Necromunda in the Swamp

Necromunda gangs are here in Kenshi,

I get this is niche, but I wanted it, so here it is.

Maybe Kenshi is set on planet Necromunda, 40,000 years ago, when Hive Primus was a mere village. Maybe the towering hvies are on the mainland somewhere. Who knows.

This mod replaces the 5 skirmishing gangs in the swamps with 5 of the 6 house gangs found in the Necromunda tabletop game from Games Workshop. The sixth house gang is way up north.

Only the appearances (races and clothes) have been changed from the original Kenshi gangs, so all quests & dialogues will work as per original gameplay. The only major change was the gang replaced by Goliaths. They got a strength boost to look beefier than regular Kenshiers but have a combat reduction to compensate. Delaque have stealth & shooting skew, Orlock are evenly balanced, Van Saar have slightly better gear but also have a combat trim to compensate. Cawdor have some HN paraphernalia (beacause they're strict religios zealots) in their HQ but don't actually act any differently. Escher are way up north, replacing the Flotsam Ninjas, also stats adjusted ever-so slightly. Escher are basically agile, fragile ninjas anyway.

Yes I did considered modding the major factions, and still might. Baby steps.

one day I'll tackle this:
Van Saar - Tech hunters
Goliath - Dust Bandits
Escher - Flotsam Ninjas
Cawdor - Holy Nation
Delaque - black dragon ninjas
Orlock - Traders Guild


but for now I thought the small scale squabbling gangs in the swamp lent themselves to the skirmish nature of the tabletop game nicely without affecting the rest of the Kenshi experience.

This is my first mod, pretty much at the limit of my abilities, so please let me know if you have problems, suggestions, ideas, but please don't expect too much. I learned on the job for this mod.

Works stand alone, should work with other mods as it only affects appearance and minor stats of swamp gangs.
