Title: Best Necromunda Proxies
Post by: beefcake on August 24, 2017, 06:08:18 AM
With the upcoming release of Necromunda I've been thinking about other miniatures that fit into the Necromunda range.
I thought it would be nice to compile a list of places that would fit into the genre. So far I've thought of:

Heresy Miniatures Trencher (http://heresyminiatures.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2_15&zenid=e86q6hiddo02n05dd7309imdj3)s. Great for Delaque

The old Grenadier future gangs from EM4 (http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/Future_Skirmish.html) or Mirliton (http://www.mirliton.it/index.php?cName=future-warrior-28-mm) Many different gang types. Orlock, Goliath (with a little twist)

Or Pig Iron (http://www.pig-iron-productions.com/). A variation on Van Saar. Scavvy plague zombies and more.

Happily add more to the list please (I want more ideas!)

There's a company on Shapeways offering 3D printed female orkocks and delaques...
 I just can't remember the details!

Old metal Catachan Guardsmen as Orlocks and the newer plastic ones as Goliaths? On that note; (40K?) Orks with headswaps could work as Goliaths too.

Judge Dread Judges as Arbites.

Perry Indians (AWI) as Ratskins.

Any zombie range really, as Scavvies (but specifically thinking about Zombicide; they have Fatties, which could double as Scalies perhaps?).

Headswapped Eldar Aspect Warriors as Spyrers.

Pulp Miniatures (or basically any other range; there are a few out there)  Cultists as either Cawdor or Redemptionists.

I used the metal Tallarn regiment box for my Orlocks.

Copplestone Castings' and Em4 bikers as Orlocks?
Copplestone Castings' Scavengers a a little bit bigger than the Em4 ones and also have special and heavy weapons.
Foundry Apache and Plains Indians as ratskins.

Mad Robot have all sorts of generic kit with all sorts of bodies/heads to go with them... they'd make great gangs:

As do Anvil Industry:

https://anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=114

As already suggested, the Heresy Gangers are perfect for some Delaques:

... and you may be able to pick out a gang from here as well:

Some of the Wargames Foundry Street Violence range would work

I humbly suggest my female resistance fighters.

I was also going to say Foundry Street Violence for Orlocks, Goliaths, Delaques and Eschers with varying levels of conversion.

East Riding Miniatures Corporate Wars for proxy Arbites, Delaques, and assasins that could work as Spyers.

The old Shockforce Vengequan as Ratskins and their rednecks as Scavvies

Assorted Vasa and Syntha Void figures as Spyers. Viridians as possible Orlock conversions

There's also Bad Squiddo's post-apoc women for Eschers: http://badsquiddogames.com/shop#!/Ghosts-of-Gaia-Post-Apoc/c/23347141/offset=0&sort=normal (http://badsquiddogames.com/shop#!/Ghosts-of-Gaia-Post-Apoc/c/23347141/offset=0&sort=normal)

Rebel Miniatures have the former GoMC1 Dredd gangs.
The standard street gang could work perfectly as an Orlock gang.
http://www.rebelminis.com/28scstga.html

And of course there's plastic Chaos Cultists that are basically scavvies I guess. I got a compleste set on Ebay a while ago.
I recall seeing plastic marine scouts converted as arbites.

I would offer up the Outland War Party as an alternative to Ratskins....as that what I was looking for.

http://blindbeggarminiatures.co.uk/shop/categories/Sci-Fi/Outlanders


And the Dune Tribe as Ash Waste Nomads or Scavvies....

Ironclad's Sanwar.

There's a lot of nice stuff in Scotia Grendle's Void/Urban War ranges that could fit as gang members.

West Wind also does gang members akin to Copplestone/Grenadier in their Road Wars series.

Ahem...how about a shout out to our host?
Lots of figures in the Lead Adventure Miniatures stable.

I've seen voystroyans converted into ash waste nomads,
and you can have ork gangs/war bands
squat mining /prospecting/scavenging gangs
Stealer cult gangs
Nurgle cultists as scavvies
Em4/moonraker miniatures carry the old future savages miniatures
It depends on your own interpretation
I quite fancy doing rat skins with fur clad barbarians with guns
And the frostgrave soldiers with bolt action arms that we're on the Post apoc board could be hive scum or caravan merchant guards .

Northstar do a set of resin items to convert Frostgrave to SF, good with the cultists.

Urban war (http://www.scotiagrendel.com/Products/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=60) triads would be nice. Sumo could be scalies. Junkers as pit fighters, syntha as spyrers.

In the UK Forlorn Hope also stock the old Grenadier Future Skirmish range.

Wanted to give a nod to FH as I've always had great service from them.

Some of the Reaper Chronoscope range might also fit

Have you seen these Van Saar's made from genestealer cultists?
https://warbosskurgan.blogspot.it/2017/05/gangs-of-mancunius-dome-part-10.html
There are also some fantastic mutie techno-barbarians on the same blog.

Only  think I'd change about those Van Saar is getting some of  the Empire heads as the space marine ones look a tad big.
