necromunda

[Lost Egg]

No idea of the US price but in the uk its £80 which a lot less than many people were suggesting when the game was first announced.

I believe its marines (mostly scouts with some options like termie or veteran) as well as guard and orks. There are also Ork clan rules and marine chapter rules as well as some IG rules (I think Steel Legion are in).

Wow! I just saw your post about the 'Original' vs 'Newer' ranges.

I always wanted to get some of the newer figures, but I think you have officially made me pleased that I went out of my way to get all the original figures and never took notice of the newer ones. I can't believe they were ever actually made by GW. They look like Necromunda themed third-party replicas...

[Samsonov]

I never knew those 2nd version of Necromunda sculpts were done by trainees. Makes a lot of sense, they were pretty sub-par.

I actually quite like the redux Ratskins. A few of the old ones weren't crusty-looking enough. Ratskins should look like scavvies wearing animal skins

The one that really puzzles me is the Redemptionists. Shane Hoyle sculpted an amazing multi-part gang that was never released, which I have most but not all of. (I put some pics up on the CCM website, and can post some better ones here if you like). I have no idea why GW released the doss redux Redemptionists instead of Hoyle's sculpts. Specialist Games made some seriously bad decisions towards the end of its life!

Also, kinda amazed we get to have this thread rather than have it folded into the general GW discussion thread

I see sneaky old Mantic games have put a limited offer on their Battlezone terrain bundles where they throw in a copy of the Deadzone 2.0 rulebook for free. They must've expecting an increase in interest in the Deadzone terrain off the back of Shadow War. Don't miss a trick!

Please d so, I am most intrigued.

I just got a copy, if anyone has a question,  I will try to answer.
Im just going to unload the terrain on Ebay or Bartertown, I have enough terrain already.

[Grimmnar]

I have all the cardboard terrain for necro but none of the plastic bits to connect them.

I do have a 3d printer though

any help in making my own would be appreciated.

Cool, I may see about casting some of those in resin. Thanks for the link

Hi Samsonov,

Here is a pic of the unreleased Redemptionists. The chainsaw guy and the two guys flanking him are all unreleased parts, the others I had to complete with various released bits. The minis have lots of lovely details, like clubs wrapped in barbed wire.




They also make quite good mechanicus underlings

Nicely sculpted figs.  The ones that they did release weren't as well done but maybe GW decided that a Necro-KKK gang might not be the best thing for a family-friendly game company?

[Samsonov]

Yep, those are very nice if a bit too KKK. Still, probably would have sold more than the specialist games ones.

[Bloodaxe]

If you want hood cultists, just get a box of Frost grave Cultists. Northstar even makes a sci-fi accessories set for them.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

The figures are pretty good, though the heads make them look like Space Pixies with bags over their helmets.

Moving back up the thread, the Perry figures were great (I used them as reinforcements for the Tallarn that made up the core of my gang), the Jes Goodwin ones were good, and the Gary Morley (?) Ones so so.

The Necromunda 2 figures less so.

I think through rose tinted specs, everyone is forgetting the fundamental flaw with all the metals: necromunda was a campaign system where you would upgrade your gangers...with no way of actually representing them on the tabletop! We used to just use stock figures and "remember" that the goliath leader had a bionic eye, power fist and carapace armour (or whatever) by the tenth game. Even as a kid I thought it was quite a silly system.
