Lysimachus Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Are we including stuff inspired by Necromunda as well? Just been watching Killjoys and the sets for Westerly have, to my mind, a very Necromunda feel? High tech but run down, lots of neon, beggars and preachers on the streets, etc, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338324-general-necromunda-inspiration-thread-not-just-films-people/page/2/#findComment-4866805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Aiwass Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 No Mad Max? Er... [snip] While Mad Max clearly inspired GorkaMorka, the punks on the old movies have a great Munda feel to me. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338324-general-necromunda-inspiration-thread-not-just-films-people/page/2/#findComment-4866807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister Alessia Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 @Lysi Oooh I love Killjoys! One of my favourite shows at the moment, they need to hurry up with the next season! How about Ghost in the Shell? Original as well as the new one, both have that necro feel to my eyes.

Olis Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 It depends on how much inspiration you want to take from any particular film - anything cyberpunk/post-apocalyptic is a good start. General sci-fi is broad enough to find other ideas while staying near to the feel of the game. Anything else is probably going to be a case-by-case basis. But, for GitS, I'd imagine the Van Saars would be a good gang to foist that theme upon (though you could do it with Eschers and Orlocks, too).

Brother Aiwass Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 How about the Reavers from Firefly? ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338324-general-necromunda-inspiration-thread-not-just-films-people/page/2/#findComment-4867361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I don't see why not. They feel more like cult material but... meh. Inspiration for a gang would work. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338324-general-necromunda-inspiration-thread-not-just-films-people/page/2/#findComment-4867362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Aiwass Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I don't plan to do them, but I feel that a Reaver inspired scavvy gang may look cool in the tabletop, and fluffwise, they may be a khornate/slaaneshi cult and whatnot. And even if running away from the 80's feeling, it runs deep in the grim dark theme. All indeed in my humble opinion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338324-general-necromunda-inspiration-thread-not-just-films-people/page/2/#findComment-4867452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Instead of just films can we change this to a general insperation thread? I was going to make one a few days ago but it would probably kill this thread and/or clutter up the other games section with simmilar content. Oh and I have LOADS of stuff to share that may inspire you. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338324-general-necromunda-inspiration-thread-not-just-films-people/page/2/#findComment-4867846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Well... we could if Space Truckin agreed to it... but I'd rather he updated the OP and the thread title than myself, out of courtesy more than anything else.

Excessus Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I know these are post-Necromunda but films like Blade and Matrix are a good starting point for Delaque gangs. I don't know what originally inspired the gang's appearance but those films make me think Necromunda in places. Delaques are inspired by the bad guys in "City of lost children", are they not?

Corsovitt Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I found a lot of the spaghetti westerns and movies like The Wild Bunch inspirational to my own personal Necromunda world view back in the day, did a multiplayer scenario based upon the opening sequence in The Wild Bunch involving three gangs (one dressed in stolen Mordian Guard Uniforms who would be robbing the payroll), a group of bounty hunters/scum (who'd been hired by the Guilders to bring in the Wilde Bunch), the local garrison of corrupt PDF troopers and the local townsfolk/miners who would generally run about getting in the way of line of sight, etc. Any of the Tatooine sequences of the Original Star Wars movies - Mos Eisley/Jabba's barge/the Lars farm 'Holestead' with water 'vaporators. Other inspirations, The Matrix scenes outside of the Matrix, Mad Max. Can we mention TV Series? Well as already stated Killjoys has some good inspirations for Necromunda 'The Nine' a very specific class system, different strands of enforcement, various warlords and 'hackmods'. Blood drive so far has some great inspirational characters. Dark Matter is a little more Inquisimunda but again some great inspiration for house politics, mercenaries and gene mods.

Slave to Darkness Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 If were drifting into TV world... Grounders from The 100 and some stuff from a film called Doomsday. This is the best bit of the film I think Oh and dont forget Waterworld :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338324-general-necromunda-inspiration-thread-not-just-films-people/page/2/#findComment-4869111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsovitt Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I'd forgotten about Doomsday and Waterworld even though I have both movies sitting on a shelf nearby. The Purge movies especially Anarchy and Election Year are quite Inspirational for gang archetypes.

Corsovitt Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Whilst not being great movies there are several interesting archetypes a bratty girl gang dressed in prom dresses, hockey masks with friends dressed in various furry fetish costumes, a gang dressed as various American icons like uncle Sam, statue of liberty, etc and then the supremacist mercenaries who would be similar to the venator/cawdor gang type. Also the scenario would make for a good multi gang battle with some random crazy npc archetypes run by the GM, crazy pdf sniper, random civilian mobs purging for the God emperor and npc spryers coming downriver for the purge.

Slave to Darkness Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Actually the prom dress 'gang' is the only bit I remember. I might try watching them again later, I'm mind numbingly bored and they will distract me for a few hours.
