NH24 - Other Games (Sat May 4th) Planning Thread

[job]

Are any people interested in Bolt Action on the 2nd day?

@Konrad: it has been a long while, but I’d love to do some Necromunda. Can I bring some of my cultists along?

@Auxryn: I don’t have any models any more, but if you need a player, it’d be good to try DSC again.

Necro! Yes!! "It's been a while." indeed! Just to double-check, we are talking Living Rulebook here, based on the original rules. not the re-vamped Underhive 2017. Rock the Hive! Are there some home-brew Chaos Cultist Gang rules you are planning to use or just "counts-as-XXgang"?

I’m playing whatever ruleset you are. I’m at this point more in favor of the “older/classic” “crowdsourced” “living” ruleset (than one that I have to pay GW every year to subsidize their publishing wing).

BTW, is their a site that contains the living rulebook? (Yak tribe?)

As for rules, I think it might be easiest to just use a ruleset for something like the “scabbies”. (The chaos gods seem to hardly provide any noteworthy “gifts”. Look at me, near 26 years of devotion and I still don’t have those horns out of my head or a set of talons; only a few moles to show for it.) However, if you have a characterful simple tweak to the rules, I’m all ears.

I'm at work, so I can't link to Yaktribe, but the "Vault" has the all the rules. Reminds me, I have not checked in in a couple years. I should make sure my copy is up to date. I am pretty sure they re-did the Outlanders Rules a while back. I might already have those, need to check. The "Scavies" are in there, along with the Ratskins and Spyrers. I have a bunch of mutants and Skavies, so if you need to borrow a 3 armed or winged or two headed toxic wasteland mutant, I have you covered. Maybe I'll re-purpose my Gorkamorka Digga-Chicks into Ratchicks.

An Underworlds update for Stu’s panic reduction Currently we have 5 definites (including me) and 2 maybes, plus I don’t know how many (but probably not many) who are thinking of coming but haven’t signed up to my twitter event thingie. (Jye, I’m counting you as a maybe even though you haven’t signed up to the twitter thing yet.)

[Jye Nicolson]

Yeah I'm still torn between Underworlds and playing random games that I normally ignore for 40k.

Right, just didn't want you to worry about fussing with the twitter thing or not.

[The Underdweller]

Who is coming for Malifaux this day? @Balloonacorn and @MiJ, right?

If there are 3 players, I would be happy to try another game, like Necromunda, assuming that there is a free space in that game, of course!

[me_in_japan]

regarding Malifaux, would other players (Underdweller and Balloonacorn, so far, but room for more!) be interested in playing a current global campaign game? The info is here: but a very preliminary read through suggests it's just an extra objective per game, and a couple of variable effects for Nia during the game. I dunno - just figured it might be fun? If nobody else fancies it, that's all fine, too

[Grantholomeu]

Sorry I've been radio silent. I'll mostly be around day 1 and 2 for Malifaux. The campaign games look interesting, but I'll have to read it in detail later.

If I'm probably going to be playing two games of Malifaux the 1st day, and probably another game of Malifaux early the 2nd, I'd be interested in giving anything else a shot in the later half of day 2, whether that be Underworlds, Necromunda, Bolt Action, Dropzone Commander, or whatever. I just think I'll probably be Malifaux'd out after 3 games.

I do have the Basic and Outlander LRB rules printed out. But they are an older version. I noticed there has been an update, so I will see if the changes are significant.

[Primarch]

I've been looking over what I can bring with me/run demos of and have settled on the following.
Bolt Action.
Saga: Age of Vikings.
I will have two forces for each game and all the necessary bits and pieces to play, so if anyone feels like giving them a try, I'm happy to put on an intro game or two.
