Title: PMs Necromunda : New Van Saar basic gang completed 15 June 2018
Post by: Pappa Midnight on 29 January 2018, 04:35:15 PM: Just completed two miniatures as "tests" for my gang colours.
First up is Lexxa Vaine the leader of the "Murder Dolls" ( House Escher). I've gone for a glam/goth hybrid.

Next is Khurgan Lighthammer of the "Forge Kings" ( House Goliath). I've painted him pretty much classic Goliath with red armour plates.

I think these will be pretty slow going but I will add more as I finish them.

This is again one of those threads where I need to zoom out in order to really appreaciate the meticulous brushwork. In real size those figures are absolutely stunning!

Post by: Michka on 09 February 2018, 04:52:42 AM: This Escher gang is the best painted version I've ever seen. They are so vibrant and fun. Best of all, they remind me of old punks. Or at least how old punks think they looked.

Post by: Vampifan on 21 February 2018, 12:20:16 PM: I absolutely love these! I had also planned on giving my own Eschers pink armour but I'm inspired by your paint jobs to give them white faces as well. 8)

Post by: Vanvlak on 21 February 2018, 01:52:42 PM: Nice work - another classic PM paint show 8) 8) 8)
The one with her face half-hidden with the huge mohawk is particularly splendid.
The Goliath looks as if he's borrowed his colours from your Chaos Dwarfs - and that's a compliment 8) 8) 8)
Title: Re: PMs Necromunda Gangs WIP: New Gangers added 19 Feb 2018
Post by: horridperson on 22 February 2018, 03:40:33 AM: Wow! Those are both awesome paint schemes. The vibrant purple of the Escher and the chalk white faces are really striking. The Goliath doesn't "pop" as much but it suits the brutal, utilitarian gang perfectly.
Title: Re: PMs Necromunda Gangs WIP: New Gangers added 19 Feb 2018
Post by: Pappa Midnight on 22 February 2018, 10:46:50 AM: Thank you all for the comments. I originally had the idea of painting them with a "kabuki theatre" theme and having them with katanas and back banners. As soon as I used the magenta paint on the armour I changed to 80s glam/punk.
I intentionally kept the Goliath looking more muted and business like to contrast with the peacock Eschers.
I'm still waiting on parts to build minis for gang advancements with more specialist and heavy weapons!

I should have some more Goliaths completed soon.

Regards
PM

btw:I will have to change my camera as the Eschers are not so bubblegum pink in real life!

Post by: Coenus Scaldingus on 23 February 2018, 08:07:46 PM: Great looking gang you've got there; although I've seen people hypothesise how something like this would look (and I've been wondering myself as well), it's great to see a striking black and purple punk goth so well applied to these figures.

Thank you. I'm pretty pleased with the result,

I've just completed a few more Goliath minis. Not as flamboyant as the Eschers but still fun to paint.

I have added a couple of "specialists" to my Eschers in the form of a flamer and a heavy stubber. Simple conversions using a hvy stubber from the Orlocks set and a Tempestus Scions flamer. The "beefy" arms are from WH flagellants.

Last up is my finished squat bounty hunter. I wasn't happy with the original head so I blended it with a AOS Fyreslayer. Pretty pleased with the result:

Post by: sir_shvantselot on 08 March 2018, 05:24:15 PM: Your paint jobs capture the colour but also grittiness of Necromunda but the Escher look too fiddly for me to paint. Like the squat and prefer your head.

Post by: Elbows on 08 March 2018, 08:03:29 PM: The Squat conversion looks far better than the mini they special-released. Well done.

Not much progression on the Necromunda front but I have finished a sample Stat Card which I will be using for "skirmish" games ( pick up and use rather than campaign).

(https://i.imgur.com/IyUq7B0.jpg)

I'm also really stoked for the new hi-tech look Van Saar, who I never really liked!

I noticed that Forgeworld have pre-orders up for new Escher Weapons and a download for the updated Escher weapon list.

I think GW is really pulling the stops out ( if only they would proof read their rules....... )

BTW: those interested , a link to a site with some new Van Saar pics, Escher weapons and downloadable PDF.

I've gone for a dark, muted colour scheme which I think gives them a serious, no nonsense vibe.
First up my leader and a couple of Champions.
