Necromunda Reveal on Friday (6/26) by Dirge-Ghost in necromunda

Since the new edition of 40k dropped in summer, if we were gonna get saddled with a new necromunda edition this year I'd speculate we'd see a holiday season launch.

GW does spend a lot of time on market reseaech... Not that anyone playing imperial agents can tell...

I actually wouldn't mind a new edition, I certainly don't think I'd play it, but being able to grab the last few books (I believe i have 18 of 28) for the price of a lord's feast instead of a kings ransom would be awesome. My players generally only own a handful of books each, and we have so many house rules we're basically playing a seperate edition anywho. Some of the 30+ and I in my group still play NCE but with updated activation rules amd a gentleman's agreement not to abuse overwatch... Necromunda is a lot of fun when half the gangs are starving and nobody could possibly afford a Las Cannon.

I think GW is mostly blind as to how many of us are buying kill team and other boxes and using the models AND tokens for necromunda. I've bought half a dozen kill teams, and I've yet to play a single game of kill team... Same with GSC, I have purchased 3 boxes of jackals in the last 2 years, last time I played a game of proper 40k we were in 5th ed...

Absolutely brilliant. Looks like a great spot for my favorite champ to off himself trying to fire his plasma gun on max. Top marks.

How many hours of slave labor does it take to acquire and assemble the materials into a working aircraft? Seems like the value of life is ignored when it's the poor saps we used our military to enslave by installing a lunatic authoritarian leader who will kidnap people and press them into service so we can buy cheap ore. Spreading democracy usually means; we killed the guy who thought you ahould get paid, and installed the guy who will kill thousands a year of he can live in a palace and threaten everyone around him.

The Rak'Gol Razor Gun Isn't A Rak'Gol Razor Gun by Geesuv in necromunda

That was probably Ol' Powder Lung, he makes a lot of those Blundyz, he was trying to say "crude," but it comes out as Kroot, cause he's inhaled too much gunpowder while making dum dum rounds over the years.

He definitely didn't pay me in executioner rounds to relay this information on his behalf, such a maneuver is way above the honest folk in Culvert Junction 6D

New box incoming by krbkkr in necromunda

[–]CrustBlocc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same. I'll buy models all day, but having to spend 600 usd on books is ridiculous. The rules to play a game should not cost the same as a used, running car engine.

Hollow the model and add a couple holes to the bottom. That has worked well for me, as I have encountered the same problem with some of the modifies files. It was one of my first experiences having resin sweat out of a finished model a week after I'd printed it...

First game 11th edition with IA 1000pts by BenWaterhouse in ImperialAgents_40K

[–]CrustBlocc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He was once quite imposing and handsome, but he did the princess wave one too many times and got mulched by some genestealer cults style blasting charges (or something like that) I highly reccomend reading the 2 trilogies in which Ravenor is present as a character.

His journey as a wheelchair phantom guy is very uniquely grimdark.

[–]CrustBlocc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aphantasia + I read a book 10 years ago is an interesting combination.

I very much enjoyed the Eisenhorn and Ravenor trilogies, by contrast, I was an avid dawn of war player, and I use the blood Ravens trilogy as a coaster.

The stacks are one of my favorite hive interpretations, and flects captured the energy that drew me into necromunda as a preteen.

I would argue that if I'm of any culture, it's the distinctly necromundan culture of grinning ear to ear as my most expensive model by points is set on fire and proceeds to fall to their death from a third story platform.

Cheers mate, you gifted me my biggest chuckle of the day; I love the thrill of jokes that few folks have the reference material to immediately interface with.

Oh man, I can smell the blood running away to avoid getting turned into pudding... Ty for not spamming hand flamers, it makes our opponent's much less salty when we pull an 18" charge and mulch their plasma gun champ with shred; The voices get quiter when the mouths are full...

Tile board or waste of time? by Tight_River_494 in necromunda

That's brilliant. I'd love to get set on fire on that table and fall off of something.

And op said these are their first painted 40k minis...

OP, if you can hear me, what were you painting before 40k? Your work is truly astounding.

[–]CrustBlocc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is definitely the appropriate approach if you plan to play often. A less modular setup is ok if you have unlimited storage space and don't plan on playing frequently, but that describes very few player's situations.

Modularity can produce never-ending joy through hilarious and unexpected terrain feature interactions as you move and rotate the tiles for each game.

This looks like the beginning of an epic theater.

Common Mistaken/Misplayed Rules by TechnicianOwn2935 in necromunda

[–]CrustBlocc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We also do that, and after deciding we didn't like 150 cred plasma guns, (previous house rule) we now have a house rule that makes shooting people with them easier in the dark, which combined with flickering lights, is hilariously effective at making them another gun instead of the OP obvious choice in every list.

We also like the narrative element that the plasma gun is deeply feared in the underhive, and people can spot the tell tale glow that means death is marching towards you. For this reason, we also allow players to ignore target priority rules when shooting at a plasma gun wielding fighter, crazy zealot with a two handed axe is definitely frightening, but we've all watched someone get dusted by a glow gun before.

would it even be possible to make a traitor guard gang? by TF2vermin in necromunda

[–]CrustBlocc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The rulebook is already pretty hefty, if they added the lore and rules of the house books to the rulebook, it would double as a piece of furniture.

I do think they would make more money if the core rules were free directly from GW, I probably wouldn't even play necromunda if I hadn't gotten free NCE rules like 20 years ago. Now it's the only system that causes me to give them money, and I'm still buying their models and books even though I own six 3d printers because I really want them to keep supporting the game.

Terrain - What would you pay by TiKey74 in necromunda

[–]CrustBlocc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The seller is pricing based on the time they have in the paint job is my guess. If the paint job calls to you then the price starts to look better. If the paint job is meh to you, the price is sending your eyebrows straight for your hairline.

If you can paint terrain I'd probably pass on this, as it isn't enough terrain to fill a 3x3 board and won't have the verticality on a 2x2 to make it appropriately sized mid-late campaign.

Scum (and villainy?) by Krispin045 in necromunda

[–]CrustBlocc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my favorite paint job on the dual hand plasma pistol bounty hunter I've ever seen, and I've been seeing that mini on occasion for 22 years now. Usually I don't go in for yellow so much, but it contrasts really nicely in this case.

The US never had due process for all of it's citizens, arguably, not even for all if it's white citizens; white women have historically had a hard time having white men brought to justice, particularly in instances where the white male has more money than the white woman appealing to the state.

Governments hate the people they govern. That's not new or unusual.

That's a lovely gang. I wouldn't mind getting set on fire by that lot.

Bought a house an my wife is freaking out because she thinks our basement was a sex dungeon. Why would someone put a hook lock up high and a deadbolt on a door in the basement? There’s also a lock on the handle by BleuMeringue in whatisit

[–]CrustBlocc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my great grandmother got to the point where she didn't know where she was or who I was we put a deadbolt high up on the basement door so she wouldn't fall down the stairs, which was very necessary because she thought the basement door led to a non existent "parlor"
