So my gaming group has a Necromunda campaign running and I thought I'd jump in with a Goliath gang. After playing a few games with the ridiculous old plastics and some used models, I built up a gang with some conversions and other fun stuff.

Left to right:
Steakbomb (leader) with power sword and bolt pistol
Whopper (heavy) with heavy stubber
Hot Links (ganger) with heavy club and shotgun
Porkpie (ganger) with bolter and knife
Pink Slime (ganger) with shock maul and autopistol
Quarter Pounder (ganger) with lasgun and stub gun
Cocktail Weenie (ganger) with bolter
So yeah, there's my gang, MEAT. I figure nothing's meatier than Goliaths. I'm thinking this whole thing will be a chance to try some new skin painting techniques since my current one isn't looking as good anymore.

Nothing too exciting yet - just putting basecoats down before washes. Layers and highlights to follow!


For the metals, I'm planning on a dirty, rusty look like on my Cultists:

Need a juve named po' boy. They are looking awesome. But I think that guys who are so image conscious as these ripped , that they'd keep all there metals polished. Just my opinion, ask anyone, it's not worth much.

Hah! That's definitely going to be my next juve's name. That's just too perfect. I'll definitely be painting a juve after this set - unfortunately all my juves have either been promoted, killed, or captured. Rest in piece, Hot Dog, Bologna, and Sausage Patty. You died with honor.

I know they're very big on image, but I feel like they're also not that bright and frankly not that wealthy! The boss' weapons will be in pretty good shape, but I figure most of the guys will have pretty beat up weapons. It's also just been too long since I painted rust and I want to paint more!

Painting is coming along on these guys! Might go one level higher on the flesh highlights before moving on to the pants and metals though:

Also, that's Po' Boy on the far right! He might see some basing and/or paint if he survives tonight...

You really have a skill for bringing these older GW minis to life with a fresh, clean paintjob. Will be lurking, as always.

Older GW minis? I still think of those as the new Goliath minis. And they are really great models. I actually think the original Goliaths have some merit too, they are often regarded as looking a bit ridiculous, but a good paintjob can make them look pretty cool I'd say: http://supermassivebeast.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/classical-goliath-gang-finished.html

The gang is looking good so far.

Why thank you! These guys are from the Necromunda relaunch in 2002, so while they're not exactly in the realm of old GW minis as I define it, they're definitely of a different era. I've got a second gang's worth of the old 90's models too if I ever need more dudes. They're not quite as good looking as the more modern ones, but they're definitely solid models for their age.

They're looking great! I was a little disappointed, I thought you were doing an all dark skinned (African? Political correctness has me baffled as to what I should say, no offense meant), gang. I was hoping for one of them to have a big gold "T" around his neck.

Nah, just a buncha honkies in this batch. I won't rule out a gold chain regardless at some point though! One of them done up like Mr. T and named T Bone would be pretty in theme for the gang, and let's face it, Goliaths would probably be down with some big shiny gold chains.

You could always make him a hired gun sidekick. And if he comes along you can have a black chimera with red racing stripes for the gang.

They look excellent brother srm. Every bit blipping with Goliath power and steroid abuse hazard lines are especially well executed.

I would never dream of depriving someone of hazard stripes. That would be tantamount to suffocation in my book .

These are awesome. I know (now) that these aren't as old as I thought, but you really bring them to life.

It's sheer nostalgia looking at your threads. In a good way though.

Favourite guys are Whopper & Pink Slime.

Planning on bashing some more guys together with Catachan/Ork parts? Or sticking to the Metals for now?

Fun fact, Pink Slime was actually an extra model that was packed with my Goliath gang when I bought em! Good on GW for giving me an extra dude He was really fun to convert though.

I'm planning on sticking to the metals for the most part. I've got some IG/Marine bits I might use here and there to customize a few of them. I got a silencer and a telescopic sight, so I think a Stalker-pattern bolter is in the cards.

And if you think my threads are nostalgic, wait until I paint up some of the older Goliaths I've got a whole mess of em and I'm trying to figure out which ones will get painted first.

Always room for more muscle In The under hive. Just keep them to this level and your golden. I like the newer goliaths more than the old dudes.

Looking good, SRM. Better buy up all you want now, though. What with Necromunda being phased out.

Finished up more dudes. The first two juves are nameless for now, the furthest Juve on the right is Po'Boy, and that's Quarter Pounder with the lasgun.





I took a heap of photos over the course of these guys that I'll turn into a tutorial once I've got the time.
