Old Mini......New Paint Job.... "Fist of Anubis" added

[JollyBob]

Really nice work Papa Midnight, lovely metalics! 

And yes, the VOR range is still available through Ral Partha Europe too.

Actually the Necrons made their first appearance in Gorkamorka in 1997 and a free Necron figure was included in WDUK 217 (Februari 1998). Vor came shortly after that.

...

... and the first appearance of what might reasonably be called 'proto-necrons' was in Space Crusade, which came out in 1990. At least, my understanding is that the Necrons developed from the "Chaos Androids" of that game (basically, they're all undead cybermen, aren't they?)

Brilliant paint job PM, absolutely love the red gems on the gold armor . Cant wait to see more. I look forward to VOR 2.0 as well, due to having about 30 union sitting on the paint table waiting camo

I've had a look at the game when it was published but it never really took off in the Netherlands and I didn't buy it. It didn't appeal to me that much either. Instead I got into VOID which was also available at roughly the same time and had some connections with Warzone.

Wrongo!!! As has already been pointed out you can find chaos androids back in the jointly published GW & MB games advanced space crusade and in epic scale 1st edition spacemarine too.

Anyway...

Lovely pharon there, as already said a great stargate proxy, what did the rest of the range look like, ancient or modern, (never got into Void/warzone really).

Thanks for all the comments!

I'm really pleased that VOR is making a bit of a come back. I never really understood its failings to start with....Good background, good combat system and the facility to make your own custom units.......what's not to like? I wasn't that struck on the Union Troopers but the Pharons , Growlers and Neo-Soviets were cool.
I've got some Pharon troops of various types which I will probably re-paint and them boost up with some converted GW Tomb Lords.

I'll post some pics of my other minis soon.

It was FASA going under that did it. Fortunately the creator had a net in his contract for just such an occasion, so all rights went back to him. Some legal struggles for art and such later, personal things, yadda yadda yadda, he's now back on track.

Yeah it took a few years but he finaly got it back.

[Pappa Midnight]

Just finished a couple of "Fist of Anubis" minis to go with my Pharon Lord.

Missed the update for this. Really cool work, Pappa. You have convinced me to get a Pharon Lord to use as a Goa'uld construct for my Jaffa army. I both hate and admire you.
