Necromunda Campaign: Lower Wacker Hive, Session #3
Last month, while Josh and Pat and were playing The Dogs & The Dust, Ian and I put together a Necromunda game. Ian’s Delaque “Spectres” faced off against my Van Saar “Fjord’s Folly.” On the right flank, Fjord led half his gang across a viaduct. On the opposite side, the Spectres advanced through some ruined ... Read more
Necromunda Campaign: Lower Wacker Hive, Session #2
The second round of our Necromunda campaign took place a couple weeks ago. Here’s the account of the two encounters between the Panther Moderns and Fjord’s Folly.

Last Thursday marked the kickoff of Chicago Skirmish Wargames’ first Necromunda campaign, tentatively titled “Lower Wacker Hive.” (Chicago residents and regular visitors will recognize the inspiration for the name, which comes from Lower Wacker Drive, a mostly underground stretch of roadway that runs right through the guts of downtown Chicago.) The campaign will be sporadic, ... Read more
New Paint for Old Friends: Necromunda Van Saar
I’ve got a blast from the past for you today in the form of my new Van Saar gang, which I just completed after collecting them off and on for many years. Further down I’ll also go over a couple of nifty wargaming products for the gamer on the budget: brush-on matt varnish from Winsor ... Read more
