Awwwright! Let's get a campaign thread going. I'll start. I finally got round to naming my gangers; as it transpires, putting this off until a couple of games in is quite a good idea, because now most of them have some character built up. Without further ado, I introduce to you the Swashraiders, the most fearsome bunch of hive pirates this side of Skullbeard the Black!
Scarred Jenny The leader, and the only one anyone's ever heard of. Packs a fearsome reputation. Likes shouting orrrrrders; dislikes running away.
Comes with: sword, plasma pistol, a bubble of Leadership 8
Miniature: Epic Skarre
Broadsides Bart A bile thrall mutant who likes to tinker with whatever random junk he can find, and occasionally builds something neat. Sensitive about his weight. Enjoys providing fire support and would probably like walking in the woods if he'd ever seen a real tree.
Comes with: heavy stubber, Inventor
Miniature: slightly converted (read: currently broken) Bile Thrall
Caustus The biggest, fattest, scariest and most self-important bile thrall in the Underhive, or at least the parts of it he's been to. His internal acids are so potent (and radioactive) that he's somehow turned his stomach into a nuclear reactor and uses it to power a rapid-firing laser gun the size of a pistol.
Comes with: another heavy stubber, as of late
Miniature: heavily converted Bile Thrall
Black Penny Scarred Jenny's younger sister, hungry for some infamy of her own, but not particularly good at generating it.
Comes with: sword and pistol
Miniature: Lilith from Wyrd Miniatures, plus some horns
Sirene o' the Jagged Rocks The competent one, provably capable of decapitating three enemy gangers in one swing. Murphy's law says she'll never manage it again, of course.
Comes with: sword, pistol, WS5
Miniature: Warwitch Siren
Esmerelda She just really, really likes pirates. Was a bit disappointed when she found out they didn't actually own a ship.
Comes with: sword, pistol, Toughness 4 for some reason
Miniature: Deneghra
Brains A little more undead than he prefers to admit, Brains is a decent shot, but ruins it all by refusing to aim for anything other than the head.
Comes with: lasgun, Escape Artist, infra-red sight (Belly's gonna get cha!)
Miniature: Bile Thrall
Meat Boy Blessed with an indomitable spirit, cursed with absolutely everything else. Uses his lame leg, lack of skin and hideous bloated form to disguise himself as a beggar, hiding in plain sight from the many, many people he owes money to.
Comes with: lasgun, Infiltration, a leg wound
Miniature: Bile Thrall (in fetching red)
Mad Norman, a.k.a. Pipistrelle Man Sometimes thinking he's a superhero, always completely insane, Mad Norman swoops around on his asbestos cape throwing frag grenades and singing happily. Has been known to nyan for an entire battle.
Comes with: frag grenades, bludgeon'n'knife, Catfall, Leap, a right arm held together with rusty staples
Miniature: Gorman diWulfe
Carnis Scutum, Manducat Plumbum, and Humana Murum People richer than Scarred Jenny who she seduced, killed and/or exhumed and turned into undead slaves. Carnis was an Arbites Captain and seems to get cleverer each time he dies. Manducat was a Spyrer from uphive and not a very nice person; his original killer left a machete-shaped hole in his head that doesn't do much for his already-poor personality. Humana used her friendly-housewife demeanour to disguise being the head of an enormous crime syndicate. Between them, they serve little purpose beyond getting in the way of projectiles, a task they are well-suited to performing.
Comes with: very little. Carnis earned himself a bludgeon recently.
Miniature: various Mechanithralls

So yeah, that's my gang! Of course, now that I've gone and written them all up nicely (I have a Word document with their stats and fluff and everything), I bet 3 of them die in the next game, including at least one of my favourite ones. That's Necromunda for you. At least it was a fun way to waste a Monday
