Necromunda Hive Bowl Project, Step 4a: Star Players
As predicted work has got in the way of the continuing development of this project. I was hoping to have the icons for each of the star players completed before I posted their profiles, however it is looking like it will be another week before this is done so I'm going to go ahead and show what I have so far...

Most of the star players are generic across all gangs (new stars may be added later to add to the flavour of the gangs e.g. a Delaque star assassin or a Van Saar star Squat) the exception is Cawdor, because several of the stars are based on Wyrds and Cawdor would never hire a Wyrd (according to the Necromunda Compendium 1), so they have gained access to a couple of secret weapons that I was considering for the Redemptionist teams instead.

Prices are a bit vague based on rough comparisons with existing stars and best guesses on my part rounded to 50k I would be interested to see thoughts on changes to the costs!

The Stars are:

Frater Mortus50k6338Loner, Secret Weapon, BombardierCawdor Only
Soror Flagella100k4737Loner, No Hands, Secret Weapon, Ball and Chain, Sure FeetCawdor Only
Marak Wyrdfark100k6237Loner, Dodge, Hypnotic Gaze, Disturbing PresenceNot Cawdor
Squit Runty100k5246Loner, Dodge, Stunty, Right Stuff, Sure HandsAny
Bull Grog150k6338Loner, Secret Weapon, Chainsaw, Block, Stand FirmAny
Benj Hurt200k6438Loner, Block, Tackle, ClawAny
Mad Anna300k6448Loner, Pro, Block, Dodge, Frenzy, Leap, Dauntless, Dirty PlayerAny
Morgan T'Org400k66310Loner, Block, Mighty Blow, Thick SkullAny


In addition there are three Beast-master star players that use the Teaming rule, these guys try to control some of the meanest beasties from the hive, their pets are very powerful but tend to turn on their owners before rampaging through the crowd. For each you buy the Beastmaster and the pet comes free, so you would need 2 free slots on your roster.

Ra'tan the Outcast150k6237Loner, ThrallNot Cawdor

I will post the images as soon as they are finished, as always feed back readily accepted - I know I have some tweaks to do on the other icons such as beards on the Van Saar players, adding additional identifying features to Cawdor Blitzers (a chain round the neck like the Preacher has possibly) and trying to make the Delaque linemen more distinct without making them look like comic WWII nazi army officers from a badly drawn version of Capt America (which adding shoulder pads to the trench coats did!) I haven't ignored the comments, I just havn't go around to addressing them yet.

It's good, but I was hoping for Kal Jericho, Mad Donna et al. They are the 'stars' of Necromunda.

Mad Anna is a version of Mad Donna, Bull Grog is based on Bull Gorg, I have plans for some of the other characters from Necromunda to make an alter-ego appearance as stars with the relevant outlander gangs.

Why go up in 50k jumps? The normal stars don't...
