first of all, my excuses for my long absence on this blog. Work, travel, moving and changing "companies" do not leave any time for the hobby at the moment...
However, my friend and me managed to find a couple of hours in between to first get some black and brown priming (spray) onto our Necromunda terrain and then...
play the first (test) game of Necromunda with complete and newly created gangs (me Goliaths, him Delaque) using the new Necromunda terrain (and some of my old stuff from Warhammer 40k).

Thick smelly fog wafts through the rusty and crumbled industrial complexes that lie ahead of either gang. They do not know yet what will expect them on this dim "day" in the Hive. Carefully they move forward through the steel forest exertively listening to every sound in the ghostly silence...

- A heroic juve from the Delaques managed to kill a completely covered Goliath ganger in one shot (7+) -- with a stub gun! Only after he pinned even the Goliath heavy, this crude weapon malfunctioned...
- Before that the Goliath heavy, Sigi, used his heavy stubber to sieve one of the Delaque gangers while the latter was crossing a bridge. The poor Delaque did never recover from these wounds...
With two people dead and one crippled the Goliath Leader decided to bottle out in the last minute before his whole gang would have been beaten up. What a first (test) game...
