First Goliath painted

After a long absence in hobby due to travel and work, finally I managed to paint the first Goliath gang member: A dynamic bloodthirsty Juve... (painting time ~4hours).

Unfortunately, I do not have built a new photo box yet. Thus, the pics are with direct yellowish light... quite shitty! Sorry for that!

Goliaths - basing finished!

During the weekend I had some hours of spare time, so a friend of mine and me we made a little handicrafting session, here is the result:

Unfortunately, I had no camera with me, so you can only see them now with a basecoat of black and some white from the source of light direction (top in this case :-)).

In addition to the basic box of Goliaths from GW, I also bought one of these extremely funny Hasslefree miniatures: Mutant Joe. I slightly modified him (with a chain for one fist and vambrace for the other arm, and of course some grenades! ;-):

 

Finally, I put some lead under the bases to make same standing more stable, especially for gaming purposes...

Cheers and let the painting begin!

Goliaths - Basing process started...

Hi there,

during the week there was not much time for hobbies so far. But eventually, I managed starting to base the Goliath gang. First, I did the leader:  For this I tried to change the position of one leg and one arm. Unfortunately,the metal is quite difficult to work with. Thus, I mainly srewed the back of the mini. To disguise my failure, I put a bolter on his back :-)

The others were kind of similar: I did only small modifications to change the position they are standing: as for the heavy. Later, I will use some milliput green stuff equivalent to fill up the notches (from the cutting). These are the 5 first gang members:

Of course, this is only the raw build, the details here will be added later, like dirt, dust and empty bolt shells...

Unpacked - Goliaths

Hi, slowly the Necromunda project is evolving... I managed to get a box of the old Goliath gang miniatures at ebay... still boxed! Let's see how my first gang will look like...

I start with some preparatory work, like cutting the artifacts from the casting process and drilling the gun barrels (very important! See the bad comments at CMON!;-)). And finally some soap... my gangers will receive a last shower beofre I throw them in the dirt of the Underhive! ;-)

So, now we are ready for the basing process: Of course such cool guys, as the Goliaths are, they will need some really awesome bases full of tech and trash! But let's see tomorrow... (yawn)

The Anti - Watchmaker

Hi there!

Right now I am searching for bits, all kinds of bits I could use for the industrial filth of Necromunda and its inhabitants.
So I found this watch, and I once read somewhere in one of these nice miniature blogs, that a watch can contain nice little parts for bases and conversions. So, I decided to undo the watch. :)
But not as a proper watchmaker, no here at Super Massive Beast we only care for miniatures... (evil laughter).
First, how to open such a damn thing?! No, screws no nothing...? But of course google helps: A sharp knive you use to get rid of the plate on the back:

Hm, not much inside! But with some accurate violence and a cutter, after 1-2 more minutes I get the following new bits:

Especially, those little cute cog wheels!

Now, I need another watch...
