[TopsyKretts]

Awesome, thanks!

 

[TopsyKretts]

New version is up fixing some minor mistakes.

 

[irishwizz]

Oh, gotcha. Haha wow it's so obvious I forgot to add it! Thanks.

Thanks!

New version is up fixing some minor mistakes.

Lady Haera in Sthenian Hunting Rig's sthenian claws and medusian projectors are missing from the armoury. Kitbashed her so I've not got the card to help you reference the stats unfortunately.

 

[TopsyKretts]

Small update, added a missing skill set to Nomad specialist champ. Thanks to community for feedback.

Sorry to say I no longer can keep up the pase of new content. At least it will take some weeks or months to get the new book included. Got so much life keeping me busy. Best plan is perhaps to add small increments.

It's hard to keep on top of things. Don't push yourself too hard. I'm sure everyone here appreciates any an all time you can give.

Hello, I have spot a typo p97 of necrodamus :
Manifestation (Conduit) : 3. Saint's Grace

Target a friendly fighter within 3" and apply one of the
following:
● If Seriously Injured: Roll for recovery (as if with assistance).
● Otherwise: Heal 1 Wound and 1 Flesh Wound.

 

[TopsyKretts]

Thanks! I will fix the mistake, but won't be able to make a new release until the latest book is also fully added.

 

[Dan Hoffmann]

Short question. Where can I find this document?

TOPIC: Improved house ruled Necromunda.

The Necro-vox page used to link to Necrodamus, but it unfortunately got shut down, so now I don't have a way to share the link, other than PM'ing me directly.

If you want to check out Necrodamus, PM me!

NECRODAMUS
The original project started in 2017/2018 and is mainly focused on official rules (RAW). However it will deviate some from the official rules when the official rules are messy. For exact original wording, Necro-vox used to be the best source before it got shut down, so if you're into the exact wording, you have to look somewhere else now. Necrodamus sacrifices exact wording for a more compact experience with easier reference during the game. At the moment Necrodamus is maintained to stay fully up to date and complete.

The related cards are also available in yaktribe vault:

• Complete Trading Post Pdf
• Tactics (Deck of Doom)
• Sub-plots (side objectives)
• Open Hive War (generate scenario)
• Badzone Environments & Events (battlefield effects)
• Resources (Territories/Rackets)
• Special Characters (static fighters)

BOOKROMUNDA
The solution for me at the time when the official rules had the lowest quality was to rewrite the entire rules. This was to make it work instead of relying on more and more official rules making everything increasingly broken and unbalanced. However, this too proved to be a lot of work. So for the time being focus is shifted away from Bookromunda and it will unfortunately stay dormant for a while. However it will be easy to adapt most new official content on the fly to match the style and format of Bookromunda.

Main goals:

• Rebalance costs (most stuff is more expensive). Top tier weapons like boltgun, plasmagun, nade launcher got extra expensive. Some less valuable weapons like wyld bow and rad gun got a lower cost increase.
• Skills are reworked in an attempt to rebalance. Particularly Shooting skills are nerfed.
• Shooting (ranged attacks) are nerfed.
• Stats are nerfed (only leader start with BS 3+, no gang can start with WS/BS 2+. Fighters start with a single wound.

Gangs should be dirtier, cheaper, poorer. Struggle to survive, not to flourish!

Campaign is fixed:

• Income tax.
• Underdog bonus (XP & Giant killer)
• Gangs grow in strength by development (not earning large amount of money and buying already developed fighters)

Finally, if you find this useful, please consider giving it your stamp of approval with a thumbs up to this discussion post!PM

Hi Topsy, Goonhammer refers to a few unclear rules for the nomads in their latest article. Maybe worth mentioning in your update with the nomads?

[TopsyKretts]

Perfect, helped to clarify a few things. Updated Necrodamus now to include the latest book. Didn't spend too much time on it so please give feedback for any mistakes or unclear rules.

Have there been any other rules released since March 2025? When is next book due (Enforcers)?

Nothing new that I'm aware of, and Enforcers have only just been announced, so anywhen from "preorders open on Saturday" to "tail-end of August"

Hello

p.168 of Necrodamus : Power boost & Augmentation Levels :

POWER BOOST :
5-6 Hunting rig augmentation lacks details, I think, in the Book of Desolation (p.29) it's written as :

5-6 Hunting Rig Augmentation: The hunting rig improves the power supply to one of its systems and brings additional functions online. Pick one weapon or piece of Wargear carried by the Spyrer and increase its Augmentation level by one. If the new Augmentation would increase a characteristic beyond its maximum, increase the Augmentation level by an additional one.


AUGMENTATION LEVELS :
It seem the Yeld hunting rig is a copy of the Sovereign, in the Book of Desolation (p.134) it augmentation are :

Tier 1 Augmentation:

Increase the wearer’s Movement characteristic by 1".​

Tier 2 Augmentation:

Ranged attacks targeting the wearer suffer a -1 to hit modifier even if the wearer moved during their activation.​

 

[TopsyKretts]

Thanks! Will update sometime soon.

 

[HateFish]

Heads up, Topsy, Enforcers pre-orders announced, so we should be getting them pretty soon.

This is actually a stealth errata added to Desolation, an upgrade from the original version in Hive Secundus. Great job identifying it, I've added it to the list of changes in a separate discussion here: https://yaktribe.games/community/threads/collected-errors-typos-in-hive-secundus-n24.13860/

The other one is a copy-paste mistake. Necrodamus is now updated with both changes.

 

[TopsyKretts]

My plan was to get enforcers updated but unfortunately I have some family health issues that needs to be sorter first, so it will take weeks if not months.

In the meanwhile you can contribute here: https://yaktribe.games/community/th...s-typos-in-n25-bastions-of-law-enforcer.15077

 

[Mr. M]

Best of luck with your family, Topsy.
