The Rewards of Chaos - Necromunda Campaign Trophies

Our current Necromunda campaign, 'Not another chaos uprising!' comes to a climax this week. As with previous campaigns, we will be rewarding player achievements through the awarding of trophies. Given that the theme of this campaign has been centred around a swelling of chaos cult activity, I chose to make the new trophies chaos themed.


The five trophies have been made simply by pinning five plastic 40k chaos cultists to resin display bases from Model Display Products. I painted four of the models silver, with the fifth painted gold. The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that I've added Dark Tongue chaos runes (from Realm of Chaos - Lost and the Damned) to denote the different trophies.



The trophies are going to be awarded for the following campaign triumphs:

Dominator

Awarded to the player in control of the most territories. The chaos rune reads 'monolith' (the closest I could find for something territory-based!).


Slaughterer

Awarded to the player who took most enemy fighters out of action across the course of the campaign. The chaos rune reads 'slain in battle'.


Powerbroker

Awarded to the player with the highest gain in reputation across the campaign. The chaos rune reads 'chaos warband' - I chose this as it might be a rune also used to represent renown.


Master of Chaos

Awarded to the winner of the multi-player finale 'Chaos Uprising: Even Uprisier!. I decided just to add a chaos star to this trophy base.


Overlord

Awarded to the overall winner of the campaign (we determine our winners based overall performance, factoring in wealth, reputation, territories and enemies taken out of action). The chaos rune reads 'victory'.


I'm looking forward to the finale this week, and of course to the next campaign which will start in April!

If you fancy reading a bit more about some of our past campaigns, a guest article I wrote went up on Warhammer Community a few weeks ago - check it out!

  1. Great stuff. I enjoyed reading your Warhammer Community article. All I can say is "more, more!" Would love to see some reports, hear more detail about the goings on! Even just some piccies and a brief blurb from your grand finale!

    1. I often think about doing more battle reports, but they're not something I really enjoy writing, and I've never particularly been interested in reading them myself! Plus I always forget to take photos ;)

    2. Maybe a newsletter like in the old white dwarf necromunda campaigns. One page with action packed headlines

    3. Yes, they are pretty onerous to write! The other option is just a paragraph about the scenario (like in the Rogue Trader scenario generator). I'm always interested in (stealing) the clever campaign and scenario ideas other people come up with!

  2. Brilliant.
    I echo Preacher's comment about seeing more 'Munda reports....you can't beat a good old battle report.....even if they are hard work to produce ;-)

  3. Haha, those are great. I like seeing off the wall things like this. What gold did you use as it is super shiny?

    1. It's several coats of GW's retributor armour, highlighted by adding in a bright silver - that's it!

    1. Thanks Sean. I really want there to be a reason for winning a campaign (other than the adulation of your peers of course). They're quick, easy to make and well worth doing I think.

  7. These are really fun. It's great that you go the extra mile with this stuff to really make the tournaments something special.

    That's funny, you picked my favorite sculpt as the gold trophy!

    1. I think it's worth rewarding people for taking part consistently over 2 or 3 months.

      That one was my favourite too!!
