128 Bits and Bobs

I have been searching my bitz box for supplies ahead of some new conversion works and was worried to find I am down to my last few part sprues of the gloriously good basic weapons sprue from GW of yesteryear.

This sprue I think was originally inspired by Necromunda but became my usual rescue for all my 40k conversions from my Marauder Imperial Guard to veterans and Inquisitors.

I am going to appeal to the community for ideas of where to get more, I am guessing ebay but you never know. Or what people are using these days to replace it??

113 John Blanche Concepts setting the scene

JB really set the scene for what would be the grittiness and pure outlandishness of the Necromundan world with these concept sketchs.

I'll be posting some more of his work as time goes on as he did some amazing work for both Confrontation and its love child Necromunda.

His art really gives you a feeling for the madness of the grimdark that many other artists fail to achieve with a more sterile style. John just layers the crazy characters on the page effortlessly and the depth of what he puts in is truly inspirational.

111 Blanchitsu in Necromunda

Been trawling the interwebs today rather than my attic but I have still managed to find some real gems by that great artist and GW image guru John Blanche.

Let me take you back, back beyond Necromunda, back to Confrontation.....

 Old school scavy chic; this is the essence of grimdark!

109 Dredging the Sump

Who remembers these beauties? :-)  My attic is proving to be a treasure trove of goodies from years gone by.
