Correct! You get 2 extra attacks (+1 for charging + 1 for the sidearm), only one of which can be made with the sidearm. However, if it were another type of close combat weapon and not a sidearm, e.g. a power sword or a venom claw, you would have to split the attack dice evenly between the close...

Same here, my Kommando Killteam (for which I used my good old Deadzone Marauders) got wiped out by my mate's Murderclown-Elves-in-Space but the game was pretty balanced. We used the Free Play system with TacOp secondaries and had a blast. The cover rule reads more complicated than it is. And if...

Totally agree on the Veer-Myn comment. I run mine as Genestealer corrupted Escher with a pet Ratogre (Nightmare Veer-Myn Aberrant). High mobility, sneaky & blades (Clan Eshyn), Mutations (Clan Moulder), Chemical-Technological Warfare (Clan Skyre) & Poisons (Clan Pestilens) all present. :D

The Things from Below - using Deadzone Veer-Myn by Manticgames as a Genestealer infected house gang.

Good idea, keeping it secret. :) E.g. if you play an Inquisition-themed Venator gang, and no other gang is openly heretic (no cults, no corrupted) in the campaign, your goal could be to win one game against each other gang and take an enemy prisoner to interrogate them (bonus pts for leaders &...

Same as with the BSF Traitor Guard, I 'd say. One box of them (1 Renegade Psyker, 2 Negavolt Cultists, 2 Beastmen, 7 Guard) would probably make a good base for a Killteam. The Servants of the Abyss (8 Cultists, 1 Firebrand) might be trickier to adapt. Funny that GW killed off those boxes, I...

Taken straight from new Killteam 2.0 's narrative play and Warcry's Campaign paths, I am pondering whether this sort of campaign style would work also well in Necromunda to add some narrative depth to each gang's individual progress. Granted, Necromunda Campaigns - are based on the conflicts...

Having gone over the rules, O(r)ctarius und the Compendium twice. Seriously, is this going to be the best GW Skirmisher and chances are it can be even of the top skirmish games all around out there (typos aside)? Having played both Manticgames' Deadzone for years and PP's WarmaHordes for the...

Manticgames' Deadzone did pretty well without a Morale system, for 2 editions straight now. Pinned (like NM's pinned - takes one action to stand up) could also present a model panicking and diving for cover under suppressive fire or dodging a grenade, but that's about it. Works pretty well, and...

Using Manticgames' line of Sci-Fi minis in the Underhive

I built a Helot Gang from the Blackstone Fortress set too, but after deciding to lead a Venator Gang in our local campaign instead, I gave the Cultists to a friend, so he could participate in the campaign as well. I still do the bookkeeping on Yaktribes, and the guy playing the gang and I have...

Death Maidens require some good planning ahead of the game / campaign and build them accordingly to play them at their most effective level. The obvious choice is to make use of their Toxic Blood which has great synergies with the Eschers' signature Toxin toys, and Chem Synths. Essentially, I...

In both cases, and in case of the storm welder as well, the HoC and HoB entries say "may replace one of their Augmentic fists with X" with a seperate entry per weapon change. Since the big guy has two of them, your loadout option 'd be the following: Augmentic fist & Storm Welder Augmentic fist...

Just like @Jacob Dryearth I followed a link here for the female Cawdor and found a trove of great minis. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. I particularly like the red Eschers. :)

Fantastic work on your gang, @Crazy Ivan Re Killteam: Marines followed by Chaos Marines for that classic old setup of Order vs Chaos, then some Xenos. Unless you don't feel like painting blue minis.
