Paint Splatter: Orlock Ganger

February 2018·pp. 132–133

THE SHORT VERSION

Neat base colours and controlled washes provide a usable first finish for the practical-looking Orlock fighter, with later stages deliberately optional. Broader cloth and leather highlights suggest soft materials, while crisp metallic and weapon edges appear harder; keeping the shades separate and letting each dry prevents muddy transitions.

More Gang War!

Gang War 2 adds House Orlock, hired fighters and the support characters who keep a gang operating between battles. The adjoining Badzone Delta-7 preview describes double-sided tiles with hazards such as turbines, alien nests and cult chambers, extending the underground game through terrain that can be dangerous in its own right.

Enter House Orlock

The plastic Orlock gang is presented as rugged, dependable fighters favouring sturdy guns and massed fire. Modular heads, weapons and equipment provide variety within the ten-model set, while cards and dice support the release without replacing the separate gang list in the new supplement.

House Orlock: The Iron Brotherhood

The House of Iron draws its wealth from mines, factories and transport monopolies, but gang membership offers an escape from its workers’ brutal servitude. The background contrasts the appearance of collective unity with the house’s violent history, explaining the code that places gang and house loyalty above outsiders.
