I'm excited for that orc and black goblin even if they are shown off with weird paint jobs. I am more excited for this though:

Does Forge World tend to bring this stuff with them to conventions? I'll be at Origins in June and hope I can pick up somethings directly then.

I love the game myself but yeah, no one to play it with :(

Based on the main facebook group for the game it is still rather large in the UK.

Anyone have any good recommendations for Necromunda terrain? It can be official GW, good laser cut stuff, whatever. Just wondering where is a good place to start for 3d terrain when you don't have any.

Thanks for all the suggestions, those all look like great options. Here's a related question. I have access to a laser cutter with a 12"x24" bed. Do any of you know of any decent AI files, free or sold, for laser cutting out Necromunda terrain?

I don't know how good you are with Corel (I assume that's what you still use for laser cutting?) but there are scans of the original NM terrain out there. You could make yourself a really sharp looking OG NM table from MDF PDQ IMO. Sorry. I had to do that.

Can you get access to that super thin MDF? I was looking around in the US, and it's pretty rare, as far as I can tell - most of the places that carried it were in the UK and shipping was prohibitively expensive.

I actually use Adobe Illustrator for this, but it would be totally doable, if I had scans of the NM terrain, to just trace them and do laser cuts that way. I may try and do that...

Seconding Ashcans, what do you mean by superthin? Is it actually MDF or are you talking about chipboard (the same stuff board game pieces are made out of)?

There's a guy on Patreon called Marchen Play who does plans and has a giant set of platform and gantry scenery. I give him a couple bucks every time he puts out a plan. I really like his work.

This looks pretty promising, though I wish you could get a preview pic of the stuff that is for patreons only. I would totally throw him some bucks if I knew what I was getting for it.

Here are some actual roller derby miniatures if you want to go third party and convert them to necromunda. I think it would be easier, honestly.

An old friend passed away a few years ago, and other friends gave me all of his warhammer related stuff, so I have two old Necromunda boxes with various parts missing but I don't have a desire to play necromunda for a lot of reasons. As far as I can tell, the only stuff that's probably of interest is the sprues of (orlock? is that the default?) gangers, but if anyone wants this stuff I'll send it to you. I can take additional pictures tonight if you want to look at something in particular, but it will all be with my phone. I'm fine with sending it to the US, beyond that we might be able to work something out?

fe: the link works for me, but if it doesn't for others, I'll fix it when I'm not on my phone.

I would love that stuff, even just one of the boxes. The bulkheads and other stuff would go to good use in our new necromunda league my club just started up.

Yeah, I guess you are right on the multiple pistols, I'll drop one of those.

I think the organizer wants to keep the games a little shorter and make the game seem less intimidating at first which is why we have a 500 point start. No idea if it will work out that way or not.

I'm doing a research project that partially will be comparing the differences between the original Escher and the new (2017) Escher. Those of you that played Old Necromunda, do you know which of the original rule books are the best ones to look at for both Escher stats and Escher fluff? I have all of the novels already but looking into how they are portrayed to the players in both stats and flavor now.

Does anyone know who the designers of the 2017 version of necromunda are? I need to cite the rule book for the bibliography of a chapter I am writing and for some reason the designers are not listed in the book.

The reason is that Hams are literally the worst and sent death threats to codex writers when their waifu/husbandu units got nerfed.

I think the correct citation form is:

Anyone looking to get into Blood Bowl and needs teams? I have an old WHFB box with classic Bloodbowl, plus some Deathzone stuff.
5 metal teams, plus the two base plastic ones. No star players, painting status is mixed from none to three colors neat.
* Norse, metal
* Skaven, metal
* Dark elves, metal
* Dwarves. metal
* Wood Elves, metal
* Orc, plastic
* Human, plastic
Could this go to all one place? Lotta house and storage purging has to move forward.

I don't know what you want for this all but I could actually use it for the small blood bowl collection I maintain at the university library I work at.

Not too much to tell. I run what is essentially a digital humanities lab in the library of a large university and I run a lot of game based programs and am growing a game collection for people to use for research, pedagogy, and entertainment. We have the Blood Bowl base box set for people to use as it is and play Gas Lands fairly regularly since we can teach people how to design in 3d and use making tech like 3D printers and then have them use what they made in the game.

Speaking of local gaming trends, if anyone is in the greater Philly area and wants to play these dumb dead games, let me know.

Where are you exactly? I am in Philadelphia. I built up a huge set of armies for Lord of the Rings Warmaster I have yet to get the table. Epic and other things sound interesting I just don't have any units for those games.
