I'm looking forward to seeing what the new miniatures for the Ash Wastes expansion will be like. My Necromunda gangs get a lot of cross-game use as raiders, traders, and preservers in This Is Not A Test or raider space crews in Stargrave. So miniatures for a Mad Max-style Necromunda game are right up my alley.
Does this series have any more episodes coming soon? I've recently started looking back into the hobby after finding all my 90's stuff when clearing out my parents loft. I was really into 1st Ed Necromunda & Outlanders. I'm really interested to see what's changed in the last 20+ years, stopping the videos for so long when you've explained up to same point I stopped playing is just a tease! 😉
Hands down the best Necromunda content on RU-vid. My friend and I have recently picked up the first edition and I can quite comfortably say it's been my favourite tabletop experience ever. Great to know there's loads more content and scenarios out there, thank you :)
Yeah, I had that guy, along with his Eldar fire dragon bodyguards and the Armageddon sniper. Sold them on eBay many years ago, which I *kind of* regret a little, but realistically never had much of a chance of hitting the table.
Just barely found the channel about a week or so ago Got really into the history of Necromunda videos, and was really disappointed to find that there were only 3 of them. Super excited for this one. I love seeing the history of how games (and the models) evolve over time.
Necromunda was my first minis game (I know I've typed this comment on YT before, maybe even here on your channel) so those issues of White Dwarf and Citadel Journal were some of the first I owned and read. Great memories... I still have them around here somewhere, although I don't have a complete collection of any outside of WD. Knowing how wildly untested and wacky the Blood Bowl articles were from that era (we used some of them in a modern league ~3 years ago), I have to imagine that a lot of those Necromunda articles will "break" the game, while some of them will be nuggets of pure gold. :-D
This is easily my favorite warhammer channel and I can say that I will always be happy to wait for your content. The quality is ridiculous and I love that you embrace the sillier side of things. I hope that you find some time to spoil yourself and explore the regions that you're headed.
I missed so much of this when I was still playing GW games during this era. Feels like there was a huge amount of choice and tons of options for everything, a lot of it only barely touched on by the main GW design studio.
@@1926jqg I honestly couldn’t tell you, I don’t keep up much with wargaming news. I mean, to be fair… Necromunda might still count for that? Lots and lots of supplements, official minis, and probably the ability to use tons of non GW minis too
Your videos are filling me with nostalgia for my teenage 40k 3/4E days, and making me want to play again, but I really don't think I can commit to a full army any more. On the other hand, I wonder if I can convince a couple of members of my boardgaming group to get into Necromunda... (even if I have to promise to paint their minis for them!) Can't wait for the next one of these, and your thoughts on Necromunda 2017.
I loved the Squat Fighting Retreat module that brought in elements from Spacehulk. Playing a squat team that slowly dwindled away through the campaign as you couldn't replace loses and the tyranid GM force that gradually grew through the increasing number of random blip tokens per game.
Great video as usual Ian! I remember seeing those converted Ash Waste dune buggies in old White Dwarf magazines, can't remember for what though. Also remember the Savlar Chem-Dogs regiment of the Imperial Guard (sorry, Astra Militarum ;) ) who were basically the same concept as the Ash Waste Nomads but as a WH40K army instead of a Necromunda gang. Certainly resulted in very similar looking conversions in my experience.
Ok 2 things I HAVE to say that tickled me in the right way: When you 1st talked about Citadel Journal, you showed an issue - I happen to have that exact one (if I recall I bought it for the Blood Bowl content this issue had) And the Movies Article... we actually played that "Predator" scenario in the campaign we ran at the gaming store i worked at when this was released. When you talked about the movies I was really hoping you'd mention it and, well you didn't disappoint :)
I always figured a gang teeing off against a lone Imperial Fist would be highly amusing since they infamously recruit from Necromunda, or a lone assassin looking to eliminate a specific target within the gang . The predator idea made me think of how Karandras, the striking scorpion phoenix lord, would be a suitable predator stand in.
I have some old Tallarn Desert raiders painted up as ash waste nomads. I also have a Eldar Ranger gang that was planning to use for our expansion into Ash Wastes. Never really got off the ground for us in our campaign though.
I love the history vids of Necromunda, a game I always regret never getting into. Maybe I'll check out the current line before prices go up. Great stuff though! Ian, are all the mag shots in the video part of your own collection, or did you just somehow find them online? I can't imagine anyone keeping all these magazines from the 90s to present in their loft, on the off-chance they'd be making a video of the history of Necromunda on a video sharing website many years later!
If you look in the description, there's a link to the Necromunda Compilation V1, which I created years ago, and was a single document containing every random doc I could find at the time, lots of which used to be available on Fanatic Online. That's where all the shots came from!
This seems as good a place as any to ask - many years ago I remember a Citadel Journal article that I'd love to read again. It was a tactics article about Eldar, basically encouraging you to embrace fast-attack, with an army heavy on jetbikes, vypers and falcons. This was for 2nd Edition, but I've no real concept of exactly when. Anyone out there remember what issue it was in?
Oh, and I also have fond memories of a Wood Elf v Dark Elf campaign in the Journal with comedy names like Aejacs Pinethresh and Vak'Yom Kliina. Again, anyone know where I might read that again?
fwiw i tried "citadel journal eldar" just now and did get some hits for scanned articles, but seemingly not the one you were after (stuff about exodites, who i'm pretty sure don't ride jetbikes ;) )
So much scope here to use existing models converted for the ash wastes. I've got so many ideas using Fantasy, AOS, Kill Teams, 40k & Necromunda all Mish Mashed together for Ash Wastes. Must have cowboy hats for???
Love your videos, have had them on non stop whilst painting recently. Would you consider making a good books guide to non-imperium faction novels? I loved the vid on best Horus Heresy novels!
I'm new to necromunda & like the look of the Mercator Nautica Syphoning Delegation models from FW. Could you plz tell me what battle reports they would likely be in as the more recent reports don't seem to be in??? I'm looking for ideas for gangs with these miniatures in them.
Ash wastes is one of the coolest part of Necromunda but I've never seen a campaign played. It was hard to get just heavy weapons in N95, it must have been hell to maintain vehicles.
