1:56 Whoa! That Space Marine Heads really makes that in to a cool looking mini. With a weapon swap, he could easily be a member of a Void Ship Crew. 5:59 Greasy Joe looks Brütal; I'm sure that Nathan Explosion would approve.

The moment Eric described what he'd visualized, combined with the expression on the model's face I did my Nathan Explosion impression for my cat and he looked at me like I'm an idiot. Brutal. I won't let it get to me though - he hasn't seen the show anyway so he has no basis for comparison. Also he's a cat, not a theatre critic. Super pleased to see the scupting of the hair actually matched the vision so well :) Anyway, great video as always - I love the chill vibe combined with creativity and skill at modelling. Keep up the good works Eric!

I would leave out the apothecary white. The grey pigment would probably muddy everything up. Just a hunch though, worth experimenting!

They turned out really well. Right before the blood got added, they looked like they all just got out of the shower because of how clean their skin looked. I expected them to be a bit dusty and grimy, but i guess they are culinary worker and take the health code very seriously. Who knows, maybe the blood is from people who didn't wash their hands properly.

In terms of spray paints, I’ve had very good luck with Krylon Short Cuts. They come in a lot of colours and you can find them at Michael’s or online. They are pretty forgiving and they always dry smoothly. Once or twice it looked like I sprayed too thickly but when it dried it was fine.

Somehow, ive ended up with a massively expanded genestealer cult 😅 (i kept a token squad of marines, captain and agressors, 2 squads of necron warriors, the wraith, lord, spider and barge) Everything else was cannibalised as I pondered on just why I was collecting that series.

For me the idea of Corpse Grinders, butchers who went insane from their daily task of rendering their fellow humans into protein paste, is cool. However, their models are probably the worst of all Necromunda; they go a bit too far for what's essentially supposed to be a simple concept. For a bunch of insane butcher cultists, the masks and armour look waaaay too manufactured for the purpose instead of cobbled together (preferably from unattached faces) and honestly, what's the fundamental difference between a Corpse Grinder's spooky mask and something a standard, relatively lawful Goliath would wear? I've got a bunch of Fantasy Gors and Bestigors I'll be looking to convert into my own Corpse Grinder Cult, at least then this mutant, bestial caricature of a human charging at you drenched in gore and smelling like blood and rotting meat, whirring chain cleavers wet from a fresh kill, glinting arterial crimson in the dim light of the tunnels is something to actually be afraid of, even in the underhive. Not just a hench dude in a Halloween party mask.
