I've got my Delaqe - and with the excess of plastic kits out there, mainly from the Guard players, I'm sure there are tonnes of extra bits for new Necromunda players.

If I can get Mike to order some of the Infinity minis, I can run my Metal Gear Solid gang. (Van Saar)

It's just not the same scale, which really matters for Necromunda, due to the old LOS rules. It's the only beef I have with non-GW mins in certain specialist games.

I have a delaque gang from back in the day too. Also an eclectic assortment of figs that represent and inquisitorial warband that I would love to proxie as a gang.
Also, having mentioned it - Has anyone ever tried Infinity, I have a bunch of Combined army figs (unassembled...) that I wanted to try out a year or so back and never did. Looks complex but pretty interesting. Also uses a ton of terrain.

Not to run off topic, but from what I know about Infinity, is that it plays like a d20 version of Warzone (also an ancient tabletop game). Pretty much one TN to hit + kill something after the modifiers.

yah totally derailing this...
Loved warzone, still have my Imperial army, actually and a half finished capital light infantry/ranger company also.
I am pretty sure it is d20 but there is a lot of out of sequence actions and reactions that occur and everything can make attacks during its movements (like running and shooting while you are still in the alley between buildings etc.)
You get an order pool based on the number of models/ activations you have, but you can use them how you want in your turn ie. 10 guys each move once, or one awesome guy gets to to move 10 times for example. Obviously extremes but anything is possible within the amount of orders you have with a few caveats.
NECROMUNDA THOUGH... sweet game and actually wysiwyg for the most part. I enjoy customising things - one aspect I really miss from games like warmachine etc.

I was wondering they dont actually have to be human right, like instead of me buying some imperial guard minis i can take my saurus warriors from my lizard men and put them on the rounds bases ( i have a few extra) and put the weapons on them, i was going to use older saurus warriors as juves cause they dont look as good, and the recent plastic ones are gangers, a temple guard as the heavy and a metal scar vet as my leader

You're more than welcome to do whatever you want as far as mins go, but just remember that LOS is important in Necromunda. The bigger the min, the more available to shoot...

thats true i will have to think about that cause the old saurus are a about the right size and have no tail but the new one are a little bigger and have a long tail hanging out. Probably still do it cause i think it would be cool to have lizard men running around shooting and stabing people and i could call the gang the Gorn gang lol

I'm using Dark Eldar Wyches for my Van saar gang. So really it's all in how you want your gang to look.

i might try to use skinks as juves but might have to boost the hight a little

I'd probably just use my Eldar as spyrers or something similar.
As for Infinity, I've always found it looked very interesting, and I love some of the figs, but I couldn't bring myself to buy models for a system that no one was playing.
