Ha – I thought the Necromunda gang was finished but…I’ve been thinking about how having the same wargear is going to make it hard to keep up with the bookmaking and model identification in game.
So I’ve gone with a very simple trick; different colours on the bases for my Leader (gold)
Champions (silver)
And Gangers (bronze). Oh and I painted the three power swords in the gang too.
Now, there’s more to the model identification than that – how do I keep up with who is who among my identically kitted gangers?
Easy; by marking the vision arc in black on the base and painting their gang number (I’d like it to have been a name but I’m not creative enough and these will just be used for pick up games) on the black background.
I’m pretty pleased with the idea, should speed my games up (esp. the vision arc marker).
I’ve also written out fighter cards for all the gang. This was boring but, actually, a great way to really grind in the stats and wargear traits for my gang (I can quote the las pistol / las gun stats in my sleep!).
Right. These really are finished now. I’ve started talking about 40K (here) already so these need to come off of the painting bench now. I’ll keep you updated.
Any comments, let me know!
