About OrlockHouse Orlock is also called House
of Iron because of the numerous ore mine they possess. The House symbol is
an iron glove holding a chain - a sign of resolve and strenght, but also
of the link between gang members relying on each
other. CommentsBuilding an Orlock gang from the Necromunda
boxed set implied a lot of work with plastic and therefore lot of
conversion opportunities. Trying to get the best of the two pose models
and of their swap arms, I designed each Orlock ganger with a distinct
attitude and armament. Several Goliath arms were consumed in the process
to get extra guns, as well as a Dark Eldar jetbike chain bitz laying
around that I opportunely used as a chain weapon. I was pleased with the
output, as you can see with ganger models below.
Other gang members are
just metal miniatures not worked on, except for the paint job. I have some
plastic Orlock remaining and will certainly put them to good use - as
Imperial Guard troopers, Tau auxiliaries or whatever comes to my
mind. In combat Orlock are geared towards gunfights, with plenty of
skills enhancing their abilities with rifles and pistols. A single Orlock
juve with two pistols and the skill to use them both is a very nasty
opponent, able to bring down many gangers while costing only a fraction of
their value. The pictures
