Fast forward a year and Inquistor is re-released in 28mm

One can hope!

Turns out the latest Errata has some updates other than the 2 latest House books (Escher & Goliath), but the new content text is not coloured like normal with blue or magenta.

For example Enforcers now have full access to Trading Post & Black Market like any other gang.

Goonhammer has a list of the unhighlited new entries:

Well I'm a bit confused that Goonhammer is saying that Bounty Hunters and Scummers get equipment for free, whereas the FAQ seems to be saying exactly the opposite of that - and that you have to pay more for a better equipped hunter.

There are many ways to hire. Some are hired for free, others are not. Some doesn't specify whether they are free or not. I think the article uses the case when hired for free, that the weapons are also free. The weapons are part of the 'hiring fee', and if the hiring fee is free, then so are the weapons/equipment.

Ok, that makes sense.

I can (just) see the case for hiring a bounty hunter with actual creds, since if you don't kill or capture someone they stick around. I can't see why someone would ever, ever hire Scum.

IMO Its another useless ruling on Bounty Hunters - wtf can they not just state what happens in a simple clear sentence.

Fast forward a year and Inquistor is re-released in 28mm

Shut your mouth. 28mm Inquisitor is an abomination. The 56mm figures were some the best miniatures GW has ever made. If they're going to restart the game, it has to be in 56mm. I'll also ask for them in pewter, but that's because I hate plastic as a medium.

Also some of the worst. Especially that badly posed “oh no I’ve tripped” Rogue Trader.

Other than that, I’d like it kept at 56mm.

54mm.

Being different scale than 40K is what killed Inquisitor super quick. Basically everyone who still plays it uses 28mm. And of course the current quality of GW's 28mm models is so high that they can compete with the original 54mm sculpts (and easily surpass the later 54mm sculpts.)

I would, and will, argue that what killed Inquisitor wasn’t the scale, but the models being metal, and in poses which didn’t easily allow conversion.

And the rules being neither Arthur nor Martha due to total lack of a point system, and the wider community not being quite ready for and RPG take on a TTGWG.

Both are relatively easily sorted, thankfully.

Metal =][= models weren't a problem. Lots of people back then (me included) weren't fully onboard with plastics. This was 20 years ago. Metal miniatures weren't seen as strange or bothersome for the most part, and they weren't more difficult to convert than 28mm minis. There were less options, but most people don't convert their stuff anyway, even back then, and anyone that was interested in this aspect of the hobby generally had the wherewithal to find stuff from the GW range to suit their needs. Anything monster-sized was fine, and that's a lot of stuff.

People just didn't particularly like the scale and weren't onboard with the RP style game, imo.

I don’t even know that it’s that people didn’t like the scale-the models looked cool. I think it was more practical. Who wants to invest the time, energy, and money to build a bunch of terrain for a scale that is useless for any other game available at the time.

which, unfortunately was GW's goal.

Last weeks tactics cards back in stock in the official webstore. Unfortunately the two direct only card packs not restocked.

All 562 cards are now freely available from the community.

Some of the Hive War cards are broken. The Objective "Escape the Dome" is automatically won by the attacker if combined with 5 (of 12) deployments (42%): Backstab, Backstab (Reinforcements), Free For All, Ambush and Home Turf.

On the other hand, if the attacker has 5 or less fighters available for the battle, combined with a deployment using reinforcements (forcing 3 fighters to arrive later), the defender automatically wins. This applies to 5 of 12 deployments.

Not impressed.

Inquisitor was written to make the excuse to make 52mm minis. Like all GW rules they were half baked and neither fish nor foul neither skirmish nor RPG. In another decade all 40K minis will be 52mm due to scale creep. ~_-

I sure hope not!

Cards also have size creep.

Is it me, or is the Jotun augmetic fists weapon profile missing from the House of Chains book? I can find their other weapons, but not the one they are equipped with by default..

Whoops. Wrong book lol. I meant House of Blades.

Had a read through the Hive War cards. Some nice ideas, but broken and abysmal quality with absurd inconsistencies.

Does anyone have a definitive list of all tactics cards and which sets they are from? I'm a bit confused at this point as to which sets I have.. and perhaps more importantly, which ones I am missing.

Underhive Wars release is today


Several gameplay videos

Thanks for the links.

Watched the second one- which should be called 'shooting with marshmallows.' Nothing like basic necromunda gangers soaking hits from a plasma gun and lascannon and still feeling fine.

as much as I like Necromunda, it makes for a terrible game when translated to a video game.

I bought the game on ps4 and just played through the first mission. I think it's a fun game, it's a step up from that mordheim turn based game as well. It's got some issues with bugs and the AI could be better. But it's pretty decent otherwise, i'd give it a 7 out of 10. With some issues fixed and the other 3 house gangs added it could become an 8-8.5 or so.

In regards to it taking a lot of shots to kill people, well the game is an abstraction. It's not a 1:1 copy of the tabletop or a simulator in that sense. You gotta remember it's a turn based strategy game. And being able to just 1 shot players and wipe people out that fast would make for poor gameplay. At that point it would be all about initiative and who gets to shoot first.

It shouldn't though. Turn-based, squad-based games have been around for decades. You could take X-Com and make it Necromunda and it would be damned entertaining.

Why they feel they have to reinvent the wheel with these sorts of games is beyond me.
