Finally I’ve completed my Necromunda gang, it’s only 9 minatures but bloody hell, they took forever! It’s a Van Saar gang, I liked their “Fremen” like suits and the techno skills they have. I’ve ended up with quite a bright colour scheme but what the hell, I’m rather pleased with the industrial black and yellow striping on the weapons, it’s a little thing but ties the gang together. I spent far, far too long on these, I suppose I could have painted them to a lower standard but as usual couldn’t I bring myself to. All I need to do now is to find some time to play a game with them…
