Ulanti Reinforcements - More Elite Gangers

In spite of not having enjoyed painting the previous batch of Elite gangers, I decided that I needed a bigger gang. So I took some of the duplicate ganger bodies and did some head swaps / repositioning to give me some more variety.

In Necromunda terms, the trio above will represent a champion with a plasma gun (centre) and two juves or gangers. In Stargrave they might be a chiseller, burner and hacker. Either way, they give me more options than the first set of gangers with autoguns.

The ganger on the left has a pair of Stargrave arms, trimmed at the shoulders to make them a bit slimmer. His head is from a Necromunda Orlock leader (I used the torso for my Venator Leader) with the headband changed into a bandana,

The plasma gunner got a head from a 40k preacher. I had to sculpt the back of his neckerchief and also added a new hairstyle and one of those decorative panels at his waist. The arms are from a modern Necromunda Delaque kit.

The ganger on the right has had some repositioning of his legs (although in retrospect I don't think the outcome was worth the effort). He also got a new head (the one removed from the plasma gunner) and some Stargrave arms.

The new gangers got the same gang colours as the previous bunch. I had a bit of a nightmare painting the plasma gun though! I originally painted it metallics, then decided I wanted a plasma glow. So did it in my tried and tested blue, which didn't work with the rest of the scheme. So I did it orange and messed it up, did it orange again and didn't like it. So I painted it boring metallics again. I might got back and revisit that, but I probably won't!

In case you're interested, here are some side by side comparisons of the new converted models versus the unmodified original sculpts:

I've still got a couple more Elite gangers to paint up - am hoping to tackle them next!
