In a callback to my old metal gang from back in the day, the new version got a blue-and-yellow paint scheme which always pops nicely. I tried to ensure that each of the repeat poses got a mirror image color scheme (one got yellow pants and blue shirt and the other got blue pants and yellow shirt, for example).

The gang leader and champion are both just dripping with character, I love all the candles and scavenged equipment!

The idea that the members of House Cawdor saw soem art of the Adeptus Custodes and atempted to build guardian spears to emulate the guardians of the Emperor is really a nice touch, and I had to add four guys swinging around these unwieldy monstrosities!

On the other end of the scale I like having a few gunfighters in my gangs so several guys got a pair of pistols, a pistol and axe combo, and one brother with a scavenged autogun and a molotov cocktail, because you can't go wrong setting the unbelievers on fire, now can you?

Rooting around in the Closet of Doom I uncovered a pair of old metal Juves (still bummed that GW hasn't done any bespoke Juve models in the new sets), and was pleased to see they fit right in to the new aesthetic. Hoping the get them running through the underhive this coming weekend!

Great scheme, they look like Empire Militia from WFB, and good find on the rooting around the closet of doom, old school Juves, marvelous
ReplyDeleteIndeed - They have a definite techno-medieval vibe going on! Cheers!
DeleteThey look great, and I just love the crossbow-PRG model!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Totally, it's so over the top it's glorious! :)
DeleteNice work on these, and I love how the old Juves seem to fit in... actually they probably fit better than the gangers both due to scale and the fact that they have partial masks. Bit of green stuff for a nose beak and they would be even closer.
ReplyDeleteCheers! Good idea, I hadn't thought of that with the GS nose-piece upgrade!
DeleteVery well painted.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, man!
DeleteThey look so good! I wasn’t sure how the new sculpts would look when painted bright and vibrant rather than drab and dirty, but yours really look great!
ReplyDeleteCheers! Aye, they definitely lend themselves to the drab and dirty scheme. I might go back in and add more mud and gunk to them in the future...
DeleteGeart stuff.
ReplyDeleteI see some real potential there for a Cowdor / hybrid kit bash
For sure! The Cawdor models do have occasional armour plates that match up with the miner armour on the genestealer cult models. They'd mash together nicely!
DeleteMan, you did these up a treat! Those Juves look like they are from the same plastic set too.
ReplyDeleteThanks bud! Aye, was well pleased with how well the old juves fit in!
