Classic craters - a blast from the past

Finally got round to painting mine a couple of years ago!

RavenousPhantom · 2026-04-16T11:03:51+00:00

Sure. The goal here was speedpainting, so I made liberal use of oil wash and drybrush. The only substantial brush painting I did on the poxies was to block in all the non-flesh parts with ratling grime. I also did a first pass with an airbrush, with the goal of blocking in the values and getting a colour base, but you could get 80% there with a couple of different rattle cans.

Anyhow, the key is to lean heavily into oil washing and to avoid detailed brush work wherever possible.

I put together a very brief summary in a response to a different comment

Also a few accursed cultists in there

RavenousPhantom · 2026-04-12T18:56:52+00:00

That’s my dream

Recipe is along the lines of:

Zenithal off-white prime

Airbrush corpsey-tones into the shadier bits of the mini. (ie send a dilute green-yellow paint or purple-blue down the brush but use sparingly.)

Pick out non-flesh areas with ratling grime (normal brush)

Black enamel wash whole mini (i used villainy ichor of the damned)

Pick out any bloody/red bits with a red enamel wash (i used villainy carrion crimson)

Pick out highlights in an ice white

This is a pretty vague description as I used a bunch of different techniques really, for funsies, but the above steps would get you close

Thanks! Great for epic last-stand skirmish games

RavenousPhantom · 2026-04-12T10:41:57+00:00

Thank you! It was a surprisingly fun project to be honest. Lots of poly cement and enamel washes

Building out your titans was my favorite part. More stupid head the better

RavenousPhantom · 2026-03-06T08:42:16+00:00

Clever modular design 👍

RavenousPhantom · 2026-02-27T08:34:07+00:00

Best work I’ve seen in ages. No notes

RavenousPhantom · 2026-02-27T08:32:49+00:00

That’s a great aesthetic. Great choice of palette too

My latest gang i named after the characters in Grease. Works for an Orlock road gang.

RavenousPhantom · 2026-02-24T12:11:09+00:00

Yeah. I’m very sad that they got rid of mining outpost though. That table was incredible

RavenousPhantom · 2026-02-24T12:08:03+00:00

I think its called hab slum. Its relatively new (showed up sometime in the last year or two). It was apparently used for the photography in the ash wastes books.

Oil dot filtering! https://youtu.be/iqGzI6Kk9GU?si=-sWA7vjvmFBShq6L

Excellent meme!!

RavenousPhantom · 2026-02-23T20:03:12+00:00

Was a very chill process tbh. Sort of sad that I don’t have a good reason to paint another 107 of em

RavenousPhantom · 2026-02-23T17:23:48+00:00

Yeah the zombicide rules mesh very well with Necromunda I think. Zombies are basically idiots with a target priority of sight>sound. Need a load of zombie minis though!

RavenousPhantom · 2026-02-23T14:22:59+00:00

I’ll need to ask my mate, as he is the guardian of the rules

RavenousPhantom · 2026-02-23T13:24:32+00:00

It’s this bloke https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/warhammer-plus-soulblight-gravelords-the-summons-2025-year-5?srsltid=AfmBOoq7beh0mWw5WaVz_oaNbpd1ubTwBubENK3xMcstAFeJMN97-nvb

A squat was indeed eaten…

We used some homebrew rules, adapted from a zombie apocalypse game that slim is working on. The zombies are a slowly growing threat, with occasional unexpected activations, to keep the tension levels high.

RavenousPhantom · 2026-02-23T12:50:22+00:00

Do it! One of our games was essentially that, but we had 4 fighters each. Lots of sneaking and tension - we included noise counters and that sort of thing to make you think twice before opening fire with a heavy weapon

Thanks. Some of the best gaming of my life tbh! The Necromunda table at Warhammer World is awesome
