Prepare A Strange Stew With Forge World’s Bigby Crumb
March 6, 2020 by brennon
If you're diving into the world of Necromunda and feel like you need to prepare for your next assignment then maybe Bigby Crumb can help out, Forge World's Ratling Slopper.
Making sure that your gang is well fed can be key. Now, what you actually get fed might not be the nicest but when you live in effectively perpetually dank surroundings, lit by neon light, it probably does help to have someone making you some warm food.
"Unlike most sloppers, who pass themselves off as culinary experts just because they know how to siphon a water still, Bigby can actually cook. This has put him in high demand, although the price for hiring Bigby is often joining him on one of his legendary (and dangerous) ingredient hunts. The Ratling delves deep into the badzones of the underhive in his search for exotic plants and animals to fill his slop pot. Some say he is merely looking to add new recipes to his repertoire, though others claim he seeks to create the perfect dish, one good enough to win his way into the spire."
I love the idea of setting up a rather neat scenario where you have to go looking for all manner of odd ingredients to stuff into your pot. Perhaps you could make this a contest between two gangs where whoever managed to find the most ingredients gets to hire Bigby! As well as coming with his trusty ladle he also comes with a little pistol so he can keep himself safe.
I love that inside the pot you've got a very alien-looking tentacle but also a spare boot which seems to have come from his own foot. I'm sure that this adds a very nice aroma to the stew.
Are you going to be snapping up this character and using him in your games? Rules for Sloppers are available in Necromunda: Gangs of the Underhive and there are specific rules for Bigby Crumb available in PDF form HERE.
What do you make of Bigby?

I really like the guy, not sure about the food he is cooking though.
LOL Can’t be much worse than Imperial Guard-issued corpse starch packs.
I love him. He’ll go on the list for making Forge World orders up to free postage 😉
I really haven’t gotten into Necromunda’s extraneous releases (I only have a basic Goliath gang with no bells and whistles), but I really want to pick up this guy just for fun. There are way too many scenarios he could be used in, and multiple settings if you’re feeling creative. (Halfling cook in the employ of the Greywater Fastness?)
Too many Abhumans for an Imperial Hive City for me (although that’s subjective from player to player).
With all the various gangers, pirates, mutants, and other miscellaneous scumbags, they probably fit in better there than a normal Imperial city. Necromunda’s also a big trade center, so it makes sense a few abhumans here and there would disembark and set up shop, operating however they want without the Inquisition hovering over them.
Get your soup before it gets you.
