Necromuda started this all off, but we are playing all sorts of smll scale skirmish games.
In Necromunda, players control rival gangs battling each other in the Underhive, a place of anarchy and violence in the depths below a major Hive City of the Imperial Hive World of Necromunda, known as Hive Primus.
As in its parent game Warhammer 40,000, play uses 28 mm miniatures (approximately 1:65) and terrain (in this case a heavily polluted cityscape). Being a skirmish game gangs are usually limited to around a dozen models, but as a result game play can become more detailed.
Unlike Warhammer 40,000, Necromunda also allows players to develop their gangs between battles, gaining experience, adding new members or equipment, according to a set of rules. Gangs which frequently win games acquire more Necromundan credits (money) and less injuries and so are able to grow throughout a campaign. In terms of rules, the game draws heavily from the 2nd Edition of Warhammer 40,000, and the ruleset is commonly considered to be better-suited for the type of skirmish games Necromunda encourages.
Necromunda also stands out from most other games by Games Workshop by having a more 3 dimensional table layout, with buildings generally having multiple floors, interconnecting walkways and bridges. The terrain is constructed to simulate a hive city on the planet Necromunda, a dystopian futuristic city resembling a termite mound many kilometres high.
As a note, for our current campaign we are playing Necromunda Community Edition, which can be found both in a printed rulebook on our bookshelf, and in digital form on yaktribe.games in their vault.
