Underhive punks

As is perhaps obvious from the title of this post, it deals with Necromunda (Let's get you in the mood! Here is a playlist I've been compiling for Necromunda. I admit the two songs by The Clash might seem a bit out of place but I figured atleast some punk was practically required). I was very excited when GW decided to rerelease the game last year, Necromunda was the one Specialist Game I was waiting for the most. I originally discovered the game by accident, finding the Underhive rulebook (last edition of the old Necromunda, which was somewhat divisive) in a local games store and falling in love with the setting. I was never able to play the old incarnation as I wasn't able to convince my friends to take the plunge with me - fairly understandable to be fair, given that by then the minis were all direct only, our terrain collections lacking and the Necromunda cardboard terrain sets out of production. So, I was pretty happy (read: ecstatic) when the announcement for the rerelease came.While I haven't been able to play as much as I'd like yet (this will hopefully change in the near future as there is a campaign running in my FLGS), I have my gang of underhive scum hailing from House Escher - Suzy and the Slayers.

Suzy and the Slayers


 I went for the classic minis (great sculpts!) and a classic yellow colour scheme - none of those muted or drab colours for me, no siree! My plan is to paint one of each of the old sculpts (and some complimentary sculps like the Tanith Female Sniper and Last Chancers Warrior Woman) first and then start converting other weapon choices. The gals will of course all be named (some of the names are completely random, others have different inspirations). I just finished the latest addition a few days ago:

Rebecca, Ganger

And here's the rest of the gang. I apologise for the black bars on the pics, I was having some trouble transfering the pics from my phone. I may go back and revise them at a later date, but for now I feel they are sufficient.
Leader Suzy and Champions Helga and Rosa

Gangers Kasumi, Anja and Irina

Gangers Sophie, Lizzie and Eri

Juves April, May and June (would you believe me if I told you they were triplets?) and Fio

Lastly, Lizzie's backside. Ten points to you if you guess where the name comes from.
I told you I was subtle, didn't I!

Now, if I could only find the mini I bought to use as a Rogue Doc for the gang. She seems to have vanished into thin air.
