Wait - the new Rapid Fire - Firepower... You roll to hit once, and all shots from Firepower dice depend on that roll? All or nothing?

Correct.

As I’ve not played, and am very much a tactile, experience based learner, can you still ‘stitch’ your shots across a group of enemies?

Yeah, any hits beyond the first can be transferred to other targets within 3" as long as they are in LOS and wouldn't have been any harder to hit.

Sounds a lot like the original Necromunda rules when the sustained fire dice first came in. Nice.

Make it up as the Robin Reliant Pattern of the Taurox.

Yes, but it is also limited. You can't get a number of extra hits more than the little number beside the rapid fire trait (so far, 1 extra hit), if I have been reading those rules correctly.

Rapid Fire (X), X is the number of firepower dice you roll. So an Orlock heavy stubber is Rapid Fire (2), roll two dice getting between 2 and 6 shots

You must be reading some other game, there's no rational way to come to this conclusion actually reading Necromunda

^what he said. The number is just the amount of firepower dice you roll...

I've tried to get an overview of the rules, it's not easy!

So far we have 3 sources:

-Rulebook
-Gangwar 1
-Legends pdf

Rulebook has different skills not available in Gangwar1. All 3 versions have different weapon stats from each other. They have different trait rules from each other. They all have traits and other content not described anywhere.

Also, I have a question about the Mighty Leap skill (Agility):

"The fighter can attempt to leap across gaps that are no wider than their Movement characteristic. If the gap is wider than half their Movement, apply a -1 modifier to the Initiative test."

Can anyone explain this? I don't get it. What makes this different (or better) than normal leap rules?

Has anyone heard if they are rereleasing the original figures? I want a bunch of Escher and a few juves from some other gangs

Doubt it. Unless there's a Made To Order sometime in the future.

The only "Wishlisting" I have is for a damned FAQ.

I suspect (and there's no evidence for it) that we won't see such a thing until the 6 House Gangs are all on the shelf again.

As I discovered going over all my old stuff, I have almost none of the original Goliaths (the Juves and Leaders, yes, 1 or 2 gangers) and I'm missing the original heavies for the Orlocks.

I'd like to get them. The original Orlock Heavy Bolter is a fantastic mini.

Was also a paradigm shifting sculpt. It was the reaction to the Orlock HB that lead directly to Devastators not carrying HW on their shoulders!

Do tell?

Was mentioned in an old WD if memory serves.

But Devastators used to look like this...

Then came this bloke...

Then her

Before we get to the now modern style of Space Marine Heavy Weapon.

That explains the odd look of the heavy bolter in Chaos gate then. I had entirely forgotten that's what they used to look like.

I am wondering if the Escher models and the new Elf bloodbowl female models are compatable - if so have some conversions in mind.

Nice summary there! I never got to buy the devastator set but had many of the missile launchers that was given as a free treat. Good thing they developed that design!

FW have produced a nice remake of the original designs though- I think they've done a really good job. Referred to as the Sol pattern for the Heavy bolter at least.

Are there any campaign missions using the Zone Mortalis tiles?

I looked in the rule book, and those missions does not seem compatible with the campaign of Gangwar 1.

Are there any easy adjustments to make them fit? What I'm missing are the rewards (XP, Reputation, Credits).

All the missions in Gang War can be played either way.

Ok, so the missions in the rulebook are garbage as well as it's skill lists, equipment lists and price costs.

When looking at the cards from the starter box, all cards seems to be compatible with the dumbed down demo version of Necromunda. It looks like the 2 House decks share the same compatibility.

What are the chance of seeing some proper new cards which is interacts with the Gang War 1 rules?

Missions in the rulebook aren't garbage. They're just more missions.

It's one of the things Necromunda always needed - more missions!

And the rules in the box aren't 'dumbed down'. They're the rules.
