Necromundia

HAHA LOL

thanks for the teaser tim! i hope your happy getting people all reved up for nothing!

Just got this info on Necromunda via George at Zombie Planet:

FYI- This is what GW said about when the US Necromunda release will happen:

"We're discussing that right now actually; we want to fit it into a good month so it doesn't get lost with another major release. We also want to make sure we have a good line (and good stock level) of products to support it too. It won't be soon, but as soon as we have an answer your reps will be letting you all know."

So I guess we should wait awhile.

what kind of campagin are we talking about? when would it start? and is mordheim terain ok for the terrain?

HAHA

it is nice to see that bill has decided to make sence for once and agree with me!

Oh yea, I got Warzone minis too. I agree with Murph (record this one in the record books) that the next campaign like Mordheim needs a lot more structure, more work for the GM, but it is needed.

sounds good i have a large colection of warzone minis i can convert and i have terrain from mordheim. i am not sure if i wanna play this game if there are not some goals to reach. i liked mordheim but it got boring. would this be more of a structured compagin?

Necromunda is based in a "hive world" - basically imagine a planet totally surfaced over with cities, multiple levels deep. Good places to scavenge usable terrain from are spacehulk maps, any of the psuedo sci-fi urban stuff like the Cathedral Doomtrooper set , death in the dark etc...in a pinch you can use just about any rubble/odd buildings.

Figures can be acquired from a variety of sources - but most are somewhat newer than the really cheap old fantasy figures you can press into service for Mordheim. (You're basically looking for a group of humans in "gang" sort of clothes - a good relatively cheap bet is to get a squad of plastic imperial troopers from GW and hit up any of the old timers for some spare sprues of bolters, knives, lasguns etc.) But of course nearly any 25mm "modern" figure will work, I seem to remember some cheap Shadowrun figures which might work as well (not sure they were big enough to pass with 25mm GW stuff)

PS It occurs to me that with a little work with knife and glue + the same spare weapons sprues mentioned earlier, you could use some human Mordheim minis as well as bloodbowl figures.

Mordheim was ok on getting a squad together on the budget. How does Necromundia compare? Can I use Mordheim terrain?

I haven't played in ages, but what I remember of it was that it was a good skirmish game..better than Mordheim in fact. (Largely because Mordheim is based on Warhammer Fantasy Battles, a large scale game, while Necromunda is based on Warhammer 40K, a skirmish scale game to start with.)
