes thousands of em …They may or may not make a proper appearance .

Well that the score board moving pre Xmas , 4 mounted 28mm = 2.8 cm = 40 points.

Very cool grav-cutters Dave. I like the cohesive look of their armour and equipment. They have a great old school Green Goblin look about them - a nasty bunch.

You have a lot of projects on your docket! I especially look forward to seeing the Napoleonics and North West Frontier (though that means different things in different parts of the world as we've called ourselves the same here in the Canadian prairies). 

A nice 40 points on the board to put you in the lead! Well done Mr. D!

  11. These models may be for Necromunda, but I must say they have a whacky air of the classic "Rogue Trader" setting about them - well done!

  12. Lots of planned projects out there. Necromunda isa ll the rage in my club at Madrid, the guys playing this game are hyperactive in our Telegram channel, so it must be really engaging

  20. Wonderful work on the grav cutters, Dave! As much as I love the dashing Erol Flynn look of the classic gang, the techno sophisticated look of the new sculpts are great and yours are very neat looking!
