If all goes well, I'll also be entering these guys into a contest called Naismithery in the Oldhammer community, as each one was sculpted by Bob Naismith.

I'm claiming First, draw a circle for the WIP pics, and A recipe for success for my rambling about how I painted them.

First up, inspiration. Painting really old, highly individual minis can be a challenge, because there's no box art to start from, and very few images of how other people have painted them. I knew, however, that these models have a place in my collection as scum-for-hire in Necromunda, so I looked at how GW painted the current line of Necromunda hired guns (image from the Forgeworld store):



Lots of inspiration there. Muted tones for the clothing, and patches of bright red and yellow applied in an asymmetrical fashion. The models are clearly individuals, but there's enough shared elements to bring all three together . And there's those awesome brass armour plates on one guy, I had to give that a try. For basing, I'd already mounted the trio on lumps of slate to give them some extra height and presence, but natural rocks aren't so evocative of Necromunda. I looked up by-products of metalworking, and found this striking image:



Metal slag can be green, who knew? Apparently NASA are sick of hopeful folk bringing these chunks to them, thinking they are meteorites.



So, base colours blocked in, using Daemonette Hide for the cloth, Mephiston Red for some details, and the old Citadel Foundation Yellow for the other details. Skin got a basecoat of Cadian Flesh, and everything that will be dark or metallic got a nice coat of Black Templar Contrast.



A Drukari Violet wash added some definition to the cloth, while the metals were painted with Leadbelcher and Balthasar Gold. Gorthor Brown on the leather, Reikland Flesh on the skin, and Incubi Darkness to bring some green tones to the rocks.



Added black chevrons to one shoulder, and more paints than I could really name to build up highlights. The silvery metal got black and brown washes, and heavily thinned Skrag Brown to add rust and corrosion, followed by Runefang Steel highlights. The bronze had similar washes and Runefang highlights, plus a little Nialahk Oxide in the recesses. Old World Jack in the centre had some extra attention applied to his face, including a crimson wash in his scar, and a little bluish-grey to make the eye the scar runs through look dead and cloudy - he ain't doing much seeing out of that. Highlighted the red up the Fire Dragon Bright, and the yellow to Bad Moon Yellow, using glazes to bring them together. Drybrushed successive greens onto the rocks, up to Moot Green. Skavenblight Dinge and Stormvermin Fur gave some dirty highlights to the black parts.



And there's the finished result! Final details included a glowing florescent patch on Jack's arm, and a transition to simulate flames on the masked man's chest badge - he is called Worldburner after all. I think I succeeded in making them look like a united little mercenary band, but not uniformed soldiers. I entered them into the #Naismithery contest as planned, where the standard of competition is extremely high, but I'm hoping I made a decent account of myself.

(NB you might notice that Jack's aerial changed towards the end. The original was very flimsy, and at some point I dropped him and it broke beyond repair. Ah well)
