This week I've turned my attention to finishing something off that I've finished off twice before.
My Orlocks for Necromunda.
Back in the late nineties I had the plastic models in the starter set, supplemented by the original metal gang box, and subsequently supported them with a Heavy with a flamer and a couple of models from other manufacturers to stand in as extra Juves.
They were one of the very few projects that I painted to completion at the time.
Fast forward more than a few years and I made a few alterations to the gang such as removing the unofficial models to be used in other projects, changing their bases and repainting their bandanas purple (from the original pale green) to enable them to be used as the Purple Dragons gang as opponents for my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles project.
Fast forward again and I rebased back to regular bases for a return to the Underhive and added a couple of Juves from eBay and a couple of plastic models (my originals disappeared somewhere down the years) to boost their numbers to more effective levels.
And so we reach the present day.
Another set of four metal models that I did not already own have found their way into my possession and I've been inspired to add them to the crew at last, bringing a good deal more long ranged firepower to the fray.
As ever, metal miniatures from. The nineties are packed with character, detail and a few questionable choices - I never did understand GW giving minis basic weapons, pistols and close combat weapons. It's almost as if the miniatures were designed without the game designers being consulted.
I have a similar job to do with some Goliaths, but I'm not sure that will be completed immediately.
