Please sir, can I have some Orlock?

 

More?!?!?!?!?

My wife surprised me (and possibly the history of the known world) by buying me an unexpected box of Orlocks! This is the best kind of surprise box, second perhaps only to your opponent finding a frag bomb in their ammo crate.

I'm always slowly tiptoeing towards what I'd consider a complete Necromunda collection. This was an unexpected shove in the right direction, and immediately jumped to the top of the painting queue. It's the set that gives you the alternative champions and juves, Arms Masters and Wreckers in this case, along with a smashing pair of robo-doggies.

The dogs do look excellent, but they're rather fragile. Only a single blade-like foot holds them to the base. Definitely a worry, even if the pose is magnificently dynamic.

The Wreckers are cool - big Nasa rocket boosters and demo packs. This is their thing on the table, going fast and hard and blowing things up. Obviously this includes themselves, it's Necromunda. 

Ideally, I'd cover that flight stand with a booster trail, but I don't have the kit for it at the moment.

I very slightly tweaked one so she could have a flight stand too (only one can do this with straight box options, even though you get four stems in the kit). Just a very slight snip through her ankle so her feet looked more airborne.

Hand flamers are an expensive but reliable choice for juves (gets round their poor shooting), but they get randomly explody when fired from a jump rig. This makes them an excellent pick.

The Arms Masters are a big butch pair. I particularly love the guy with the full exo-harness and lifting arms. With that Arc Hammer, he costs about half the budget of a starting gang if you arm him as seen - he will absolutely clobber anything he gets the drop on, but you'd have to make sure he takes a good starting skill to help him reach combat. Nerves of Steel, for example, which he can actually hand out to a nearby ganger when he starts his round.

Did not skip arm day.

Not much I did to set mine apart from the standard, except a couple of head swaps for the big chaps. One from Puppetswar and one from an old box of Frostgrave Barbarians. So one is channelling the Sons of Thunder from the old Conan movie, the other is pure Village People. 

"I want that one."

That boosts the gang size to eighteen, including pets. There's a few more to come, as well - I have a campaign in mind for next year...

Random street trash makes for good objective markers, in life as in Necromunda
