The Grinning Loon Project: Retina Scarring

I've fallen into a massive hobby binge lately. A good thing by all accounts, but naturally that means I spend more time painting and building and less time actually posting here. I put a couple of images up on Instagram, but you know what, I think it's good to talk about the process and this post was a long time coming.

I've had a few of these put up on Instagram, but they really do deserve their own post here. The Acid Punks was a project born of a set of Xmas presents from my family last year. The Escher was a gang that was something different for me to work on and a set of fluorescent paints off my Mam provided something I had never used before. The Gang has had a few small conversions, but I like the models enough to use them straight out the box.

The Gang Leader and Champions got the most customisation to get the weapon combos I wanted.

The Gangers and Juves were left pretty much as standard though I did go out of my way to get a flamer for my specialist. I love fire in Necromunda... probably a tad too much.

The astute among you will have noticed that I haven't used all the models from the box of 10 Gangers, and you are quite right. That's because I have long term plans. For those inclined to look at past posts, I ran a Gorkamorka Campaign some years ago to much success and enjoyment to all. The Ash Wastes rules provided me the opportunity to revisit that idea. That Wasteland vehicle carnage, the Big Truck heist and the rolling road hilarity was something I will one day get the Acid Punks out into the world. With that firmly set in mind I set a few models to one side with intentions to mount them on bikes or acting as vehicle crew.

As a teaser for more Necromunda, my buddy and I really latched onto the idea of the water crafts rules GW put on their website a while back. As a result we both picked up some affordable boats and piles of scrap and went to work. Watch this space, Pirates of the Sump in cinema soon.
