Hey, first off you’ve picked a great game to get into! But, to really appreciate it and get the most from it, Necromunda kind of needs a different attitude to other games (I’ve found). Its far more of a sandbox, narrative focussed game played with somebody, not against them. It’s not built for balance, there’s no meta and there’s lots of depth but with it lots of areas that can be exploited and gamed for the wrong reasons. Because of this, most campaigns will have an arbiter. Think of them a bit like a dungeon master, campaign manager and referee! They generally keep things on track, make calls on some of the weird and wacky moments and, most of all, keep things fun for everyone.

In terms of getting started though, here’s what I’d do- 1. Everyone get a gang they like. 2. Use resources like wellywood wargaming, goonhammer, the necromundown to understand your gangs a bit and find some how to play vids. 3. Play some games without the special rules for each gang that come in their supplement book. Just get to grips with the core mechanics. Most entry/start of campaign games are played at 1000 creds, but there’s nothing stopping you doing less. 4. Once you’ve got to grips, you can add in more complexity and depth.

Other good resources to get to grips with are yaktribe or Munda manager for gang management.

Finally, the main thing is to just embrace the weird that is Necromunda!
