Necromunda: House Escher


After seeing some great painting posts of a House Escher gang for Necromunda, I was reminded that I have the boxed set of these girls sitting back in the UK. I also have a bunch of juves that I picked up from a bits-box sale in this country. Those are some cool minis, and they have aged well enough for having been released almost 20 years ago.

I still think the official yellow
scheme works well (GW)
What peaked my interest was that the post on Tale of Painters says there are only 20 miniatures released for House Escher (and similarly for the other gangs). 20 minis! Is that all? Even I can paint 20 minis. Hell, I know for a fact, I have done at least 3 already (a long looooong time ago). That got me off on a search. I was surprised to see that you can still buy the Necromunda minis from the GW site. A further search revealed this to be the full and complete list of minis that were ever released. All other gangs and extras are listed too (I think I have a Jakara Spyrer too).

All fair enough to take a wander down memory lane, but since I have currently 3 projects on the table, I don't think it's time to start another. Still, it's nice to reminisce. Maybe one of the juves in my box will see a lick of paint soon.

  1. Ah, Necromunda... Painting the minis is the easy part. After, you start making scenery. And then....

    1. Oh, I know. Thankfully, there's been a local surge of Infinity players, and that needs even more scenery, so hopefully that's one issue less to worry about!

  2. Hey, I was talking about that game with another local player just last week! Like you, I have too much on my plate right now, but a small league sometime early next year could be cool. :)

    1. Excellent idea! I plan to go back to the old country, and I'm sure I could smuggle my minis back in my case, there's only a couple afterall

  3. It was exactly the same minis on the Tale of Painters blog that put us also back into the game. Nice ;)
