Hey folks! So Necromunda is always something I wanted to try, but for one reason or another never quite pulled the trigger. Now that I'm in with a group that's just starting up, I figured it's only proper to get my own gang rather than borrow everybody else's.
I chose the Delaques, they've always been my favourite by a mile purely by looks, and reading up on their style I think they're also a good fit there too. Rather than scour ebay for the originals, I instead decided to use Heresy's trenchcoat gangers with a few third party weapons from Victoria Miniatures, Anvil Industry, and bases by Secret Weapon.
Still waiting on the Anvil Industry stuff, but I had accumulated the rest by the weekend and got to chopping and sticking:

All that's missing are a couple of shotgunners, so once the bits arrive I can get them assembled and my starting gang will be complete!
-
Very nice. The heavy looks great :)
-
Nice work! The gang leader and the one with the heavy stubber are probably my favorites.
-
Thanks guys!
The shotguns arrived yesterday and I tried them out, but they're a little too bulky for my tastes. I've also been having second thoughts about the bases and bolters so I think I'll be going back and changing them all.
-
Nice work - looking forward to seeing these painted.

It took a while, but the new bits arrived. I got some Champ Industries bases and MaxMini shotguns and swapped them in.

I painted the melee guy first as a test, seeing as how Delaques are a more shooty gang, it wouldn't be a disaster if he went badly. Thankfully, I'm happy with the result:

Now just to get the rest done...

Looking good!

What company are the laser rifles?

As I mentioned on my Fallout thread, I went on vacation for a couple of weeks, and took my Necromunda Delaques along as a vacation project. I got a little done, didn't quite have time to finish them. here's how they look for now:

Hunting Rifle, Heavies, Juves, Boss

Hoping to have them done by the end of this weekend!
The main reason I didn't finish painting them was that I got a little distracted and kind of started making an Enforcer gang... oops...
Sergeant and Cyber-mastiff

Shotguns

Bolters (the guy on the right is my favourite of the gang, love how he came out)

Shock Mauls and Riot Shields

Super simple conversions, using Tempestus Scions as the main body, Ad Mech Vanguard heads (my brother assembled a squad of Rangers so he gave me the spare heads), Space Marine Scout weapons and the mauls and shields are from maxmini. I ended up being one base short so I have one guy left to assemble, so once the bases arrive and I get him done I can get to painting those bad boys! 8)

Looking awesome. Can't wait to see them painted up.
-
Both gangs look great - well done!
I do wish Andy at Heresy would so one or two more Juve poses and then tackle a different gang, but then again I've been asking him for years to no avail... :?
Anyway, looking forward to seeing your Delaques finished; I think they're looking sharp already, and with bases and details done they ought to really stand out on the table.
-
A brilliant kit bashing to get some great results.
The Heresy figures look even better now that you have made your alterations too.
The paintwork is coming along just fine too.
:-* :-*
-
Great Looking conversions!
-
Thanks folks! :D

Agreed, the juves definitely need a bit more variety. Especially since we're spoiled for choice with the heavies and regular gangers.
-
Well the Delaques are finally done and ready to hit the table!

I'm really pleased with how they came out, they were an absolute joy to paint. I definitely intend on getting some more a few months down the line to give me some more options.
So next on the painting table are the Enforcers from before. To make them a bit more interesting than the same old dark, police-ish type theme, I instead took some inspiration from the same source as the original concept for that particular faction and tried it out on a test figure...
(http://i.imgur.com/hqdeIou.jpg)
Again, really happy with how it turned out so I'm going to go ahead with this scheme on the rest. Should give the squad a suitably striking appearance!
-
They painted up really well, and I really like your enforcers.
-
So it's been a fair while since I've worked on anything. Getting into X-Wing and then Fallout 4 has that effect, apparently :P
Anyways, I decided to get back to the half-finished Enforcers, and the paint scheme just wasn't doing it for me. So in direct contradiction of my original motivation for choosing it, I went back and devised this based on the Adeptus Arbites artwork and paint schemes I could find on the internet. I also removed the small armour plates hanging down from the belt to give a more streamlined and practical look. New scheme is on the right.

Like I said, the very kind of police-ish thing I deliberately avoided before, but I actually prefer it. So I painted him up, went out and bought another two boxes of Scions and one of the Ad Mech guys so I can get some special weapons options. Then I bought a Land Speeder Storm and a Sentinel - probably not for use in Necromunda itself, but I wanted to give them a couple of thematic vehicles just because.
-
Yes, very nice. The new scheme looks better. Trying to work out why, but it definitely does!
