Honestly One thing about necromunda that always bugged me was that people played it on tables with HUGE lines of sight! This is meant to be a twisting hive , not a roof battle on top of the local co-op!

As much as i love (And wish for) more verticality in games, getting people into the cramped tunnel fighting mindset seems like a good idea.Then they can move up to the shadow wars scenery which is more open but is also very cramped and has alot of cover built in.

This means of course, eventually I'll have to do a full Necromunda board...back burner for a while though.

Time to start figuring out how to make a 3D version of the board sections

These are the easiest method... https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-JP/searchResults?qty=com.gamesworkshop.endeca.EndecaUserContext%404249d91b&sorting=&view=&Ntt=zone+mortalis

Have I been conditioned by high pricing, but are these tiles not actually too bad value? Especially considering the time saved making something similar. Not as fun as DIY I guess though.

I actually thought the same a while ago... £28 each.. not cheap but certainly not too bad for what they are.

I like the look of the new figures for the most part, but what's with the giant revolvers the Goliaths are toting? Those are just odd.

Hand Cannons!

I quite like those board I have to say..



Deathwatch Overkill and Silver Tower are beauties but overdone.
Those look simple and gritty but great at the same time.

My only peve with them is lacking of walls, but they should be doable

[nic-e]

Making the walls could be easy enough. Make one section and a corner and cast them in plaster.

I'm wondering ....if you made the walls about 6 inches high and put some ladders/hatch markers on the boards, you could maybe make a vertical/tower board.

Yeah, and for those that missed it, some of the Space Marine Primaris characters are really nice, like the Chaplain:

I considered buying those plain Zone Mortalis tiles for the SW:A and for the Necromunda as well but opted against it in the end. For a decent 4' x 4' table one would have to buy 16 tiles and that money could be spent elsewhere, thus the cheaper option for me. But it was very tempting and hard to resist the lure of nice premade tiles  Then again if Necromunda is playable, as it seems, on smaller board, say 3' x 3', then only nine ZM tiles needed, quite a price drop there.

I was thinking simpler, Foamcore for starters but around 2-3 inch high. To have wall impression but to not hinder moving miniatures.

Moving them in 2 broad room with 7 inches walls could be difficult.

I'm looking forward to the outlanders supplement and any new gangs they bring out. Will they do ash waste nomads? (I could actually imagine that as a separate game by itself, kind of like Gorkamorka.)

Unless it's been announced I wouldn't hold your breath. Some people are still expecting a Deathwing and Genestealer expansion for Space Hulk!

[beefcake]

I'll live in hope

[Dr. The Viking]

I could see those tiles work out well in judge dredd like settings too. Perhaps together with that other battle cardboard stuff.

[stone-cold-lead]

I hope the boards are good quality card like we've seen in their big box boardgames and not the cheap flimsy type they used in Gorechosen.
