NECROMUNDA MAGAZINES and the original ASH WASTES | History of Necromunda #4

Finally back with the next part of History of Necromunda, and I've stopped off in between first and second editions for a short trip around all the extra material featured in the various Necromunda magazines published by Games Workshop, including a look at the original Ash Wastes setting!

    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! 😉

    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.

    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

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.

    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.

    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.

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?
