Necromunda Bible
The legal bit (not my specialty but seems like everyone has to have one these days)
This is an OpenGamingResource intended to compile as many rules, scenarios, characters, ideas etc... based around Necromunda as possible.

Back Ground
Now we got that out of the way, here's the scoop. After searching though mounds of notes and dozens of links and archived websites I finally decided to bite the bullet and make a Necromunda Bible. Originally it was just intended to tidy up my office/HD and create a resource for future games. Then I thought to myself why note share what I got and see if there are any other gamers out there in the same position that would like to contribute. If we all chip in a scenario here and a character there then we could make the mother of all hobby gaming bibles. If all goes well we get an Uber universal reference book, maybe introduce a few more players to Necromunda, and dare I say it... get Games-Workshop to breathe some life back into a game that brought, and continues to bring, endless hours of entertainment to so many.
Join the Scrum or Watch from the Sidelines.
So if your up for a challenge and would like to be a part of something big then roll up your sleeves and jump in. We all have tons of this stuff just sitting in our HD or crammed in our notebooks. And if your like me you've probably spent hours scouring the web for new content for your games, or more likely trying to find a lost article on an alternate gang. So dust off those minis breakout the house rules and help make put Necromunda back on the proverbial map.
Failing that this is the just the mad ramblings of a old gamer trying to share his ideas as he tidies up his office. I'll do my best to keep this updated for as long as I'm working on the project and as long as their is interest.
Conduct
This page is intended to be an OpenGamingResource so please keep that in mind when adding content. The idea is to collect information not remove it because we don't like someone else's idea for a gang. All criticism should remain positive and should include, where possible, suggestions to aid balancing of game play. Any suggestions with majority support should be included in the target gang posting under the subheading "suggestions".
So what is Necromunda?
Only one of the best tabletop skirmish games set in the Warhammer 40k universe. The game is based on the planet Necromunda. Necromunda is a industrial world covered in an endless dessert and punctuated by enormous spire like cities, called Hives. Deep in the bellies of these Hives are planets main population. Destined to never to the light of day or step foot on their planets surface; Most eek out an existence in the numerous factories and processing plants, while others band together in gangs in gain both power, respect and maybe even a shot at a better life. These are the gangs of Necromunda.
Some here are are a few of the wiki page suggestions for us to start working on:
Offical Gangs
Homebrew Gangs
Tired of playing the same old gangs every campaign? Wish so one would come up with some new gangs you can stomp around you home hive? Well hiver its your lucky day. In the Homebrew gang section you'll find every type of gang there is. From big hulking green skins to Tau occupied spires to well... you get the idea.
Grot Mob - There small, they've got a terrible aim and lets face it there just as likely to kill some with a squig as get eaten by one themselves.
Big Game Hunter - Spyre rigs aren't the only uphivers looking to bag a few of the hive denizens.
Gang Concepts - This for any half baked ideas that still need a little time to proof.
Homebrew Scenarios
Looking for something a little more exotic that you average gang fight.
Scenario Drawing Board - So you know what you want to do with your gangs but your not sure how to write out balanced scenario. Well, this is the place for you.
Homebrew Territories
Theres a lot more territories out there than the standard GW vairants.
Territory Emporium - Every Territory you can think of, or atleast this is where they will be. List all completed territory ideas here please.
Territory Ideas - Got an idea for a new territory but not to sure about the fluff or income? Throw it in here and lets see what we can come up with.
Homebrew Characters
Gideon Feltch - The guy that knows a guy.
Ozzie and TinMan - Ozzie is a Big Game Hunter with a passion for hive safari. While he tends to look down on the spoiled brats in their spyre rigs, he would dream of going on a hunt with a TinMan (basicly a tank on legs).
Homebrew Skills
If you can imagine its probably already here. Whats that... its not? Then up a keyboard and show us what you got.
Skill Emporium - Skills, skills and more skills. Got a skill we havent heard of throw in the here.
Skill Ideas - From the practical to the downright mean. If you've thought it up we want it here.
Weapons
If it whacks, booms, ticks or goes "Bruh-da-da-da-da" then it belongs here in the weapons list.
House Rules
Got something you want to contribute but it doesnt seem to fit anywhere above they why not post in to the general house rules or creat your own heading.
