NECROMUNDA 1995: Building a gang in 1st Edition - History of Necromunda 02
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2021
- Retromunda! Continuing our Necromunda history series, we've hit the big one - the original release of Necromunda from 1995. In this, I take at look at the boxed set contents and then build The Springsteens again, using the original rules.

So glad this channel exists! We need more channels that tackle the history of the games not just the lore!
100% agree!
I'm with you on that one. I watch codex complaint and a playlist called retrohammer for they history behind the games. this channel is takes the cake though.
Yessss! so am i!!! Great channel indeed!
Bad idea to give to kids? It was a bad idea to give to GW staff! A unrelated fact is 4 wippy sticks and some rubber bands make a really powerful bow. In fact so powerful it can fire a wippy stick through at least one box of 40k 3rd ed. Never understood why they were banned from stores in the mid 00’s :)
Strange, I remember getting into 40k around 2012 and the fabled Whippy Sticks were still very much in use. I even knocked over one of the store's Dreadnoughts and while no one minded I still wanted to crawl into a cave and wallow in my embarrassment for the rest of my days.
Nevertheless I'm glad that the menace of the Whippy Sticks can fade into obscurity as our wounds heal and scars fade....
You should make a tutorial on making this whippy stick bow. I'd watch it
I still maintain that this was the best thing GW released.
I lost track of how many more hours I spent making custom rules versus actually playing the game :)
One of the best single moments I've had in a wargame was in Necromunda: blasting someone with a shotgun at close range, knocking them back 2 inches… off the top of a building.
I was 14 years old, whole afternoons in the garage playing 4 at the same time. With its share of betrayals during the games. My game board placed on a table football, itself on a board where my father had put trolley wheels to move it. All those memories... My best years of games.
Getting levels gets harder the more experienced you are. Juves all start at the bottom, with every easy level-up in reach. While someone like the leader has tougher and meaner basic stats, but starts from a less easy position.
Juves would grow up and become gangers once they hit a certain number of levels. Then they can start working the gang territory plots and farming cash.
The big goal for the individual gangers was to reach the upper experience level intact. At that point they were renowned enough to settle down as bosses of an entire settlement, get noticed by the upper house hierarchy and get lifted out of the Underhive. Either way, in practice they leave the game.
Ah, the memories! I still have my Escher gang, the HellBitches, and my Ratskins. Sold all my other '95-00 era Necromunda stuff when I was poor though. Got back into it with the newest release. Love this little series.
It kinda feels like the Necromunda campaign system was GW learning from and improving upon the Blood Bowl campaign system, yet never implemented back into BB, lol.
Great game, great minis, great video, great channel. ❤️
My first wd was the one with the free necromunda mini #190, a few months later I had the game and it's been a heck of journey since
Dude I’ve been looking for videos on the history of the actual games for ages now, this is so cool! You should do a history of 40k!
The shooting gangs (Van Saar and Orlock) were the most prevalent as the shooting and techno skills were most useful. Of course there where wonky instances and you'd get a Juve that'll roll a "choose any skill" and get an Inventor or a ganger with Specialist. Many of the combat skills were either useless or very situational but my opponent quickly/painfully learned to avoid Bill and Ted, twin with a habit of arriving from vents and bushwacking isolated heavies/snipers by using Hurl Opponent to good effect.
Then my gang got half wiped out (we later learned my opponent doctored his sheet and had optimal skill/stats and weapons) but I played it out; the beauty of the campaign system (as you mentioned) usually had me choosing the scenario (Scavengers or Raids being preferable because credits) and getting the experience bonus, even with a loss. After several games I was back to a normal-sized gang but the survivors became absolute beasts, the real powerhouse being a Juve that ended up with 300some experience, a power fist, bolter, multiple attacks/skillls but still only Leadership 7.
Even in the grim darkness of the far future no one can pull off " double denim" 😁 great vid thanks for sharing 👍
I remember this release. I had gotten into 40K in late 1993.
Necromunda allowed a group of use to play together, it was far more accessible than 40K.
I probably still have a few Orlock models in my "must paint sometime" box. (havent painted in over 10 years)
Hope the algorithm pushes this one has hard as the last!
Love this video. A retro Necromunda campaign would be a great watch
This game was my 40k world for years. The sheer depth it had and that terrain was a marvel especially combined with the card ruins from the 40k 2nd Ed box.
This channel hit the ground running. Nice one!
Loved playing this when i was younger (more so than 40k). Recently got back into it by trying to get the missing gangs from ebay.
Played this a lot in the army, cheap to get into and easy to learn. loved it.
Ah lovely. Necromunda is such a fascinating setting. Loving the series!
Awesome content, keep it up! This is quickly becoming my favourite Warhammer related channel.
Scavvies were absolutely broken in this version of Necromunda. It was possible to see gangs of 30 to 40 Scavs running about, supported by Zombies. Rather than paying upkeep they just ate the least experienced or worst wounded member at the end of the game and bought a new one. Scavs also started with 0xp, so you'd almost always get to choose the missions you played early on, and would 'level up' really fast. Only downside was the book-keeping.
Never got tired of playing this game. It was a gem at its day and continues to shine even now... Gosh, where did I put these at home? I feel a need to start playing it again.
Necromunda was a lot of fun at the time and much easier to collect and play as a kid compared to 40k. You didn't need to buy a ton of models just to play the game and I really liked the RPG elements and getting to keep gang members that develop over time. We'd become attached to some of them and it'd be a big event if they got killed in battle or died from some other unfortunate event.
This and Warhammer Quest were the really good games as kids when you could get lost for hours in an adventure and you could get everything you needed to enjoy it for Christmas or a birthday where as 40k required a huge money investment.
Great video man - really enjoying your content! Thanks!
Ah man, this takes me back. Local game shop had terrain and some repainted models for each gang and on the weekend they let people ran games with their supplies.
This channel comes across as extremely polished, especially when it hasn't been around that long! Looking forward to plenty more content. PS: There's a typo in your Twitter link (fb), might want to fix that ;)
Oops, thanks! Fixed!
Another glorious video. Thank you
Greatest game GW has ever produced.
A true classic, I love a look back at the history of the hobby, and for me, this box was one of the most iconic from that era!
Ahhhh, seeing all those black and white pages (they have a certain smell too, very unlike todays glossy full colour tomes) and those terrain pieces immediately bought me back to my teen years. This was the first 40k type game I ever played. And still play it today with the latest incarnation. And still play van saar as well. These older games will always hold a special place in my heart of pure nostalgia. Thanks for this video man. Subbed for sure. 🤘🤘🤘
ahh, brings back such good memories.. I use the old ganger models as juves in the new one sort of works since they are smaller
Fantastic intro to the game and great pre and post game examples!
Maybe do one of all the starter boxes over the years. Love the videos. Such a walk down memory lane. Cheers
I'm really enjoying the Necromunda videos :)
Great stuff. Bringing back memories of playin' my Malcadon "Pred'tor Parker" and scaring Goliath gangs back in the day.
So many games played so many memories, thanks for the trip down memory lane
Ah, such nostalgia. I used to have this box.
Love this channel
Hey Ian! It's Paul from Sound and Image design, glad you are doing well for yourself. Love the content!
Top work on this channel dude! 10/10 presentation and delivery.
These are really cool videos. Really interesting to learn about all this history. It’s like a guided tour through some old archives.
Great video ! Necromuda was the one that got me into tabletop games. That box art was so goddamn cool that middle school me couldn't resist harassing my mom to get it for me.
Love the Springsteen inspired names! 😂
Awesome stuff. Glad I found your videos. I never played Necromunda but I'm totally fascinated by it.
Damn Ian! Another great video! :) So good in fact that I went and download and installed it for steam yesterday night. Very fun (and somewhat addictively annoying!) Cheers!
Great channel and great video. Can't wait for the outlanders episode, I have a Scavvy gang that have only just been painted after waiting 26 years. The "silent but deadly" gang.
Me and my brother had both the necromunda and the ork one you showed from the 90s, good memories :D
Great video, thanks for posting. Makes me want to dig out my old rulebook and metal gangs.
On the one hand, I really wished I grew up with these products.
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I'd spend my college fund on overpriced minis.
Another great video, Ian!
I bought this game when it came out and played it to death. Me and my brother had some very memorable games battling it out in the underhive.
I just want to listen to your outro music forever
The Goliath guy with the knife (2:12) looks a lot like the scout from Advanced Space Crusade/Tyranid Attack...
Oh man, I got an Escher box once upon a time, wish I could find them now, I think I've only got one of the models :'(
This video also reminds me why I loved Gorkamorka (levelling etc), hope GW refresh that one day too
I want to play Necromunda! Justified nostalgia rises!
Loving the vids! Not sure I get what's up with the h8 dice but I LOVE the song choice. Spotified ty!
I just love this
Damn I miss Necromunda. That was a game I mastered in my group.
I've still get 3 complete sets of the Necromunda terrain, plus one of the expansion terrain set.
Great channel. Really well articulated. More please :-) keep up the great work
I remember those wippy sticks, in fact I still have a couple of them that I use occasionally. Great video and channel, I just subbed 👍
Please finish this series!!!
I thought you said Jews instead Juves , imagine my confused face 😫😳😰
Great memories of playing this in 96
I enjoyed back then and when i wanted a set to play with my wife I couldn't find it anymore.
1995 Such a good year!!!
I admit only game of the era I played (in last few months on TTS) was gorkamorka, but I see what you mean, as someone who played gorkamorka and 2nd ed 40k I understand most of the rules. That is rather fun. Might try to talk few people in my area to play old necromunda
I have watched this short series a number of times, brought back some nice memories. I wondered what you and the others here thought of the new necromunda which I have seen called 4th edition?
4th edition… i suppose that's counting "confrontation" as 1st, this + outlanders as 2nd, and 3rd would be the specialist games version (that iirc only existed as a "living rulebook", though a small selection of new models was released for it too)?
fwiw, i quite like the new edition of necromunda. the rules can be a bit wonky (there are a lot of them!), and the situation with rulebooks/expansions/box sets is pointlessly confusing and expensive (afaik only one boxed version of the game included rules for building gangs… which was very limited in scope, and a lot of other odd bits were missing, e.g. certain status effects/conditions, how to use wyrd powers, and all the campaign rules). but the models look great, and the fluff for all the house gangs has been massively expanded upon.
I took the plunge and due to the mass of rules I have put the project on hold for the second half of this year and decided to finish several other projects... thank you so much for the reply... the books and figures are rather nice!
Ah I remember the whippy sticks, lethal!
What is odd to me is that I am sure that the boxart of the Necromunda 1st Edition box was around at least one to two years before the Game was released. I remember it from promotional flyers from GW that came with other boxes or from some pages in the White Dwarf. I may be wrong about that but I am pretty sure!
I by far perfered the old Necromunda, the way your gang leveled up you really ended up with some really unique and odd ball characters who where really memorable the new Necromunda really lost that aspect.
Totally agree, also the terrain can’t be beat
Excellent videos and an excellent channel, keep up the good work. It looks like you've put a lot of effort into your games room. How about a room tour video to show it off?
I really enjoy your retrospectives. Can you do a video on the origin and history of Terminators?
You should do a video about the in game lore of Necromunda!
In 91 Ere We Go introduced campaign style elements for a warband, years before Necromunda.
Love this series!
I'm finally going to get into Necromunda looking to run House Delaque
I played Necromunda right when it came out, played it quite a bit, actually. I liked the system but I HATED the models! The miniatures were very hit or miss back then, and you were just a likely to hate a new model as love it. I'm glad that's changed a lot. And yes, we whipped those plastic rulers around a LOT! I still remember the whishing sound and the pain of it!
I still have an unpainted Van Saar gang collecting dust.
Still have the Goliath Gang from that set :D
Gorkamorka was the same. My first gw boxed game. Good memories
Such a good game , Ioved my Delaques
The Springsteens! Love it!
I still have some of my first edition items. Sadly not the rule books or the models aside from a solitary orlock. I have the box 📦, the tokens and some bits from the outlander addon. At some point I will probably try and aquire the books for nostalgia sake.
Interestingly, gorka morka was supposed to be a expansion originally for necromunda, but it got changed to being orks to avoid harming sales of necromunda as it was so popular. How things might have been different. Looks though like we're getting a vehicle expansion coming this year though...
They're available free online. Take a look.
Really need to get my gangs sorted out, so many projects and so much ADHD.
And just like that, I’m a kid again and well in over my head figuring out a new Cawdor gang.
5:50 if you will forgive the correction: fleeing units in 2E 40K *do* flee towards cover and *not* towards the boards edge! Rules as written (1993 p.46): "A broken squad will remain where it is and 'hide' at the start of its next turn if it is in cover. If not in cover broken troops will immediately flee 2D6" towards the nearest cover away from any enemy models"
Let's be honest though, none of us ever actually played 2E 40K rules as written 🤣
Neat!
I liked this series...
I jumped into the Goliaths when I was 13.
I'd like to see a video about the changes to tyrranids, i coulda sworn they weren't always SC zerg
Gorkamorka deep dive video whennnnn
Would love to see an Inquisitor video down the line!
Woohoo! I get +1 WS!
Tunnels OP.
There was an upper human limit on attributes. If your ganger was already as strong as a Necromunda human can be, you got another attribute raised instead.
The skills are fun. They're a sort of proto-feats that lets the model take special actions or have more options in niche situations.
Good shit!
Man, I had exactly the same plastic bison you whipped. You know who made those?
I think I've a Bratt somewhere (no arms), now I'm wondering do I have any plastic Orlocks anywhere??? Loving your content, but it is definitely leaving me scratching my head wondering if I've still got those few figures laying about anywhere as I know have the sudden urge to paint some. Where's me Pyromancer I wonder, but wait . . . I just did some maths in me head real quick, wonder if I could find my 3rd ed redemptionists before you get there with a vid(again, I'm less than certain as to where they are . . . .).
Actually are they 3rd ed? I forget which edition we're on now? Anyhow they're the ones that were amongst the edition of Fanatic Games, before the Dark age of GW...
Have you had a chance to play Hired Gun yet? I think it does a pretty cool job of capturing the feeling of mucking about with the dregs of Imperial society.
