Necromunda Alternative Necromunda Miniature Sources (image heavy)

OK
Is there some way to decide if a model is going for the hero scale or true scale?
Warlord Indian models have teeny, tiny hands/heads, which just look wrong next to the more heroic models.

Hey!! I got that Croc for Christmas too!!Imitation of Life models bought after Thanksgiving. Ratling civilians, mutants, ratskin and the croc model.
Not assembled yet though.
I was talking about them in this very thread not so long back - which I think is how I ended up with one for Christmas!!
Necromunda - Alternative Necromunda Miniature Sources (image heavy)
The best source for mixed 40k weapons is probably long-term 40k players...If you have a local club you could ask some old hands if they have any spares? If they say no they're lying :LOL:
yaktribe.games
Three body options on the croc and two weapons on the handler.
In more relevant to the thread news:
Anyone seen or brought any Hammerline models??
They seem to have quite the range of 40k compatible things but also some cool stuff that might work for Necromunda too - such as this Lamborghini tank in the Ash Wastes:
1x Lambo Tank - Across the Realms
This kit includes everything pictured in the first image. Printed in 32mm scale. Miniature design by Across the Realms. Produced by HammerLine Miniatures. All Hammerline Miniatures products are 3D printed using high-quality resin and are washed, cured and have the majority of supports removed...

I’m thinking of treating my Escher… the ones I haven’t painted yet.
It’d be my apologies to the miniature gods for not getting round to them… yet.
While googling I found what I assume to be an American recaster, offering a few (no longer distributed) forge world models
Does anybody have experience with the quality off recasted models and does anybody know any recasters in Europe?

Depends on your recaster- I've known a few that you'll probably get 50-70% useful sculpts out of an order and the rest will be so badly cast that they'll just be terrain/conversion fodder. Then there are others that take the FW sculpts and re-work them so that they are nice and clean, looking better than originals. It really depends. Generally, the lower the price the worse the quality, but it is always dependent on the caster themselves.
I'd be very surprised if it is actually a recaster from the US- they would be in violation of IP laws and probably shut down fairly quickly. Most likely it's a reseller who is buying from China/Russia/wherever and then turning around to resell the models. That's also fairly risky, as it violates federal law about importing counterfeit items for sale. Interestingly, you can legally import counterfeit items if it is for personal use, you just can't do it if you are planning on distributing them. The fun stuff you can learn...
I don't personally know of any EU recasters. I'm not sure about the EU's IP/counterfeit item laws, but I'd be surprised if they were any less stringent than the US's. Most recasters are from lax-IP enforcement countries like China and Russia- and with Russia still in it's Ukrainian war I don't know how that would effect their supply/distribution. Last time I bought something from Russia in general it took about six months to arrive and that was before the war.

I've sent you the link,
Here in Europe there are similar (if not even harsher) IP laws.
There where Russian and Ukrainian firms who recasted or er... played fast & loose with the IP laws before the war (Artel),
And who were not part of Europe's IP 'umbrella', make prosecuting expensive.
I've been following the (non-hobby) side of the Ukrainian war and all that it entails.
There is a booming sale passing through third countries like Kyrgistan, Georgia,... . Recently that list became smaller due to Biden sanctioning harsher at the end of his mandate. On account of more people being involved I assume the prizes are higher for their supplies and 3D plastics are also needed for drone construction.
So in theory they should still be able to sell recasts, but at a higher cost.
PS: There's even an Ukrainian 'Khorne' drone/artillery battalion,
and a few other references:

does the site name start with dark?
I'm a bit queasy when it comes to buying anything Russian atm...
I photographed refugee camps in Lebanon at the time off those gas attacks back then and it left a bad taste.
I'm sure there are plenty good people on both sides etc... but right now I prefer buying local (or Indian, or American, ...)

No, Black, I know the one you're talking about but never used it. And I agree, making purchases with consideration to moral/ethical beliefs is important.
This one seems closer to the original art for the Khymerix.

Both the Russians and Ukrainians are being heavily influenced by the 40K universe. Lots of icons and symbols and unit names, and I've seen where they're wearing Purity Seals inscribed with Christian prayers.
some are on both sides, ...
but i don't think the majority off the soldiers on the Russian side have any 40k budget.
I've seen praying icons and anti-drone prayers (orthodox) and purity seals (40k) on the Russian side
On the Ukrainian side I've seen Chaos, Inquisition and Khorne references (the Khorne drone battalion being the best known)
wargame exclusive also has Ukrainian Imperial Guard models:
I can recommend the 'Ukrainian biologial weapons' and 'revenge of kherson' kit
