Far Corfe: Confrontation Elite Gang

The Elite Gang fan out to protect their employer's assets...

I don't know about anyone else, but ever since I saw the page of them that survived into the Citadel blue catalogue in the early 90s, the miniatures from the Confrontation range (the predecessor of what we now know as Necromunda) always manage to make my palms sweat.


Unfortunately they're not a cheap thing to try and collect, so I tend to find that I can only get my hands on them sporadically and in small numbers when the chance to grab a bargain presents itself on eBay or a similar platform.

It was only when I managed to land one of the Marauder Elite Gangers that I was struck by the way that his studded doublet and headscarf reminded me of the WHFB Empire Militia minis, and from there, the wheels began to turn...

Elite Ganger, Brat, Bounty Hunter & Elite Ganger #2

I was lucky enough to land a couple of similar minis along the way to making a gang out of them, including a Brat and Bounty Hunter, both of which were dressed in a way that was similar enough to have them fit in with the Elite Gangers quite easily.

Raiding my bits box, I was able to find enough Empire Militia and other parts to cobble together a couple of specialists and some pseudo-elites that would serve to make up the numbers and flesh out the ranks of the gang.

All in all, I think that the whole thing worked out quite well and the kit-bashed members of the gang blend pretty well with the actual minis from the old Confrontation range. I have no idea what they'd class as in the modern version of Necromunda, but then I've never been one to let the rules constrain me when it comes to making something that's more for the sake of being creative than a slave to the rules.

Well, what do you think?

Passable solution to wanting a Confrontation-era gang?

Or Frankenstien's Gangers?

Let me know, either on here or via social media.
