Goths and Rockers

I was going to split this review into two posts but I have so much I want to show you this month that I decided to give you two reviews for the price of one. Besides which, they are complimentary. I recently finished painting a bunch of contemporary figures, including these two gangs of Goths and Rockers.
This group of Goth gangers were produced by Slow Death Games, a relatively new company who made these and a few other gangs for their skirmish game, Wild in the Streets. These figures consist of a set of six 35mm scale figures - five females and one male, called Dave, who is the gang leader. I have not named the female Goth gangers yet but I will.
The figure at the far right is called Claudia and she is the leader of the Murder Cult Girls. She looks so much like a Goth that I decided to make her part of Dave's gang. When I bought these figures they were on sale and you could buy the leaders separately. Now, however, you have to buy the gangs as a group, usually consisting of four figures. The Goth gang is the largest available to date with six figures. They cost $35.00 for all six. The other gangs cost $25.00 each. I realise that some people will bemoan the fact that they are 35mm scale (scale creep strikes again!) but as I keep on saying, this is not something that ever bothers me. I actually like having figures of varying heights, as it reflects real life more accurately. The Goths are not well armed - they have one baseball bat and one knife between the seven.
Next up are the leather-clad Rockers, who also favour black clothing. At the far left is the gang leader, currently unnamed, and armed with a machine pistol. This figure was produced by Spectre Miniatures as Criminal Element Commander Alfa. He costs £2.99 but I got this figure as a present from fellow Blogger, Clint, when he saw it a wargaming convention. I am very grateful to Clint for his generosity. The figure fits in so well with the rest of the gang that I just had to make him the gang leader.
The other five figures are produced by Wargames Foundry as part of their Casting Room Miniatures Street Fighters range - SV510 Leather Gals and Boys. As with the Goths, they are short on weapons, with just a baseball bat, a short length of chain and Big Ass Pistol - a .50 calibre Desert Eagle, which the pale-looking woman is trying to hide behind her back. This set of five figures costs £12.00.
Both gangs are very usable in a lot of contemporary or near future games.
