Why So Serious? The Joker Gang Necromunda/ Inquisimunda warband4

The Joker Gang in all it's vainglory. It's only the start but I wanted a group shot at this early stage. 

My dream is to have a 40K gang modelled up after each Batman villain. I've drawn up a list of things that I think would work.

Batman - solo Syprer. Games master design to equal gangs. 
Commissioner Gordon - arbites. Games master design is equal gangs. 

The joker gang - the jester. Cawdor Harley Quinn 
Bane - house Goliath/ pit slave
The riddler gang - Delaque
The penguin - xenos kroot. Human psyker with affinity for birds. 
Mr freeze - mechanicus (freezes subjects for testing) 
Killer croc - mutie
Two face - mutie/ inquisition? 
Poison ivy - inquisition? Rogue trader? Pirate? Psyker to control biology 
Scarecrow - drug dealing pirate? 
Cat woman - hired gun 
Night wing - hired gun
Robin - hired gun   

What you think? Batman and arbites are there to handle gangs who get to far ahead of others.

What would you do differently? Do you plan to create any of these gangs?

Hello and welcome all to a special little personal project of mine. I find that I have to work on some of my own stuff in between commissions to freshen up the palette. I was fortunate to play Necromunda when the boxed set was first released (I even played a campaign weekend in a Games Workshop store - can you imagine doing that today?) Although the gangs each have their appeal I don't feel happy with my collection until I've put my personal stamp on things. the customisation of models along a theme or a story is something that really invigorates me as a hobbyist. 

The Dark Knight is one of my favourite films. The opening scene has to be one of the most effective character introductions in film history. Seeing the Joker as a bat shit crazy anarchist was terrifying for me in a way that lingers long after the film is over. What could be cooler than creating a Joker themed gang for Necromunda? 

The goon masks would allow me to pick and choose models from across the range that I like and fits the equipment list. This goon was my first trail run at making this work. The mask is sculpted on top of his face. I removed the sash thing that hangs between his legs and painted the legs as if they were worn jeans. These models offer a wonderful opportunity to play with different textures. Leather, jean, cloth as well as the broken polluted bases makes this an inspiring project to work on.
