The rulebook is done...It has been released in the UK but there is no release date for the US yet...I heard they might not release it to to many other parts of the world...

The rules were damn good and I don't think they need to be changed, but GW no longer makes some of the dice neccesary so they tinkered with the rules...as far as I've heard these have been good changes so far, but at least one rule change bothers me. The Hand Flamer used to have its own template...since they dont want to spend money to make new templates, the Hand Flamer uses the current flame template, but is only good for one shot. After that it is usuable only in HtH...Lame...

That Really sucks 'cause the Hand Flamer was a key element in my undefeated and rightfully feared Esher Gang

Gang rating is a mix of Equipment and Experiance. It's kind of a way to judge how good a Gang is. It's a close relative of the 40k points system. However when playing a against a gang with a far superior gang rating your Gangers will gain more experiance, and if you win you get a bonus to your income as the local merchants hear of your great victory...

You start with 1000 credits to hire gang members and equip them, each gang member has varying amounts of experiance, ranging from 60+ for a Leader or a Heavy, to 20+ for a starting Ganger, to Zero for Juves... when you're done Hiring your Gang members and calculating thier Experiance you add them together to get Gang Rating.

Much like DnD when you reach a new level of experiance you get an advancement...

Bornindarkness, i would recomend starting necromuda!!

Cheack out gamesworkshops Specialist Games Site:

Link to Necromunda Resources!

I think it tells you when the new rulebook comes out.

one of the best things about necromunda is that it is faily cheap to play.
I got my Gang for 29 pounds and i will never need to get any more. (appart from the odd weapon, but they can come out of my spare 40k bits)

Go for an Escher gang!!!

What's Necromunda, i think ive seen it somewhere :confused:
Necromunda is a game of gang warfare in an underhive city. The more your gang fights, the more experianced (Represented in Stat increases and speical skills) and richer (and therefor better Equiped) it gets. It really is a very fun game, and easy to learn too (its rules are very similer to 40ks really)

Try it and get some friends involved!

BTW theres an Orky version called Gorka Morka which is more vehical based. But finding opponants for that is almost impossible!

Online... Doesn't that defat the purpose of a "tabletop" wargame? Necro is far better played F2F than over the Internet.

And in all of my online gaming experiences, rampant cheating was the order of the day. It always seemed there was some Low Self-Esteem 10 year old on the other end who thought winning was evertyhing and that cheating is cool...

Necromunda is the best game GW makes, the weapons and background of 40K with small squads that you grow attached to and create a story as you play, a lil bit of RPing with your wargaming. Not to mention it does not cost much to play, you need anywhere from 3-15 models tops, compared to 40K or WFB which requires tons of minis....

Gorka Morka is almost the same game as Necro, just with Orks as the "gangs" they include vehicles in Gorka Morka which makes for a different game, and lots of collisions. Most of the games of Gorka Morka I played were basically demolition derbies...

But becareful Necromunda can become very addictive...

Try it I'm sure you'll like it...

As for peoples question as to if it's worth playing. Yes, Yes, Yes, it is definately the best game that GW has ever made in my opinion. I have collected every gang ( at least with my friends splitting the cost.) With no other GW game can you get as attached to your unit as you can with a necromunda gang. Personally I have played with the militia like Van Saar as well as Escher as my main gangs. It does't cost an arm anda leg to play since you only need a relatively small gang to play. It's definately fun to watch as all of your gangers who were down at the end of the game have to roll on a chart to see what happens to them. Sometimes they get better from learning sometimes they lose body parts and some times they outright die. Which is definately fun when your gangers start earning nicknames from you or other gangers. One of my favorite Escher gangers earned her nickname ole' one eyed Biaatch after taking out many gangers in HtH and refusing to die each gang....... course she lost an eye in the process........ In my opinion this is definately a game to look at.

Necromunda in my opinion is the best GW game ever made. It used to be #2 back in 40k 2nd edition. That was when they both used the same rules system. But once 3rd edition came out, and they changed and screwed up all the rules, Necromunda became my number one fave. However not many people have ever even heard of it. I first got introduced to it when I went to my local gaming store one weekend to play some 40k, and next to our gaming table, these two guys had this huge dioramma of a bombed out rubble filled city. It was so cool! the best gaming table I have seen to this day! So I talked to them and they told me about this great game called Necromunda. Well I decided to play a game with them, and I loved it! Everyone should try it!
What I really loved was the endless possibilites for conversions, because the way I played Necromunda, was what you see is what you get. If your Gang Leader want a power sword and bolt pistol, the model had to show it, or at least have a holster for a pistol. But I have never gotten into converting miniatures like I do with Necromunda.

And one of the best things about Necro, was the cheap startup cost. all you had to do was through down the $22.00 to buy a gang, or however much it was. and also have a copy of the rules. thats probably why GW discoed the game, was because after you spent $30 you never had to spend any more to play the game. And that TOTALLY goes against everything GW stands for now.


May the Light of the Emporer shine on you in death and in life.

Necromunda is a great game. Unfortuanatly everybody stopped playing when 3rd edition rules came out. If you know th old skool rules I suggest you get into it.

The great thing about the game is the possiblity for all kinds of things to happen. If you like to change things around and mix it up a bit by throwing in a gang of Genestealer Cultists or a Bike Gang. Its all possible. Their are rules for both of these available from the Gang Wars mag that used to be out. But you can find them on the net too i think.

Top game, cheap to play, really get attached to your gang.

For those of you that are interested, all the Necromunda you can handle will be released in the US throughout the month of March. Look for the rulebook the first week of March, shortly followed by new Orlock and Goliath models.

And the thing that's got me all fired up (literally!)... the Redeemer! Yes, that's right, the Redeemer is a special character for Necromunda, and they're putting out a model for him and everything. Look in White Dwarf 290 (March 2004 issue) for pics and more news.
