Before I go on a wild chopping spree, just wondered if anyone had pondered the 'look' of gangs and how best to match that with the right base GW kit.

Orlocks/GSC/'Generic' (outcasts etc) - seem best suited to GSC vehicles and bikes. Certainly some of the gear (bikes and light vehicles) seem to fit escher as well?
Goliaths - Well goliaths, any big heavy vehicles, so maybe some IG equipment converted to civilian use. They don't seem to fit bikes. Maybe the old CSM bikes? Strike me as more of a trike force with few good options for that yet.
Enforcers - Taurox and space marine bikes (judge dredd style). In fact anything Dredd like really. Perhaps a 'lawman' train. You too can play Colt Express - Necromunda edition.
Van Saar - Ad mech basis for gear? Would need to make it a bit more scuttling.
Cawdor - torn between civilian trucks and Ork vehicles as the basis. Ork vehicles could potentially do other 'outlaw' factions as well.

I could imagine Escher on Tau light gear, but does the Tau look really fit with any gang? Form wise they look bit like air caste, but I don't know if I could get the vehicles to look right for the setting. Plus bikes I doubt have a hover function.

Delaque I thought maybe Dark Eldar stuff as a base, but it looks a bit too fast for the gang?

In general I think the Ork kits because they vary so widely could be used across a few different factions and fitting the jury rigged look well. Might have to try and split them up by styles though - 'Wagon for say goliath, truk for cawdor and different buggies for different gangs.

Any other thoughts on the wider range of vehicles? And making several distinct looks for different gangs?

Personally sad I can't use my mutie and grot GorkaMorka stuff with nomads as they are fleas only.
