Leth was confused. Every tale he'd ever heard about hives, especially the underhive, made out that these places were supposed to be dark, cramped and full of danger. So far it seemed much nicer and brighter than the mines back home. Still, he thought to himself, we're not here for a sight seeing tour. They had tracked down one of the Malfian heriteks to the planet of Necromunda and the Inquisitor felt that they would most likely find him somewhere down near the sumps carrying on the foul experiments that led to the destruction of their mines.

So. Some friends invited me to join in their Necromunda campaign last week, so rather than start something completely new, I'm using the Van Saar rules to represent a unit of guard and miners deployed to Necromunda on a recon mission from my [url=http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/251332.page]main Guard force[/ur]. This means that a number of the models are already made, allowing more time to be spent on all my other ongoing projects. As I'm most likely going to have to keep on modifying the models, I plan on tracking the gang and model progress in the one blog.

To start with the gang looks something like this, though a little bit bigger :


The full starting lineup was:

Leth (squad leader - Knife/laspisol/Lasgun) - 66xp
Franko (Heavy - Heavy stubber/auto pistol/knife) - 63xp
Marko (Heavy - Lasgun/knife) - 63xp
Strap (squaddie - Lasgun/knife) - 22xp
Korran (squaddie - Lasgun/knife) - 21xp
Canes (squaddie - Lasgun/knife) - 26xp
Ford (squaddie - Lasgun/knife) - 23xp
Egon (Miner - Laspistol/knife) - 0xp
Harek (Miner - Laspistol/knife) - 0xp
Dod (Miner - Laspistol/knife) - 0xp
Swiper (Miner - Laspistol/knife) - 0xp
Wrak (Miner - Laspistol/knife) - 0xp

Territory : Holestead, Spore cave, Settlement, Vents, Guilder Contract
Stash : 60 credits
Gang rating :1224

The squaddies, Marko and Leth are all done for now and can be lifted straight from my Guard force. The miners and Marko need to be built properly, so these will be appearing here over the next week (hopefully), just in time for next week's game.

Last night was their first venture out into the underhive and they did very well considering. One tactical blunder and one close combat that was abysmal thanks to the fall of the dice (2 miners and a squaddie against a juve. My 2 miners died post battle and the squaddie failed to hit anything!). Teach me to try and charge with Van Saar. After one fight we're now looking like this :

Leth (squad leader - Knife/laspisol/Lasgun/power sword - Inventor) - 91xp
Franko (Heavy - Heavy stubber/auto pistol/knife - +1BS) - 84xp
Marko (Heavy - Lasgun/knife) - 78xp
Strap (squaddie - Lasgun/knife - Iron Jaw) - 39xp
Korran (squaddie - Lasgun/knife - +1T) - 32xp
Canes (squaddie - Lasgun/knife - +1S, +1BS) - 42xp
Ford (squaddie - Lasgun/knife - Weaponsmith) - 35xp
Egon (Miner - Laspistol/knife/flak armour - +1WS, Medic) - 15xp
Harek (Miner - Laspistol/knife) - DEAD
Dod (Miner - Laspistol/knife) - DEAD
Swiper (Miner - Laspistol/knife - +1A) - 8xp
Wrak (Miner - Laspistol/knife - Inventor) - 10xp


Territory : Holestead, Spore cave, Settlement, Vents, Guilder Contract
Stash : 110 credits, 2 laspistols
Gang Rating : 1294

So, I'm now down to 10 members of the team and it seems like I need to redo Leth anyway as he's now got a power sword. I also need to decide if I want two more miners (juves)

I like them nice paint scheme very urban it looks good.

You may have to rebase them though if there going to be in a city.
