Fear and Loathing in Necromunda 

We had two bags of loot, seventy-five boxes of dum

dum rounds, five stashes of stimm slugs, a
saltshaker half-full of green toxin, and a whole
galaxy of multi-colored mohawks, cornrows, mullets,
and ponytails… Not that we needed all that for the
trip, but once you get locked into a serious
Necromunda collection, the tendency is to push it as
far as you can.

The only thing that really worried me was the spook

fumes! There is nothing in the world more helpless
and irresponsible and depraved than a ganger in the
depths of an spook binge, and I knew we'd get into
that rotten stuff pretty soon…

-Gonzo Mort, Champion of The Young Ones Goliath gang.

A Necromunda Campaign

Sumptown has been known for very little over the

course of its existence. It has traditionally been a
quiet neighborhood in the underhive with little more to offer than catwalks, sump pumps, and
Spook. All of that is about to change now that the Hive’s most notorious gangs have started
harvesting Spook in high quantities for the Guilder’s drug trade.

The drug trade has come to Sumptown in a murderous, chaotic fashion as the local gangs have
come in droves for its plentiful Spook cache. Which house will become the new Drug Czar of
Sumptown? Who will overdose, and who will ascend to godlike levels as the drug wars rage
around Sumptown? Will it be you?

Primer Info:

Games will be held at At Ease Games every ​Monday​ night at ​6pm​, starting on ​JULY 16​th​. ​Each
player will create a brand new gang using the rules found in The Rule Book, Gang War
Supplements, and White Dwarf rules released thus far. Starting point total will be 1000 credits.

This will be a six week event with a Standoff being had between the two gangs with the highest
rep on week seven. Each player will play ONE game a week. Each week’s mission will be
handed out to the group on the day. Missions will consist of fun randomness involving the drug
Spook. It is a drug war after all.
Campaign Rules in Effect​:

● Everyone will need to play at least one match in Zone Mortalis.

● Campaign Events will be rolled at random at the beginning of each cycle. It will be notated on
the Mission notes that day.

● A “cycle” will consist of a week starting on Monday and concluding on Sunday. Each week is
one cycle, one game. If you miss the planned event every Monday, make up games must be
completed prior to the next week’s cycle.

● All GW released gangs and legacy gangs will be included. All rules in Gang War 1, 2, and 3
will be included. Any PDFs released by GW or Forgeworld as of the start of the Turf War will be
included. If there are rules inconsistencies that are not addressed by the FAQ, use the most
recent version of the rules.

● A new gang’s reputation starts at 1. Turf Size starts at 1 and there are no starting special
territories

● Please make your minis as WYSIWYG as possible.

● After each battle, fill out the google doc for your gang
so I can keep track of the campaign’s progress.

● Bonus reputation points:

○ 1 Reputation will be gained each time a fully painted

gang participates in a battle (three color and
bases included). Max bonus points is 6.

○ 1 Reputation will be gained for each “article”

contributed to the Pipetown Gazette newspaper
during a cycle. This should include a narrative
posted to the facebook page detailing battle
details and any after action details with at least
one picture. Max bonus points is 6.

○ ​NEGATIVE 2​ reputation points will be attributed to

each unpainted gang that participates each week.
This is a hobbyist’s game… PAINT YOUR
MODELS. (Minimum three colors, base included)

● Tactics cards: ​Tactics Card Decks will consist of

twenty cards, no duplicates. Each player will choose their
20 cards prior to the game to build their deck. Each deck
can only contain general gang cards, and cards that are
specific to the gang you are playing (i.e. Escher cards cannot be used by Goliath gangs). Each
Player should have their own tactics deck. If they do not, they can use their opponent’s, but only
after their opponent has chosen and or drawn their cards first, and they may only pull from the
general tactics cards, not the gang specific ones.

● The tactics card Dangerous Footing will not be allowed in this Turf War, nor can be included in
your Tactics Card Deck unless both parties agree to it prior to their match beginning. If it is
allowed, it can only be played in a Zone Mortalis match.

● ​Retainer fees:​ Hired guns and Bounty Hunters love to make a name for themselves and
these days, they’re selling their services through a retainer model. In order to hire a Bounty
Hunter or Hired Gun, take the following steps:

○ Create the hired gun or bounty hunter, give them a suitable name, establish their value in
credits, and post their card and a picture of their mini on the facebook group.

○ In step one of the pre-battle sequence, you may sign an exclusive contract with that hired gun
or bounty hunter for 50% of their value. The hired gun may then be used in that battle.

○ For every subsequent game, pay 20% of their value as a retainer. If the retainer is paid, the
hired gun or bounty hunter may participate in the fight. If the fee is not paid, the bounty hunter is
lost and may not participate in any future battles.

○ If the hired gun or bounty hunter is killed, the fee is lost, the bounty hunter is lost, and may not
participate in any future battles.

Clarifications:

Pre-battle sequence:

● The value of a Gang’s Stash is not included in the Gang Rating.

● The Leader and Champion’s starting skill cost is included in the model’s base cost and doesn’t
need to be added in again.

Post-battle sequence:

● ​Cowards never win​: If you voluntarily bottle out, you automatically lose the game. In the case
of The Looters scenario, if the defender voluntarily bottles out, any caskets that the attacker
holds at the time of the enemy bottling out are considered to have escaped as though they had
moved off the table edge.

● If you flee the field, have no fighters on the field at the end of the game, and a fighter dies, you
lose his gear. If you take your injured fighter to the doc and he dies, you retain his gear, even if
you decide to not spend the credits to save him.
● ​New Rule: Get back to work:​ Fighters that will recover in the in the "Fighters Recover" phase
may participate in all parts of the "Post Battle Sequence."

Equipment

● When using a pistol in close combat, you always use WS and you do not get the Accuracy
bonus (if any). Grenades do not count towards the three weapon limit.

● Blast markers must be fired at a point on a piece of terrain and cannot be fired to hit a "point in
the air". Templates and blast markers should be considered three dimensional. Therefore a
blast marker is a sphere and a flame template is a 3D teardrop shape.

Reporting your Games:

You should have been invited to a spreadsheet that will be used to

track your gang’s progress. It will be up to you to keep tabs on the
specifics of your gang. However, after each game, you should record
the change in rating, turf, and reputation. Follow the steps below to
update on your gang. (Do not make any changes to another gang’s
record. I can see the changes that have been made and who made
them so don’t even try it). Steps to update your roster:

1. Find your gang name on the tabs at the bottom.

2. Enter your starting information into the shaded cells. Gang Name
and Type should be entered into B1 and D1 respectively.

3. On row three, enter your starting gang stats into the appropriate
shaded boxes. If you’re starting a new gang then your Reputation (B3) is 1 and Turf (D3) is 1.
Your Gang Rating (C3) should be 1000 unless you’re bringing your gang from the last Turf War.
Similarly, only enter a starting special territory if you’re continuing your gang from the last Turf
War.

4. After each game, you’ll record changes to your gang in the appropriate boxes. Enter the
change in value into the appropriate shaded boxes, not the final tabulation. So, for example, if
you lost 3 turf as a result of a game, enter -3 into the turf box for the game. Your total reputation,
turf, and rating should tabulate at the bottom of the sheet (row 44).

5. When entering the value for Reputation (Column B), enter into the first box “Rewards” any
rewards gained from the scenario special rules. Then, enter a 1 if you had a fully painted gang
(in that scenario), and 1 in the appropriate box if you contributed a story to the Pipetown
Gazette. If you didn’t provide these things, leave those boxes blank. Your final reputation will be
calculated in row 44.

6. It’s ok to look at other gang’s pages, but as with Mad Donna, look and don’t touch.
