From SteveB: Goliath Necromunda (70 Points)


Due to a back problem I haven't been able to paint much, but have managed to get most of my Goliath Necromunda gang done. Only 5 more to do after this batch.


These were painted to a tabletop standard, I I think they turned out well.


I had a lot of fun with these guys, tried out some different skin tones.


So 14 finished 28 mm models I believe is 70 pts.

Great work Steve! These brutes will make a wonderful Goliath gang. I quite like that you gave them different skintones, reflecting a wide cross-section of the Hive's population. One's eye is always drawn to the guys with the Heavy Bolter and Heavy Stubber - those boys are real brutes (as they'd have to be to tote those hunks of ordinance). 

I'm also really admiring your basework. The decaying masonry, detritus and rubble are a great touch. 

70 points for you, sir! Well done.

  1. Old Skool GW Goodness. In My opinion (Not a humble opinion I hasten to add) Nrcromunda was the best game GW EVER made.

  2. Not sure I'd say its best GW game ever (Space Hulk, Blood Bowl and Epic would also have to be contenders) but Necromunda still remains Awesome, and so do the minis - which your great basing really set off well too. Great job Steve!

  3. A very strong entry. I would disagree with you that it is tabletop standard, I would rate it higher than that. Lovely work with the diverse skin tones, very nice.

    1. Steve is from Winnipeg (same as me) and yeah that is tabletop quality around here. Anything less and you would get laughed off the table! Mind you Steve paints at a very high level to begin with, so wait to see his show level stuff :-) And seeing these in real life, they are about 2x as good as the photos show.

    2. Now there is something else besides snow and crime that intimidates me about Winnipeg!

  4. Necromunda was a brilliant game - I'll have to dust off my Redemptionists some time!

    Great work on these Goliaths, Steve, well done!

  9. Gorgeous painting! These old Citadel sculpts do still look excellent, especially when painted to such a high standard.
