Almost ancient Warhammer chap starting in 1987! 40k, Battlefleet Gothic, Titanicus, Legions Imperialias mostly... My insta has painting guides for quick, easy and effective schemes, that don't need an airbrush or anything too fancy 😀 IG: theeternitygate www.instagram.com/theeternityg...

Yeah for sure! Potentially the biggest threat to the Imperium and it's not even realised.

Tech-Adept B4LDR1C8 is now painted and his #Necromunda rules are sorted (part of our Mechanicus custom rules). This is a hanger-on, so won't actually appear in games much, but his idiocy is likely to have some impact.

Their rules do look fun 😄 I like a bit of random carnage

The las bolt punched through Adept Borok’s leg. He screamed as he hit the floor.. “Help!! Help!!”

“Uhm, no I think I am ok actually… err, yes I’ll just crawl home, it’s fine!! No.. stop, oh feth!”

The Magos wasn’t familiar with this pattern of Automata, or who had actually arranged it, but apparently UR-025 had been sent directly from Mars to support the expedition into the #Necromunda Underhive…

Man, I've done some cool shit over the years and kept as simple as I could. I only hope that there's someone out in the world that decided to pick up a brush and tackle something they might have otherwise been intimidated by because I went, "This is way simpler than I'd have thought."

After some input from the group, here's updated Tech-Adept B4LDR1C8 rules for #Necromunda and added a little bit of background text. Should be fun. Painting this idiot soon.

Oops forgot to update his description text

The Eternity Gate @eternitygate40k.bsky.social · 5d

We have decided this chap will be Tech-Adept B4LDR1C8. A hanger-on of questionable merit for our #Necromunda Mechanicus rules. First draft of his rules.

We have some slightly different rules for medical escort with Mechanicus, so hadn't factored in rogue docs. But that's probably a good call, so I might need to look at how that could work. 😀

Servitors only have 1 action unless a direct line can be drawn to a Tech-Priest, or a priest controls them with a noospheric link. This repeatedly forced choices about positioning or when to activate priests and the link. Very fun and atmospheric.

If interested, the latest version of rules we've done can be found here: drive.google.com/file/d/1uVZ1...

Had the first 2 #Necromunda campaign games this week. Both were 3 player madness with Mechanicus, a Malstrain infected Van Saar gang and Corpse Grinders. Our Mechanicus rules are working a treat, very thematic and opponents enjoyed. It was great our rules for Servitor control actually mattered 😀

And this individual will be used as a hanger-on of some form. Undecided what as of yet.

Adept B4LDR1C8! I appreciate your commitment to this exploration of the Necromunda Underhive, but for the millionth time! Attaching Transonic Weaponry to a base grade servitor is NOT an efficient use of materials!

The Eternity Gate @eternitygate40k.bsky.social · 7d

Work in progress. Necromunda… Tech-Guard Delta Rho 9. He does not have many bionics yet. He has to earn the blessing of the machine god and bring worthy of upgrade to Skitarii.

Need to do a bit more with his “Transonic Glaive”, as I think it needs a little something for the power system.

Ta! The Inquisitorial Agents kill team

The Eternity Gate @eternitygate40k.bsky.social · 7d

Robed mini + Skitarii ranger head = Automatic Tech-Priest (or Adept in this case). Another mini for the Necromunda Mechanicus Explorator “gang”.

Also the more flexible kitbashing and painting, due to more rule freedom, customisation and smaller gang vs an army, makes for an all round great hobby experience. Sure there are a LOT of rules and optional things in the game, but the depth is magic. Can't recommend enough.

The Eternity Gate @eternitygate40k.bsky.social · 11d

Opponents are playing Genestealer Cults, Enforcers, Van Saar, Cawdor and Corpsegrinders. So a nice mix of things between us. Have to say, getting into Necromunda has been a joy and even with us making our own faction rules, a much more relaxing time than 40k with it's incessant rule changes of late.

Start our new Necromunda campaign Tuesday. We've had a bunch of test games with our Mechanicus rule set now and a fair bit of rule tweaking happened. Mostly filling situational gaps in rules, fleshing equipment out and setting up a progression system (based on items not stats) for Servitors.

Dodgy photo, but in a rush. Anyway, finished this one last night for the #Necromunda Mechanicus. A "Recalibrating Sicarian", another combat unit being honed by using gangers and hive scum as a training exercise.
