Speaking of Necromunda..

It will be nice to get to play this game again. I basically start from scratch now, although I do have an old Scavvie gang, I want to replace those miniatures gradually. Will need a table, tons of scenery, and I'll start with Escher and Enforcer gangs. The first half of the enforcers were posted in the previous update. The other half still need to be ordered.

Anyway, here are the few minis that have been done:

My Escher leader to be:

 Scavvie replacements:

 The old fella got a little mutation, too. 

But no marines vs aliens game can be complete without some Lean, Mean, Killing Machines, who keeps screaming GAME OVER MAN!

As I mentioned in the previous post, they will also stand in for Enforcers in Necromunda. Hence all the Dredd quotes and shoulder pads. I went for a SWAT like paint scheme, which being pretty dark should fit well with the 'alien' theme.

Here they are:

Next project up is Tyranid Attack. The old miniatures where almost completely smashed and destroyed after being in a (probably rat infested) barn for the last 15+ years.

Still, it's a decent, fun game, and I will do my best to get it up and going again.

All I need are a few Tyranids, and a couple of packs of Space Marines.

I decided to make my own twist though. And make the Tyranids and marines alien inspired.

On top of that, the SM Scouts will stand in for Enforcers in Necromunda, so they will see a lot of use in the coming months.

Due to some pieces missing, I'll have to make some new tokens with my printer, as well.


Here are some of the progress on the Tyranids:

This was the prototype, the first one made from original genestealer bits:

 I then decided to buy some bits from Epoch Studioz, which yielded a great result. This is pre-gloss, as pictures of glossy miniatures are hard to get 'right'. Below that, you can see the finished gloss version:

One thing which is not possible to purchase anymore are the hybrid genestealers. I had to find replacements for those, and ended up with these, from Reaper minis:

The game eventually got ready enough to be playable, and I am looking forward to the first session with the new miniatures:
