Brownrob do you really have a brother? or are you looking to gain acceptance for a possible off-shoot addicition? You talk of getting your brother hooked on a game you don't even play, sadly, I'm sure, you will have to pick up the game yourself in order to provide this "gateway game" to your brother. 
The mini's are similar to Bloodbowl minis to paint, you need some scenery but if you pick up the box set it comes with tons...
Oh and your maximum gang size is 20 minis I believe, that might be an old rule.
Good Luck, it's a great game. |

It´s very good Rob, if you play it with friends, and not competitive. There are some calls which have to be based on judgement (hard cover, soft cover etc.), and if you´re playing competitive, that can completely ruin the game.
That said, the game is good, both for one-offs, but certainly also for campaigns.
You can handle low to high ranking gangs with max 10-14ish models, unless you play scavies, who must be GWs favourite race, since they require you to buy 20 plus models....
I wrote the rules used for the danish chamionship, so if you should have any rules questions or anything else, feel free to PM.

Now, now that I know the gameplay is good, what are the minis like, are they easy to paint, and do you need to make scenery and stuff?  |
the minis arn't the best IMO but you can use anything you fancy the look of i'm converting mine to look the guys out of slipknot the possibilities are endless just find some suitable figs you like and use them as whatever 'house' you like the sound of. you may have to put in abit of work on the terrain coz the card stuff allthough plentyfull is a bit pants
'edit' just remembered get one of thoese laser pens exellent for line of sight you cant argue with a laser (mind your eyes tho) |

In a campaign there are much more injuries than in bloodbowl. The career of my cawdor leader ended when he lost his 2nd eye  .
BTW: there is a LRB available for Necromunda, too. |

well the hardware shop where i work part time are selling laser pointers that tell you the distance (to nearest mm!) and cost £300!  should stop any arguements, and if they dont agree i can just blind them 
Nah, Ive heard folk talk about necromunda, was wondering if they were looking through rose tinted glasses etc but im sure to like it if its like BB |

I even liked it! Problem was.... this is Winnipeg, where there are 4 people who ever play war games who aren't "Beardy nerds". It's about the same on the pocketbook as BB (you WILL buy more minis, but you don't NEED to) Scenery is actually incredibly fun! Do me a favour and play an Orrus gang, for my sake! (I miss those guys, somtimes) |

Hey Mac, how about I buy a gang, and come visit* you in Winnie-the-peg, and we can have a fight!

Actually, a piece of string works great at determining line of site. That is a lot cheaper than a laser pointer too.
Edit: Oh yeah, Necromunda is a great game. When I played they had a weapon upgrade for a gun called "1 in a 100,000" gun. We had a player that would fudge rolls and had 2 of them. Someone playing him said "I guess those are 1 in 50,000 guns. |

I was Van Saar - those guys were awesome! you only needed like 12 minis, you could basically paint them a blanket colour due to their space-suite like uniforms and they were incredibly cool fluff-wise. My gang was The Pythons, led by Monty of course |

My flatmate always said that all the GW games in which you dont have to spend 46464£ or 87917€ are by rule better than those you have to spend tons of cash. Thats life!!  |

The Van Saars were very cheesy though. Having 20 gangers invent a bunch of stuff every game kinda spoils the campaign. |

Those may point, but not measure distance, too. |
