Hi folks,
My final entry for this years challenge, and the fourth gang I've painted for Necromunda. This time, the mighty Goliaths - vat born abhumans with more brawn than brains.
This gang, the 'Skull Boltz', was initially themed around bolt weapons. However these weapons are bloody expensive and so make for a small starting gang. As such, I went with cheaper options of weapons and focused on axes... with a plan to equip with bolt weapons as we play through a long campaign. The gangers are plastic GW offerings, with some plastic and resin upgrade bits and a couple of beastman axes.
Paint scheme wise, I was really impressed with the Vallejo Xpress orange colour - so matched that in with some greys and the likes for a nice bright and industrial looking gang.
I also painted up a proxy model for a 'Zerker' - described in the game material as 'a fighter whose body has become warped and swollen to gigantic proportions by the effects of the combat stimms pumping through their veins'. This model was purchased via Etsy from CrisisActorMinis (who incidentally also sell blanchet esq models which might be suitable for root veg enthusiasts). It's worth noting that I sought a proxy for this model as the Forgeworld kit is hideous as well as expensive.
An excellent final entry James. I look forward to seeing you next time we roll out.

Nice gang and "grab" vehicle, James! You've done well getting so many Necromunda gangs painted alongside everything else - well done! :)
ReplyDeleteGood looking orange and I really like the terrain/vehicle. I have painted one myself, but is more boring than yours. :)
