Necromunda game

Something a little different today. While my friend Howard was home to see his parents I was able to pop over for a couple of games.  Our second game of the evening was Necromunda, the old GW small unit skirmish game using a modified version of the 2nd edition WH40K rules.  Click on the photographs for a larger view.  I took lots, mainly to show off Howard's fantastic scenery!  Of particular note is the monument covered with tiny notices, all individually painted and glued on.

Scenery is a mixture of foamcore, GW Cities of Death bits, IMEX platformer, Hirst Arts (plaster moulded doors, lots of the crates, barrels etc.), Ramshackle Games (vehicles), Black Cat Bases (vending machines and other scatter scenery) and assorted bits of wire, old electronics parts, steel mesh, toilet ballcock and more...

Howard's army was the (better painted) Scavvies, mine were the outnumbered Cawdors.  The scenario: Scavengers (pp.154-155 of the hardback rulebook), 5 glass beads are scattered around the table representing loot that gangers can pick up...
 

Scavvies rush forward on multiple levels.

Cawdor gangers make their way up one of the towers.

More Scavvies, inluding a 3-armed mutant.

A fun game, although the Cawdors were hugely outnumbered the majority managed to survive, mainly thanks to very flukey die rolls!  We didn't play the game to its conclusion but I had 3 of the 5 loot counters and had taken down the Scavvy boss, a zombie or two - but there were still plenty out there!
