Like most of these ancient Games Workshop figures I have had them unpainted in boxes for years and am now trying to get them finished before I am!
House Van Saar is known for its technology. The master artisans of Van Saar create the most deadly, and most expensive weapons and tech manufactured on Necromunda. For that reason they are the wealthiest of all the Great Houses, but they carry a dark secret: The STC technology they use to create their technological wonders is flawed, and is slowly poisoning them all with radiation. By the time a Van Saar becomes an adult, they have been exposed to far more radiation than anyone else on Necromunda, and must spend their days in specially-made suits designed to keep them alive.
What that means on the tabletop is that Van Saar gangs are really good at the shooty, but not so much at the punchy.

Tim Gow reckons that “Whoever dies with the most toys wins”. By that reckoning, Peter Schulman is going to take some beating. 🙂

I thought it was a saying of Malcolm Forbes?
Despite what most people think it is not about greed and avarice but about having fun while you can still enjoy it. Must have more fun and collect some new shiny things!
Fantastic- one of my favourite gangs from the game.
Lovely work.
Cheers,
Pete.
The never really appealed to me which is why they never were painted years ago. My favourite was always the Delaque.
Nicely done, Dave! As someone with a limited knowledge of the 40K universe I find your potted histories really useful! 🙂
Thanks Dave. I can remember this s@#t but the important stuff. Hey this is the important stuff!
Great work Dave, on what was one of the best looking gangs at the time, I went Spyrers as I only needed to paint 5 models ! LOL
Just wait…..there is more gangers coming!
Very nicely done Dave, I always thought they had a bit of a DUNE look to them.
Cheers Roger
Just watched the movie tonight it is quite good. Don’t fancy drinking my own sweat though!
Lovely stuff! Probably my least favourite gang back in the day but now I really like them, shows how our tastes change over time (or maybe I was just wrong before!).Â
NO. You have just become more sophisticated!
