Hello, I've recently become interested in Necromunda, so I dug out my bits box and started converting.

I'd probably play these guys as Orlocks. Any tips? They're also still somewhat WIP.

Also, would you guys recommend arming my leader with a more powerful gun? I like the idea of an extra attack in CC, but giving him a Special weapon is tempting. And I can't have both, so...

Leader - Laspistol (atm), Chainsword.



Ganger - Lasgun, Knife


Ganger - Shotgun, Knife

Shotgun Conversion


Heavy - Heavy Stubber, Lasgun, Knife



More gangers to come but I'm low on bits.

Very nice so far

I like what you've done for the shotgun. I've been pondering ways to do it for my Guard.

Great conversions with the guard bits, especially the shotgun.

I like it. Don't forget to get some underhive junk on the bases, thats what makes the models look good in necromunda. All those catachan arms make them look a bit like the goliath gang, but without the piercings.

maybe you could play them with a unique story line, like they're counts as orlocks but they're a penal legion squad who've been sent to the underhive to hunt down their old c/o who left them for dead...

Nice gang! I love the heavy stubber!

And I agree with s.j.mccartneys opinion about the arms and the penal legion background stuff.

awesome

DELAQUE ALL THE WAYYYYY BABYYYYY.

Thanks guys. Nice ideas, s.j.mccartney. I'll base them later, I need some plasticard and stuff.

Actually, I can't really even make anymore gangers, I'll have to order some bits.

They're a shouty bunch, aren't they!

Nice work using all those spares to such good ends

I second that lol

Indeed, they're loud and proud.

I just won some bits on Ebay so expect some more gangers soon... any tips on how I can make them better? Or perhaps tips from other Necromunda players on equipment, etc?

So here's something a little crazy I started today: Heavy with flamer, lasgun, knife

yes, it was originally the gunner from an Ork Wartrakk.


I replaced the boots with Cadian boots, to make him shorter. Then I cut off the head and carved away to make it look like his bare chest and jacket.

Still needs some work, obviously.

Looking good ^_^ I love the modelling prospects with a new necromunda gang.... One question though, I thought you could give any ganger anything even the leader but they can only use one thing per turn, for instance my gang leader has a flamer, lasgun, chainsword and 2 knives ^_^ VERY overpriced XD

The issue is that he only gets an extra attack in close combat if he is only carrying the sword and pistol. Once you give him another weapon you lose the bonus. At least, that's my understanding of the rules.

Ah fair enough, I haven't read the rules in a long time I just wanted to give him every weapon under the sun XD

I really like the one whit a ammo belt hanging from his gun.

ah, i always thought it was as long as you had those weapons you could use them... think in 40k a chaos marine has a bolt pistol a bolter AND a chain sword, but he still gets his extra attack...(i know were talking a bout necromunda not 40k here but necromunda is based of 2nd edition 40 k so...)

anyway, im really impressed by the flamer guy, i never thought of using that model as a fat human, good idea well executed i await up dates eagerly

I've been thinking of starting Necromunda for ages. Just downloaded and started reading the rules.
Unfortunately no one in my local area plays.

Nice start, I hope you manage to get some paint soon

You can have more than one weapon and still get the extra attack, but it depends on how you use it. Whenever you use a weapon, you are considered to be holding it until you do something else, when someone charges you, you are allowed to drop a weapon and draw a weapon. So you could have say, A laspistol and hand flamer, and if someone charges you, drop the hand flamer and draw the CC weapon. The problem being that most of the weapons you would want to use are 2 handed(lasgun, autogun, plasma gun, flamer, etc) So theres no way you could then draw the pistol and CC weapon.

would you be able to drop a help 2 handed weapon (flamer....autogun...lasgun..ect.) and draw a 2 handed weapon...(eviscerater)

Or for instance, the goliath HUGE SWORD?

Yeah that's what I thought. So if I also gave him a meltagun, he cant drop the meltagun and draw both weapons, therefore losing the extra attack. If only plasma pistols were an Orlock house weaon...

listen listen..until you put some nice cloaks on them and goggles and call them ooooo IDK DELAQUE they still wont be as rockin_ (but love the conversions keep up the good work shhh dont tell I strayed from the delaque)

Hehehe, Trench Coats and goggles are the fluff based clothing of the Delaque gangers, but you can say they are, nothing to say otherwise but they could easily be Goliath or Orlock, but Delaque are awesome so I don't blame you for making a Delaque gang, they where my first gang also ^_^

I dunno, I'm not a fluff nut but I think it would be silly to use these models as Delaques.

So my bits have arrived, but they're stuck in my mailbox since my building manager took our mail keys for one reason or another and is taking waaay too long to return them. I can see the envelope through the slot. I think Ima give him a call today.

So, any more modeling tips on these particular models? I want to sculpt more little details onto them to help set them apart from just being IG kitbashes, but I haven't had any ideas.

Oh sorry, I misread a post XD I though they where Delaque, they do look Orlock or Goliath, but more Orlock I'd say... avoid chains and biker stuff, that looks goliath but use jackets and maybe a few punky hairdo's, piercings are also good for juves...

Hey there, update time! My bits arrived in the mail, and while my landlord hasn't returned our mail key, I discovered that my garage door key from my parent's house opens my mailbox at my apartment. Hooray for quality locks.

I'm really liking the look of the cadian arms on the catachan torsos, turning the vests into jackets. I'll probably paint them brown (for leather) and the shoulderpads black.

C&C greatly appreciated! I need more sculpting ideas to make these guys more unique.

Ganger w/Lasgun and knife.
My favourite of all the new ones.



Ganger w/lasgun and knife
I'm not sure I like how this guy's turned out so far. There's something funny with the proportions, and I have no idea why...



Ganger w/ bolter, knife, bionic arm
I don't know if I'll use this guy in this particular gang, but I like how the model turned out.

bionic arm guy is pretty nice lookin
good stuff here
