Necromunda Scenery 02

I have to admit that I am not a big fan of Games Workshop 💩 and for most of this century I have avoided their products. But when they released a new version of Necromunda last year, I got quite excited. This was one of my favourite GW games of old and the fan boy in me wanted to revisit it. So, these past few months I have bought most of the products for this game, although not from Games Workshop. I still refuse to buy from them when companies like Element Games or Wayland Games sell their products much cheaper, generally 20% less than the RRP. Whilst I was browsing for scenery to use in Necromunda I discovered a boxed set that although was marketed for Warhammer 40,000 would work perfectly in Necromunda. That set was called Sector Imperialis Objectives. It contained 12 multi-part plastic objectives that I thought had loads of gaming potential - not just for Warhammer 40,000 or Necromunda but also the Judge Dredd Miniatures Game or just about any sci-fi game. Let's take a look at what you get with this set.

First up are three supply dump ammo crates. From left to right these contain mortar shells, artillery shells and ammo boxes.

Unlike the lids on the supply crates you get with the Necromunda scenery set, these are not designed to be open or closed. They must be glued in place. I'd have preferred if they could be removable but it's not that big a deal that they can't.

The two black "bombs" are listed as supply dumps. I admit that when I first saw them I thought they were big bombs. I suppose they could be either depending on what you want to use them as.

The other objective is a Lucius Pattern Escape Pod. The blackening on it came from when it entered the planet's atmosphere from space. The hatch covering the engine and the hatch covering the cockpit are separate. I glued the engine hatch in place but not the cockpit hatch. My photos show it fitted in place and separate. It is designed to hold one human or humanoid occupant.

Next up is an Orbital Vox Array, which is another way of saying it is a communications beacon and/or relay. In the centre is an Administratum Cogitator Shrine, which is Imperial gobbledegook for a computer station.

At the far right is an Exterminatus Device aka a bloody big bomb. Note that the countdown clock on it (an absolute must have!) reads 007 - a deliberate nod to James Bond. I love this objective. I can see it being used in so many games.

Moving on, we have the Field Medicarum and examination bed. I was going to say that the Field Medicarum is a robo-doc but it has a human brain that is clearly visible so, technically, it's an android. This is another of my favourite objective items.

Finally, is the Xenos Stasis Crypt. This comes with a clear plastic door, which I haven't glued in place. It's actually quite a tight fit. Inside the device are the skull and spine of a Tyranid Genestealer. This is another great model. Readers of my WOIN blog will probably recognise these last two objectives as they recently appeared in my current Alien Base scenario.
I plan on using these in my Necromunda campaign as either alternative gang relics or objectives in their own right. As I said above, I've already used some of them in my The Ace of Spades Campaign for WOIN and I'm sure they'll also appear in my Judge Dredd campaign. Surprisingly, for a Games Workshop product, this set is relatively cheap, costing just £20.00. However, if you want it, I'd advise buying it from Wayland Games, who currently have it in stock for just £16.00. That's what I did.
