The best game of necromunda I've seen wasnt even with my gang. During a campaign the chaos player took prisoner 1 escher champion and 1 goliath champion in quick succession. We then set a mission where both champions had killed the torturer and had to escape the stronghold starting only with a fighting knife each. We had ducts only the Escher player could crawl through, house rules for distractions and lots of throat slitting. It ended with the goliath player dragging a seriously injured Escher player to the exit before sacrificing himself to let her escape. Amazing moment which later in the campaign resulted in the Escher player and goliath player running an assassination attempt on the chaos player. Brilliant

When it came out in the 90s it continually outsold 40k due to its appeal to the older gamers, however was slowly phased out due to the very low additional sales, basically once you’d bought your gang you were done. I think the best thing necromunda does is show that GW can actually make games with high quality rulesets. Also, if you’re bitter, it massively highlights how dreadful elements of the 40k rules are.

On the point of one gang and done i think they clearly realised with the constant splat book releases with added a lot of extra options in each and regular releases that are added in later books(which you should buy e.g book of the outcast, which i picked up today😃 awesome btw) which any gang can make use of. New hangers on, brutes hired guns or campaign rules. A good example is the psychic stuff in the book of the outcast that adds real value to genestealer cult, helot cults, delaque and well as anyone can ally to psi-syndica its useful to everyone who fancies having a physic in there gang. Every gang book has new hangers on or hired guns sure some are less universally useful but all have something for general use. Rare we get to say it but GW has pretty much perfectly relaunched Necromunda(there awful sort of 2nd ed is so striking in comparison) and although they were clearly tentatively testing the water at launch i think they're all in now and we will see lots of wonderful releases for years to come.

Thank you very much for your videos! You and Tim Eagling (Magrathea Builder of Worlds) inspired me a lot regarding my own planned 3x4 Necromunda table. I plan it to be swamp-themed and modular (30x30cm and 30x15cm pieces) with a harbor area on the right (1x3) consisting of a Palanite Enforcer precinct on 1-1 (the front right piece - 30x30), an industrial area with a crane to unload boats on 1-2 (30x30) and some gambling/pit fight filth in the back on 1-3 (30x30). Along the entire backside (tiles 1 to 4 at the back) there is supposed to be a 30cm high wall that accomodates the gambling/betting complex starting on the right on 1-3, vertical shanty structures along the wall from 2-3 to 3-3 and a waterfall from a pipe coming out of the wall somewhere in 2-3 or 3-3 into the swamp area that ends at the bottom of the wall (two 30x15cm wall modules with some swamp - so they actually should be designated "2-4 and 3-4" since I would need two 30x30 and two 30x15 pieces to make up the middle part of the board). 4-3 then would be a 30x30cm Cawdor module with a trash pile growing out of the swamp, leaning against the backwall and a structure above it, also affixed to the wall as well as standing on the trash pile. I'm not entirely sure yet whether to add a ledge towards the bottom of the wall, just above the water level to provide a walkway along the wall or to rather use that space to add more shanty houses (since I would have to leave enough space above the ledge to be able to walk underneath the shanty houses that would take away quite some available space for houses). The walkway also wouldn't provide any cover, so it might be better to just let the gangers use the shanty structure to move along the wall. Then at the of the board, in front of the Cawdor trash pile, I probably would add a 30x15 water tile to add room for boats to mavouver next to the trash pile. So this would be "4-3" (30x15 - 30x30 - 30x15 - 30x30 - the trash pile). 4-2 would be the center piece in the form of a massive 30x30 shanty sturcture along a vertical concrete column that grows out of the swamp, 60cm high (two 30cm high modules put on top of each other). With some removable connection (maybe a rope bridge) to the Cawdor trash pile structure. Along the front (4-1 to 2-1) I might add three 30x15 tiles with a "breakwater" to provide a walkway along the front of the board, with a floodgate on 2-1 (closed to provide a walkway to the breakwater). In the middle section (2-2, 2-3, 3-2 and 3-3) would be mainly swamp water. Probably with some small islands/structures but enough space for boats to manouver in between. I also plan to add a few boats. A Promethium hauler that would add a priced mission goal, a scrap-collector, a boat for the Palanites, as well as at least two smaller boats for gangers to move on the water. Maybe a trawler. I also plan to make at least some of the pieces modular enough to cover the swamp with a "concrete layer" to use them on "dry" boards, Namely the harbor pieces (the three pieces - 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3 would end at the quay wall so that no water needs to be covered up anyways. But the 30x15 shanty-wall pieces 2-4 and 3-4 and the high shanty structure (the 60cm one) of course got water portions that would have to be covered up. It obviously doesn't make a lot of sense to try to cover up the trash pile piece or the swamp pieces in the middle. Hope the description wasn't too confusing lol. Of course the whole reason for the modularity is storing. Hence also no single module should be higher then 30cm...or larger than 30x30. Oh and I might expand the whole thing to 4x4 ;-)...then however it might get hard to reach over to the stuff on the wall in the back... It however will take some time to start the project, since I'm currently busy building two Adeptus Titanicus armies (Ignatum and Mortis) in parallel (20 Titans and 28 knights atm...but there probably will be more). I also plan to get a laser engraver/cutter and an MDF printer, before starting the Necromunda project...(I also need to print some Adeptus Titanicus terrain ;-) ).

I think the building and techniques are the key. If people want a different colour scheme, they can make their own and paint it however they want! I am wanting to try building some terrain that could be used for Necromunda, but I don’t know all the rules so I don’t know what aspects to keep in mind to optimize playability. You touched on a few key aspects here: fall risk near edges, importance of line of site… One video idea could be specifically be increasing the playability of your terrain for a specific game like Necromunda. Things to keep in mind or include. It could be a great way to have terrain crafters dip there toe in and start with designing a few pieces as they learn more about the lore/setting/game.

It's so great to see you grow as a channel. Congratulations on your growing family

Would love to see a full walkthrough of this board. The hero shots are great and I know most of the pieces are from your other videos but seeing it all put together is so much cooler

You speak on this game with passion. I feel the same way with it. I fell into it 2 years ago and it has become the game I love more than any other. Thank you for all you do to help grow the game.

This is the first video of yours I have watched. I just got some Necromunda terrain and love the style. I would love to get into it and this video solidified my interest. Have a good one dude 😎

I used to play the original Necromunda back in the 90's. Loved the game. But I mostly had the original box set bulkhead terrain for it. When the new game came out I bought in. Still in the process of building up enough stuff to cover my game table. But I'm also figured most of this could be used for Stargrave, KillTeam, and 40K. Which I also own stuff for. But I'm also building for Frostgrave. The goal is to be able to have friends show up, pick which minis they want for whatever game they want to play and go. Love seeing your table and watching your videos is inspiring and helpful as I go. Thanks again for sharing man.

*Loved* seeing all your previous Necromunda builds together as a full table and getting some actual play time! It all looks so awesome! I hope it all gets much more action in the future! Good luck getting the wife into it; if she's the type who's inclined to this sort of game, she'll love it. Sadly, my wife does not enjoy games as complex as Necromunda-type wargames. 😥 If you do manage to pull her into it, I'd love to see some future videos of a battle-reprt nature, either as a "how to play," and/or just playing whole games through on the terrain pieces you've built on the channel! Good stuff!

Glad too see another fellow underhiver. I've always loved Necromunda. Without giving my exact age away I was there when the original game was released. In fact I have even kept the old card buildings. I wasn't able to get all the gangs the first time around but my Escher gang "Femme fatale" which I still have were my favourites. I still love the Ganger model with a heavy stubber. I bought the new version when it came out. The lack of scenery did mean I stopped playing that version, but the release of the Dark Rising box got me back into playing again.

Excellent video. While the primary reason I got into you channel was obviously the terrain, I really dug this one. I have never even considered playing Necromunda (atmosphere is great, but don't like the mini's), you've completely changed my mind on that front. The whole reason I got into this hobby was I really liked the space marine design, and loved painting minis- but trying to wrap my head around the encyclopedic amount of knowledge it seemed required just to play a game of 40k (30k, at the time), coupled with the insane up-front cost, kept me happily painting the figures. This actually sounds fun, and not entirely cost-prohibitive. If the whole idea behind this video was to get more people interested in Necromunda, than you've at least succeeded in piquing my interest. So, Anna, if you're reading this- give it a go. I had ZERO interest in it as a game, and now I'm headed over to amazon to see what it'll cost to get me and a board game buddy into this. Mission accomplished- and enjoy your weekend.

Would love to see a battle report with Mrs. EHW!!! I'd also love to know the details of the lighting setup that made your already amazing table pop!

Great video. Great looking board. I’m also a big fan of alternating turns. I don’t play 40k. I play Star Wars legion for my big battle games. For games similar to necromunda I highly suggest stargrave as well. You can use any models from any line for stargrave and can also use all your awesome terrain as well. Also has campaign or one off modes. Really sounds similar enough to necromunda for you to jump right in. Worth grabbing the book to check it out. On top of what you have all you need is a couple d20s and the rule book. Good luck with your family and channel and keep up the good work.

Hi Eric, my wife and I have been watching your vids for about a year now. We're also similar in age and circumstances as my daughter was born only a year ago (congrats btw).

Hi Eric, just subbed and liking the vids, thought i'd mention a bit of trivia, Necromunda is actually based on a game called Confrontation which was released serialized over a few issues of White Dwarf sometime late 80's i guess, I'll dig around and see if i can find the original rules, I remember me and my brother had so much fun making sprawling pipelines and random terrain from toilet roll tubes and whatever else was laying around. The gang creation aspect was kinda fun too as you had to randomly generate your kit and stuff including how much ammo you had, good times for sure! I only played a couple of games of Necromunda when it first got released and never actually finished painting a gang but who knows, that may change in the future!

Jesus, that board you've got from all the awesome vertical builds is awesome. It's exactly the type of game I want though I'm struggling to figure out how I'll store it... I'm honestly not decided between old or new Necromunda though. I think I'm going to have a centrepiece of a large industrial complex that has a shanty town built on it and then I've backed a KS with stackable resin corrugated huts and also for a more desert/ashlands feel. I'll also use my WWII desert adobe buildings. So i just have to make the centrepiece :D

The alternating activation mechanic reminds me of my favorite tabletop game: X-wing Miniatures Game. It's the mechanic that makes that game so much fun to play, and now that I know Necromunda has that same mechanic, it makes me want to play it!

Playing together really brings a relationship to the next level. And it doesn't matter if it is a friendly or a romantic relationship! You guys will have so much fun and stories to tell! :)

Everything in this video is spot on. Necromunda was enthralling from the minute I saw the hazard striping on the OG box. It really told a sweeping storyline as you played it. Surely your wife wants to experience what teenage boys felt that was compelling enough to bring grown men back to playing with toy soldiers! If not, well, winner picks the child's middle name from their favorite IP. ;D

I’m not sure if I can ever return to Necromunda (since almost all of my old opponents have moved on and away from tabletop games) but I will always have a soft spot in my dusty heart for all skirmish games big and small!!! Awesome looking table by the way 🤘

This is a great advert for the game and I'm very tempted to add some more plastic to my collection ;) I would really love to see you do a how-to-play maybe as a run of shorter tutorials. your game board is amazing. Anna learn to play and become a KZread star!

Do you ever plan on playing some Kill Team 2021?! They have implemented much of Necromunda goodies into it! I Always love your vids!

I have to agree, I got into the game about when you made this Video. It is so completely immersive! There is also a huge hive community full of support and ideas! Great Video Eric! Will grab a t-shirt!

Hive city boards are the GOAT for sci-fi settings!

I've been interested in Necromunda for a while now and seeing how easy it is to pick up I think I'm gonna go for it. I thank you, my wallet doesn't. another great vid Eric, keep it up you'll be at 100k subs in no time. edit. we all wanna see you playing your wife, a campaign would be perfect

Your table set up is incredible. I play original 95 Necromunda with my wife, so hope yours did decide to play Atb Mark

So this is amazing! I’m new to this world and will definitely be getting into necromunda. What are the best places to hit up for lore??

This sounds fun! This mum is seroiusly considering investing in Necromunda for family game night! I envy your wife who already got her awsome army! 🤩

I have to agree that Necromunda is top tier. I actually started into commission work when a guy asked me to paint up his new gang 20+ years ago. The models are nice and the modularity is great. Mordheim needs the same reboot treatment that GW gave to Necromunda.

Congrats on the baby! From how you described it, it sounds a lot like Warcry you should give that a try if you haven't yet

That set up is mad cool 😄 I had some friends reach out and give me bits of Necromunda as I've always wanted to play it. I'm a huge fan of the aesthetic. Eventually I want to make a board like that.

In terms of your goal for this video: mission accomplished. Seeing you spend an afternoon painting and playing with your brothers around the table sipping on beers looked like an ideal activity. Shame about the Habs shirt though lol

Nice overview. Been aware of Necromunda for years as well. Might be a fun outlet for 40K miniatures without having to collect thousands of points worth :) Great board, btw. Also, if alternating activations piques your interest, can I recommend Heavy Gear Blitz? Dream Pod 9 released new rules in June. As well as alternating groups, players are also active and passive, so the passive player can react in certain ways to the active player (evading shots, shooting back, etc.) so rarely is anyone standing around doing nothing. Seems to be a really tight ruleset, I've been enjoying it. The old PC games were fun back in the day too :)

That's a really awesome talent you have and a cool hobby to invest in, time to make endless memories and go on countless adventures together with the family!

Big thumbs for the content quality and the insane table setup...but two massive thumbs up for your brother's Habs sleeveless shirt 😅

I'd love to see some necromunda battle reports from you guys. It is really incredible how the dice favor some characters in the gang.

I remember reading the rules of the original game in white dwarf, think it was called confrontation? And thinking to myself that this was the coolest game i had ever read about, the system/mechanics were so intricate and detailed and the gang campaign idea gave it an almost RPG aspect, it fired my imagination like no other game before. But at the time it was just a concept rather than a real thing so I never played it. I got out of the scene for a long time and completely forgot about it. I recently got back into miniatures gaming and was thrilled to discover that not only did GW publish those rules as a fully supported game, but it's still going strong after all these years!! Can't wait to play this with my boys when they get a bit older 😊

I love the 90s game but was hooked enough on the idea of alternating activations to invest in the rules. Damn though, after buying two expensive rule books I still don't have all the rules! Also - no Scavvies? I'm heading back to the 90s.

I've been toying with the idea of Necromunda for a while... You just sold me and I'd love to see you play some beginner games on this table with your wife... subbed.

My wife played a couple of games of Necromunda with me when she was on maternity leave! We played the older version from 1995 because she likes Ratskins and the newer version doesnt have rules for them. EDIT: forgot to mention, she enjoyed it

I had played a few games of it when it was first released, but didn't really get into it as 40k was my main thing. Now I'm a bit (!) older, I'd love to get a few Necromunda games under my belt, especially as I am so pumped by all of Eric's videos, but especially the underhive terrain. Also, come on Anna - I'm sure it'll be fun! I'd really like to see a battle report and will patreon-up if it comes to pass :) Oh - I also had to Google Edward Burtynsky, and I'm now a fan of his work too!

So true. Necromunda is awesome. we are often running campaign in Dublin with our local group. and we love it. You have a great table. Great stuff

This is awesome! Where did you get this gorgeus battle mat?

Awesome video, learned allot about the game..I'm not a gamer, but I like the necromunda world.. making the cars and buildings.. thanks mate.. 🤘

Isn't Anna working on her own mini right now XD Great vid though, I really want to play with my partner too and may be getting closer to getting her to finally give it a go!

Under the Campaign System section you noted naming your characters. When I use to play I had a character called Hagen. Hit his shots and developed into a great stat to play. But with it meant my friends always went after him. So I'd use this to my benefit in placing my figures!

You pushed me to pull out from pile of gray my Necromunda starter and reminded me that I have quiet bog collection of Mechanicus terrain :D Btw. First thing that came through my mind after realizing all above and before you told about gaming with wife was to use Necromunda as teaser for my own better half as she liked look of Esher and Delaqe gangs. I hope both of us succede in pulling our wives into playing ^^

Never gave it a chance. You’re making it sound enticing- I never knew the movement aspect in particular. Have to try it; thanks 🙏🏻 EDIT: MRS WIFE; give this a try; you’ll be surprised. I thought my brother just had a boyish hobby as a child and I played it once and was hooked. You’ll most likely love it if you enjoy games of any kind. And congrats on the baby!

Playing on Eric’s terrain is a privilege only a few get to experience in a lifetime with 80k+ lining up for the chance. Anna, it’s time to take this once in a lifetime opportunity ;-) Congrats on the baby too!

Hi Eric! I keep miss u livestreams 😭 make me a sad… but I a happy u do this video so I can sees u 😊🐶

Another game I need to try now! Great video introducing Necromunda in an accessible way to more people!

I’m from Montreal and I really like your brother showing support to my favorite hockey team :)

Congratulations man! All the best wishes for your family!

Hey man, you excited about ash wastes? I was thinking about your desert fortress build!

I saw some Nomads War Party in a video and really liked their theme. So I went to the games workshop page to take a look and everything looks so interesting. Every small faction all being human but all being so different and unique. That lead me to this amazing video and I think Necromunda will be the first tabletop I´ll try out. Thank you for your battlefield showcase, really inspiring.

Congrats and I'm sure once Anna realizes that by playing she can vent some of that very real pregnancy frustration (especially if she's getting close to her due date) out on your Gangers, she'll be super on board to try ! Absolutely unrelated: your brother's Habs shirt is amazing 🏒🥅
