N:AW Octarius Ork Scap Piles for Necromunda

 Back in August, I revealed that the kid and I had been working on Necromunda: Ash Wastes (N:AW from here on), both as a modeling project, and for gaming.  To recap, N:AW is the "outside" version of Necromunda, with vehicles, and the namesake ash wastes.  An ash waste game mat was built next.  The kid handled the terrain from the box, plus more buildings, plus made a bunch of rocky outcroppings from card and spackle.  

To contribute I got the newish Games Workshop plastic Ork Scrap piles from Ebay, scraped or clipped some of the "Ork" guff off, and daubed some paint on them.  The nice thing about painting scrap heaps is that the paint job does not have to be great because it is garbage, and then you are going to wash and otherwise cover over the paint anyway.  I finished these over the Thanksgiving break, and here they are.

Anyway, lovely little project, and perfectly suited for drifting in and out for little bits of painting.

While I was working on the formerly Ork pieces, I also finished these Necromunda plastic barricades, which I had previously sponge painted. Here I just added a ton of washes and some "rust", which is a bit bright.

Pleased about all this terrain, although it might benefit from a light filter and satin sealer. 

Plenty more Necromunda to come, just need to either paint it or blog about it.
