And we're back to the Salamanders!
Expect me to yo-yo between several projects...I just can't seem to keep my focus on any one at a time.
So, today we have the assault marines that I need for my Skyhammer annihilator force.
2 units of 7. Each with a flamer and Eviscerator
Headless, I know.
I'm working on it!
The army is getting there.
Here is all the infantry so far;
A few bit to add here and there, and I also need like 5 more multi meltas XD
They will have to wait until my trip to forge world for sure.
That's all for now, but expect a new post sooner rather than later!
Peace!
-DH-Peace!
I told you there would be more updates!
Though this is almost like a demo than a full fledged release.
While at work (what little of it I have left), we somehow ended up talking about stars and painting them onto figures.
I've never attempted it personally, but thought it would be cool to paint them on to a cape or something...
Now, when I envisaged it in my head I didn't think of the little flicks of white on a bluish background that a lot of people do.
I thought of a nebula.
A giant cloud of gas with stars of various sizes and intensities dotted around it, and so, I thought I'd give it a go.
This is the result.
Not bad for a first time I think.
There is a lot of things I would do differently;
More colours, more stars underneath / in amongst the cloud with the 'gas' layer on top.
Overall I'm pretty happy with it :)
That's it for this one.
More stuff soon though!

We're back on the 40k train baby!!
I know it's been a while, and I'm sorry.
There was a good stretch where I just lost enthusiasm for the hobby
again... couple this with moving all of my hobby to another room
(nothing kills a hobby groove like not knowing where anything is
anymore), and painting for work and it just dried up.
I've recently been made redundant too (I'll talk more about this on the Science of selling yourself short soon).
As of the 1st of October I'm officially unemployed, so I've had to look for work.
Weirdly though, this kinda kick started my need to hobby again XD
So, let's see what I've been up to eh?
Post hobby move, I decided to get all of my bits out and get to work...
I didn't quite know what I wanted to do though, then I saw this guy,
still BNIB sitting on top of the pile, and he just had to have the
Salamander treatment.
Nothing drastic, but enough to start.
There is more coming... and soon.
So stay tuned, and refresh your memories by flicking back through the previous posts.
Thanks for checking in, and I'll post again soon!

Haven't done a decent post in a good while, so here are some Stormcast Eternal Liberators I've painted for the cabinet at work.
They've taken a good while to complete, but I'm pretty happy with them.
So yeah, enjoy!

Hey Underhivers!
I know I haven't been very consistent recently, but I have been working on other projects (as always).
If you'd like to chock those out head to The science of selling yourself short for more info!
Back to it.
I hit a hobby wall in the shape of too many boardgames with miniatures that are un built and unpainted.
So I've made it my mission to get these out of the way.
The problem with this is that building miniatures as they come in the box bores the life out of me...
So far I have built all of the Miniatures from Assasinorium Execution Force, and it nearly killed me.
So going into my next task; The Silver Tower, I've decided to try and make things a little more interesting for myself, without converting any of the models.
The game is fairly varied in all fairness.
unlike Execution force, there isn't 15 of essentially the same figure... the most of one type is 8.
But I still want to make them 'my own.'
This starts from the ground... no up, just the ground.
Most of the tile sin Silver Tower are this cracked turquoise stuff, with gold banding.
The plan is pretty simple; copy it onto the basses.
To do this I've used the Games Workshop palette pads to created the crazy shapes that are all over the board tiles.
Obviously, these will be painted gold, and any 'raised' areas will be added in using shading and highlighting.
As for the cracked floor, I decided to cheat...kinda.
Agrellan earth; a self crackling paint from the citadel paint range.
All I ave to do now is paint it!
I'll be using Stegadon Scale Green, Sotek Green and Temple Guard Blue to do the job.
Before that though I have a ton more basses to do...
That's all for now!
Keep you eyes peeled for more soon.

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.

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!
