    Necromunda Looking for base model for ash wastes VW campervan base model.

    Ok much as the title. I'm looking for a base model that is either a VW campervan or has potential to be styled as a VW campervan in an Ash wastes style vehicle. For necromunda ash wastes scale. My mate has styled his Van Saar gang on the colours of his real life VW camper. So I thought it'd be...

    What's on your mind?

    On a plus side educationally - we have found it a boon for my son who in addition to dyslexia has been diagnosed with poor working memory. He struggles holding complex instructions etc.. he has been able to use chatgpt not to answer the question but to break it down and give him a structure...

    Lore query orks and tyranids

    This is what I thought I'd heard. But since the only Ork rulebooks I have is Ere we Go and Freebooterz - I guess I'm a little out of date. Spores belong to Orks, it's taken me a few decades to finally accept that so I'll not let Tyranids steal that. Apparently 8th ed. Tyranid codex said 'gaunts...

    Lore query orks and tyranids

    Lore question here. Tyranids and orks how do infestations of either work. Been reading around and confused on current lore. Tyranid reproduction - do rippers /gaunts/ Genestealers reproduce asexually? Or at all? Do you need a hive queen or whatever to produce ALL troops or just the larger...

    Good point - it's supposed to be grimdark not grim-white

    What's on your mind?

    Ultrasonic cleaners... Why did no-one tell me about these earlier? So a bunch of my grey pile of shame/opportunity was stored under my hobby desk and got hit by January's flood. Grey& primed plastic covered in grim brown film of silt. In every nook and cranny. Anyway, got me a cheap...

    What's on your mind?

    Turns out I should probably just varnish the terrain. It's gained a weathered look my meagre painting skills could only hope to imitate 🤣.

    What's on your mind?

    Hit by floods today. Rescued pets and kids, valuables like computers and musical instruments etc.. as you do. Anyway when waters receded I realised the one thing stored at ground level not caught in the rush to save valuables was a chunk of wargaming stuff. All my Necromunda underhive cardstock...

    These are good if you want 3 of the warbands and happy to bitsbox the 4th. My experience however is you want 1(Sylvaneth), are at best maybe on a 2nd(Dwarves), already own a 3rd(Hexbanes). And have no interest in the 4th. At least its a way of keeping some of these sprues in Production...

    New models incoming

    I do like the Christmas models, though have yet to build last year's (Da Gobbo on Bounca). This one leaves me with a question - how easily can I split it to build on 3 separate bases? It'd be far more useful to me as 3 models.🤔. And maybe source some extra snowmen for an Xmas mini game...

    Necromunda The Sump: General hobby venting thread (Beware: old men shouting at clouds)

    Just to add many sets are still core elite troop choices so won't be going OOP anytime soon, you just may not get the KT packaged set. E.g. Marine scouts. Secondly they need to release a Tyranid KT and possibly chaos Daemon one or two. I can't believe these have been absent since the 2.0...

    Necromunda The Sump: General hobby venting thread (Beware: old men shouting at clouds)

    It has a big following locally. They are talking about rotating the warbands that are in a season for competitive tournament play. As I understand it, casual play you can keep using any warbands that have rules in the current version, which is quite a few. Ok maybe I'm just trying to justify...

    I I saw people griping about GW getting cheap. But actually I like this. If it means we get some cheaper starter sets and lower bar to entry that's great. Plus a few readymade walls is good for quick coffee table setup.

    Necromunda The Sump: General hobby venting thread (Beware: old men shouting at clouds)

    Besides LGS pickup groups it can also a problem for games which have annual points issued centrally. There seems to a movement to not put unit costs on cards/books and list them online. Happened in Xwing 2.0 and I believe GW is heading that way with some games. So yes you have a ruleset but...

    Necromunda The Sump: General hobby venting thread (Beware: old men shouting at clouds)

    I agree and yet can't get people to play old games where I can even provide both rules and mini's. In my case SW:A & Epic. Partly my gaming group are on the next hot thing (currently AoS Spearhead) and partly they want their own minis to build/create their own units - which I understand. But...

    What do you like to see at gaming events?

    I like this. One of the clubs near me has the occasional Saturday event and they do a second hand stall. Personally I like the opportunity to sell old stuff without fighting the stupidity of certain aspects of FB & eBay. But needs a certain footfall to make it worthwhile.

    N18 New Rules Incoming

    Massive wrong guess. It follows Ash waste more closely. I think people assumed Genestealers can't get out of Secundus so it doesn't fit main game. But they've just restricted the main Malstrain Gang to Secundus.
