In recent years (and especially since I've been following various Oldhammer pages online), I've been shaking my head more and more about the disappearance of the Chaos Dwarfs. I'm sure I ***threw away*** some plastic Chaos Dwarfs back in the day...!
@@JackOfDiceAndThem if you're looking to offload them to the loving home of someone who can't afford current online asking rates, this Aussie might be interested :P
Huh, I've just realized that the two metal minis I found and cleaned up a while ago are actually old Delaque gangers. There you go, Guy, these videos can be classed as educational!
You absolutely MUST do a retromunda campaign that would be awesome. This was my fav GW game from way back when. I still have the terrain from this box, me and my son(he's 12, the same age i was roughly when this came out) use it for 40k etc I remember it being being so cool to actually have themed terrain to play with. Great video Guy, a real trip down memory lane for me
so, for people considering going down the Retromunda road, but who dont want to use the modern gang boxes, heres a list of good conversion fodder 1. Chaos Marauders www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Chaos-Marauders-2016 2. Cadians www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Imperial-Guard-Cadian-Shock-Troops-2017 3. Catachans www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Imperial-Guard-Catachan-Jungle-Fighters 4. Chaos cultists www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Chaos-Cultists-2019 5. Genestealer Cult Neophyte Hybrids 6. Fanatics www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Empire-Flagellant-Warband
Great video! Re: the list of influences at 1:40, presumably Judge Dredd is the biggest one, even down to some of the language used (e.g. "juves"). Although cyberpunk is a vast genre!
I got started with wargaming at age 12 with the 2nd edition 40k boxed set, but this boxed set really made me fall in love with the genre. I still keep every faction in the original box with the card and bulkhead buildings. Outlander gangs, ash waste nomads, and tons of converted figures. I also used house rules commonly available online for vehicles like motorcycles. This was my rabbit hole and still captures my imagination WAY more than the new version of either Necromunda or 40k. It was the investment I had in the gang I bought (Van Saars at first) and following their story from one fight to another kept my attention and kept me involved in the campaigns.
Wonderful. The game that got me into the hobby, all those years ago. I still have my old Cawdor gang and the books. So what's the next retro unboxing? Gorkamorka is clearly right up your street.
Me and a friend just bought Necromunda: Dark Uprising and a few weeks ago and are planing on playing our first game this upcoming weekend! So exited to be getting in to this hobby
Do I have a whole 20 mins to spare in my day to listen to Guy swooning over OG Necromunda? Seeing as Guy's 'How to Play' videos literally taught me how to tabletop, sure, only for you Guy!
This was a fantastic game: a refined version of the best wh40k version ever, where you play "human stat" squads which, until you role play them too high, are really fun and unpredictable. I remember how fun it was putting your whole squad against a single powerful enemy, like a genestealer, an ork infiltrator squad, or (if you are a little masochist and your squad stats have grown too far) even a lictor! Custom rules could be found everywhere and since it was NOT an turnament game, ruel bitching and "you can't do it" attitudes were far more relaxed.
Still have my van Saar, redemptionist and a load of the bulkheads. Break out Outlanders Guy, still use mine for the alien stats. Good ol' purestrain genestealer can rip through a gang on its own
I miss the Weapon sprues, back in the 90s you could buy weapons sprues with weapons without hands. Yeah all those new rulebooks and "expansions" feels more like you are buying the same things over and over again, but it does have some good side but its nor really rules or mechanics related. It would be nice to see an old school Necromunda '95 campaign, I still have my Eschers, they are my reminder of how I used to paint, also reminder that back then I didn't care much what happened to the minis when they were converted, meaning I didn't remove bit carefully as I do today, I also painted and converted some of my Eschers into Catachans :)
Looks like a fun game. You could likely reproduce it today using the PDF, Miniatures you have on hand and home made structures. Would love to see a battle report.
@@MidwinterMinis I love turn-based games as well, and I was really looking forward to it. It's just the pacing is slow as hell, the campaign is a glorified tutorial and the bugs... the bugs. Gonna give it a year and come back when they fix stuff, it needed much more time in the oven.
@@MidwinterMinis I'm enjoying it. Seems to have a lot of depth and replay-ability, but I am only a few hours in. Playing it here! th-cam.com/video/QiufP6Z30ao/w-d-xo.html
Would love to see a retro unboxing of Titan Legions. I think out of all the GW stuff I've collected, TL impressed me the most with the sheer amount of STUFF they crammed into that box! And the way the Imperator and Mega Gargant were basically games unto themselves with their absolutely MASSIVE datacards (The Imperator's is the size of the entire box!) designed to place troop stands on them for boarding actions and in the case of the Gargant, moving Grots around to fight fires, was just absolutely brilliant.
Between this and Blood Bowl, I think it's my personal GW golden age. The contemporary White Dwarf articles really nailed the pulp/western sci-fantasy feel of the game perfectly. All six (initial) gangs are fantastically designed, all the add-ons actually fit well too. Great video!
At the risk of being pedantic: Goliaths *could* get agility skills (advance roll of 2 or 12) and everyone could buy boltpistols for their starting gang (20 credits). You could even give 'em to a juve. I love the new game, but its nice to get a bit nostalgic about the game I fell in love with all them years ago.
"I'll run a Necromunda game in 2021. I'm sure no major life events will get in the way. Now to read this message from Penny and take a big sip of coffee."
I'd love to see the campaign vids on this subject!!!! I really like the whole idea and setting of this game, but for some reason i never really got into playing it....... I guess mostly because all my friends where playing on their snes's😅
Why would I not want to listen to 21 minutes and 24 seconds of your soothing voice and background music. I don't even know what you were talking about, I just wanted to listen 😉
When you mentioned "stupidity", I had a visceral flashback to my first few games, and how frustrating it was when my Kroxigors just wouldn't Charge the enemy Greatswords. I completely forgot that was a mechanic, man, your videos bring me back to what I enjoyed in the hobby.
Rather than call the old version something else, it'd be better to call the new game something else, or at least put a '2' on the end, to avoid confusing it with the game we all loved. I was like "OMG they're re-releasing... oh."
U r not exaggerating or kidding at all. Retromunda is the best first wargame for beginners. U could buy this game and play 100 games and none would be the same.
Mordheim is to Warhammer as Necromunder is to 40k. If you're interested in the fantasy side of gang warfare you should look up the free rules for Mordheim and thank me later. 😉
Even though I never played it back in the day, I got a pretty powerful nostalic hit when you were flicking through those brochures. I had the Orlock ganger that came free with a copy of White Dwarf - he's still kicking around somewhere, minus an arm I think. I was really looking forward to N17 when it was announced, going so far as to collect decent sized Escher, Redemptionist and Ratskin gangs of the original metal minis. Sadly the bare-bones launch rules, hideous rulebook design (thin black text on a mottled grey background - eye-bleed inducing!) combined with the post-launch constant drip of additional rules and supplements, not to mention the eye-watering prices of the Forgeworld character mini's quickly killed my desire to get into it. Maybe it's time to give Retromunda a look.
Guy, this is it, I never thought I could enjoy your content more and yet here we are. This is such a great video, absolutely wonderful. It was so good I watched it again right after.
Although Necromunda 2017, everyone bought it, very few actually played it. The rules are all over the shop and often you have to go to yaktribe to get rules clarification and the cards sell out at the pre-order stage never to be seen again except at 8x the price on ebay.
It must be influential cos after I watched this I made a knock off of necromunda where you can be aliens and humans and stuff and collect metal shard to buy items and weapons at random from merchants or collecting loot from killed enemies with a randomized system of shop items and loot from enemies
This was amazing. I hope you do a video on how to paint the models in this retro style and how people can build a replica of this terrain at home. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
I was sad to have discovered Necromunda a bit after its original heyday...hence I now have a growing pile of the new stuff. Not missing out again. Now to paint it all....
My only issue with the old models which really only applies to the Goliaths is that the overall proportions seem off as they are very very wide for their height.
I literally found a box of Space Crusade in the attic when I moved house 3 years ago. The Chaos Marines are going into my death guard, and the grots and orks are going into my Green skin army! Amazing find. Edit: Also I love the gang at 00:52, a team of beefy mutants and then at the front 'Jeff', who's leader solely thanks to his trusty cricket bat and enormous balls.
Excellent Video! One question, at 3:41 is this you? I'm not quite sure how old you are and if this is possible, but i''m talking about the picture with the four guys in white shirts, the one on the right side. I'm sorry if i get maniac here, but he looks like you in younger age. Greetings from Germany, love your videos.
@@MidwinterMinis you have great taste. It was such an obscure title at the time but so good. Loved it. Still have mine kicking about in the loft somewhere...
My word the scenery in that set is some of the best ever. The memories! I'm down for some Necomunda campaigning! The Neon Dolls need to get out more :D
I absolutely love these retro videos! This was the era of GW I started in and seeing these unboxing videos gives me the same excitement and enthusiasm I remember when I first opened my copies. I definitely believe, in spite of their flaws, Necromunda and Gorkamorka were the best games GW made. The focus being on customizing and being creative really set the tone for how I play and experience the hobby.
8:19 I used to have that Bounty Hunter, though painted him up as Lobo, mostly due to his hairstyle. Really enjoyed the game back in the day, even if my Cawdor gang kept losing all of it's member. It ended up just being an awesome leader, constantly recruiting juves into his gang, in a hope to win some territory. Those poor juves. As for the stores in Australia, I went to the opening of two of them. Guess that's showing my age now :P

Edit: Also I love the gang at 00:52, a team of beefy mutants and then at the front 'Jeff', who's leader solely thanks to his trusty cricket bat and enormous balls.
Got my cup of tea, got my hobnobs, its Guy time, Guy from midwinter minis that is- not- nevermind
Guy time eh? Sounds like a Goliath type of thing ;p
Sign me up for this campaign. I'm waiting impatiently for the necromunda campaign videos now.
You sir, make amazing videos! Another top quality production.
How do I get permission to download the community edition rules?
"Do the grim dark voice? Ok just for you"
U knew exactly what i was thinking
Who are you and why is this video so complete and instructive?
I love your videos. Thank you for making these.
3:41 YOOO THAT KID HAS AN AKIRA SHIRT... that dub was horrible
Excellent Video! One question, at 3:41 is this you? I'm not quite sure how old you are and if this is possible, but i''m talking about the picture with the four guys in white shirts, the one on the right side. I'm sorry if i get maniac here, but he looks like you in younger age. Greetings from Germany, love your videos.
Haha, I can see what you mean, but I was a little chonk when I was that age. Definitely not me ;)
12:40 Dragonforce! Wooooo!
BEHOLD! The vaaast laaand of LEGENDRA.
@@MidwinterMinis you have great taste. It was such an obscure title at the time but so good. Loved it. Still have mine kicking about in the loft somewhere...
A fellow Beastman gang player? Nice.
Ill watch that RETROMUNDA Campaing, no doubt in my heart!
Thank you for making this video. I remember being a teenager and watching this played in the games store by the pros who hung out there.
My word the scenery in that set is some of the best ever. The memories! I'm down for some Necomunda campaigning! The Neon Dolls need to get out more :D
Love the retro unboxing series! Please make more!
Have you tried the 40k game Mechanicus Guy? I reckon it's the best by far!
Yeah! I've been playing it, it's just a shame you can't play as the Necrons instead ;)
Love your vids can you do some on painting death Guard pls :)
I absolutely love these retro videos! This was the era of GW I started in and seeing these unboxing videos gives me the same excitement and enthusiasm I remember when I first opened my copies. I definitely believe, in spite of their flaws, Necromunda and Gorkamorka were the best games GW made. The focus being on customizing and being creative really set the tone for how I play and experience the hobby.
I’ve been considering playing Necromunda for a while now I think I’ll have to start playing
WOOHOO!!! I just bought some orlock and cawdor metal gangers, the older sculpts are truly amazing !!
- I've never asked for this.
- What a shame.
Yes yes I'm so glad you told us about the living rule book I was looking for something like that.
This kinda reminds me of Akira and Neo Tokyo ngl
just funny how just a few days ago my friends and I decided to start a necromunda campaign and this video is a great help for a new comer!
6:13 40k box sets should still come with that stuff.
3:35 that's the guy from Troll 2 that says OMG ! I swear it. th-cam.com/video/HyophYBP_w4/w-d-xo.html
Haha, eerie!
Come now, Guy.
It's Time.
I've never played a game as of yet just started painting love making terrian and monsters though
8:19 I used to have that Bounty Hunter, though painted him up as Lobo, mostly due to his hairstyle. Really enjoyed the game back in the day, even if my Cawdor gang kept losing all of it's member. It ended up just being an awesome leader, constantly recruiting juves into his gang, in a hope to win some territory. Those poor juves. As for the stores in Australia, I went to the opening of two of them. Guess that's showing my age now :P
This was one of the first wargame I ever played as a kid with my dad, bringing me waaaay back top memories i forgot i had.
20:29 wait... Vinesauce Joel?!
Please don't stop with this awesome content🙏
