Necromunda 1 Day Event: Blood Dome: LIVE!

Spireview 9 and Outrider Games thank you for your blood, sweat, and narrative commitment. Now step into the Dome… and make it LIVE!

Welcome to the Dome!

Your gang has been kidnapped, drugged, and taken uphive to participate in a TV game show on the illustrious channel “Spireview 9”. The show? None other than Blood Dome: LIVE!

This is a single-day Necromunda event filled with deadly traps, dramatic betrayals, and gory spectacles. Your goal: survive the episodes, and make it to the grand finale.

What to Bring:

  • Your gang (painted models required)

  • Dice, templates, rulers, relevant books

  • Good humour and bad intentions

Structure of the Day:

  • 4 Blood Dome “Episodes”

  • 1 brutal Finale

Mission Pack is here: Blood Dome: Live! Events Pack

Notes on List Building: Necromunda is about story, drama, and cinematic carnage. Build a list to thrill, not just to kill. Let the Blood Dome be your stage. If you bring shard grenades you will be pelted with an assortment of condiments. 

Also, you may have noticed that trips to the Sawbones costs cash… a prudent ganger might save some creds. But, a stipend of credits may be awarded after games or at the discretion of the show producers for particularly brutal action/leaning into narrative. 

List Submission:
Please send lists in advance to: plus2topaint@gmail.com

Drinks and snacks are available to purchase from the the café.
