The Calliope of Chaos: The Mortis Engine

Here are the final shot of my newly completed Mortis Engine, the Calliope of Chaos
The Calliope of Chaos

This was a fun miniature to paint and assemble.  I decided to build the miniature into sub-assemblies, so that way it was easier to paint.  I assembled it into these sub sections:

  • Left Spirit Host
  • Right Spirit Host
  • 3 Banshees
  • The Carriage
  • The Gate
  • The Relic 
  • Corpse Master
I then painted all of the parts their various colors and then assembled together.

East Side!!!


I was going for a smokey, whisky, shadow-like color scheme for this miniature, as if the darkness was manifesting this morbidly haunting thing to bring death and ruin.  I really like this effect and I am satisfied with the overall result.

Back Shot of the Relic
I was most impressed with the way the Corpse Master looks on the miniature, I painted it a bright Teal before oil washing it, and it looks fittingly haunting.  

Over all, I love this model.  It was fun to assemble, even more fun to paint, and in the end; makes an awesome center piece for my army.

Necromunda: Road Wars Campaign Rules Part 3

NECROMUNDA: ROAD WAR CAMPAIGN RULES #3 DESIGNED AND WRITTEN BY: COMMANDER CHEAPSKATE Territories in the Ash Wastes are altered a little from the Underhive. All gangs have one territory called the Wastelands Territory at gang creation. This territory is always in the Gang's Possession and they can never lose it. Whenever you captured a new piece of territory, roll on the Ash Waste Territory Table to determine what it is. Once the territory's identity is identified, it remains until the end of the campaign. It should be noted, that no territories offer Enhanced Boons to any gang in this campaign. The reason why is because no one holds sway over the Ash Wastes... No one...
