Best Necromunda Proxies
« on: August 24, 2017, 05:08:18 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 Trenchers. Great for Delaque

The old Grenadier future gangs from EM4 or Mirliton Many different gang types. Orlock, Goliath (with a little twist)

Or Pig Iron. 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.
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

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.

Some of the Wargames Foundry Street Violence range would work

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

Rebel Miniatures have the former GoMC1 Dredd gangs.
The standard street gang could work perfectly as an Orlock gang.

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.

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.
