Lactivity...

Well, you think you’ve looked away for a minute and life/the blog passes you by....Ferris Bueler was right! Here’s some Necromunda stuff to make up for it:

Apologies for the lack of activity on the blog, it’s not that we’ve given up but sometimes life and toy solider get in the way of writing about toy soldiers!

We’ve been up to quite a few things recently so here’s a list of stuff we can aim to cover to put the pressure on:

- Necromunda

- Titanicus

- New Horus Heresy stuff as eleven club members went to the the Horus Heresy Weekender in February.

- Star Trek ascendency  

- 10mm WWII and the completion of my French army for this

So without further ado, the figures above are from Artel W and they are high quality resin top notch figures, we are using them as arbiters in our campaign. The boss is Judge Anderson style and very nice indeed. I have one more to do but he’s a bit different and for another day. These are pretty pricey but a great paint.

Daveco's Escher Gang - The Sector 7 Sump Cats

Hello blog followers,

Its been a while since you heard from me. I know Abe and I made a battle report but nothing directly for a while. Well I have been in one of those "hobby black holes" where I can’t figure out what to do or when to do it. But All that is gone now, my new project is an Escher Gang from Necromunda.

I have never palayed Necromunda before, having no good or bad habits with the game I set off to build my gang and then paint them.

Wargear: Tough call for me, Im a veteran of the GW game Inquisitor (best thing since sliced bread in my opinion) So on that knwledge pool I drew my basis for the gang. A well quipped Leader and then a functional and cheap equipped gang. Lasguns were a must because the Escher ones look great and I would have to take the Clans signature toxin thrower weapon.

What do they look like?

Well I was aiming for a gang of women, I drew inspiration from Mad Max 2 (who dose not really when making post-apoc things). In particular the 'Warrior Woman' played by Virginia Hay. To me is the archetype Escher.

House of Escher indeed.

So The finished results. I went with Purple and Yellow for the gang colours but kept the white armour plates. I wanted them to look striking but also keep within the dark and gritty under-hive theme. The women are tough remorseless fighters who live in a nightmare underworld. That said they take great pride and effort with their gang colours and weapons to keep them in the best condition possible.

I think they go well with the terrain I have and look a very striking and brutal force on the tabletop.
I have got, Goliaths and Orlocks to do next. They will be along in good time and hopefully with compliment these Gangers.

Until then see you later. 

Escher Gang

First post here so be gentle.

Used to play Necromunda loads back in the day, but we pretty much always had to use proxy gangers; usually Catachan or Cadians.

So like a lot of people I was blown away by the new plastic Necromunda gangs and had to buy some.

Funnily enough my gang of choice at the time was actually Van Saar. Plasma guns and superior firepower is just an instant sell.

But I really wanted the Escher gang since they have that whole Mad Max Amazon thing going and it gives them a really striking look.

So as for colour scheme, Iam not going to lie, it was going to be black and then another colour. End of discussion. :D So I opted for red as the alternate colour for their "armour" and massive hair that could cleave a man in two. I've actually had these sitting around for a while after I did the test figure but I had a few really productive days with the snowfall.

Iam planning on having a game with them sometime. Then I'll have a better idea about how gangs and progression works in the game.

House Delaque Gang

Necromunda is out and over at Section 8 we’ve been getting ready. I’ve been in the hobby a while, so I have some of my old necromunda gangs. I’ve decided to paint my Delaques as I suspect there will be a lot of Escher and Goliath gangs kicking around.

I love the aesthetic of the Delaques, super sneaky and dark. Some of these classic figures still look great, rebased on t(e new necromunda themed bases and they’re ready to go!

The Boss- Reet Sai’d’fred



One shifty looking bloke...







I love this figure, he looks like he’s sneaking around a corner

Fingers crossed some of the others will have their gangs done soon and we can play some games!
