Escher Gang: Steel City Harlots

PICTURE TK

I knew when I was first thinking of starting Necromunda, that Eschers would be my faction. And it was a chance to break out of the blues and grays and whites of the Ultramarines and use some really vibrant colors. I had this vision of pink and purple, inspired a bit by the synthwave trend, but not too heavily influenced by it.

I ended up using inks to try to get a more vibrant color, but in the end I went back in with some airbrush pink on top of it all anyhow, which gave me a brighter, but slightly softer pink. I sort of regret not making the plasma weapon glow something like blue or even green to stand out more, but I’ve been so in the habit of making plasma red and orange, I just didn’t even consider it at the time.

I’ve played a few games of Necromunda and have enjoyed it, but I found the ruleset too heavy and that took some of the enjoyment out of it. I hear good things about how streamlined N26 is, so I’ll have to go back and try it again soon!

Queen

Where most Escher queens rule through fear, Vix ‘Songbird’ Verones leads through belonging. She remembers every sister of the Steel City Harlots — their name, their story, every scar, every dream — but rival gangs mistake that compassion for softness at their own peril — entire crews have vanished after threatening women under her protection.

Matriarch

An honored Matriarch of the Steel City Harlots, Kira ‘Dollface’ Seromi learned early that men in the Underhive mistake beauty for weakness and that their overconfidence could be used as a weapon. She cultivated vibe that earned her the nickname ‘Dollface’ deliberately — painted lips, perfect posture, dead-eyed calm. The last thing most of her enemies see is her smiling at them charmingly at them and the smell of their plasma-burnt flesh.
