Long shot here but does anyone have full pdfs of Necromunda Magazine? The individual articles that someone scanned have been knocking around for a while, but they are missing significant parts of the full magazine as listed in the white dwarf index*.

For a while there were only portions of some Citadel Journals uploaded and then there was a tidal wave of them in full form. I have pdfs of town cryer and various warmaster magazines, so it's crazy to me that these were never uploaded fully.

I think we have decided to steer clear of having them hosted here for IP reasons, as they are much more difficult to host than rulebooks because of all the photos and such (the rulebooks here tend to have a great deal of the IP protected material removed). I think...

Yeah that's understandable, I guess I was jsut looking to see if they existed digitally because I had not been able to find them anywhere.

Maybe someone will see this who has them in their personal collection and will send you a private message so you can get them under the veil of darkness or something ;)

(also if that person happened to include me in the message... well hey I like reading stuff and looking at pictures too :whistle:)
Ahem. Likewise. I own the first issue of NM, and the Gang Wars, but the other issues of the first run of NM? Well. Those would be welcome....
 
Also very interested, in case anyone stumbles on something useful, feel free to include me as well.
 
Sorry to raise a thread from its grave, but I didn't want to make a new one.

But if anyone is passing theses around , then please let me know! I've exhausted my search for the full versions of the gang war/necro magazines.

I know the rules themselves are in the compendiums but I love that pang of nostalgia from reading the old books.
 
To my knowledge, these magazines have never been officially issued as PDF (or through a full complete digital copy in any format).

What you would find is partial scans made by random players on forgotten corners of the web. Since scanning magazines is a very tedious and time consuming process, players have logically focused on rules sections and you won't find the other pages, while all the rules parts are easily found on several platforms.

If you are really interested (as I was), I think there is no way around getting the whole set through online auctions :

My own personal estimation is that it would take up to 100 hours to properly scan, photoedit and publish these magazines. With a risk of damaging some copies since stabled magazines are quite fragile. I wouldn't mind sharing these long out of stock and never to be published again material, so no harm IMO to the original publisher, but whetever my friendly feelings for the Tribe community, I just don't have the time to do it...
 
I just wanted to add they weren't scanned by randomers, but by the specialist games team themselves who uploaded all the articles onto their website
 
Is anyone still looking for these? I found some old partial pdfs.

I think I saw some extra hard copies the last time I went to feed the ...things, down in the basement.
The Gang War issues have been scanned and are ... around. The Necromunda Magazine issues are not universally scanned and available, however. So someone undertaking that effort would have ... many thanks.
 
So far, I have only tracked down a pdf copy online of Necromunda Magazine volume 2 issue 3, out of the full print run of that magazine. I need to scan in the one issue that I have as well (v1n1, with the Rapier). But these are still very much a community want, to be able to see anything other than pure rules as compiled in the Compilations.
