Hi folks, I wanted to take a moment to share a project that has grown quite a bit within the Necromunda community over the last year: Munda Manager https://www.mundamanager.com Munda Manager is a new gang list builder and campaign management tool for Necromunda that runs in a browser and also works as an app on your phone. Many players will be familiar with YakTribe, which has served the community extremely well over the years. Munda Manager started with a similar goal, but with a focus on being developed by a team rather than a single person, staying community driven (if you're a dev and want to join in, let me know!), covering all Necromunda content, and allowing as much customisation as possible. Munda Manager currently supports all gangs and all campaigns, including content from Apocrypha and recent books published by GW. At the same time, Munda Manager allows arbitrators and players to layer in house rules and homebrew content without feeling restricted by the system. In under a year, Munda Manager has grown to over 16,000 users and is now being used worldwide, from small local Warhammer stores to events like Corius Con. The project is open source, actively maintained, and updated very frequently as new books and FAQs are released. Some of the core features include: - Full gang builder for all official Necromunda gangs and their variants (Genestealer-infested, Chaos-corrupted, Crusading gangs, etc.) - Campaign management with custom allegiances or factions, territories, and resources, with the ability to write your campaign pack directly into Munda Manager and add your images - Fighter progression tracking (XP, advancements, injuries) with detailed logs - Vehicle support, including lasting damage - Equipment, skills, Trading Post access, special rules, hangers-on, hired guns and alliances - Mobile-friendly for use during games, with the option to print your gang sheet when needed Munda Manager is very comprehensive in how it supports Necromunda. There is also an active Discord with over 2,000 Necromunda players, where rules questions, painting progress pictures, and feature feedback are discussed. Support is done on the Discord and users can open a ticket for their issues. What I would really value is feedback from the Bolter and Chainsword Necromunda community as some of you have been playing Necromunda for quite a long time and are very experienced in running gangs and campaigns. If you have the time, I would love to hear: - What pain points you still hit when running a Necromunda campaign? - What new features you would like to see? Thanks for reading, and happy to answer any questions! Cheers!

Got my first test mini for my Van Saar gang painted up: Now that he is done I can get working on the other nine. List is generally something like this: 4x gangers with Lasguns 2x gangers with Pistols (Plas and Las) 2x gangers with Plasmaguns 1x ganger with Rad Cannon 1x ganger with Las-shotgun Any of the pistolers/plasmagunners could double as leaders; and the Rad Cannon and shotgun were included because they are just so cool. I am also magnetizing the shield so any of the special weapons can use it. I have a converted Admech/cawdor gang next in the schute, as well as several xenos bounty-hunters I am collecting from a few different miniatures lines. The first one I painted up right before the Van Saar ganger: He is a Skywing Infiltrator from Reaper minis. Love his little gloves and jetpack Hope you like my start!

WarCom Article. Necromunda really is on a roll again.

Don't call it a comeback.

Well, it has been a long time since I've been here. I can't remember exactly the last time when I was regularly participating here - probably not since at least 2017 at the height of all the Heresy stuff. I've remained fairly active in wargaming over the last couple years although entirely outside of the Games Workshop stable. I created a grimdark, low-fantasy medieval warband for use in other wargames and have had a great amount of fun filling out their own lore and theme, and ever since doing that I found creating my own universe so much fun I stayed there for a while. I've been tempted back into sci-fi by various things - Dune 2021 was a big encouragement, as was rediscovering old favourites like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, the Culture series by Iain M. Banks, the Altered Carbon series by Richard Morgan, and last but not least, the art drawn by Craig Mullins (shown below) whose concept art and sketches have been an influence since I was a kid. A few days ago I had the idea to pull some of the sci-fi themes floating around in my head into a cohesive project which could fit into a multitude of universes - intentionally light on the fluff side of things, but unique enough that it's still fun to make. So, last night, after discussing Necromunda with some friends, inspiration struck and I made a mercenary/outlaw type who looks like he's been spending too much time in the Ash Wastes of some far distant backwater planet. Perfectly suitable for Necromunda, Kill Team, or even 40k (if I ever pick it up again - 9th edition seems a bit of a shopping trolley ruleswise). And from what I hear, the Ash Waste Nomads are hotly rumoured to be the next release for Necromunda, so it seems the perfect time to go and visit the hive world to end all hive worlds! Here are some examples of Craig's artwork, which specifically motivated me to get kitbashing for this project. http://i.imgur.com/z32jlG6.jpg http://i.imgur.com/tZCULNk.jpg And here's the man himself - the first of many rangers of the Ash Wastes: http://i.imgur.com/fliqETZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/DZ7qq4I.jpg http://i.imgur.com/0PQ71qJ.jpg That rifle took about an hour to assemble - here's a pic taken before I straightened out some of the parts: http://i.imgur.com/UgShBy6.jpg Thanks for reading! Nice to be active on the B&C again and hopefully I'll remain keen enough on this project to see it through to something approaching completion.

Have some tentacles with your tendrils.

WarCom Article. Newcromunda continues with a second variant on Haera Helmawr, this time in a Spyrer Suit. Possible chance we see Tamino in the near future?

Scenario FAQs The new scenario is always welcome but the 16 page pdf with FAQs and Errata is far more interesting. Anyway, the game needs more corrections and adjustments, but it's better this than nothing.

Warcom article here.

You might have seen some of my other threads on B&C, but to create some lore and backstory to draw them all together, here's the details of my Inquisitorial warband that I've started putting together. Right now, everything's been converted and mostly basecoated, and I'll expect to start painting them later this month. --- Inquisitor Lady Helena Darrock is an Amalathian in the service of the Ordo Hereticus. Whilst much of her investigative work is conducted under all manner of assumed identities (and wearing garb befitting them), she goes to battle in a suit of artificer power armour. A keen huntress, the right shoulder pad of Darrock's armour bears a trophy from one such expedition between investigations. The suit also incorporates a power fist and a sanctified brazier to ward away the darkness, both spiritual and literal. Darrock is accompanied by owl and wolf familiars, both psybernetically enhanced, amplifying her already potent psychic abilities. Darrock was dispatched to the Idris system to investigate rumours of an iconoclast cult. Initial contact with forces of the Archenemy were intermittent and minor, belying the vast conspiracy present in the subsector. In actuality, a number of planetary governors, PDF commanders, senior magi and the like had become tainted, consorting with the Ruinous Powers and working to achieve massive daemonic manifestations across the subsector - arguably a case better suited to colleagues in the Ordo Malleus. Realising the risk posed, and that her warband would only be able to delay but not prevent the incursions, Darrock summoned nearby Imperial forces. Her request for aid was first answered by the nearby Cantabrigian Preceptory of the Order of the Iron Veil, a mere week's warp jump away. Whilst fanatical in their devotion to Him On Terra, the Adepta Sororitas forces were overwhelmed by the sheer number of chaos cultists and (as the initial phases of the campaign wore on) minor daemons of Khorne. Pleas for assistance were sent out again and again, many astropaths burning themselves out in the desperate effort to penetrate the roiling currents of the warp, they having been swept into a great tumult by cultist activity. The full might of the Imperium arrived in the form of the Black Templars, and the awesome God-Machines of the Legio Defensor.

Hi all, First proper post So I was wondering what people thought about using these models to represent sisters and scions at a tournament. Would you play against them? I’ve tried to keep it WYSIWYG and be as simple as possible, and didn’t start the army thinking I’d want to try competitive or even really play the game, All feedback welcome and appreciated http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/gallery/album/17303-inquisition-army/ Haven’t quite worked out the adding pictures yet but have linked the gallery and each image has a description of what I would count it as using either the sister or scions datasheets

G'day fellow hobbyists, 2PlusEasy here. I'm a long time viewer of the Bolter & Chainsword and was a former contributor back in antiquity. Bolter & Chainsword has always been a great and inspiring hobby community. After a break from GW systems, I figured I'd start start fresh with a new hobby blog to get me back in touch with what got me into the hobby in the first place. A bit of an introduction about me and my history in the hobby: Now, I'll elaborate why I got out of 40k so that its out of the way: Why I'm getting back into Necromunda and other "niche" aspects of the 40k hobby, and what I like about it: What I don't like about Necromunda: So, now that's all out of the way, we can get to the meat of this topic: The Hobby! My local gaming group in Australia's tropical north use the the Terror-Australis Hive as its current setting. I intend to work within that setting. This is my (intended) hobby schedule for 2022 - 2023: Finish my Delaque Gang to a tabletop ready standard (completed) Continue work on my Slaaneshi Chaos Helot Cults Gang to a higher then tabletop standard (in progress.) Commence my Squats Gang who counts-as Orlocks (in progress) Commence my rival Ork Gang (counts-as Goliaths) to my Squats Commence my Outcast / Chaos Helot Cult gang based off the Corvus Cabal (not an original idea but it works really well) Commence my Cawdor Gang themed around Witchhunters, repentants and Crusaders (again, not an original idea but different enough from Cawdor's established identity as a house of poor, faithful souls) Anyways, thanks for stopping by. You're an inspiring community and I hope to contribute to it. Here's a picture of my semi-completed Delaque Gang for your perusal:

Ladies and Gentleman, Scummers of all ages, I would like to present the first B&C Sumpheap Scrap event. The task is simple, build and paint one (or more, if your up for it) piece of Necromunda scenery between March 1st and April 1st using any old bits of junk you have around the house. When the events ended all entries will be put up for public humiliation in a poll so one of us can take home the title of 'Best Shed Builder' and the rest of us can cry. That leaves you just under 2 weeks to source as much kitty litter and pringles tubes before we officially start. Rules are simple, no GW scenery, this is a challenge, a Sumpheap Scrap challenge!! Anything else from plastic I girders to fully working PC fans is fair game though. If anyone rises to the challenge, prepare your washing up liquid bottles and double sided sticky tape and get ready, oh and banners will be available nearer to the time. Signature banners: 300x100px 33x100px

Are you a Blood Angel?

They'll create quite the buzz. Ha. Ha,

Another Monday, another Necromunday. I don't have anything clever for this link. Wazzzuuupp?
