Necromunda: Hive Secundus Should You Buy It?

[@greendragonpodcast2362]

Thanks for the review! Good to hear from someone that is passionate about the product, instead of the people who rush out a video proclaiming how great their free product was.

@@greendragonpodcast2362 thank you!

Feels better with more honest reviews - thank you!

I've been eyeing necromunda for a while now, I've heard its amazing and everyone at my local game store has such positive things to say. I bought this box and have been painting the minis, they are just amazing. The idea that I could paint all of this, and run a campaign with someone else who's new is just awesome. And this is a small thing... but having the necromunda bases included in the box is such a win for me, I hate having to do basing schemes

[@CommanderCheapSkate]

@@flowerknight4879 word!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Good overview. I definitely agree that for new players this is a great jumping in point. Are you guys going to do a self contained campaign?

[@CommanderCheapSkate]

We are. I'm planning on using proxies until I can get the kit painted up!

[@KoW4LsKy]

Since I already bought hardback rulebook I preffer that this box includes paperback one, but it could have few more rules, like how to run malastrain infected gang in regular Necromunda campaign, or new specialists for other gangs.

[@brionl4741]

They are releasing The Book of Desolation in 3 weeks. That should have the rules for malstrain gangs. We probably won't see other specialists until the inevitable further books.

[@andrewmount5717]

Yes!! Because the models, especially the Orrus, are amazing. The game is amazing as well, very good twist on a dungeon crawl

[@semiazrogue]

Tek hunters they got gang fighter(specialist) which is the gang fighter(x) champs and leaders dont have a gang fighter rule, and gangers and juves has their respective gang fighter(ganger) and gang fighter(juve), x is just a marker for place variant here

[@philippk2]

I pre-ordered right after it became available for pre-order. I actually already got the status update that it got shipped.

[@philippk2]

I'm not caring about the paper tiles since I will 3D print my own tiles.

[@JerzyBaksinski]

Ehh, The box is so great and I want to love it. I really really do. It tickles my BSF fancy, it tickles my Necromunda fancy. But for crying out loud, for the tiles did they have to cheap out on that EVER SCARCE CARDBOARD?!

[@CommanderCheapSkate]

@@JerzyBaksinski thats what I'm saying!

[@JerzyBaksinski]

@@CommanderCheapSkate Yeah. I saw you underline this "shrinkflation" matter, but honestly they could really go better about this. I can accept the rulebook is not hardback, sure. Maybe instead of giving 2 spyrer models put in just 1 Maybe instead of plastic barricades/doors put in cardboard ones. I could accept their price gouging which is insane in the first place. But this just shows lack of respect or care. I want to believe that the specialist games studio tries harder and cares more then regular GW. I really do. But at the same time they go with this shit... I'll be honest with you, I had a long difficult time thinking whether to buy it as the price is quite steep for me, and that goddamn POS poster instead of tiles really broke the camels back. On the other hand, now I'm gluing together a lovely Cloud Buster set from TT-Combat and boy oh boy am I happy about it ^^

[@brionl4741]

Those archaeo-loot cards are probably already available online.

[@SpannSr1970]

Reporting for duty Commander! Might miss this one got a ton of gray already. But it’s tempting me.

[@CommanderCheapSkate]

@@SpannSr1970 word. No worries 😎

[@matthewanglin1]

Thanks for the review. They lost me at paper mat and paper terrain. I think I'd like to have the rule book, but I'll wait to buy it in hardcover.

[@CommanderCheapSkate]

@@matthewanglin1 you're welcome!

[@ricktoriousgamer]

Models are great and happy to have got box (at a discount), my gripe is that the malstrain do not interface readily with an underhive campaign (uses malstrain points vs credits system) Hoping it changes in the future

[@CommanderCheapSkate]

@@ricktoriousgamer same here!

[@Healyurself]

Ive so far enjoyed the campaign. Its a great intro for new players. I do feel that the aug tek hunter equiped with the 12" deny is very powerful to use. Also the credit cost for the spyre even though they are very powerful to get all the good stuff is a steep price of 490credits. 😅 i just dont know how to get 1250 credits to work with a gang and a spyre. Overall i enjoyed so far 3 missions outta 6 so far. Looking forward to see what the book brings and how the rest of my solo campaign finishes. 😅

[@OverboardDM]

I just picked up my pre-order yesterday. Then this video drops. Lol its too late. 😅

[@CommanderCheapSkate]

@@OverboardDM no worries!

[@Vertrucio]

Curious if these paper tiles are properly scaled with the zone mortalis, or if they're slightly smaller as with previous paper tiles?

[@CommanderCheapSkate]

They're quite large, with two tiles placed together. Based from what I've handled, they're about the same dimensions as the old cardboard ones. Two of those placed side to side. I hope that helps!

[@brionl4741]

​@@CommanderCheapSkateCould you glue them to thicker cardboard?

[@CommanderCheapSkate]

@brionl4741 I wouldn't because they're double sided.

[@jimsailor5469]

I liked the review a lot. But I disagree with two details. Ash wastes was to my knowledge the only new Necromunda box with a hardcover book in it. Whilst I am sad it's a softcover again, it's not really a downgrade. More of a missed opportunity. I would expect the minis by itself to cost the same as the complete box. So if someone wants all the minis, the box is probably the better deal. If only wanting one gang or parts of it, then it's probably better to wait.

[@garfieldwithissuez]

Hey man you know I love your videos and do my best to comment on as many of them as I can, but you are mistaken about the books . The first release of necromunda had only trade paperback, every box said that they have ever released has had a paperback and they only started the hardbound books after the initial box release and the four gang were supplements the first hardbound book was the core rules and then they started the house of books

[@orric77]

The paper maps are such a bad idea. Ive actually purchased an additional set on ebay cheap and plan to mount them on card to improve the robustness of rhem

[@CommanderCheapSkate]

@orric77 thats a really good idea!

[@orric77]

@@CommanderCheapSkate thanks.....let's see how it goes lol. Got the board and the second paper set has arrived!

[@raxacor]

I don’t know why I thought this was going to be a Necromunda game along the lines of Blackstone Fortress with team play and Ai driven enemies, not for me then 🫤, enjoy, looks great.
