Far Corfe: Whacky Races

After eating their complimentary buffet from Rat Burger, the official sponsors of the event, the competitors in the annual Windy 500 tear through downtown Far Corfe...

Vehicles always help to make a gameboard pop and add to the effect of the buildings and minis that you use them, and when Axiom over at Magpie & Old Lead posted a wasteland trader with a large saurian carrying his wares, it made me get off my arse and finish my own, as well as realise just how many different vehicles I've worked on over the past couple of years.

Far Corfe: Underhive Nomads

The Nomads stalk through the alleyways and backstreets of the Underhive...

 

I've been picking up the random minis from GW's past on eBay that nobody else seems to want for a while now, and one of these was a ganger from House Cawdor that had been hacked about to an almost ridiculous degree by its previous owner.

I think the thing had lost both it's hands and perhaps even its legs too, but I was determined to make something out of it, and so I raided the bits box for replacement parts and ended up liking the results so much that I was soon back on eBay looking for more minis from the same range.

Far Corfe: Widdershins's Corpse Junkies - Improved Mugshots

Messing with Widdeshins's crew or chewing on a brick - both good ways to lose some teeth...

I've dropped a couple of posts with bad shots of Widdershins's Corpse Junkies in the past, but I actually managed to snap some half-decent ones last night, including some of the newer gang members recently completed and added to the crew as well, and so I decided to do another post to catch up on how the gang's developing.

Maelstrom's Edge: Broken Infantry Pack

The exact place that I first saw these and the person that recommended them escapes me, but as I'm modelling and painting the expanding range of gangs that I've dreamed up for the Inqisimunda games that I have planned for the God Emperor-forsaken port of Far Corfe, Maelstrom's Edge and their Broken range of plastic components came to my attention.

The Broken - a rousing rabble of rabble rousers

Costing around a tenner and in perfect scale to be mixed in with GW products, the basic order of four sprues comes with enough parts to make six complete miniatures with plenty of left-overs that can be stirred into a kitbash in order to produce something a little bit more exotic and unusual than the common recipe of Neophyte Hybrids + Chaos Cultists + Skitarii = Any Non-Goliath/Escher Necromunda Gang.

Necromunda 3.0: It's a Proxy Party! - Part 2: Non-GW Alternatives

Last time I spent some column inches looking at the various hacks and customisation jobs that creative gamers had come up with to either make their Necromunda experience their own, or else avoid shelling out more than they had to in buying official GW products.

But of course there's always the option of choosing to use miniatures and/or terrain manufactured by another company, which has the advantage of being quicker and leaving you with more time to work on assembling, painting and actually PLAYING the game as well!

This option also has one over on scouring Ebay for what you want, as it's all there to be ordered, and most companies are sensible with their prices (unlike many Ebay sellers) - but be warned, buying new stuff, while expedient, is not always the cheapest option, and in some cases, may actually turn out to be more expensive than GW, so think about whether you're willing to shell out more for that unique look to your gang or underhive terrain.
