House: ? (Not sure if they're going to be Orlock or Delaque yet)
Version:NCE
The lubrication of Mankfester was originally a monopoly ran by the Robing Sons Brewers. But they now have some competition from a newly formed guild of moonshine producers. Some say there's room for 2 businesses to flourish. But those in the know think its only time before this United group of artisans clash openly with the old Brewers.

11- @Fold

Spoiler: Roid Rage (all the way from Yakday 2017!)

House: Goliath

Version: Oldmunda

Gang info: Angel Falls bred Roid Rage. Forged in a dome split in two by the Great Quake, where an underhive sump river hurls itself over a jagged precipice into the toxic Sludge Sea and the wind howls through broken superstructure day and night. In the shadow of the Falls and along the Precipice lifts, only the hardest survive. Roid Rage grew up among collapsing gantries, rusted bulkheads and half looted vaults exposed by seismic violence. They drank in Silvertown’s dockside holes, fought in the smog choked ruins of the Edge, and learned early that anything not nailed down would eventually fall into the sludge. In Angel Falls, hesitation meant drowning - in toxin, in debt, or in blood.

They are Goliaths in the purest sense. Loud, direct, contemptuous of subtlety. War Bastard leads from the front, barking orders over the roar of industrial wind, revving chainsword teeth before the enemy has finished reloading. His lieutenants answer to names like Boiler, Meathook and Tank, and they favour the honest language of cleavers, chains and point blank fire. They close distance relentlessly, using cover only as a stepping stone to the next charge. Even their youngest prove patient in a brutal way - a juve willing to stalk through crossfire for an entire engagement just to place a single decisive blast.

They mock their enemies openly, laugh under fire, and treat survival as proof of superiority rather than luck.

When a recent quake tore open new tunnels beneath Angel Falls, Roid Rage were among the first to push into the exposed territory. Amid the gale force winds ripping through severed air intakes, they seized and fortified a newly revealed drinking den along the Precipice, converting it into the Windy Hole. Crude, deafening and perpetually blasted by cross currents, it is perfectly suited to its owners.

From there their ambitions have widened. Whether by sump barge across the Sludge Sea, by illicit passage through Stanchion Island’s outlaw trade routes, or by forcing a way up ancient maintenance shafts toward higher levels of Hive Primus, Roid Rage have now emerged in Mankfester dome. They arrive as products of Angel Falls - quake hardened, wind scoured, and entirely convinced that whatever territory they stand on is theirs by right of strength.

THUNDERCUBE! Champion Name: Liability Unit 404

Spoiler: Maximus Firepower

House: Van Saar
Version: old munda

Extremely unlucky adventurers with a bad habit of sending everyone to the THUNDERCUBE!

13 - @ClockworkOrange

Spoiler: Yaktribe

House: Orlock
Version: NCE
THUNDERCUBE: Mad Robot
Info:
In the shadowed underhive of Necromunda, where the hum of ancient machinery drowned out the screams of the dying, a gang known only as YakTribe prowled the sump-choked tunnels and scrap-heaps of Hive Primus.

They were no house loyalists, no gleaming Van Saar tech-priests or hulking Goliath brutes. They were something stranger: a motley warband forged from the outcasts, the forum-dwellers, the endless arguers and roster-tweakers who had once gathered in the flickering light of distant data-slates to debate rules, share paint schemes, and curse bad dice rolls. Somehow, in the grimdark sprawl of the hive, those digital ghosts had taken flesh! neither Human or Beast something stranger more bovine, scarred, augmented, and armed to the teeth.

14 - @radulykan

Spoiler: Copper Heads

House: Delaque

Version: NCE

gang info: Dallas Stoudenmire has heard that a clone of his arch nemesis, Captain Dangerous, is setting up in Mankfester. Honour and pride, but mostly spite have led to Dallas rounding up the boys and heading for Mankfester. Several times he has had to explain to his lads that the fact that his crush, the mighty Moira has been seen in town has absolutely nothing to do with it!

THUNDERCUBE! Champion Name: Dallas has secured ownership of the prior THUNDERCUBE! champion and general close combat blender ZAPAN!

16- @Edelweiss

Spoiler: Iron Widow

House: Esher
Version: NCE
gang info: Earning its name through unbreakable matriarchs clad in scavenged iron. Feared across the Underhive, they endure where others fall, killing with patience, and cold mechanical precision. Gang motto: 'Endure the bite. Deliver the venom.'
THUNDERCUBE! Champion Name: Rixa Chainfang

17- @Ardavion

Spoiler: Lord Buckethead's Brigade

House: Pit Slave
Version: Oldmunda (NCE)
gang info: Lord Buckethead has heard that there may be some contenders for the local by-election (no-one else in the hive knows what that is) and has decided to launch a grass-roots campaign to go around and encourage the local populace to support him with their vote (whatever that is), any financial aid they can provide (unlikely), and if anyone else standing (for "election", presumably) they will be made to be not standing (at all)...

Spoiler: WELCOME TO MANKFESTER!

*you buy a map from a ramshackle stall that has a sign saying Terrorist Information Centre*
View attachment 85727
*you instantly get buyers remorse but as you go to return it you are approached by an odd looking individual who claims to be a local guide*
"Welcome to Mankfester! It's the dome to be in if you want to embrace the seedy pumping heart of Hive sub-culture. The music is as varied as the gangs that come to sample a piece of the action. Some say it's the atmosphere and acoustics of the place. They help, but if you really want to know what keeps the madness ever turning try some of this..."
*With a well practiced flourish the local guide pulls out a huge selection of bottles and pills.*

*after several days of being unconscious, you really question what Dried Frog Pills actually are, and are really shocked to find your guide is still with you ....and you still have all your stuff!*
*you find yourself at the dome wall looking at a Sump Sludge Canal Gatehouse, your guide is typing an access code into a Servoskull Voxcaster*
++The canal found running through the dome is at the main convergence of many overflows from up hive+ Analysis confirms the divergence of fungi forms in the domes biome are likely caused by the wide variety of sources these overflows have+ More research into the locals wide use of these fungi In drug production is recommended for Hive wide distribution to counter the usage of the Orange Menace.++

*the toxic air from the canal quickly clears your head and you instruct your guide to take you to Mankfester City. As you head through the ruins and wild fungus groves you come across a dead body that you recognise as a servant of House Helmawr*
*you search the corpse and find a hand written diary, you only read a page before mutant maggots emerge from the books spine*
~~~While I have recorded several reports of unusual mobile fungal growths with predatory behaviour. I believe these are more to do with the jumpy drug addled minds of the locals seeing Millisaurs and Sump Rats than anything else. I will proceed to investigate the outflows the locals are weary of, next lights on.~~~

*you make it to the fortified walls of Mankfester City, your guide knows a good thing when he sees it and, for whatever reason, sticks by your side. Hungry, they take you to their favourite restaurant Gino d'Afungos*

*you are fiddling with your newly acquired Helmawr tech Pipboy 40,000 when a loud scav with a big head, that you assume by his outfit is the chef, comes to your table with a piping hot plate of Roast Beast. You ask him about the local cuisine but are distracted by the weird noises coming from a nearby pipe*
"Hell knows what comes out of that one over there but it's made some of the fungus sprout legs and vicious maws. Even the rats have had to sprout wings to keep safe from the evil little critters. That's where I get those tasty hive chicken wings your munching on. Just don't go too far into the wilds as they get BIG real quick."

Spoiler: Necromunda NCE:THE FUNGUS AMONG US

GANG CREATION
*1100 creds starting stash
*Usual ganger restrictions ie. 1 leader, 0-2 heavies, <50% juves.
*No house weapon restrictions, excluding outlanders.
*only hired guns taken during gang creation can be used. If they can no longer be afforded or are discarded. They must be placed in the ‘mercenary pool’ so other yaks may employ them.
*usual territory rules

SPECIAL EVENT
*the wild herds of squig, made free by the legendary Ratskin Hatchet Face, have made scavenging the delapadated fungus zones of Mankfester Dome especially Dangerous!
*Whenever a loot counter, in any scenario, is first picked up, roll a d6. On a roll of 1-2 a squig is encountered, placed in base contact and attacks the would be looter.
*squigs have the stats of a basic ganger armed with a double handed weapon.
*if a squig survives, they remain in play and gangs may attempt to control them at the beginning of their turn by passing an initiative test (similar to escaping pinning)
*active squigs belong to no player and both players may attempt to activate them.
*Anyone victim to a monster roll is attacked by a particularly sneaky/crafty squig. But the rules for the monster rolls remain exactly the same.
*squig attacks, squig kills and squig deaths must be recorded.

Mankfester City:

Greater Mankfester

 

[CaptainDangerous]

Greetings fellow Tribesmen and prospective yaks in waiting!
I had absolutely no intention on writing this today, but super yak @=][=SW1=][= inspired me into action, so LETS DO IT!!

My initial thoughts is that we should stick to the old formula of a hotel meeting room for a weekend, somewhere in greater Manchester, sometime in the next few months. It’s going to be a super informal community meetup, accommodating Necromunda both New and Old. With space for anything else wants to bring along?

Right now all I’m asking is initial interest, then if two or more of us can agree on a weekend, we’ll go from there!

@Greenthumb ‘s Delaque gang ‘The Highlife Commitee’ are the current top dogs of the Dome and @Resmire ‘s leader Zeus is the reigning arch bishop of the Cathedral. Do you have what it takes to take it from them? Are you mad for it?

 

[Stoof]

I am mad for it! (Dates depending)

 

[Biggle_Bear]

Ohhh yeah!

 

[Trafalgar Law]

Definitely interested.

 

[Tiny]

Yes!! I am in! Only weekend I can't do is 25-26 April.

 

[=][=SW1=][=]

Hmmm ... which gang can I shoehorn into a space cowboy themed Gang.

 

[Tiny]

Delaques are the obvious choices. The old Delaques have those cool dusters. My old gang, sadly now lost to the void, had greenstuff cowboy hats.

 

[Greenthumb]

I'll be there.

 

[Biggle_Bear]

I feel like orlocks suit cowboys better with their primary skills. Shooting and Ferocity matches rugged gunfighter, in my opinion.

 

[=][=SW1=][=]

Well I have several suitable spare heads from Deadmans Hand redux kit to use. Might see if the Scavengers or Crew bodies will combine nicely from Stargrave. Lol ... Just need to find a model of Jay from Jamiriquo

 

[Scavvierising]

Somewhere, sometime and somehow. Sounds like a plan,

 

[Stoof]

I'm not available 28th Feb-1st Mar, 4th-5th Apr or 11th-12th Apr.

Apart from those I should be able to sneak a weekend in somewhere, particularly mid-March.

Manchester-ish area is a mere 6 and a half hour drive! Practically local!

 

[Trafalgar Law]

The only weekend I'm definitely unavailable is the Easter weekend. I do work alternate Saturdays so the sooner we gave a firm date (so I can book time off or swap shifts etc) the better.

 

[CaptainDangerous]

Hey yaks, I’m back to the land of the living (cursed nightshift!), in rally happy with all the interest!!

I’ll be flinging some emails around to hotels this week and see what sticks, but prospectively, I’ll be aiming for the last weekend of March (28-29)

Or alternatively, I’ll attempt to thread the stoof/tiny needle in April for the third weekend (18-19)

I’ll be back when iv made some progress, but in the meantime, feel free to show off any potential minis you will be bringing along? Or tell us why your guys are desperate/crazy enough to be in the squig infested, dankest of domes?

 

[CaptainDangerous]

Somewhere, sometime and somehow. Sounds like a plan,

The Tribemeet way!
