The Fourth Horseman

 
Time to bring out the big guns. 

My painting queue is still on the short side. Having scoured the bits box for any last traces of horse (so I could complete the gang of Necromunda horse bikers), I came up empty. That meant getting weird, which is probably to the best. 

First, though, I came across the body of a WW2 Afrikakorps gunner. He got a head swap, not that it really makes a lot of difference to his overall vibe. You don't see sniper models on long bases from GW these days, although they used to have them for the guard. I liked this guy's MG34 enough that I didn't swap it for anything more grimdark, although I did give him a pink blanket to punk him up a little. 

I know I put his MG together wrong, the bipod should be hanging off the very end of the barrel. He was already too long for the base, though, even with his feet hanging off!

Back to the horseman - there were two discarded halves of tank track bits from some towing tractor thing, and when I noticed I could match them up to make a whole track, some spark ignited. 

His gun is not in his pocket and nor is he pleased to see you. 

This monotrack is the result, cobbled together from (amongst other bits) the track pieces, the body of a Delaque Cephalopod, some RBT01 Space Marine legs, half a Greater Possessed, some lengths of sprue, the cannon from a Taurox and four lengths of gardening wire. 

The arms are more Delaque spares, stuck on so he looks like he's praising dark gods or blessing his gun or something. Except he's got a big tube in his gob, which I think is because basically the gun is a massive peashooter. He just huffs the shells at you, hard as he can (about two feet). In so far as it's possible to get him to fit in with the other three, the paint does a reasonable job. 

I think they're the Horsemen of the Midlife Crisis - left to right, there's The Compensator, Manosphere, Sir Tourette and the Bullet Crank. There is almost certainly a game of Necromunda with their name on it somewhere, once I've figured out what subset of rules might cover them. 

Onwards - I've got some models in the mail for next week!
