Are there rules or 'ports' out there for Ork gangs in Necromunda? If not, what rules would make the most sense? Scavvies? Goliaths? 

Thanks in advance!

There are Ork rules in Gang War... lemme check... Gang War 2. Very hard to find that issue.

BYE

I don't play Necromunda myself (altough I want to), but to me it would make sense if you just use Goliath rules

Why Anung? Orks are better than Goliaths in terms of strength and resilience, have a completely different social structure (that would make up their between game rules), and how would you model the change from Juve to Ganger? Gretchin do not turn into Orks.

All Goliaths have is more access to muscle skills than other gangs. Orks they are not!

Ork rules are best represented with Ork rules.

BYE

but as you said before the rules are hard to find. I don't know the Necromunda Rules for Orcs. actually I don't know any Necromunda Rules at all. that was just a thought. they looked big and brutal, so I thought, if I ever get to play Necromunda I use Orcs as Goliath. before this threat started I never heard anything about Orc Rules for this system.
here in Germany we have even less Fanatic Support than you

I didn't think it possible to have less than nothing.

BYE

The gang war stuff isn't online somewhere, is it? I checked Fanatic but came up dry...

I'll see if I can summarize them for you tonight.

BYE

Much obliged, HBMC. I'll take another spin around Ebay as well...

Hmm... can't seem to find the issue. Don't worry, I have all 6 Gang War issues (and that wasn't easy tracking them down). We're doing a big Necromunda campaign this long weekend, so I'll be moving stuff around and no doubt going through all my issues of NecroMag in the process, so it'll turn up.

BYE

I believe I also may have that copy of GW2. I know where I keep them and, if I have it (almost positive I do), I'll post it here for you all.

Okay this will be quite a long reply as the rules are extensive. I've also shortened it (only to include pertinent info, no fluff), gotten rid of some gear (Grots shouldn't have access to Armour!), and added the Ork weapons. Enjoy!


Orks In Da Underhive

• Outlanders
• Territory: Orks start with one piece and generate per the Outlaw territory chart
• Income: Orks do not get income from territory. instead they gain d3 "teef" for each Ork (not Grots) in the gang. Each Ork who suffered a serious injury gives an additional d3 teef. Also, each member who did not go out of action may scavenge for food, finding d6 per scavenger.
• Starvation: Each Ork and Grot must eat three items of food or suffer starvation.
• Experience: As all others
• Trading: NEVER!
• Hiring: 1000 teef to begin initial recruitment
• Recruitment: If an Ork player wishes to hire new fighters, must send one Ork out into the wastes to search. He may send a Grot but then may only hire Grots

Recruitment Table (d6)

1: No one found. Whilst walking back, the scout suffers a serious injury.
2: One Grot
3: One Ork Boy
4: One Ork Boy or Eavy
5-6: D3 Gorts, Boyz, or Eavyz

• Pinning: Orks cannot be pinned
• Injuries: Per regeneration spores, they may ignore serious injuries on a D6 roll of 6
• Bottle test: Orks do not take tests for Grots going out of action. Orks going out of action are treated normally.
• Leadership: Per normal however Grots never lead gangs. If all Orks are killed, then the Grot become a Grot gang and generate 1 teef each and may only recruit more Grots
• Captives: Never ransomed or exchanged, may be rescued. If not rescued, the captive is killed and may be used as bait to attract D6 items of food.
• Skills: Per normal
