The Warboys are the army of a local Warlord. The Warboys warband. The figures are mainly old OOP GW Gorkamorka Diggas. They fit right in don't they? The Warboys. In this lot there are a few duplicates. I have added some scarves and goggles. One guy at the back has had his hand replaced with a Mantic Orx hand. The weapon has a brutal post apocalyptic look to it. The mob are equipped with shotguns or large caliber black powder revolvers. A couple of Warboys gang leaders slightly better armed than the rest of the mob. The idea is to split the mob into two gangs when needed. Warboy Shaman preaching the Warlord's litany of the promise of Valhalla and rebirth shiny and chrome. Warboy Mob leader. This guy has a long range black powder musket. Nux - the Warboys hero. This guy wears the clothes of a fierce road warrior he took down. He is armed with a pump action shotgun and big knife. The keen eyed among you will notice that this isn't a GW Gorkamorka figure. It is a GW Necromunda Delaque. Edited by mattblackgod, Oct 6 2017, 10:16 PM.

This started life as a cheap pound store car. The blower engine was found in a hotwheels car - which tend to be redicously large. Its cheaper to do this than buying a resin engine. The pound store car was stripped down and I wanted to add BIG wheels to the rear which I got from a Tonka Monster Truck car. A new base was made from balsa wood. It is easy to shape to the body. This allowed me to lower the front wheels to stop the car's front end from scraping along the ground. The car bonnet had a hole cut to take the engine. The front wheels where found in the bits box. They are Ramshackle Nuclear Renaissance bits. Bits of amour and braces where added from cereal packet cardboard. It needed a cupola. This was a M16 plastic backnut. A flame thrower was scratch built from bits of plastic tubing and junk from the bits box. The exhausts are also plastic tubing. They had to be extreme too. I added some repair patches from green stuff putty. A bits box delve provided some bits to decorate it. One thing missing was the explosive lances the Warboys use. I scratch built them from bits of plastic tubing. A card circle makes up the detonation cap. These are not fixed so they can be removed for storage. I tried to keep the paint work similar to the Warboys Interceptor from Fury Road. Warbuggy. I have had a mad puppets resin Orc buggy laying about for ages. Time to get it painted. This is pretty much how it was supplied. The kit has lots of odds and ends to post apoc it up. I added tubes to take the explosive lances and added a fuel hose in putty. The weapons on this are spring loaded bolt launchers. They are ideal for damaging tyres and people alike. The downside is that they are slow to reload and are short ranged. Dicey Car. Many years ago I stumbled upon some 1:50 scale hotwheels cars. I converted this car. It was fitted with massive autocannons. They are not what I envisioned for post apoc. The autocannons are far too powerful. Digging about in the bits box I found some 40K Ork Rockets. So it was time to rearm. The rockets are black powder powered with an explosive fit and there is only two. Once they are gone they are gone. The rockets are unpredictable and highly inaccurate. There is a good chance that they will miss. Edited by mattblackgod, Oct 6 2017, 10:18 PM.

Big boss warlord dude! Posts: 15,699 Group: Admins Member #1 Joined: Jul 22, 2008	The Warboys have some new additions to their Warband. Rictus is the third son of the Warlord Immortan Joe. He usually leads the Warbands into the Wastelands. Rictus is an old OOP Necromunda Goliath miniature by GW that I was given painted a while back. I touched the paint up and he is ready for the table. Furiosa came to the Citadel as a prisoner who worked her freedom and proved herself as competent warrior. Furiosa worked her way up the ranks in Immortan Joe's army and is allowed to run a war band and war rig across the wastelands. Furiosa is a Ms Lovely Day by Crooked Dice. Scab is the newest member of the Warboys. He has been trusted with a machine pistol from the bullet farm. They better hope that Scab's finger doesn't slip. Scab is an old OOP Necromunda Goliath juve miniature by GW (as if you needed telling who made it) that I was given painted a while back. I touched the paint up to make him look like a Warboy. Just for a bit of fun...a War 'Tom' Boy! The War 'Tom' Boy is a girl who has joined the Warboys. She has proven herself to be as tough as the boys. 'Tom' is an old OOP Necromunda Esher juve miniature by GW that I had laying about. A group shot of the new additions to the warband. Edited by mattblackgod, Oct 6 2017, 10:19 PM.
