Here are some conversions I whipped up from the dark vengeance cultist miniatures. As soon as I saw these awesome models I knew some would be great necromunda figures. I'm trying to make sure I don't duplicate any figures as necromunda really needs characterful models to ensure they are distinguishable from each other. I plan to leave the chaos symbols on these guys, they will just be a corrupted redemptionist gang. I am currently trying to decide what paint scheme to follow. A dark/flame look is what I'm going for. Something similar to a
model I painted for Dave at minipainting4free. 16 models should be plenty for a necromunda gang.

two deacons with flamers, plus a priest with hand flamer & sword |
These are the most important gang members. I converted the guy with the hooded gas mask to be carrying a flamer (instead of chopping his hands, I just cut off the flamer nozzle and canister and converted his autogun) to be a second Deacon. My priest I just armed with a converted hand flamer (from the rest of the flamer bits that were left from doing the servo-arm backpack conversion for my ravenwing techmarine) and the final one is unconverted with a different model of flamer.

my zealots, you can only use two but I wanted all three options |
The zealots were all really fun to make. The middle guy took quite a bit of conversion but the two on the ends were pretty simple conversions. A simple weapon swap gave me a zealot with two flails, and a hand flamer turned the axe wielding cultist into a zealot with exterminator on double handed weapon. The guy in the middle started out with an autogun, but I trimmed it off his left arm, and replaced the right hand with a hand from some empire figures. I simply trimmed two chainsword blades and glued them together to make a ridiculously large evisterator with another hand flamer as exterminator.

crusaders with basic weapons (a couple with CC weapons too) |
I converted a few of these guys. Far left was a simple shotgun replacement. For the model in the middle I took the shotgun from the priest and replaced the autopistol. Back right I converted quite extensively; first a head swap with another cultist to make them both different, then added a maul and an autogun. Last guy is just a simple head swap.
|
devotees (or crusaders) with CC weapons |
The model on the left had the head swap applied, and switched which hands held which weapons. He got a sword/blade as well - right at that size where it could be a knife or a sword which is always handy for necromunda. Guy in the middle is a simple head swap (he has far right's head, while far right has a head from a swap above. The two guys in the back are unconverted.

Nice! They're a great set of models for Necromunda - doing them up as redemptionists looks awesome!
Oh no, now I REALLY miss Necromunda...
Great idea, btw! And very well done; can't wait to see them painted and burning some Scavvies.
Haha perfect, that's the whole reason I post. I hope it does motivated you, I have some necromunda scenery to post soon too.
Lovely job mate.
Great mini choice too, congrats!
Linking the flesh tearers paint tutorial - plan to follow this for these guys.
