Getting back into Munda

Munda Boards are the Best Boards

 

Well I am getting back into Munda and the thing to do is have a game. I convinced a mate who has always been impressed by the boards but isn't interested in the hobby side or have the time for a full campaign to give it a shot.

Bottomless drops, overlapping walkways

Seeing me as he was mostly interested in the 3D boards I tried to make the most interactive and layered board I could.

Could it get more of a Underhive feel?

And this is the result, 5 layers of Metro Morph stacked on top of the Death Watch Hive Boards. 

He was 1mm outside of flamer template

It took me about 3 hours to set up, and thanks to the layout there are lots of places to climb and jump. As well as the exciting risk of falling off the map as the Death Watch tiles have their own walkways and fall spaces.

Can't control the light and game

The game itself was great, I made a Venators gang and a Chaos Cult and even painted up some new Minis just for this. I even painted up the new dice tray another mate gave to me for Christmas.

 I wanted some starting gangs and decided whoever won I would play in the next campaign.

He got Swag

My mate choose the Venators, mainly cause of how stylish Draik was looking. I was quite happy to play with Jhor'dan the new Chaos Leader I had put together.

We did the Border Dispute scenario as its my favorite, aim of the game destroy the enemy relic.

Howling Griffons Statue and a Cool Flag

He won with some smooth moves finding good firing lines in amongst the mess of walkways.

Maybe I could have blocked out more firing lines..

Highlights were when he played a tactics card which let him drop a sump monster tentacle next to my leader then walk off the edge of a the building onto the tile and thanks to the Grav Chute get out unharmed. And when one of my gangers tripped and broke his neck on the same jump 4 or 5 others had made before him.

Back - Relic, Numeriel, Draik

Losers

Then it took another hour to pack down.  Only after my son had a good half a day playing with it, can't keep the cool toy cities to myself you know. 

Necron Attack

As much as I love this terrain I am not sure the set up and pack down time can always be justified. I had been thinking about this for awhile as I had already found it a strain for 40k set up sometimes and that is mainly making boxes. I started looking into other cheap easy to store terrain options at the start of the year. 

First attempt at a layout

This is when I came across tenfold dungeon, basically is a big box with boxes in it but they are all nice pretty boxes and with some door clippers and wall dividers you can make have a necromunda 2D board or you can flip them all upside down and they are predone 40k terrain boxes.

Enforcers Complex

I did end up using the barricades that come with it for the Big Necromunda battle above and they matched in nicely.

Looks Good

Going forward into the upcoming campaign which wont use the classic Munda Territories instead our arbitrators have cooked up a monster hunt campaign (Sounds pretty good for a Gang called Kurnous's Lance)

The Starting Roster

As you need to have your special weapon ganger in the starting roster and cannot add them in later I needed to rejig the list. The arbitrators approved house rules saying my Venators can dip into the House of Books special stuff as well. So in comes Sir Jonas and The "Accountant" who gets to be a Psyker (as a Navigator should) thanks to House of Shadow. I also gave them the Fixer skill (I guess they are fixing the books) to make sure I have the creds to recruit the rest of the crew. First 110 Creds I earn are pre-spent on hiring Kais again.
