Necromunda 3.0: It's a Proxy Party! - Part 3: Get into the Juve...

It seems like one of the things that a lot of gamers have been left asking for in the release of the new edition of Necromunda is models that are suitable for representing Juves, the callow up-and-commers that tag along with the average Underhive gang in the hope of surviving the fight and gaining enough experience along the way to eventually blossom into full-grown gangers.

I expect that this is something GW will get onto in their own good time, but there are still people out there looking for an answer in the short term, so I've been scouting around for a solution - and I have to say, there really isn't one that's going to satisfy everyone!

The obvious answer would seem to be the Juve miniatures from the original release of the game, but the evident scale creep that can be seen in the new sculpts, scarcity and price, as well as the need to customise the weapons on a range of models that were all metal, could be a real issue when taking that option.

Unlike full gangers, the non-GW manufacturers out there are not replete with sci-fi or dystopian near-future miniatures of the youth, but there are some that could be used at a push.

Necromunda 3.0: It's a Proxy Party! - Part 2: Non-GW Alternatives

Last time I spent some column inches looking at the various hacks and customisation jobs that creative gamers had come up with to either make their Necromunda experience their own, or else avoid shelling out more than they had to in buying official GW products.

But of course there's always the option of choosing to use miniatures and/or terrain manufactured by another company, which has the advantage of being quicker and leaving you with more time to work on assembling, painting and actually PLAYING the game as well!

This option also has one over on scouring Ebay for what you want, as it's all there to be ordered, and most companies are sensible with their prices (unlike many Ebay sellers) - but be warned, buying new stuff, while expedient, is not always the cheapest option, and in some cases, may actually turn out to be more expensive than GW, so think about whether you're willing to shell out more for that unique look to your gang or underhive terrain.
