ERM Slicks converted to Necromunda Delaque

[eilif]

Here's my Slick Delaque complete, converted and ready for paint.
This is two of the packs of ERM Slicks plus one of their Corporate Enforcers all from their "Corporate Wars" line.

Probably some of my best use yet of the necromunda weapons (and others) that I've been hoarding. I'm very happy with the way these have turned out. A few of the conversions are a bit forced, but overall, I think they look good and the trouble in removing the huge cast-on bases (and replacing broken feet with Heroclix feet) and putting them on Sedition Wars scenic bases has turned out to be well worth it.

In a week or so these will be off to a buddy of mine who is painting them for me in exchange for me converting and painting up a Fisher Price Parking Garage for him.

Whole Gang


Leaders, etc
The old Warzone chainsword is a very nice size for non-space-marine characters, and the old ork bolt pistol is a medium size that could probably be run as a bolter or bolt pistol.


Heavies
Reaper Flamethrower and tanks, Cadian Grenade Launcher (might be a good starter leader) and a Van Saar Heavy Stubber.  The Last two were both made from the Slick figure with arms out to the sides. Some careful limb bending made for much easier conversion.


Long Guns.  
Las and Autoguns from Necromunda weapon sprues (love those things).


Various Pistols and Shotgun
Basic weapon swaps. The flame pistol should be fun...


More Pistols.
The Stub gunner on the right is one of only two stock figures (the long haired shotgunner with glasses is the other)

Looks good, very clever.  I think they'll work out lovely.

I use them "as is" as some of the necromunda weapons look very big on them.

If you've seen the Heresy gangs they're good as delaques.

and the Heresy weapons are better in scale with the Bowen Slicks.

If anyone is interested in these figs, here's how they scale up.

One of they guys who played Necro with us for a while had a the Heresy Trenchcoat-not-Delaque.  Really impressive figures, but at 3x the price I wasn't particularly interested.

I've got a bunch of the Heresy guns.  They are much more realistically scaled than the necromunda stuff and would fit well with the Slicks.  However, the Necromunda/GW weapons are, IMHO, a notable element of the Necromunda aesthetic and when on the table with other Necromunda figs the Heresy pistols look pretty weedy.  I did use one of the large sniper rifles on a Van Saar though.

Also a shotgun made it onto the backpack of one of my bounty hunters

The Necro guns are big, but that's kind of standard for necromunda figures and GW figs in general.

Some of those guns are bloody massive, but I think that adds to the charm and character of them.

I bought a pack of them and did something similar for JDMG, and I run them as mobsters.

Yep, classic GW "Heroic".  Never could figure out why their guns are even more outsized than their figures, but that's kind of the look.

I'd love to see what you came up with for your Slicks.

Here you go



I also got some guys to use as my Citi Block def.

Those slicks are brilliant!

I haven't seen many examples of the Interpol troopers, but now I'm more sure than ever that I will someday have to do a unit of Arbites/Enforcers with them.  Add a few bolters/shotguns, cut eye slits and some eagles slapped on their foreheads and that'd about do it!

Nice work on the slicks . Some of the hands could do with repositioning but on the whole, they look pretty good .

I have never really been that inspired by ERM... but I did dip my toes in the water with some interpol troops (so there are some out there ):
