Necromunda Queen's Dome Turf Wars 3: Outbreak in Ornelius
- Thread starter Jacob Dryearth
- Start date
The downtime battle was a 5 player VS Arbitrator Purge! scenario. The legendary Karloth Valois and his zombie and scavvy hoard had been bottled up on the tunnels between two domes. The gangs worked together to purge the area, at first...
Participants:
Bright Reavers - Van Saar
Disciples of Gray - Chaos Helot Cult
Rainbooms - Escher
Slag Hounds - Orlock
Wrecking Crew - Golaith
Setup:
Here you can see how the tunnels lie between the two domes. Karloth was hiding in the middle of the tunnels... but the gangs didn't know this.
The battle took place at the intersection of two domes. The space between was Zone Mortalis and is unsurprisingly where Karloth Valois was hiding out.
A nice shot showing the dome wall. We counted the outer walls of the ZM tiles as going all the way up to the dome roofs so they blocked line of sight.
Deployment:
The leader of the Disciples of Gray and his newly acquired Ambot infiltrate deep into the wastes...
More Chaos Cult deployment, the sniper nest.
Deployment for the Slag Runners of House Orlock.
Deployment for the Rainbooms.
Deployment for the Wrecking Crew.
The Bright Reavers were late to the Purge.
To be continued...

The Rianbooms start it our right by fumigating a giant rat's nest, 4 of 4 exterminated!
A group of Scavvies is trying to restart a broken servo hauler, when the Slag Runners start raining shots into them.
The Bright Reavers arrive late to the party, and start assisting in the mayhem.
One shot, one kill from the Helot Cultist sniper. (actually it took several shots)
Rainbooms start kicking zombies in the head as they climb the ladder, then their leader jumps down and whips them to 2nd death.
A gigantic spider stalks the Slag Runners, this guy ended up getting taken out, but survived. The spider later survived a round of firing line retaliation and then tried to escape. It was cut down with an eagle eyed shot from the Orlock leader.

Overview of the scene on 1 half of the table.
After cutting through rats, and zombies, the Rainbooms encounters a band of scavvies, They end up taking most of the out, but the casualties force them to retreat.
Some scavvies meet the business end of the Disciples of Gray's Ambot's Grav Fist, as the first gang breaks into the tunnels.

The Slag Runners of House Orlock finish off the scavvies looting the servo-hauler.
...and their Cyber-mastiff is commanded to heel when it takes a threatening pose towards the recently arrived Bright Reavers of House Van Saar
The gangs somehow manage to not turn on each other for the time being, even with so many opportunistic targets!
The Wrecking Crew of House Orlock finally make it to the tunnels after being held up by scavvies, but the dead-eye shots from the Cultist sniper tower clear the way for them to advance. (this is my favorite shot of the whole bunch, something about the atmospheric effect)
Karloth is finally found. He shouts out, "you fools! I am trying to save you! This zombie plague is a new strain, and I cannot control them. Join me or you are all doomed!"
There is some discussion on whether he is telling the truth or not. The zombies protecting him or noticeably less aggressive and skilled. The gangs all come to the conclusion that he is lying and is actually trying to understand the nature of the newer more dangerous plague zombies besieging Queen's Dome in order to increase his power!
Disciple of Gray hive scum closing in on Karloth Valois.
...who retaliates by sicking his horde on them across a rickety bridge.
The Ambot continues hurting scavvies while the rest of the gangs converge on Karloth.
The Slag Runners make it to the tunnels in time to see the Ambot get pinned by scavvy gunfire... somehow.

Well it's never too late to finish a campaign log right? Here is the end of the Mid-campaign event featuring Karloth Valois from August 2019...
The Wrecking Crew faces off against Zombies and Feral dogs as they enter Karloth's lair.
The Rainboome finish off the Scavvies outside of the tunnels, but realize they have been slowed down in the process, with several fighters out, they decide to leave while they still can.
The battle between Karloth's Scavvie allies in the tunnels continue their 3-way shootout with the Disciple's Ambot and Slag Runners, a grav pulse slamming them and several barrels up into the ceiling and them down to the ground.
The Van Saar make it into Karloth's lair and prepare to attack from behind.
Karloth forges a hasty alliance with the Disciples of Gray and makes his escape... but in trying to manifest powers against the Van Saar hot on his heels he goes insane and begins attacking the hired guns of the Disciples!
And the Cultist heavy stubber takes him down with a well placed shot.
And just like that the battle ended. The vile cultists of The Disciples of Gray betrayed the other gangs by joining Karloth, and then attacked him after he turned on them, perhaps in confusion, perhaps with other motives... They claimed his bounty, a strange move for a chaotic cult, but one welcomed by Ortimox Podge the Guilder. The whole event is covered up and no report gets uphive... at least he believes so...

The second half of the campaign begins. The amount of battles has begun to taper off, but there are still some battle reports to come!
In the events we see weakened zombies (I have not repeated their rules here for brevity, stats are just lower). We also see some of the gangs deputized, and rules for Outlaws and Watchmen that I made for this campaign from the before times of the Gang War books.
According to my notes (this was 2.5 years ago) the Iron Eagles ambushed the Ashlanders on the banks of thier Sludge Sea turf..
I as Arbitrator had a Delaque agent make the Slag Runners an offer they couldn't refuse... The player had plans to switch to Delaque in the next campaign, and this was just a little narrative to bridge the gap and introduce some intrigue, threads to be picked up next season.
TRANSLATION: The Slag Runners will give the next territory they capture to the Delaque.

The Ashlanders narrative to sum up where they sit at the moment, as the campaign winds down (only 5 battles were fought in the second half, as opposed to 26 in the first). They make a big discovery...
TRANSLATION: They hired an Ambot.

And here it is the final battle of the campaign, a special one triggered by the Mushroom Kingdom Regular's secret subplot - "Breadcrumbs." A 4-way Archeo-Hunters scenario, MKR and Ashlanders VS. Factorum Ossa and Iron Eagles.
Battle Report
Yesterday's 4 player battle was the culmination of the Mushroom Kingdom Regular's subplots intersecting with the mysterious pull felt by the Ashlander's witch, Watersinger. MKR and the Ashlanders had allied to try to break into the Vault, while Factorem Ossa and the Iron Eagles made an alliance of convenience with no real goal other than to do some damage to the outlaws!
The battlefield overview:
The overwhelming firepower of the Van Saar and Ashlanders kept the other team pinned down most of the game. A burrowing Ambot-like Cyber Deamon popped up behind the Cawdor.

All of their shooting missed the monstrosity, including the twin linked heavy stubber carried by Mike & Ike, at under 10' away. Luckily Vargus and Snood were able to emerge from the tunnels behind the beast, and with a little help from a well placed Orlock bolter round, Vargus killed the cyberdeamon in hand-to-hand combat. He is taking a new title, Deamonslayer!
The Mining Automata stands silent in powered-down mode.
Iron Eagle heavy bolter fire puts up stiff resistance against the Ashlander + MKR alliance.
The vault raiders take positions
The full force of Factorum Ossa can do little but pin the Servi-taurus Deamon engine!
Watersinger roasts an Orlock who gets too close
Vargus the Purifier faces down the hellish abomination of metal and flesh, and in the process becomes a legend on House Cawdor, now Vargus the Deamonslayer!
Meanwhile The Mushroom Kingdom Regulars had managed to control the mining automata long enough to smash open the vault and they started piling into it along with some Ashlanders. Most of those who entered the vault were quickly rounded up by Van Saar agents and thrown in a cell. But in the confusion, the MKR leader managed to slip away to investigate further…
Player Responses:
And with that Queen's Dome Turf Wars 3 came to an end. It was a real blast with everyone forging their own narrative, some more than others, but that's OK. Those that participated the most helped to shape the next installment of the Queen's Dome saga.
Here are the triumphs for the Queen's Dome Turf Wars 3 campaign:
Dominator (most territories): Iron Eagles
Slaughterer (most OaA caused): Iron Eagles
Creditor (most wealth): The Pride of the 4-Armed Hive Killer
Warmonger (most battles): Factorem Ossa
Powerbroker (most rep): Iron Eagles
THE STORY CONTINUES IN QUEEN'S DOME TURF WARS 4: THE PROLOGUE - JAILBREAK

As requested by Petitioner's City, here are the secret subplots each of the gangs (besides mine, as Arbitrator I didn't want to give myself any advantages).
Ashlanders
New Blood
As an outsider to the Hive, you will need to find your bearings in this so-called “Queen’s Dome.” A local guide could prove invaluable as you search for what you came for, stable genes. If you could convince one of the locals to help supply you with young folk it will drastically speed up your mission.
Any of your fighters may make the Bargain (Basic) action if within 4” of an enemy fighter. If your fighter can pass a Leadership test you may reveal this subplot and immediately pause the battle to negotiate a truce with that gang. The Ash Wanderers are looking for young folk with no mutations or rad sickness (so Van Saar aren’t a good source of Juves). This means that they must give you any Juves that are generated by their Settlement territories, these children will not become part of either player’s gangs, but will instead be smuggled out of the Underhive, and back you the Ash Wanderer’s tribe. Each Juve smuggled earns the Ashlanders 20 credits from their tribe.
What the Underhive gang gets in return from this may be any combination of the following: credits, equipment, territory, or prisoners. This should also decide the ownership of the territory being fought over at the moment, as any further fighting right now will void the agreement. If a deal can be reached, the battle ends immediately and whoever the players agree as the new owner of the territory at stake is counted as the winner. Any future battles against this gang will void the contract. If a deal cannot be reached, continue the battle as normal, and keep this subplot for use in another battle.
For example: the players could agree that the Ashlanders allow the other gang to gain the current territory being fought over as a down payment, and will also be paid 10 credits from the Ashlander’s payment for every Juve they provide.
For Malal
Watersinger is obsessed with achieving some greater purpose for Malal, and needs to get Malal’s attention in order to understand more clearly. You will be required to find a place of power and perform a ritual. At the start of each battle make a leadership test for Watersinger if she is in your starting crew. This represents her influencing the gang’s actions and directing them towards the place of power. If successful, place a token (the size of a 25mm base) anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 12” away from Watersinger. It would make perfect sense to count this as a Cult Ritual Chamber from the Badzone Delta-7 rules. During the battle, she may perform the following action, which counts as a Psyker Power:
Call out to the Void (Basic) - Continuous Effect: The psyker beseeches the powers of chaos, specifically Malal the Lord of Ash, for guidance. If they are able to maintain this power during the next round as well, the ritual is complete.
If successful you now know what you must do… Watersinger immediately gains 2D3 XP.
Iron Eagles
Show of Force
Sometimes winning isn’t enough, and to really drive home the dominance of a House, its enemies need to be utterly crushed. At the end of a game, if there are at least 5 enemy fighters Out of Action (not counting those that have fled the battlefield), reveal this subplot to gain D3+1 Reputation for your gang. This bonus Rep can only be achieved once.
Mushroom Kingdom Regulars
Making a Statement
(See rulebook entry)
Following Breadcrumbs
The trail has turned cold, the Van Saar team you were sent to locate clearly entered the Vault, then House agents took over and no one was allowed in. Van Saar are now taking sides in an internal shadow war that the House can’t allow to spill over into Hive City. If you could orchestrate a raid on the Vault, and slip in unnoticed you may be able to locate Tuatha De Danaan.
You may arrange a multiplayer side battle during the Takeover Phase at a location of your choosing. You must participate in the battle. Per normal side battles, no territories will be gained or lost. It will be the Archeo Hunters scenario, with the modifications noted in the campaign event document, as well as the reward change mentioned below. Make sure to inform participants that trying to raid the Vault will put them in the crosshairs of certain Van Saar sub-factions, and they have a serious risk of capture! Feel free to form alliances before or during the game to make sure you get at least 1 fighter into the Vault.
Your goal is to get at least 1 fighter into the Vault, while also ensuring that the other gangs have more combined fighters than you in the Vault at the end of the battle so that you don’t draw attention.
Rewards: Any fighters that enter the vault must make an initiative test. If successful they escape with the listed reward as normal. If they fail they do not return, and are captured by Van Saar Agents. The Mushroom Kingdom Regulars may nominate 1 fighter in the Vault to ignore this rule and reap no reward. This fighter is pursuing other goals…
Rainbooms
Rumor Mill
As if this outbreak of walking dead weren’t enough, muties and wyrds have been cropping up like rubber moss. But with the Guilders so preoccupied, nothing is being done about this new threat. As a post-battle action you may send a Champion or your Leader to spread tales of these interlopers. Inform your opponent of your intent, and if successful announce it in narrative fashion in the group. The chosen fighter makes a Leadership test with a +2 modifier if you encounter a psyker, or mutant (Genestealer Cult) in your most recent battle. You will automatically succeed if you have one of these freaks captive. If the test is successful, you have made the threat known. Gain +1 Reputation immediately. In the future you also gain an additional D6x10 credits each time you claim a bounty on a mutant or psyker. This lasts for the duration of the campaign.
Outsider Influence
Powerful forces are at work in the Underhive… they have a spy in the ranks of the Rainbooms, their Ammo Jack, Patches. Patches may be included in your starting crew in any battle if they can pass a leadership test in addition to your normal crew size.
Each battle you should randomly determine a member of the opposing gang’s starting crew. If… WIP (Note, this player had to leave the campaign and this was never worked out).

Deal With a Snake
You have struck a deal with an agent of House Delaque. In exchange for an archeotech item of great value, you must hand over half of your income from the Mine Workings (rounded in your favor) until such time as you can conquer and turn over one of the following territories: Drinking Hole, Needle Ways, Gambling Den, Archeotech Device, Synth Still, Narco Den, Tunnels.
The Pride of the 4-Armed Hive Killer
The Slow Invasion
In order to spread the Patriarch’s will to Hive Primus you must find suitable recipients for his blessing. If you capture any fighters, you must make sure that they get returned to their gang safely through clever negotiation, or in the case of a rescue attempt let them succeed. Whatever the case, do not let them suspect that their fighters have been injected with the Patriarch’s genes.
Each time you allow a captive to return to their gang you will gain 1d3+1 Reputation as they begin secretly spreading the word of this new and wondrous religion around the Underhive. Tell your opponent about the Reputation gain, and to indicate their fighter has gained a new ability called hardened. Do not tell them about the geneseed injection…
(tell them to record this information below)
Hardened: Having survived their ordeal with this strange and unknown cult, this fighter is a little braver after the ordeal, though they refuse to talk about what they saw. This fighter may now re-roll failed Cool tests. Their rating is unaffected, but notify the Arbitrator-who will give them the new skill in YakTribe.

I'm going to finish the Queen's Dome 4 campaign log as well, that one had secret agendas, and the story continues. And then there was the special Vault escape that took place between seasons 3 and 4...Thanks for this @Jacob Dryearth, will have a think on how I can apply it
