    Necromunda-Space Hulk Project. Non GW Minis.

    Good Day all,

    I have for a while been crazy about these 2 games. Ever since the 80's for space Hulk. I think it stems from the movie Aliens. I just loved the Colonial Marines.

    Well anyway, ive wanted to do some non GW standins for Necromunda and Space hulk, as the minatures are crazy prices now. Thats if you can even get the new version of Space Hulk. The board sections seem to be quite common on Ebay, hence me picking up several boxes for £20 each. I also have the complete version from the 80's with all the books and expansions.

    I came accross some minatures at crusade last year (wargame convention in penarth) and decided that if I finish one of my current projects I would treat myself to some. They finally came in the post On friday, so I get to start converting and painting today.

    1st off Im going to make a Van Sarr gang for a Necromunda tornament that I am hosting this weekend through the Tewkesbury Wargamers group. 10 Guys shouldnt be too dificult to get ready in 5 days.........

    Below is a snap shot of some of the spares, the main gang has been glued and sprayed already.....

    Nice use of those em4 minis, I have a few of theirs for my Fallout project. I plan on getting some of the guys you have (minus helmets) for Talon Co mercs.
    Good to get an idea how they'll look painted up. You've done a great job!

    They are very cool. I was going to say that they look too well equipped to be gangers, but then I paid attention and saw they were Van Sarrs Perfect! Great work on the camo too.

    Re: Necromunda-Space Hulk Project. Non GW Minis.

    I worried about that also half way through painting them, then I though maybe if they survive long enough they will get armour. Wold make a decent enforcer unit as well.

    Really nicely painted figures, Chris, the skin tones have been very well done and I like the camo.

    It's nice to see some em4 figs painted up, quite a rarity round here. Let us know how the Necromunda campaign treats you!
