After a suggestion from Ross we have decided to set up this thread - its a show us your Post Apoc factions and gangs. This is a sticky thread. The rules are as follows: 1. Write some blurb about the gang/faction fluff, origin/conversion of the minis and what inspired this faction. 2. No more than 1 post reply per gang/faction. 3. A picture of the faction should be included. 4. No more than 3 pictures of the gang/faction to be included in the post. 5. If you change the gang/faction and want to update the thread then edit your original post and change text/pics as desired. Have fun and I look forward to seeing your gangs and factions! |

Okay - I will chip in the first one. This is the Pictsie Clan. These guys are fearsome tribals from the northern wastelands and forests. They love to fight, drink and steal. The pictises are known by thier tartan clothes, orange hair and blue war paint & tatoos. They fear nothing and are extratough (no psychology tests for these guys). One wierd thing about the tribe is they already think they are dead and this is some sort of Vahalla - hence the drinking and fighting. The Pictises are a pain for the cities to the south. Bittannia Bunker City is at constant war with them and Squeena city has a shoot on sight policy.  The minis are a mix. In the main they are EM4/old grenadier future warriors. The faction is inspired by the Disc Worlds Nac Mac Feegles - another of Terry Pratchett's creations! |

Prester John's holy Crusade: After the collapse of civilisation, various groups set themselves up with rather black and white worldviews, as a security against the chaos around them. One such group gathered around Prester John, They have churches set up in some settlements and wander the wastes between converting the masses. This can be anything from true conversion for the charismatic preaching of Prester John, through to forced baptism (by waking over fire), through to abucting children to be taken back to the Temples of Faith for instruction and bringing up in The Way of the Righteous. They will ally themselves with anyone willing to pay a donation as long as they will follow the cause.  Here we have Michael (a wandering adventurer), along with Bob the Baptiser and last but not least Prester John.  And here are a few brethren forming a bodyguard for Prester John on one of his missions; for some strange reason People don't always respond well to his missions. The models are all Citadel, with Michael being heavily converted, and Prester John is an old Chaos Sorcerer, the others are Bretonian Battle Pilgrims |

The Warriors of the Crooked Cross (or the Skins): The Warriors of the crooked corss are a bunch of Neo Nazi skinheads. It is not known where they got their ideas - they cant have found a copy of Mien Kampf as they cant read. The skins are pretty much into beating anyone who dont fit their Aryan ideals and following the philosophy of hate suits them fine. Mutants have a harder time when the Skins roll into town. The gang are nomadic - spreading the hate and cleansing the world of sub humans. It has been noticed that thier ideals are very similar to that of Aryanreich - the mysterious bunker city where only elite troops go beyond its walls. Some claim that the gang is funded and might have even been brainwashed into following the Nazi code.  This gang was created as a set of universal bad guys who hate pretty much everyone. They may on occasion support Aryanreich units (who follow a similar code of hate). The minis are in the main EM4/Grenadier Savages with the mohaeks and fur shaved off. There is a Hasslefree Grant and a Prince August Future Shock ganger minus the mohawk. I also added a sword when the baseball bat snapped off. |

 New Gomorrah's War-Hound Legion (The 2nd Elite Legion) The 2nd Elite Legion of Gomorrah, also known as Wardogs/hounds, or 'Das Krieghunds', form the bulk of Gomorrah's military power. Most of Gomorrah's populace consists of 'liberated' slaves, who are given the option to live a civilian life, or serve in a military/police position. Numbering in the tens of thousands, this small squad is very uncharacteristic: They have M-27 Assault Rifles with an underslung 40mm grenade launcher, whereas most troopers are equipped with M3A1 Grease Guns, or other easily-maintained sub-machineguns. This odd weapon configuration gives these lucky troops the ability to act as a mobile, short-range mortar teams, while giving them solid short to mid-range fire from their rifles. 40mm 'Beehive' shrapnel canisters are often loaded into the grenade launcher, turning it into a fearsome close-combat weapon. In regards to armor, very little is 'regulation'. Scavenged metal plates are used to roughly craft a suit covering most vital areas, with armored paint-respirators and other easily scavenged filtration devices used as gasmasks. The one unifying feature shared between all of the 2nd legion are the dark, roughly made gray fatigues they all wear over their body armor. As a military force in the North American Wasteland, they are top-notch in regards to training, morale, and equipment. They are seen as expendable troops by the heads of Gomorrah, however, being outranked by the 1st Elite Guard Legion. There is a fierce jealousy of the 1st: they have the best equipment, armaments, training, and the favor of both Misha Demchenko (The High Kommandant), and Karl Reutger Jormund (The Founder of Gomorrah). Despite their expendable nature, and lack of favor from their leaders, they are a high-morale force, greatly loved by the populace, with a very high success rate. (More so than the 1st, whose predatory stance, cold, calculating nature, and general wolf-like qualities unnerve the citizenry.) These dudes are Mutant Chronicles: Warzone plastic Imperial Army Trencher Regulars.
