Just finished off 18 Van Saar and one scum. The first Necromunda figures I've painted in nearly 20 years! This was also my first completed project using Champ Industries bases and Winsor Newton Galeria Acrylic Matt Varnish.


A few examples.



Pics of all the figs as well as the cigar box I converted for transport and my review of the bases and varnish here:

Nice to see some van saar models painted!

I like the more realistic and less garish painting scheme you've gone for, it makes them look different to others.

Love the bases and they really suit necromunda

Good job and thanks for sharing

Thank you!
I'm very glad you liked them. I wanted to pay homage to the old classic green Van Saar while updating it a bit and toning down the brightness.

Great looking gang! Really nice colour composition and good job on the bases. The only thing i would suggest, is to drill out the guns. But thats just my personal taste.
Good job, do you have plans for another necromunda gang?

Thanks! Most of the larger barrels where drilled out, but not the smaller ones. As for future gangs I have plans for a few actually.

I have the miniatures for a Cawdor gang that will probably be my next gang once I finish up a couple other projects on the bench.

A month ago I was starting to work on a set of "Slicks" miniatures from East Riding Miniatures to convert into a Delaque gang, but the legs kept breaking off when I would grind away the integral bases, so I shelved that project for now until I can get enough plastic booted legs to replace the broken ones..

I have a batch of the original plastic Orlocks painted up. I've found a heavy, and now if I can just find a couple of juve models I'll finish up that one also.

Laslty, I've got a rather big gang of Escher waiting for paint, but I want to put that one off as long as possible as I've never had much luck painting well-sculpted female figures.

Looking good Elif. I see you are a fan of Flamers and swords in Necro as well.

These guys will look good in a variety of games.

Thanks, though you give me too much credit. I can't claim to have enough knowledge about the game to be a fan of any particular weapons loadout, but swords are cool and the flamer seemed like a good second line choice along with the plasma after the heavy stubber.
