Necromunda Redemptionists Pt. 1

I got a couple requests for Necromunda figs from people remembering the Cawdor I shared on my studio site, nullhorizon.com, on Frothers and on Warseer. I'm flattered and nothing is dearer to my heart than Necromunda, so I dug up some pics I've been meaning to share for quite some time.

These Redemptionists I've got for you today were actually painted before the Cawdor, at least the first wave was, but for whatever reason I've never shown them off in detail on the web. This first batch of eight is the contents of the box set and was painted circa 2003. As happened in the course of my Cawdor gang's career, the redemptionist gang received new, often converted recruits over time as I modeled the kits that I needed for the game. The gang is actually still in progress even now, and around five figs that have languished in WIP land for, what—years now.

This first batch has a rougher finish than my current offerings, but looking them over now I see a lot I like about them. I wasn't afraid to make the skin tones especially jaundiced by way of yellow highlights and blue undertones, the red robes have a nice rich hue and the rough finish lends them a gritty quality.

Pardon me for no group shot this time. Will have at least one for the next batch of redemptionists. I've also got a first wave of scavvies done, and nearly every other gang sits in a box in the closet awaiting their turn with the brush. I'd also like to share terrain at some point.

Btw you can also view these and all my pics on flickr.

And let me know if you have any feedback for me in terms of how these PictoBuilder pics are working out for you.

  5. JB, cheers, it's an honor having you stop by! Saw some of yr new inquimunda figs as you say and am loving them (as I do just about everything from your hand). We like to think we keep that spirit going here in California (San Francisco Bay Area) and I hope to articulate some of that here. Can't say enough how much inspiration I've drawn from your work over the years. Got a lot more Necromunda and beyond to share and hope to see you around--you can be certain I'll be looking out for more pics of your work on tearsofenvy and elsewhere.

  6. Spooktalker, post your Redemptor Priest conversion. If anything says "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," its that piece.
