Hello everyone

Transcript of the WHTV with HH on Necromunda.

-Tyranids DID NOT ate the squats it was a running joke of the studio 15 years ago !
-The squat in Necromunda : Is a member of Vega Rams (old merc units wrote by HH in a CA long time ago)

-In Hive Primus, being part of a gang is like a rite of passage. Everyone spend some time in it.
-The houses are industrials groups fighting Proxy war through their gang.
-Bounty Hunter Gang in white dwarf, can be composed of 100 % Squats ! (7 squats mercs !!!)

Orlock

-One of the Orlock face is Adam (Lord of ring designer manager).
-All the 6 houses never had a lot of fluff. Orlock had a bit of fluff in an old Fanatic book. The other houses have their fluff derived from their models.
-Orlock house have massive mining operation on the surface. But the gang is not part of the house per se. They are more riders/guards to the mining convoy, at the fringe of the house. That's why orlock look like riders.
-Orlock gangers were at first Orlock slaves. they revolted and got promoted to low rank military (Origine of the rebellious spirit of the Orlock gang.)

Weapons
Harpoon launchers : in the fluff useful to drag gangers/Loot down in their MaD MaX wars. it's a bit utilitarian.
Don't use Laz weapon, very rugged they love solid ammo, Bowie Knife. Functional and Tough .
Heavy Bolter in the book !

Hired Guns

Extra fightesr you can hire for one game.
Plan for rules allowing them in gangs as permanents members.
2 types : Bounty hunters (strong), Hired guns (weak drek)

Bounty hunters :
3 Profiles, up to 5 weapons, Skills options.
You can hire them just before the game after you know the enemy gang.
They can have everything (skills/weapons ) you want and you can design them to be the nemesis of the opposing gang (countering enemy skills/setup). Off course they are expansives !
If you capture an enemy the BH have a chance to increase the money you gain.

The Esher Bounty Hunter
Yolanda challenged the previous leader of their gang , lost and was banned instead of killed (because she is crazy)

Hangers On
Support cast (like bloodbowl : apo, assistant coach, wizard..) Dont take part if the game.
