Orlock gang - The Hammersmith Hardmen

[Captain Idaho]

Been painting and happy to confirm I now have an Orlock gang painted up. My photography skills are still amateur but here they are:

 

 

 

 

Road Captain:

 

 

 

Arms Master and Road Sergeant:

 

 

 

Gunner and Specialist:

 

 

Greenhorns/fodder:

 

 

 

Wrecker:

 

 

Photography notwithstanding, I'm really proud of the paint jobs I've done here! Normally not so good at that but I've worked on it. Anyway the paint job is even better with eyes, bionic or otherwise.

 

Now, gonna add some Cyber Mastiffs, 2 more Wreckers, a Plasma gun toting dude, a melta gunner, the Lil Lugger, House Agent conversion... blimey sooooo much.

These look great mate. Are you going to add any of the Ash Wastes stuff?

[Captain Idaho]

Might do in preparation for the next campaign. But I'm thinking of adding Genestealer Cult vehicles there too as the mining aesthetic works.

[Axineton]

GSC vehicles are the best looking vehicles in the hobby in my opinion. And yeah they’d definitely go with an Orlock gang.

[Captain Idaho]

Yeah those rockgrinders etc are superb. Really feel like they portray Imperial civilian life and infrastructure behind the scenes.

 

I'll get at least 1! Probably 2!

[Axineton]

Nice! I love the bikes and quad too.

blame it on the photography, not the painting

[Captain Idaho]

I built a Hanger-on for the gang, a Prize Fighter. Also been accruing bits to make my own Wilcox Cinderjack, though the head is good the lack of goggles could be a problem lol.

 

Anyway here's the Prize Fighter:

 

 

Interesting take on him; I was torn on an Orlock head but shifted it too the set head with of the Corspe Grinder as he has an Iron Jaw and it felt right.

Lovely work!

[Captain Idaho]

Thanky 

 

Looking forward to doing some painting this weekend actually. Working on my Arms Master with Ark Hammer.

[Captain Idaho]

Ooo made a third weapon carrying cherub for my Road Captain, so I can float between the benefits of both a Servo Claw and Power Pick depending on target (with most of the time it being better to hit with both anyway).

 

 

Our campaign has plenty of softer targets with poor or no armour, so the servo claw is great but adding a power pick gives me options against the Enforcers and other characters and their armour.

 

And I didn't have to maim my model to do it!

[Captain Idaho]

We had a downtime scheduled so we could get a bit of a refresh and increase the rate of games and threat to territories (rackets) by challenges instead of accruing territories.

 

So with a healthy 250 credits and my stash, ready for a Pitfight with some bad enemies I built and painted this dude:

 

Jack "Bane-Hammer"

 

 

 

He's a unit! Took out a Sumpcroc and Goliath Stimmer, took a Necrobeamer to the chops and laughed then was exhausted by a rogue Deacon who took advantage of an exhausted dude who failed his charge.

 

2nd place lol. But he smashed and turns out Ark Hammers are alright.

 

Helps to have a Stim-slug stash and 1+ functional armour save eh.

[Dr_Ruminahui]

He looks like a real brute - nicely done.  I like the use of small spot colours like the red cords, the blue on the hammer and the green collar - really helps add some definition to an otherwise mostly black and metal model.

[Captain Idaho]

Thanks. I was actually really proud of glowing blue effect on the hammer as normally I struggle with such things, so means a lot you picked up on it. :)

 

I'm really enjoying painting Necromunda models. I'm working on the cherub with power pick I created and Prize Fighter and then I'll do some Mastiffs and finish up likely with 2 more Wreckers... because they're cool!
