101. When I shotgun you say escher; Shotgun! Escher! Shotgun! Escher! It Came From the Underhive. Escher Gang part 6.

Really long title, but you know.
Words, words, words.

Since finishing the Princess I thought I'd crack on with the rest fo the gang.
After all, with how few models a Necromunda gang has I might actually finish this project!

Speaking of finish, here are a couple more of the gang done!

Shotgun ganger;



I tried to base her colour palette on Zoe from firefly.
I mean, she's a badass lady from the far future in a lot of leather and armed with a shotgun.

Next up we have a Juve;





ORANGE AND BLUE. ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED.

In all seriousness, I just wanted to do pastel orange on something.
It suits the 80's/90's feel.

Very happy with the way the juve turned out.
I wasn't sold on the face to start with, but now I think she looks like she has a bit of sass about her.

I'm working on more, but my pace has started to slow down again.
Heavy painting times at work of late I guess.

Anyway, that's all for today.
More soonish hopefully.

Until then fuggers.

100. One Hundred Posts! #TBT to when it all started! It Came From the Underhive. Escher Gang part 5.

Throwing it all the way back!

The last time I updated the Escher Gang was back in June 2014!

But this Throwback is actually a tribute to how this blog first started.

My very first post back in September 2011 was about my Escher Gang, and the very reason this blog was created.
'It Came From The Underhive' was my very first solo blog project.


So I thought I'd rekindle this project and show it some of my now crazy productive hobby love!
And what better way than focusing on one of the very reaons I started this blog.... the epicenter of my Escher Gang.

The 'promiscuous princess.'

Back in my second ever post I knew she was going to be the leader of my gang, hence the title of the post (check it out here - http://theunderhivehero.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/urlhttpwww.html).
Sure enough my 3rd post was about her, and you can check her out in all her metal glory by following the link in that post...

But enough flashbacks.... let's get to that update... that sweet, sweet update!







She's come a long way from her bare metal days!
But here she is, the daughter of an imperial noble who ran away to the underhive, taking her father baroque plasma pistol with her to face the underhive alone.
Her connections to power, though diminished, all but guaranteeing her a fats route up the ranks of the local street gangs, and her pistol did the rest.
Now embroiled in the criminal activities of the Escher gang (still with no name after all these years) she leads the charge through the underhive.

A MODEL DONE!? I KNOW!?!

Another one down!

You should also check out my main blog; The science of selling yourself short.
I've been posting some  board game miniatures on there!
There is a massive update tomorrow too so keep your eye on that.

Anyway.
Nostalgia trip complete. Throwback threw.

I'll see you next time.

The Underhive Hero, out!

78 b? Revamp part 2

So, I finally decided something. Hurrahh!

The Underhive Hero will continue in it's current format.
I feel that changing the content I post here will cheapen the experience somewhat.
The Underhive Hero has always been about modelling, table top wagamming with miniatures and everything associated with that world.
I would very much like it to remain that way.

Good news: The site is maintaining its integrity.

Bad news: Posts will remain on a frequency equal to my hobby work (currently non-existent)

I will however be changing the visuals. Something a bit more professional maybe... who knows.


So what of the content I was going to post here? The art and junk?
Firstly, it is all on my instagram , so you can check it out at any time already!

In addition to this it will sometimes make an appearance here, or be plugged here, just like The science of selling yourself short and my (now dead) Bolter and Chainsword blogs were.

However; and this is the big announcement/ important part, all of that content and everything else will be posted to The science of selling yourself short

"But DH!" I hear you cry, "what about your last post?"

'The science of selling yourself short will see the The Cardboard Cartographer take a much more central role.
Indeed The Cardboard Cartographer will be the primary purpose of the blog, turning into more of an e-zine, with my personal blog as a side note.

The reason for this is the contents of my 'blog' will a) cloud the work I do on The Cardboard Cartographer and b) will by and large be covered by a new project I'm working on.
more on that later'
Well this is the thing. The science of selling yourself short has always been a personal thing.
I think I got it the wrong way around.
The Cardboard Cartographer is clouding my own blog.

So, I have decided to return The science of selling yourself short to its original purpose, and instead launch The Cardboard Cartographer as its own independent blog/ e-zine!

This is a much better move as I can create specific accounts and assests for it, as well as build up its own audience. in addition it will be much easier to move to a host in the future.

So there you have it.
Integrity restored all round.

Thanks for reading and sticking with me during this period of instability. Hopefully things will be much clearer from here on out.

78. Revamp

Wow.
Huge delay in posts.

If any of you read The science of selling yourself short and The Cardboard Cartographer you'll have noticed I plan a huge update over there.

more on that later

While The science of selling yourself short is going to go through some serious changes, so too is The Underhive Hero.

The Underhive Hero is my personal hobby dungeon.
I post all of my modelling, miniature painting and wargamming gubbins here.

The change here will not be a refocusing of purpose like The science of selling yourself short, but just more content.

From here on out I'll be posting all of my 'less formal' stuff; as well as all of the stuff I've already been posting on here, I will now be posting all of my art, music, writing and whatever else that doesn't fit in over on The science of selling yourself short.

So yeah. Keep your eyes peeled for all of that stuff.

Peace!
