Immerse yourself in the tension-filled narrative of Necromunda, a game set within the nightmarish hive cities of a ruined planet. Here, colorful desperado gangs fight for meager resources while evading searing plasma bolts in an unforgiving environment. Last year, these gangs burst out of the underhive, taking their ramshackle vehicles into even more hostile territories on the ash wastes. With numerous supplements, expansions, and downloads, the sprawling rules of Necromunda needed consolidation. Enter the new Necromunda Core Rulebook.
This mighty tome serves as a one-stop solution, consolidating all the crucial rules required to play Necromunda, whether in Zone Mortalis, Sector Mechanicus, or the Ash Wastes. It brings together all actions, vehicle rules, and weapon traits in a single volume, while also providing updates, clarifications, and a unique XP system for inflicting serious injuries. Let’s explore some of the notable changes that have our attention.
Unified Black Market and Trade Post:
Visiting the store between battles is now a streamlined process. Black Market items, which are rarer and often illegal, are now fully detailed in the back of the Core Rulebook. This consolidation eliminates the need for a separate book to access these items, making gameplay smoother and more convenient.
XP Rewards for Inflicting Serious Injuries:
Gangers now earn 1XP whenever they incapacitate an opponent, with double rewards if they eliminate them from the battle. Additionally, assisting a teammate in recovering from a Serious Injury also grants XP. This system ensures that skilled combatants are duly rewarded for their prowess on the battlefield.
Each Serious Injury Roll Causes a Flesh Wound:
Serious Injuries have become deadlier. Every roll, whether during recovery or due to a painful blow, now inflicts a Flesh Wound. Accumulating Flesh Wounds can significantly impact a fighter’s performance. However, critically injured fighters have a better chance of avoiding permanent injury if they are stabilized by a doc after the battle.
Secondary Skill Selection for 12XP:
Previously overlooked, the Secondary Skill table now offers meaningful choices. For a mere 12XP, players can select the specific skill they desire, giving their gang members a customized edge.
Improved Skills and Lasting Injuries:
Several core skills have been enhanced to ensure better balance and versatility. Previously underutilized skills such as Headbutt, Iron Jaw, and Hurl now offer more significant advantages. Moreover, the Lasting Injury Table introduces a nostalgic touch, allowing fighters to accumulate scars, rivalries, battle wounds, and valuable experience throughout their perilous journeys.
Hit Penalties for Challenging Actions:
Certain combat actions have become more challenging, introducing hit penalties. For instance, aiming at a specific point on the field incurs a -2 penalty, while charging an unseen target results in a -1 penalty. These changes add depth and realism to combat scenarios.
The Essential Tome for Every Player:
The new Necromunda Core Rulebook is an indispensable guide for all players. Bring this comprehensive book, along with your chosen gang’s special rules, to any underhive or above-ground dust-up. Pre-orders for this essential tome will be available soon, with exciting developments to come from Necromunda. Stay tuned to Warhammer Community for future updates and prepare to dive into the thrilling underworld of Necromunda!
