The current clan house alliances with noble houses (along with the house strength) are:

Escher Ulanti (chem trade)
Goliath Greim (military)
Orlock Ran Lo (bankers)
Van Saar Catallus (diplomacy)
Cawdor Ko'Iron (Ecclesiarchy ties)
Delaque Ty (creepy psykers, secrets + information)

As above so below. So I can see the struggle among the noble houses being mirrored among the gangs, with the noble houses hiring gangs to disrupt the activities of their enemies.

Delaque are also very closely linked with House Helmawr itself, which probably be relevant.

So is the necromunda gang going to visit other planets? We need spaceships for that.

All the Houses can make some sort of claim to being linked to House Helmawr and claim that their area of strength is vital to any ruler and to Necromunda as a whole.

Well, yes, but the others don't serve as the intelligence service of the House controlling the state. That puts Delaque into a very particular position if a change of regime is on the cards.

Yeah, the winning one.
Unless they do something very silly like make a play for top squid-man* themselves.


*because we all know what’s really going on there.

I'll be honest, that reference is almost before my time. I only know about it from my parents.

About my age, but I was more a Dynasty fan than a Dallas one. It's right up there with The Fonz jumping the actual shark.

I'm up for a Necromunda module. I guess it's like Necromunda Quest, but with rulers and templates. Not expecting anything fancy, but much better than the Book of Bikes.

It's part of the zeitgeist for anyone 35 or older I'd say .

Two factions per book? Master is very generous to Dobby.

The art they’ve shown looks amazing. Let’s hope FW actually gets round to making some minis. We’re still waiting for most of the guilds.

The power outage mention suggests maybe the guilds being responsible or being a target.

Of course it could also be as mundane as the promethium and electro guilds announcing that the fighting has led to higher inflation and prices due to a shortage of promethium or damage to existing infrastructure.

Where do people come up with these random outlandish ideas

Narrative campaign is interesting, provided they don’t blow up the planet!

Also, regular, free scenarios incoming!

I like the Awakened Ogryn, give the stupidest guy in the Underhive a mega brain and turn him into the Avatar of Khaine with Body of Flame

Being smart is not required to cast psychic power. Psykers use Willpower.

Ogryn, your Will energy is low. Do you have any potions or food? Watch that.

No, I was just pointing out perharp you were mistaken casting psychic power require Intelligence instead of Willpower. In fact this guy has the exact same stat as a servitor ogryn, indicate that these guys didn't have any significant change to their mental capability, and it is stated that having "lack of imagination" actually is an advantage to help them survive the warp.

I must say that the concept of a psyker Ogryn is just nuts (in a good way).

I'm somewhat of a Colbys connoisseur myself.

You just can't beat the UFO scene.

That was one of the neatest things I've seen all day.

Another raid scenario. Someone in GW really like to make endless amount of scenarios. Reiterating the same ideas: Settlement raid, Gang Raids, Manufactorum raid, desperate raid and now tech raid. Hunt for some archeotech. Sounds similar to archeo-hunters.

The scenario itself is broken in all the typical ways. Defender can simply voluntarily flee before the attacker has a chance to reach the objective. Requires an involuntarily failed bottle test, which is easy to trigger considering those rely on the starting crew size (which in turn wrecks a lot of scenarios, including this one if you want to stay for an honorable fight).

And another brute. On top of all the others. At least this one got some psychic powers to choose from, just stay away from the one that boosts an equipped ranged weapon (the awakened ogryn can't be equipped with ranged weapons).

A lot of fluff. No quality.

Sometimes fluff is enough...

Plus, Psychic Ogryn are cool.

And it is pretty well known that nothing they produce would satisfy Baxx anyway.

That's unfair. Newcromunda is a very sloppy game - the amount of time I see people asking "What books do I actually need?" on the Facebook groups is a testament to that - and Baxx is the one guy with the patience to go through and painstakingly catalogue all the issues of missing/incorrect rules.

Having a meaningful list of psychic powers that can be used by the awakened ogryn would go a long way. Didn't complain much about all the other outlaw brutes that were released in a free pdf a couple of years ago.
