Ballad of the Street Cats Gang Fighters

The Ballad of the Street Cats Gang Fighters are seven core members of the gang, the backbone of any underhive crew worth running. Where the snipers hang back and the heavy gunners anchor the line, these fighters are the ones pushing through doorways, cutting across open ground, and getting the job done at close quarters. Each figure carries that same streetwise energy that runs through the whole range, loose and dangerous, armed with autoguns, pistols, and the kind of body language that says they have done this before and came out the other side.

Supplied unpainted.

Seven distinct poses cover the full range of a firefight in motion. One stands wide and levels a chunky autogun straight forward, coat whipping behind her. Another drops into a crouched two-handed aim, compact and controlled. A third goes full aggressive, weapon up and coat fanning out. A figure with wild flowing hair draws a pistol one-handed with the easy confidence of someone who shoots first. Another raises a spiked weapon overhead in a rallying cry that would look at home leading a charge. The remaining two hold fighting stances that fill out the squad with the kind of varied silhouettes that make a gang look lived-in on the tabletop.

These figures stand at approximately 28 to 32mm scale, sculpted by 42studio as part of their ongoing Ballad of the Street Cats range. Each miniature arrives as a physical resin piece with supports already removed, cleaned up and ready to assemble and paint.

Seven figures are included in this set.

These fighters suit a worn, street-level palette, think faded leathers, scuffed armour plating, and weapons that have seen real use. Heavy contrast between deep shadows and bright highlights will reward the amount of detail packed into each pose.

1. Prime

• Prime black for deep shadows and a gritty underhive feel, or grey if you prefer a brighter midtone to work up from.

2. Armour Base

• Basecoat armour plates in a dark grey or worn brown leather tone depending on your preferred gang colours.
• Apply a strong all-over wash in dark brown or black to settle into the recesses across belts, knee pads, and straps.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out skull motifs, belt buckles, and stud details in a bone or aged brass tone.
• Drybrush raised edges of armour and coat folds lightly with a lighter grey or cream to pull out the sculpted detail.

4. Weapons

• Basecoat firearms in dark gunmetal or black, then drybrush with a bright silver to suggest worn metal.
• Add a spot of rust or brown wash at joins and around grips for a used, field-worn look.

5. Weathering

• Stipple thin patches of brown and orange on armour edges and boot toes to suggest long hours in the underhive.
• Streak diluted dark brown wash downward from joints and vents to suggest grime and wear.

6. Bases

• Paint the cast bases in dark concrete tones with a drybrush of light grey, then pick out any panel or grate detail in a contrasting metal to tie the squad together on the tabletop.
