GANG HISTORY

Created for Necromundacon 2006, the Soul Crows were the only Outlander gang to participate out of the six gangs present.

Necromundacon 2006 was set up as an all-day Necromunda event. We got started in the morning and played through until nearly midnight, breaking for lunch, and a cookout for dinner. Five of my friends were there for a total of six gangs. Everyone was to bring a 12"x12" piece of terrain to represent one of the territories from the book. There were three trophies to be had; Best Painted Gang, Best Terrain Feature, and Best Overall Gang. The first two categories were voted on by the players. The last one was the gang that had the highest rating when the dust cleared. We had three 4'x4' tables set up, chock full of terrain, and they were given their own names, in effect, they represented three domes; Machine Town, Red Sector A, and Sumpville. A separate treacherous conditions roll was made for each dome at the beginning of each game, as well as a new arbitrator campaign event rolled at the beginning of each round that applied to everyone.

The first four rounds of the day, we played individual head-to-head games between the gangs simultaneously, one game at each dome. One of the players had to leave after that. After dinner, we played a fifth round which was a massive, five-gang shootout scenario, followed by a final sixth round. In the sixth round, two gangs fought head to head at one dome, while the remaining three gangs played a three way scavengers scenario at another.

Skills: Jump Back, Leap Injuries: -1Ld Equipment: knife, stub pistol, lasgun

Skills: (None) Equipment: knife, autopistol, musket

Notable History: After the first six games, this ganger has still yet to receive a skill roll. I rolled a 1 for starting experience, and in post-game sequences, I’ve rolled nothing but 1’s or 2’s. He has yet to wound an opponent in combat as well. He has yet to earn himself a decent longarm.

Skills: Feint, +1W, +1BS Injuries: Head Wound, -1S Equipment: knife, shotgun (w/ manstopper shells)

Skills: Leap, +1T, +1S, +1W Injuries: -1 Initiative Equipment: knife, massive sword, stub pistol, archeotech bolter

Notable History: Now that Odin has the right equipment to match his abilities and skills, he is poised to become a combat monster. He is on the verge of becoming a serious threat on the field. I’m hoping to get another Radzone territory, if so, I’ll be sending Odin to to work it every time until he gains the ‘fear’ ability.

CREDITS: 5

STASH

CREDS: Six, yes that's right, six! My one complaint about a Ratskin gang, other than not having access to heavy weapons or other high tech weapons in general, is that they are always broke. It is almost never worth going to the Outlaw Trading Post, because you can never afford anything that's ever offered.

EQUIPMENT: (none)
