A quick rules question- the Legionary Anointed has a rule that says:

So if he takes three wounds, does he roll for each discrete point of damage ie 3 times?

Yes. You roll once for each individual point of damage. I played against this guy yesterday, and he rolled 20 of them at once. Sadly for him, he only made 3.

I wanted Kill Team Shadowvaults a lot but since it's gone out of stock now, and new boxes come out fairly frequently, how likely is GW to do a rerun of a specific box like that that was in high demand these days? I remember they did a longer run for Indomitus but that was obvs the launch of 9th 40k.

I'm kind of tempted to get Into the Dark since the terrain was my main reason but I rathered the teams in Shadowvaults, and dont need the extra core book in ITD.

Sorry if this was already covered.

Search LGS that ship for them. My store has two, and they will ship. You will pay full retail, but them the breaks. I tried to PM you the URL, but you don't have them :cry:

EDIT: Actually, they seem to be in stock all over the place: https://www.gamenerdz.com/warhammer-40k-kill-team-shadowvaults

Hey guys I have a question regarding the Kill team roster:-

I noticed that the game allows you to equip side items like specific grenades, mines, shovels, etc. each with an equipment point value (with the total equipment allowed being 10), I built the data cards for my team but I want a good flexible way of assigning equipment differently per game, I cant really see a token specifying this in the starter box, and I dont want to print a checklist for every time we play a game.

I'm thinking of making my own custom tokens that would allow each faction to have a physical thing they can put on their unit card so we can keep track of who is equipped with what. the front of the token is what equipment it is (Krak Grenade, Rosary, Shovel, etc.) and the back of the token is the point value of the item, that way it would be much easier for players to quickly choose and count up their item values to 10 and assign equipment to anyone they want in the team.

would that work? I'll give it a try and see.

Roster is for base models only (narrative might be different, I’m talking open and match play only) because equipment buying and assigning happens during the set up of each game individually. A lot of people use tokens next to the model or sitting on the card to represent them. Personally, I use a token next to the model for grenades, and just write down the rest on a scrap of paper.

I researched online and looked through that krieg builds on that reddit post, apparently the single-box krieg that comes in the starter set is severely compromised, those ancillary troops are pretty important and so is being able to field 14 troops with the full gunner options, I’ll just get another veteran box so I can have the full uncompromised team, and use what I have now to learn the ropes of the game in the meantime while it’s shipping. Lol GW got me again.

Go to the supermarket and buy a $2.99 bag of 20 army men in the toy aisle. Prime 4 of them, and you have your ancillary troops. They are also good for testing out painting techniques!

The Necromunda world and model range are so fuckin' cool and it's a shame that it's a relatively unpopular game (and that you can't really play it competitively, which probably also hurts its popularity). Every time I see a new release for it I want to turn them into sweet conversion bits.

I think what makes it so awesome is that you can't play it competitively. The people who ply it in our area are all the kind of people you actually want to play games with.

I feel this thread could benefit from a refresh. The OP is full of dead image links and out of date information.

I am unsure if it is better to renovate the OP (though the creator of the thread has been absent from it for 4 years), or if we might want to consider a new thread for the new year. I was looking for WARMASTER info and it is thin on the ground here. I would hope we could point to resources like the LRB and STLs of minis, and I can only imagine that other specialist games might benefit from the same kind of updates.

Just a thought.

I'd be happy to contribute a Necromunda section (and Kill Team as well)

NECROMUNDA

Necromunda is a 28mm+ sci-fi skirmish game where criminal gangs battle each other in the Underhives and Ash Wastes of the titular planet Necromunda. It's Judge Dredd meets Mad Max in the grim darkness of 40k. Necromunda is not a competitive style game; its campaign focus, inherent insanity and swinginess (which are good things!) means min-maxers and rules lawyers don't play it; the people who play it are all the kind of people you actually want to play games with. This is reason enough to pick it up.


In Necromunda, your choices stick with you, as the game is almost always played in a Campaign setting. Between games, your gang grows and changes as wounded gangers might get injuries or even die, you hire new recruits, veteran members gain experience and get deadlier, weapons & equipment become available to purchase, and turf of various types can be gained and worked for additional income. Your gangers will develop personalities, nicknames, and epic stories as your campaign progresses, and the attachment you'll feel to your gang as it evolves is one of the best parts of the game.

You can play as one of 12 different gangs, including the radical all-female Eschers, the high-tech VanSaar, space dwarves, and the cops. You can also make your own from scratch with the Book of the Outcasts! Whatever your style, there's a band of hungry killers that's right for you.


You'll need at least two books to play. The good news, is, Necromunda has lots and lots and lots of books! Basically, you need a set of game rules, and a set of gang rules. The game rules live in their own rulebook, which you can get standalone as the Core Rulebook, or as part of the Ash Wastes box. The Ash Wastes book is an updated version of the core one, with rules for vehicles and some other minor updates. Gang rules come in a variety books: the "House of ____" books for the each of the big six House gangs, and any number of "Book of ____" books which contain rules for multiple non-house gangs.


As an alternative, the Hive War box set is still available, gets you two gangs (Delaque and Escher) a "light" version of the rules and gangs, and heaps of really great terrain that are worth the price of the box by itself.

Resources:

Yaktribe. Use this to build your gangs, make gang cards, track campaigns, etc. It is a little bit behind the times as it is made by one person and with all the Ash Wastes stuff and new gangs, sometimes that means new stuff takes a little bit of time to make it in the app. That said, it is an invaluable resource, and the forums have lots of good info and helpful files like cheat sheets, custom scenarios, etc.

WH Community Downloads Has some scenarios, NPC, and other good stuff that you will find useful.

I love Malifaux, and can confirm that something like 60% of the kits are wonderful, 25% of them are a pain in the rear end, and 5% of them are mostly wonderful, but have one or two tiny pieces that make you want to give up the hobby.

Wyrd is a shining example of the "anti-GW" though. Free rules, free app made by them for playing, a free plugin for an open source table top game platform so you can play the game on the internet for free "officially", etc. That said, my GW pile of shame is still bigger than my Wyrd one. Although its much closer after Wyrd's Black Friday event :cry:

EDIT: I also edited the Necromunda post back a bit if anyone wants to give further feedback.
