My friend and I are about to try and play our first campaign of Necromunda. We have the Dark Uprising box, and I'll be playing the Enforcers while my friend uses an Orlock gang that he's put together. We're going to play the law & misrule campaign that's in the Book of Judgment, but I'm kinda worried that the rulebook tells you that the campaign is designed for between 6 and 10 gangs. Will this be totally unsuitable for two players? Is Necromunda just not doable with only two players?

It could be a two-player campaign but that seems samey? Maybe when (gestures vaguely around) all this is over with* look on meetup.com or the FB pages of local game stores for leagues? *: It'll never be over with, nothing will ever be normal again,

I was hoping that it would basically be a series of games with opportunities for us to develop our gangs between matches via buying new stuff with our earned credits etc. I just assumed that the framework would work for 2 people or many people. Is that not so?

I say play it like a narrative RPG to keep it fresh. Create your own engagements and rules to make it really pop out and make the deaths really hit hard.

Some great Necromunda going on here! Those Orlocks and Delaque look really impressive. Yeast posted:Haven't read the rules for them yet, but I'm assuming that everyone being armed with basic laspistols is uuuuuh, not good. Yeah, special/high-powered weapons look very expensive in Necromunda, especially on a starting gang. The most common advice for your starting roster is to push to 10 models or as close as possible, and cut what you have to in order to get there. But upgrading weapons is the quickest & simplest route to a better gang. After a few games, pretty much none of my Orlocks or Venators have relied on budget basic weapons. Everyone gets a good/unique ranged weapon, a prestige melee weapon/pistol, or some punchy grenades. I get those before investing in armour or most pieces of equipment. Only exception that springs to mind is if you've got a juve or two who is just there to run around grabbing things or shanking injured fighters.

Will this be totally unsuitable for two players? Is Necromunda just not doable with only two players? There is nothing wrong at all with playing a 2-player campaign. Of course you get more variety of gaming if you have more opponents. One common method is for each player to have 2 (or could even do more) gangs in the fight, and alternate using them. This will obviously increase the possible match-ups, and each gang is still played to win. The only change I would suggest is to control how Rackets are distributed in the L&M campaign. Necromunda campaigns all tend to reward success and punish failure, so gangs can spiral upward or downward in power. With only 2 gangs, you could get into a situation where one player wins repeatedly, and each win gives him more income for future games, until the lead is insurmountable. The Boons (bonuses) which you get for controlling multiple rackets in L&M are very powerful. I would say either: - put a hard cap on the number of Rackets a gang can control - play a lot of games as 'gang raids' where a Racket is not at stake - either of the above but a Dominion campaign. This is where Rackets are entirely replaced by Territories, which have mostly tamer Boons and don't link up for increased Boons in most cases. The campaign is also simpler - you don't have any considerations about lawful or outlaw gangs, you just play and build up your gangs. koreban posted:Is there a resource outside of Goonhammer that breaks down Helot Gang options for Necromunda? I’ll probably never actually play it, but I need a change up from painting black on black armor. You could try on the Necromunda FB groups. Obviously there's a lot of noise to filter out, but someone will definitely give you some advice. The general wisdom I've heard is try and spam loads of cheap gangers, keep your champions as special/heavy weapon platforms, and kit your leader out as much as possible. Definitely give your leader and Witch chaos familiars, and your champions too if you don't mind making enemies - familiars are one of the most annoying things in the game. Skitarii could be played as Venators, or as Van Saar pretty easily. I'm afraid there are no explicit rules for using mechanicus units.

Dumb n00b painting question but I am trying to take a shortcut because I have so many. I am painting up about 150+ stands of Necrons for Epic 40k. Can I just base coat them with silver spray/near chrome? or should I primer them first then spray them down. I'd rather spend time picking out details than doing a base coat.

If you have a metal primer then that will work fine. Leadbelcher from GW works, but there's other companies that do different metal primers too.

I have a feeling like you are going to hate life less if you spray whatever color you are using for the base color on the base, then pic out the figs. At least that was the lesson I learned grinding through Warmaster jams.

I settled on dark green (Vulkan Green as the base) and I'm glad I did. I really like that color. I wound up using maroon for the shorts and gloves on my BB lizardmen.

Your Necrons are going to be a lot easier to pick out with Leadbelcher or whatever, than it's going to be to paint your base color around the Necrons. You're in a unique position where you don't have a heck of a lot of stuff you need to pick out on those models - focus on the base, do your metallic, and put on a Nuln Oil wash and you're going to be golden.

Finally got around to finish my starting Escher. I left one miniature to be added later depending on what weapon/gear I need first:   The camera mades ome of the light teal colours turn out white for some reason. Anyway, leader, champs and juves get special hair colours to tell them apart. Gangers just get pink hair:   Individual pics on the blog: https://krigetkommer.weebly.com/fantasy--sci-fi/necromunda-escher-gang Next up I started building a Delaque team until the FLGS receives the new Escher kit.

I finally got around to take better pics of my finished Ironskull's Boys for Underworlds: https://krigetkommer.weebly.com/fantasy--sci-fi/warhammer-underworlds-ironskulls-boyz      I also picked up the ogre hunter warband for beastgrave. Going to be nice to have these small projects to paint up inbetween larger batches of historical miniatures. I had a lot of problems with photographing with my phone (see my mediocre Escher pics above). Turned out switching the black background for a light grey helped A TON, now the camera doesn't assume that everything that is slightly light grey or beige should actually be pure white. lilljonas fucked around with this message at 18:40 on May 19, 2020 |

8mm is more-or-less Railroad N-scale right? E: It looks like 8mm should* be somewhere between 1:180 and 1:200, N (1:160) is probably a little too big but Z (1:220) is deffo. too small. "6mm" is generally considered to be anything between 1:285 and 1:300 IIRC? *:
