Hi all !

I always wanted to do a small counts-as IG/SM/Ork army of Mafia Gansters for 40k, ye know, long jackets, sunglasses under hats, shotguns, oldtimers and all that stuff you see in movies and the like.

Now today I went to my local games & fantasy stuff store, and I found these:


The store is moving some houses down the street and therefore they have 20% on everything, so these were only 9€ each, so I picked up 2.

Anyway, after a lot of conversion work I came up with this: Enjoy and tell me what you think








Capt. E.

The hood ornament seems a little out of place to me, but otherwise I love it! What models are you going to use for your basic troopers?

That's a pretty neat ride for a Kill Team or something, but I have to agree with the above poster that the ornament is looks wierd. Also, the roof looks a bit rough compared to the rest of the car, unless you want it to look like a slab of material randomly stuck on. It might be worth converting it to either a fabric roof or more of a molded hardtop.

I can't wait to see the rest of the gang, please do post some pictures of them as well.

Those are some great fenders. You're going to need some Edward G Robinson sound effects.


"Nyah, see!"

20's Pimp my Ride.

use the Delaque models form Necromunda and model on the hats... it would work perfectly

Yes, that was what I planned to do

I'm thinking it might be worth trying this change, swap the headlights for the hood ornament, it may look a bit more 'right'.

I just thought Genstealer Cult Limo. I may steal that idea, someday.

That's so awesome Engelhardt! Are they boyz, er... I mean green-fellas? Or humies?

I'm hoping for some dapper Orks. 40k needs more dapper Orks, gangsters or not.

Ok, here are finished pictures ( some a bit blurry unfortunately):







The dirty, used and wacky look was intended, just in case anyone wonders :-P

Nice, the turret looks a little out of place, but if you'll be using it in (unofficial) games I guess it's necessary. I like the look, and the sunglasses are a nice touch. Maybe put a daemonhost with his feet in a bucket of cement to fill out the back a little.
