Legiocustodes Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I have recently been setting up a Rogue Trader Campaign for my girlfriend and I and so have been expanding my forces. What I wanted were some non-generic models that I could use to form a backward, poorly equipped Guard or PDF Militia regiment. These can be fielded by the planetary governor or inducted by the Inquisition. Additionally I am working on the background for a Genestealer cult who will be taking on the role of the baddies. I am okay for hybrids and purestrains but I was a bit short in the way of appropriate brood brothers...so these fellas can double hat for that role! Luckily I had some old school Necromunda Orlocks to hand and these classic 'thugs' fitted perfectly the image that I wanted for the force! I have painted up ten already, and am now starting work on the next ten (including some heavies!) The added bonus is that this also gives me a battle ready gang for games of Necromunda... Winner! There's a few more photos and a bit more detail on my blog at: http://classicastartes.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/necromunda-genestealer-cult.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Looking Good.Wish they would revisit that Game with plastics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegsmacht Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Neat I haven't seen a lot of stuff from Necromunda so this was good to look at. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legiocustodes Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Looking Good.Wish they would revisit that Game with plastics. Me too, it's got such a lot of potential, but I'm not sure small skirmish games that only require 10-12 models a side really fit GWs current business model of massed armies and 1000s of models. Maybe they'll do a small release like Space Hulk 3rd Edition. Neat I haven't seen a lot of stuff from Necromunda so this was good to look at. :) I'm glad to have helped, these old models are really lovely and there is a lot of character in them! Plus I love the feel of a heavy metal miniature! I'll try and get some more painted up and posted soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousand Eyes Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Good call on that stuff. I only recently uncovered my old gangs, we got big into that game. So I now have 40 odd gangers from four different houses, who will mostl likely all become chaos cultists. Nice idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah these guys make great cultists, don't get me wrong I like the new cultists from Dark Vengeance, but sometimes you want something a bit more subtle ... I don't care how stupid a planets government is, if people start running around with chaos stars all over them and death masks stapled to their faces then somebody is probably going to guess what's going on!

spafe Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I dunno, they could easily think 'oh look, there goes another cawdor gang' :-p I'm still building my goliaths up, hoping to pick up another 8 man box set at salute, then I'll have almost enough for a full strength platoon to join my guard army!

Haha true enough, those crazy Cawdor guys...but at least no eight pointed stars!! The Goliaths are cool models, will you field them as standard guardsman, I reckon with their weapons options they would make good veterans (especially the shotguns!)

spafe Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I think currently its a psc, 2 units of 10 and a veteran squad due to the weapon loads outs as they are also used for necromunda so a variety of weapons in a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legiocustodes Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 That's similar to how I'm going to proxy mine I think. Luckily I usually play second edition 40k with a fairly liberal gaming group so bespoke loadouts are permitted in guard platoons anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Nice. Always good to see Necromunda models around, they all have a lovely "cheesey 80s action movies" vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers made, I think one of the reasons I love the Orlocks is because they do look like the baddies out of the double dragon games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
