The Crimson Hand - Corpse Grinder Cult

[GrimmDark]

Greetings all. 

 

After coming out of lockdown, my local club has a few members wanting to try out Necromunda, so here I am. I bought the 2017 starter set but never got around to really doing much with it, and I've yet to play a game. 

 

I chose the Corpse Grinders for this project, thought I'd share them here. 

 

 

You may notice a few conversions. I hate the majority of the juve heads, so those weird cages had to go. I also had a crack at building myself a cult icon; 

 

 

I also started working on my colour scheme. I wanted to go really dirty black and after painting up some monochromatic adeptus titanicus stuff, I thought I'd see what else I could do with that theme. 

 

 

 

Obviously still need to add copius amounts of gore to them, and I'm thinking of trying out some weathering powders on the bases. 

 

 

List wise, they're all armed with heavy chain cleavers, the rotary saw, cult icon, and the juves have bone swords, pistols and smoke grenades. I know lots of the axes aren't the specific heavy cleavers, but rule of cool and variety win out.. if they're all heavy and I pay the points, I hopefully won't see any issues.

 

Looking forward to learning the rules and finishing these, as well as expanding. C&C welcome

 

Thanks for looking!

Good job on the Corpse Grinders! Fantastic miniatures!

Thanks mate! 

 

Made some more progress last night. Still got some details to go - but they're at gaming level now. 3 Juves to paint and then I'm ready to start!

 

 

 

Thanks for looking - C&C welcome

Oooh, I like those axes, makes them "pop" quite nicely!

[Master Ciaphas]

Again - awesome paint jobs. If you feel up to it, I would love a "how to Corpse Grind" step-by-step. I intend to get myself a copy of Dark Uprising, when Black Friday comes around; as I would like some Zone Mortalis terrain, Palanite Enforcers and the Cult :-)

[Ranulf]

Fantastic use of an accent colour in an otherwise restricted palette.

 

Great work GrimmDark.

I must commend your efforts. The Corpse Grinders look intimidating as hell. Edited September 22, 2020 by Bjorn Firewalker

Thanks! Exactly what I was hoping for.

Thank you! Yeah, I can definitely look at putting together a guide when I build more up. Stay tuned!

Thanks a lot! 

 

 

Fingers crossed I can get some games in with them soon!

 

Edit;

 

For anyone interested, this is the list I'm going to start playing with -

Double post, but I have a little WIP. 

 

Nearly got the juves done now

 

 

Fingers crossed I can get to club really soon after I finish them to try the game out. 

[Master Ciaphas]

Great skin tone on that Juve!

Thank you! 

 

I've finished the gang for now, think I can still find some more details to add but for gaming purposes they're done

 

 

 

I still have some Grinders on sprue I'm not sure what to do with, and I know I want to build my own Harvest Lord instead of ordering from FW. Eager to play some games now. Will also look at making a guide because I've been asked a few times across sites how I painted them up now. 

 

Thanks for looking! 

 

C&C welcome

So much this. Incredible job on keeping the minis dark and grimy, but contrasting that wonderfully with the skintone and the bright pop of the color on the axes.

I'm still looking for ways to add larger amounts of gore without it being OTT and looking for ways to expand the gang.

The corpse grinders aren't really my thing, but you did a great job.

[Syrakul]

No idea how I haven't gotten some of these dudes yet (those dumb juve heads most likely) but I love the oily blancheque style here! very Doom vibe

 

Have you tried using SM reiver heads?

Your titanicus stuff is fantastic as well, you really have this palette and style down!

[tangoalphatwo]

Great color scheme. Love the dark muted colors

[Gederas]

Hate to semi-necro this Necromunda thread, but GrimmDark.... How'd you do the skintone on those Grinders?

 

I love it because it looks like these dudes have never seen anything brighter than a half-dead lumen.

 

Also, how'd you make the Corpse Grinder Cult icon?

A bit late to the party but damn, these are some lovely grim-looking Corpse Grinders! The use of yellow for the weapon casings and pale fleshtones to make the models "pop" a bit is great. :tu:

 

Any more plans for Necromunda?

Thanks a lot! I haven't tried any reiver heads, but I love this bits so may have to in the future.

Thanks! I will do a video at some point when I paint more, but the colours are Vallejo Ivory and Light Flesh mixed together, with more Ivory mixed in for highlights, eventually pure Ivory before a white extreme highlight.. then various purple, red and green inks water down into the muscle lines, knuckles, pipe parts etc and streaking grime over the top.

 

Cult icon is a random banner I found in my bits box (possibly flagellants? Not sure sorry!) with a zombie standard bearer body on the top, green stuff straps and some chaos marine spiked skulls for the very top.

I still haven't managed to play a game thanks to lockdowns and work schedules, but I've been recently planning on padding them out a little. I'm looking at getting some Gerreks Reavers soon to do some conversions for my favourite cannibals, and I definitely want to build an ambot.

[GrimmDark]

I've made a little progress. 
 

First, some group shots; 

 

 

Leader and Cult Icon

 

 

Assorted choppy boys

 

 

Juves... will have to do some more with flamers at some point! 

 

 

A WIP member.. he's not in my 1000 credits list but I'm sure there will be room for him before long when my country allows me to play. 

 

And finally;

 

 

I plan on getting an Elegoo Saturn resin printer when I get my tax return in April. Mainly for D&D uses but I couldn't resist these sculpts to add to my gang. I haven't bothered supporting most of the hands and heads as I plan on using my bits box for those. 

 

Thanks for looking! C&C welcome.

The Corpse Grinders look intimidating as literal hell. Excellent works.

[Dosjetka]

Good to see you're still going strong with these: fantastic work! :tu:

[Ranulf]

I've never been a big fan of the Corpse Grinder minis, but your paint job has me warming to them. Keep up the good work!

Thanks very much! I got super busy with work but it's good to be back making progress.

Sooooo I got a printer early. 

 

 

 

A couple of little mishaps with support removal, but two new grinders are in the works... 

 

Thanks for looking, C&C welcome

[Dosjetka]

The print quality of the base is a little lacking, but the rest of the model looks great! Good way to add variety to your gang. :tu:
