#Van Saar

[omgkhazadum]

my friend and I wanted to try necromunda a while back, so I used it to play with 'slap chop' style painting and knock out a Van Saar gang quick. finally posting because I finished the last 2 of them, months after all the others.

What happed so far :)

Squad two of Tempestus Scions finished!

Also before anyone asks: Models are actually Van Saar Gangers from Necromunda, with some weapon swaps and such to make them fit a bit better into 40k.

Got my Nightstinger Land Speeder built: heavy lascannon, heavy webber, and twin lasrifles

Just need a couple Van Saars to pop into those seats, and I think my shotgun rider may end up gesturing rudely at the enemy, for fun

The member of Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Celiya Xanthic retinue known only as Mord, is an odd one out in the group. Silent for the most part, but whenever he speaks the voice is filtered and the low gothic halting. Some members swearing they've heard a chittering noise coming from him at times. Then there's also something about his movements, something unnatural. Like he's trying to hold himself back. Sometimes there's motions playing on the surface of his long coat that he wears at all times and never removes. Even then he's a highly disciplined killer, using a set of weapons firing razor sharp flechettes at high velocities.

The truth is that Mord, their real name hard to pronounce with a human mouth, is part of a arachnid xenos species from a distant sector. The species is far too small, and too remote, to garner much attention from the Imperium at large. How they managed to be in the employ of Inquisitor Xanthic is anyone's guess. Less said about what deals she might have struck with them for their employ. All that is known is that places the team visits, people tend to disappear. Sometimes bodies are found, usually a dried out husk lacking any organs...

Turns out that Van Saar helmets on Delaque bodies work really well. A very quick and nice project, painted and based this one in a day.

The idea to paint the sides of the gasmask the helmet colour, making it look like extended mandibles, was a random idea that I felt worked out pretty well.

I think the only thing I would note is that I probably should've gone for a more leather coat, rather than trying to use Black Templar contrast. For once I put on too much of it, rather than getting it unevenly applied. Or I should've paid more attention to how the painting video for those coats did the highlights. That I definitely feel like I messed up a bit.

I don’t think the horrific radiation causes you to grow an arm like that…

[soylent-robot]

maybe the Van Saar are a little too hi-tech for the setting, it looks weird to me to have these cyberpunks next to all the regular punks and trash boys, but they do have some cool models at least, especially the gliders & mech suit

This evenings Necromunda 500crd a side, three way game saw the gangs of the Orlock, Goliath and Squats (Van Saar) clash over territory.

Unfortunately my Orlock's bottled it in the 3rd turn after 2 of my gang went down.

An impressive shot up through cover by a Squat Boltgun toppled a Goliath ganger of the 3rd storey to his doom!

After 7 round of viscous fighting the Goliath's also bottled it out.

And so the Squats took the territory after forcing the other gangs out and claimed there rewards 🏆

The 5th member of Sigma-Gamma One has been finished. They are nearly done.

I’ve been back on with digital painting after having a fun weekend at Warhammer World!

[paniwarhamauser]

Necromunda gangs (it was drawn before they added Outcasts, Ashlanders and Squats)

Meant to be 'grafitti' decals for my terrain, but I haven't learned how to make decals yet

[titanomancy]

They fly now.

I can proudly say, that I’m happy with the Van Saar Mini and my first run at Base building ^^

[effervescentdragon]

Scrolling my dash, lots of Liverpool which is nothing out the ordinary. But who is it that I see Liverpool posting - Akira !?!?! 🥹😭🥹 the joy this has brought me cannot be understated.

Manchester who? 😽😽

firstly, shut the fuck up <3 secondly, 2008/9 squad(s) has my baby football fan heart

[doolallymagpie]

Decided to see if a drybrush or edge highlight before shading makes a difference in the final finish on the armor and, uh

Not really, so I think I’ll just drybrush these guys, and do all the highlighting after applying Nuln Templar
