Hello, welcome!
I hope you guys (and girls) will like my Necromunda treats I have in store.

The fluff

'Untermensch' – A name given by the arbites acting as peacekeepers and caretakers.

The Untermensch are a breed of humanoids created in a secret development facility funded by wealthy beneficials interested in a newer kind of elite soldiers. But due to a security breach sensitive material was brought out and the project was abruptly terminated. All specimens in production were destroyed along with the research, leaving only the fully grown specimens as a nasty little reminder of what grew to be a very compromizing experiment,

Hence steps were taken and the live specimens were sold to a very cooperative and willing mining corporation whom made use of them by letting them mine deep, very dangerous and toxic parts of the underhive. Perhaps due to the lack of continued treatment or the toxic enviroment they worked in, the Untermensch underwent a drastic, rapid transmutation. As they grew bigger and stronger their mental capacities shrunk, leaving behind a group of very strong, underdeveloped form of cavemen.

To keep the Untermensch docile the mining corp, nourished their need for food and scrap metal, as it seemed in their nature to tinker with machines and buil/create thinks literally from scratch,
The caretakers provied these resources, acting like they're soms kind of mechanical Gods, what makes the Untermensch both fear and hate them,

Recently several upstirs resulted in small groups of what they call 'Moroniks' – outlaw daredevils foolish enough to cast of their yoke and venture about, stealing, marauding and plunderin',,,

The ingame stuff

My Moroniks are a Goliath based gang composed of ork nobs with ogre heads for gangers, ogres for heavies, gretchin for juves and Warbosses with ogre heads as gang leaders.

Gang Leader: GORO!

Goro is made up from Boss Snikrot, wielding a chainsword, shotgun with manstopper rounds and a knife.









I havent mastered the skill of good photo editing yet, I hope that'll change.
Hope to get loads of CC, I'm always trying to push the envelope, growing, evolving.

Interesting start, he truely has a massive head!

Hope for more.

nice chainsaw

Great start. The story is really cool and the conversion is well done.

I look forward to seeing where this goes.

Looking forward on following this.

I love that shot gun. You should be stoked.

It's a very cool model but I don't like the name - untermensch. You should think about what sort of associations people are going to have with it and what sort of message you want to put out.

Thanks guys, I'll be posting the rest of what I got soon, pics are on the way.

@ jackanory : Yeah, I know what you mean, but that name is just what the guards used to call them, the focus is on 'Moroniks' - the renegades.

@jackanory: Have you notice that the entire empire is xenophobic? They even refuse technology that is not sanctioned. The truth is anybody with an imperial guard army or a space marine army is fielding a rather Nazi like regime. This game is dark, and the names and views of the characters fielded do not represent the player or even the creators. This is a satire. Have you noticed how much Games workshop satires Catholicism? One of my favorite armies to field are my noise marines, this doesn't mean that after a game I pack my minis up go home and rape somebody in my basement until they die so that I can extract hormones from them to take as drugs. Nor does it mean that I condone hedonism to a self destructive level. This entire game has become increasingly dark and satirical as time goes by. His creative name that stands for under man perfectly represents the fascist culture that permeates the Imperium, and I love that they would give a clearly dismissive name to these enhanced people, who for all intent are merely victims of a culture that should have been there only protection in a brutal universe. It is the responsibility of the individuals that Dok is communicating with to execute critical thinking. If they are not capable of this I question whether or not a game with slaannesh, dark eldar, necrons and worst of all the empirium is the right game to them to take part in.

Wow MeatShield, not only did you hit the nail on the head, you left me kinda shocked of how well you interpretation my vision. Much obliged, I salute thee!

To get back on topic, I present a WIP of my ganger Buzz:



I have been pushing it to the limit, challenging myself to kick up a notch my painting skills. I amazed myself! *glooms*

More will follow, I'll try to keep this thread more active.

I totally get where both of you're coming from there, and if you take a look in my Necromunda thread you'll notice that one of my guys looks worryingly like a skinhead (I just like the fashion), but I guess I have a problem with it because, to me, using a real-world word brings it too close to the reality.
I know it seems silly given the nature of the 40k universe but it just jars me to see the real words used.

Anyway I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Moroniks develop, especially how you work the gretchin in! The WIP guy's paintjob is looking really nice and smooth.
