I went first, so he decided to keep most things in reserve, except a tyrant and some gaunts... rest deep striking/outflanking. By the end of the game, he had a unit of warriors left, and a squad of gaunts in a corner. I had lost a heavy bolter off a land speeder typhoon... and thats it. Not one model lost.

I also once played against a tau player in an 1850 point tournament with my 3 raider GK list. I tabled him, while losing not a single model (not even a damaged result on a raider). first turn barrage of lascannons killed all his broadsides, and he had no other anti-tank.

When playing with my terrain I granted a special benefit for winning the battle or accomplishing something of merit in the game. The player got to graffiti a piece of my terrain with a pen. This led to some interesting taunting and established animosity between gangs and even individual characters within a gang. The guy who originally lured me to Necromunda was my regular opponent and had the habit of just butchering me for my first few games. His graffiti was especially nasty. When he killed one of my young braves if left a tag on a building that read “I put down Dog Meat right here” with an arrow point to the location where if capped my guy while he was clutching a gut shot wound.

My shaman had the power of curse dance. What that meant was if my shaman spent his whole turn dancing around instead of doing anything else my opponent would automatically lose all the initiative tests that he would take that turn. I originally didn’t see the point of such an ability and reasoned that my shaman would be better utilized in the direct conflict. But in later games I saw the upside to such talent. Whenever a model was hit with a ballistic weapon they were pinned and could recover if they had a buddy next to them. If the model was pinned within an inch of an edge to a building or other elevated position they had to pass initiative test or fall off it.

The next game my shaman sat behind my gang and danced away. My opponents guys where placed along building and catwalks and every time I hit one of his guys with a musket round he would plummet to the ground - I had a bunch of his guys crawling around the floor level down with serous injuries while I continued to pump ammo at them.

The next time I played the guy he seemed eager to face my ratskins again. He apparently had a foolproof method of defeating me and my dancing shaman. His gang went out and all purchased support cables that he used to hook his gangers to the building. The way the rope work is that instead of falling you just hung off the side until you passed a strength test and pulled yourself up.

I gun each of them off their perch but instead of falling they just swung around on their wire. So his army is swinging around while the rest of my army save my shaman and Dog Meat II plug gunfire into the piñatas. Most of his guys were downed at this time so they just hung there bleeding while I continued to gain experience for each wound I inflicted on them. Dog Meat II instead of joining in with the other guys was sprinting over to their building to avenge Dog Meat I. He ran to each anchor point and cut the wire sending the hanging meat bags to their demise. My graffiti at the bottom level was something along the lines of, “Today at this location the carrion eaters feasted like never before”. Nothing is sweeter then than avenging a fallen comrade - I really miss Necromunda, one of these days I will try to get a bunch of people playing again. But paying 25 dollars for a gang is such a huge price commitment to request from a wargamer.
