Tech Savvy - Marauder Tech Gangers

I'm steadily chipping away at my Confrontation collection - latest to be done are the pair of Marauder tech gangers that I should have painted at the same time as the other two, but didn't!


The Marauder figures are typically more chunky with more exaggerated features compared to Citadel equivalents, which makes them really fun to paint.

The first of the two newly painted figures is armed with a hand flamer. He also has an apron - a feature he shares with several of the Roy Eastland tech gangers.



The fourth and final Marauder tech has a funky power fist / servo arm and a half-bionic head.



All four are really fun sculpts. I like the fact that they feel more exotic than the more no-nonsense feel you get from the techs by the other sculptors - perfect for specialists or characters. Nice to have got this set completed!

The full set of four Marauder tech gangers.

    Not familiar with these sculpts, and that's a loss on my part I feel. Good additions to the collection though.

      Cheers Dai! I don't think they were widely released unfortunately. You can check out the full (small) Marauder Confrontation range on Stuff of Legends: http://www.solegends.com/citconfrontation/index.htm#Iconmarpsychers

      I remember quite a few of the confrontation figs but, like Dai, not these ones.

    They are really charming, I'm discovering quite a bunch of good minis with this project!

      Aly Morrison definitely knows how to sculpt with character! Thanks Suber 🙂

    Awesome stuff!

    The Nexus Cyclo miniatures from the old Kryomek game were sculpted by Roy too and you may find some conversion fodder from the range as the bionic CYCLO unit that is fitted to their heads to control them gives them a wee bit of a techy vibe too.

      These are great, I've not seen the Marauder Tech gang before. I've still got some Cyclos as I liked the sculpts, they're still available from here I think: https://www.shop.scotiagrendel.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=217_218_3_112_116

      I just picked up another batch of Kryomek minis. Not the CYCLO units but I did get some cyborgs that are really interesting.

      Cool stuff! Great to know. There's a chunk of the Kryomek range also available through MSD Games in the US.

    I love how you keep filling out these gangs years after you first created them. Even if they aren't mine, I still enjoy seeing collections become more complete.

      Thanks Hobbs! It's great to hear you enjoy it. I'm not sure any project is ever finished and it's fun filling in gaps where I can.
