Necromunda Inside

 Last month I mentioned that the Kid got a big box of Boarding Action terrain from Santa.  Well, that got snipped out in a hurry, and we decided to play a quick game of "inside" Necromunda using the Zone Mortalis rules.  We used my Escher gang and the kid took a Goliath gang which had just been built.

Setting off the Smoke Alarm

As one might expect the tight quarters were deadly, and the muscle bound Goliaths do really well when no one can draw a line of sight to them!  Correspondingly everyone who could was throwing down smoke grenades.  I did manage to shoot the Stimmer (a mountain of muscle with two heavy close combat weapons) in the head with a krak grenade, so that was a nice way to end that threat. 

We liked the way the game played out, but thought that many there was not enough of the terrain to make a full table.  I started printing a few add-ons (ruined walls, upper levels and the like) and we also invested in another six sprues from Ebay, so I guess we are doing more of this...

Holidaze 2026

 Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to you my dear reader(s)!

Hopefully you are well and are well done with 2025.

Did you get what you wanted from Santa?

As for myself, I got a few things hobby related, which was quite nice.

Air brush primers and thinner, Mimics, Necromunda Van Saars, and late Hundred Years war knights

Over New Years Eve and the surrounding days, I played a game of Root, Finished the D&D campaign with the kiddos (hopefully more on that later) and played a quick game of Necromunda with the kid. 

The Kid BTW made out very well, and got a box of Boarding Action Terrain, a Goliath Gang, the book for said gang, a Risk card game, and a few other things.  Oh, and I got him a print of Mordheim and some witch hunters, so THAT is happening in 2026.

Last year I had planned to work more on Eldar and work on WWII Normandy, neither of which really happened.  I have quite a lot of Eldar built though, so I should get to painting... maybe the new Corsair releases will encourage me?  I did nearly build up the Kill Team: Farstalker Kinband, which was a lovely experience, lots of pieces that go together well and result in some great poses... that I have to paint.  Fortunately I have a contrast paint based plan for that. 

What about you?  What are you working on in 2026?
